FAQ

What is the Roland Boutique series?
Compact ACB recreations of classic Roland instruments — battery-powered, USB audio/MIDI, optional K-25m keybed — sharing docks and a live-rig culture with the SH-01A.
Which Boutique should I buy after the SH-01A?
JU-06A for poly pads/chorus; TB-03 for dedicated acid; TR-08 if you want drums that trigger your SH via TRIG OUT.
Do these pages replace Roland’s manuals?
No. We teach signal flow and recipes in plain language and link to Roland’s official downloads. PDFs are never hosted here.
Boutique vs AIRA vs canon originals?
Canon (303/808/909) defines the dialect. Boutiques are portable recreations. AIRA (TB-3/MX-1/TR-8S) is the modern live cluster. Study all three layers; buy what matches your desk.
Can Boutiques share a clock with TR-8S?
Yes — MIDI clock/USB. Pick one master (see AIRA clock study recipe) and avoid double clock from DIN and USB at once.
Where is the deep SH-01A stop?
/gear/sh-01a hosts the playground, module tour and full recipe HowTos. This Boutique hub links the family around it.
