I love Greg! He and his brothers are from Detroit like me! I remember a dude stole my SE-1 after he tried to destroy it. He wanted to sell it But greed he didn't sell it as is. He put it in the shop to repair. I had a hunch that he would try to repair it. I called Greg and he said one came in beat-up saying his girlfriend did it. He looked in it and saw my personal presets and Greg said this is your unit. He gave the dude an excuse while I called the deceptive to be able to get it back. I had to pay for the repairs and we became friends. He even liked my patches and may have used them in future SE 1's. He's a Godsend for us Musicians/songwriters/music producers
I absolutely love this product. It has changed my understanding of sound and music. The mono sound has expanded my ear to hear sound and music together. (Yes, I know that sounds stupid.) Literally, this instrument came make one sound alone musical. The unbelievable sound of this instrument with the sequencer is a lesson in music creation. You can produce harmony and rhythm with one note!
I want to cry, Roland finally!!! It took almost 30 years, and for once I'm starting to hear THAT Roland Holy Grail sound. This is a dream starting to come true. Roland getting ready to step up, and let everyone know who once they were!! C mon Roland give us back the Jupiter 4, Jupiter 6, Jupiter 8, Juno !!!
Now, if Roland and Studio Electronics came out with a poly/paraphonic version of this synth, with some extra effects, that would literally break the synth world
Roland is finally on the right path - true analog synths. Thank god its finally happened. I've spent 15+ years hoping this day would come. Please redo your Juno and Jupiter synths in true analog. Do a crowd funding campaign if necessary. Make it happen. In the meantime I will try out this new synths
Typically, what you are told in product videos is exaggerated marketing. In this case there is most likely no exaggeration. This is amazing. Thank you Roland! :) I didn't think we would see the day for something like this to happen. I guess, I have to buy one. If you make a 19" version with bigger knobs for a little higher price, I'll buy that, too.
This is what i need in my life! The other Boutique i own (JU, JX, JP) are great, but this is promising to be something else! Shut up and take my money!
I am totally interested in this synth. The sounds demonstrated are just fantastic. With 380 something patches already designed to go this thing is amazing. The sounds seem so rich and full and usable Roland may have hit the jackpot with their new partnership. You don't want your synth to sound like a flute, or a piano, or a violin...you want it to sound like a synth. This has synthiness in spade fulls. This is a brilliant instrument and takesRoland out of their dated genres. I want it now but will have to save up for it. Great stuff Roland!!
This looks like a very smart thing to do. Combine the manufacturing and marketing power of Roland with the design specialty of SE, and create something that sounds great, costs great, and gives people a new synth combined with a classic approach. I hope this is a great product and I also hope that it is the first of more things like this.
I'm glad Roland partnered with someone else who knew about true analog. Don't get me wrong, the Juno 106 and the Jupiter are true analog, however when was the last time Roland put out anything that wasn't digital!! Decades I tell you.....decades 😳 Bout time Roland.....bout bloody time
I vowed never to buy another mono synth but of course then I heard this. Ive found all the analog synths I have owned to be sort of one trick ponies but this si clearly something different. Im no synth guru but I can tell this thing is truly on another level compared to many modern analog monons
To all the haters on here: if you feel inclined to criticize, then take your happy asses to university, get an electronics engineering degree, and design your own damn analog synthesizers.
Mr. Roland (R.I.P) was against making analog synthesizers while he was alive. Now that he is gone expect Roland to start the analog synth process again. Baby steps, folks.
For a subtractive synth like this the sine wave is not a good starting point because it has no rich harmonic content. It only has one frequency component and thus the filter can not do much with it because there's not much to filter out.
Moog Mother is still a killer synthesizer. It's got a good selection of patch points and a very nice sound. But this is a whole different thing. If you're adding to an existing rig, a Mother is a great add. If you're starting to build a rig, this SE synth is a great start.
@@HeIiosphan Although it’s impressive they managed to get this to fit in the boutique format, the fact that it requires AC power makes me wonder why they didn’t just make it bigger. If it’s not portable, why cram it into a small box with tiny knobs? That said, I personally like the small size because I have a small studio and don’t have space for full size racks or larger desktop modules.
That is a lot hype built into their own video. Also, not the first time they had others do their analog for them. i.e. Reon Driftbox, Malekko System 500.
Sounds great in the video but it does sound more Moog that a Roland don't get me wrong I love the Moog sound. Great lil unit got to get one. And mono has a lot of place in todays music.
I would have liked hearing fairly quick samples of maybe 50 of its hundreds of canned sounds to get an idea of its versatility. Instead I got a partnership sales pitch.
That sounds nice and looks nice depending on the price, the first Roland release in a few decades to pique my interest. I might have to shrink my man-hands to fairy-size to use it. The dilemma now is whether to get my SH3a fixed or buy one of these. ARG! (and what happened to Malekko? are they still making those modules? Why no patch points on this new box?)
