You have the following options for an SH-1000:

1. Fit a MIDI retrofit kit
2. Fit a CV/Gate/Filter Socket Kit so that you can use it with a MIDI to CV converter

1. Fit a MIDI retrofit kit

You can fit a MIDI retrofit kit which will allow you to control the SH-1000 directly using MIDI. Our MIDI retrofit kit is for MIDI IN and THRU only.

Fitting a retrofit kit is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or fitted by us at our premises in Tadworth, near London (only available for UK).
