Hehe.  yeah it's a divide down square wave arrangement with analog 
oscillator for the high frequency.  All the early Rolands are like 
this.  The Sh3(a) give slider taps off the footages and three position 
switches for each footage to select waveforms.  Sh1000 gives switches 
for waveform variations off them plus presets which are proportional 
mixes of the various footages available.  The SH1000 is the obvious mod 
since you can just replace the switches with sliders which I'm likely to 
do with the parts I have left over from one some day.  The Sh2000 just 
has more presets in leu of the footage/waveform tabs pretty much but 
very similar otherwise as I recall in the signal generation department. -Bob