Finally got to try it in the store. Sounds awesome. Sequencer is fantastic. But waaaay too tiny. It wasn't any fun squinting over the synth. Make a normal sized SE-02 and I'll buy it. That's a promise :)
The paranoid in me keeps thinking that Roland are going to wait a few days until the comments like "this thing sounds awsome ...analog is just so much better!" And then a Roland scientist in a white lab coat is going to jump out from behind the bush and go "BOOO! haha fooled ya! it's got our AIRA ACB inside !! Now shut up and buy one of our digital products finally!".
I won't speak for anyone else but one product doesn't immediately undo years of eyebrow-raising on my part. And it seems barely their product to begin with. It's neat they're doing this but they've also released the Reon Driftbox and Malekko System 500 so it's not completely out of their wheelhouse. I think a lot of people wanted but didn't expect Roland to do analog. And we are talking analog 808, 909, Juno, SH-101.. ya know... Roland analog. How man ladder filters did Roland use back in the day? Regardless, I don't immediately love it just because it is analog. Not that I'm complaining about its existence, just adding my two cents. Studio Electronics has lots and lots of good sounding euro modules and desktop synths. Still, $500 can buy a lot of mono synths these days.
Huh... I thought my post was fairly neutral and well opined. But youtube commentors getting their panties in a twist is now the normal these days. You should unbunch that quickly. And Studio Electronics did most of the heavy work here bud... I think you skipped over that part. And I'm not even really complaining! Jeez, I can have opinions on Roland products because I've bought them.. and mostly regretted them. I actually think the SE-02 is neat and sounds good.
Now Roland, you are in the right path
I love Greg! He and his brothers are from Detroit like me! I remember a dude stole my SE-1 after he tried to destroy it. He wanted to sell it But greed he didn't sell it as is.

It's quite real, I have a homemade synthesizer, I'm very satisfied.ruclips.net/video/z_lQwuRtSb4/видео.html
I swear people just thumbs down because it's Roland these days but this sounds and looks very promising.
yeah this is BS nobody needs another monosynth, especially ones at 500 dollars ; I'll never buy roland stuff ;
If they really want to get back in the game, what we really need is the new analog TR of the future !
a what
I also wantto do thumbs down because they only talk in this movie, no proof, better watch that other movie.
Aa Bs wow, by the time you go out for your fav ice-cream, reviews from synth sites & blogs will be done. chill.
What a dream collaboration! This is going to be amazing!
Thank you both, Roland & Studio Electronics! The SE-1 is one of my most used synths.
Hell yes, I love my SE-1X!!!

Take my money!!!! Thank you Roland and Studio Electronics, this is absolutely awesome!!
Well done, Roland. You finally got it right :) I hope you continue your journey with SE.
Nice! You can never have too much Studio Electronics.
I am totally interested in this synth. The sounds demonstrated are just fantastic. With 380 something patches already designed to go this thing is amazing.

no shit Roland - this looks really cool. 3 osc mono analog synth packed with features at a reasonable price! Very excited!
A collaboration of 2 of the best synth makers in the world!!
After seeing this I want to buy one, even when I already have one
Dream collaboration! Here's hoping we are also getting a new analogue drum synth on the final reveal date (23rd).
This looks like a very smart thing to do. Combine the manufacturing and marketing power of Roland with the design specialty of SE, and create something that sounds great, costs great, and gives people a new synth combined with a classic approach. I hope this is a great product and I also hope that it is the first of more things like this.
Roland has always been awesome in many ways. Very very Cool synth!
I'm so happy now! I love it!
This is such a special synthesizer
Sounds awesome, added this synth to my wishlist! ;)
I have already pre ordered the TR 08 and the SE 02. Can't wait.
3 osc for under 500 from Roland and Studio electronics? Yes please! I definitely don't need another mono but now I want one.
I'm glad Roland partnered with someone else who knew about true analog. Don't get me wrong, the Juno 106 and the Jupiter are true analog, however when was the last time Roland put out anything that wasn't digital!! Decades I tell you.....decades 😳
Bout time Roland.....bout bloody time
That bass line for the first fifty seconds, or so. I could groove to that, indefinitely.
🤖✨ love it! Bravo Roland.
einfach nur Top Der Sound hat mich wirklich überascht
Great that Roland are responding to demand.
This is a good direction for Roland. Kudos! I like Studio Electronics too.
me gusta este modelo de Roland saludos desde tijuana MX
Truly impressing. It will sell like ice-cream.
Can you please move forward with another analog synth with studio electronics but polyphonic with NO USB power plug and/or wall wart? Thank you!
I got one and it’s an incredible music/studio/live performance tool
I vowed never to buy another mono synth but of course then I heard this. Ive found all the analog synths I have owned to be sort of one trick ponies but this si clearly something different. Im no synth guru but I can tell this thing is truly on another level compared to many modern analog monons
Finally a great product from Rola . . . . oh wait, this is from Studio Electronics, a great company.
Superb !
To all the haters on here: if you feel inclined to criticize, then take your happy asses to university, get an electronics engineering degree, and design your own damn analog synthesizers.
Nice video and synth is in route now.
RIP - Ikutaro Kakehashi (1930 - 2017)
Amazing !!!
