Perfect Beginner Synthesizer! (Roland S-1)
After spending a little over a month with the Roland S-1, I've come to the conclusion that it's the perfect beginner synthesizer. It's got just the right balance of knob per function controls while still giving you plenty of deep control via menu diving. It also has an easy to use sequencer, effects, fun motion controls, USB audio, and so much more, all at a reasonable price! What do you think of the S-1? Let me know in a comment below! Enjoy the video :)
