However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Roland SH-4D Synthesizer is a powerful desktop sound module that includes eleven OSC (oscillator) models spanning vintage analog tones to cutting-edge digital textures. As well as the new SH-4D native engine, the synthesizer also features a range of models including classic Roland gear such as the JUNO-106, SH-101 and more. Utilsing four independent synth parts complete with a multitimbral pattern sequencer and onboard effects makes the SH-4D is a sound design powerhouse.
Product Ref: 252926
Incorporating the best of both worlds, the SH-4D includes both vintage analog models as well as cutting-edge digital textures allowing you to tap into the warmth and grit of analog oscillation and the versatile nature of digital oscillation. As well as the new SH-4D native engine, the sound module comes equipped with a variety of different models including classic Roland gear such as the Juno-106 and the SH-101. It also features both classic and modern-day models including Wavetable, Cross FM, PCM, Ring, Chord, Drawing and more.
Comprised of four independent synth parts, the SH-4D can process up to 60 voices of total polyphony (dependent on the OSC model voice settings) allowing you to create powerful multi-layered sounds. Create everything from aggressive bass tones to pads and soaring leads with the wide range of controls on offer. Shape your sound using the dedicated Filter, Amplifier and LFO sections and a Rhythm part with selectable waveforms and individual sound design per instrument for advanced users.
Designed to optimise your workflow, the SH-4Ds comprehensive control panel features 32 rotary knobs and four sliders as well as an array of buttons for navigation and more. Taking inspiration from classic Roland modules; the SH-4D includes a button keyboard with a two-plus octave range so you can play notes directly from the synthesizer. You can navigate between sounds and settings using the four-button directional controls (up, down, left, right) and toggle between settings, functions, effects and parameters using the LCD display.
One of the most unique features of the SH-4D is the inclusion of 'D-Motion' technology. This allows you to create performance effects by physically moving the synthesizer, translating your movements into modulation and more. You can also modulate multiple assignable parameters from the advanced modulation matrix. Creating melodic rhythms using the 'Visual Arpeggio' which provides instant visual feedback showing you how your notes are being affected and arpeggiated.
Roland are renowned for their iconic sequencing capabilities, first pioneered in early drum machines from Roland and taken to the next level with the SH-4D. The multitimbral sequencer allows you to sequence more than one timbre at a time, allowing you to create multi-layered patterns that can be changed on the fly.
With 128 patterns at your disposal, the SH-4D is well suited to live performances as well as studio work, allowing you to create ever-evolving sequences and even full-blown songs. You can also input your notes in various ways such as real-time recording, two step-entry and motion recording for added versatility.
A sound designer's dream, the SH-4D provides extensive sound processing functions with MFX (multi-effects) for each 'Tone', allowing you to texturise sounds, add depth or experiment with timbre. It also has global MFX in the form of reverb, chorus, delay and more. You can also use the SH-4D alongside your favourite DAW or a variety of MIDI instruments thanks to the built-in audio/MIDI interface and 5-pin MIDI I/O connectivity.
Portable and powerful, the SH-4D is perfect for musicians on the move or in the studio. The compact design makes it suitable for portable sound creation, with the SH-4D capable of being powered via batteries or USB-C hub power. The rear of the synthesizer features a range of analog connections including a headphone jack, stereo 1/4-inch audio outputs and even a 3.5mm stereo audio input for incorporating external synths such as the AIRA Compact or Roland Boutique range. You can also synchronise your MIDI/modular gear using the clock input - great for creating powerful synth rigs.
