Nighttime video test on very dark rural roads. Camera is mounted to the front fairing of my GL1500 Goldwing. Lighting is from 2x35 watt HID headlights plus 2x55 watt halogen driving lights.

This video is the culmination of two months worth of work. I took a barely functioning, 40-year-old Roland SH-101 and brought it back to perfect condition - and then I went further, installing a Tubbutec "SH-1oh1" upgrade kit which gives it MIDI capability, drastically extends the sequencer and arpeggiator functionality, NVRAM storage, new LFO and envelope generators, and much more. Then we explore the "new" synth, demonstrate the new features, and create a sample demo track with the modernized SH-101!

Two months ago, I posted an unboxing video of my CC121 (link below). I had several people ask me to make a video demonstrating the CC121 in use with Cubase, and to go over its various controls. So this is that video!
