I use a 1/8 to 1/4 cable into my mixer without any problems, though I need to push the gain a bit as it comes in a bit softer than my other gear. **Q: 4 FON. I have a microfreak and a miniKorg. Owned the original SH-101 bk in the day. Wasn't impressed. Would this really be a useful addition? Thanks.** A: The original SH sound is there in all it's glory, but S1 adds a ton of excellent features, like polyphony! It has a lovely musical filter, a really useful/fun sequencer and amazing reverb and delay. The D motion chip is a nice extra and they used the ACB tech to make this sound analog without the price. Battery powered, midi and audio over USB C. What else are you looking for? It's stupid cheap for what you get and it sounds huge. The only tiny drawback is the red display from the 80s they decided to go with, and some functions are under one layer of menus. Not a huge deal at all and I'll never part with my S1. It's the best of the little aria boxes by a mile. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***H on 15 April 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on 15 January 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on 13 February 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Roland Tweak Synth (S-1) - Roland AIRA Compact T-8 Beat Ultra-Portable Bass Machine Sounds | TR-REC Drum Sequencer | Six Rhythm Tracks | Built-in Effects | USB and MIDI Connectivity - Roland CB-RAC AIRA Compact Carrying Custom Case to Protect Your E-4 Voice Tweaker, J-6 Chord Synth & T-8 Beat Machine | Streamlined & Rugged with Internal Mesh Pocket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/626676386-roland-s-1-tweak-synth-compact-polyphonic-synthesizer](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/626676386-roland-s-1-tweak-synth-compact-polyphonic-synthesizer) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
