I really like this synth. The sounds generated can be very powerful, cutting through a mix very well. Although it has two oscillators, there is a sub-oscillator tied an octave below osc. 1 (like on the SH101). Unlike the SH101, the SH-2 is very strongly constructed, has no arpeggiator or sequencer, and no 'hold' function. However, the modulation possibilities are greater. Not much of a review I know, but there you go. It's just my opinion!