If it does the sound from 2:17 to 2:22 in real life, I'm sold.
Oh yes, I have one and man it’s so easy to get to that sound it’s almost laughable lol
Big fan of SE. this is awesome!
Very nice, well done.
finally an analog synth from roland
awesome! how can I get SE-02 for a review?
awesome!
Jupiter 8 MKII may actually happen!!!!
This is going to be a really good device :D
very cool
Mr. Roland (R.I.P) was against making analog synthesizers while he was alive. Now that he is gone expect Roland to start the analog synth process again. Baby steps, folks.
There was no Mr. Roland. If you mean Ikutaro Kakehashi, he spent decades designing and building analog synths, so you are completely misinformed.
my new synth to go!!! :)
YES!!!
1:14 Track ID pretty please?
Yes, that shit was amazing!
Finally!
Great!!
Cool !
I wish it went down the 64' octave, but will prob grab this over the as-1, hope it can slide notes together.
Sounds Cool
Im sold
Why is the sine wav omitted from current synthesizers?
For a subtractive synth like this the sine wave is not a good starting point because it has no rich harmonic content. It only has one frequency component and thus the filter can not do much with it because there's not much to filter out.
Generally a triangle wave is what you want in an analog synth. You’ll still find a sine wave in every LFO though.
it looks and sounds really cool, but would have been even better if they had the option of a roland sounding filter like on the sh-101 or juno
it was about time ..
Anyone knows who did the music @1:11 ?
I see It has a cv gate. wonder how a theremin would work with this device.
what's the name of the device with the blue screen on the shelf at 1:39?
oscilloscope
I was considering buying a Moog Mother or a MFB Dominion Club, but this looks more promising to me.
Moog Mother is still a killer synthesizer. It's got a good selection of patch points and a very nice sound. But this is a whole different thing.
If you're adding to an existing rig, a Mother is a great add.
If you're starting to build a rig, this SE synth is a great start.
I'd buy one
ok, where do i pay to order this?? :)
Is this just a preview? Looking forward to seeing the specs!
BOOMSTAR DIED FOR THIS!
this machine sound sick, why only one ADSR ?
It has two envelopes, not one. They’re both ADS (they don’t have a release stage).
This looks good ;)
At least this on has a real AC plug. But still the knobs look ridiculously small
@@HeIiosphan Although it’s impressive they managed to get this to fit in the boutique format, the fact that it requires AC power makes me wonder why they didn’t just make it bigger. If it’s not portable, why cram it into a small box with tiny knobs? That said, I personally like the small size because I have a small studio and don’t have space for full size racks or larger desktop modules.
If I was after a patch like the sound in the intro, where should I start?
nice
That is a lot hype built into their own video. Also, not the first time they had others do their analog for them. i.e. Reon Driftbox, Malekko System 500.
So what?
Wowzer
Can you adjust the pitch bend range?
I wonder how this will compare to the new Behringer Minimoog clone...
Sounds great in the video but it does sound more Moog that a Roland don't get me wrong I love the Moog sound. Great lil unit got to get one. And mono has a lot of place in todays music.
But why dials so tiny?
this is big
Roland should open up their own analog division again.
I would have liked hearing fairly quick samples of maybe 50 of its hundreds of canned sounds to get an idea of its versatility. Instead I got a partnership sales pitch.
There are lots of videos of people going through the presets.
That sounds nice and looks nice depending on the price, the first Roland release in a few decades to pique my interest. I might have to shrink my man-hands to fairy-size to use it. The dilemma now is whether to get my SH3a fixed or buy one of these. ARG! (and what happened to Malekko? are they still making those modules? Why no patch points on this new box?)
would this work using a moog etherwave standard theremin? since there both analog?
That's a buy. :)
Analog with presets. Sold.
Cool.
hahah nice windows 7 ding sound @ 4:02 how did they miss that...
This sounds more like a Minimoog than the Behringer Model D.
Finally got to try it in the store. Sounds awesome. Sequencer is fantastic. But waaaay too tiny. It wasn't any fun squinting over the synth. Make a normal sized SE-02 and I'll buy it. That's a promise :)
I don’t mind the size, but I definitely think there’s a market for a bigger version.
yes is great...
The paranoid in me keeps thinking that Roland are going to wait a few days until the comments like "this thing sounds awsome ...analog is just so much better!" And then a Roland scientist in a white lab coat is going to jump out from behind the bush and go "BOOO! haha fooled ya! it's got our AIRA ACB inside !! Now shut up and buy one of our digital products finally!".
Hahahaha that's srsly funny
Use every sound source that we can get our hands on and make music! I want one of everything, in my dreams...
Paranoid - right!!
Even then the snobs would never accept ACB. Their commitment to ignorance will never budge.
1st time in 20 years i'm potentially interested in a *new Roland synth. FLAG.
Fuck that sounds epic
want one.....
Shit people! They finally release something Analogue and you still moan. no pleasing some.
I won't speak for anyone else but one product doesn't immediately undo years of eyebrow-raising on my part. And it seems barely their product to begin with.

I don't see too many people complaining about it.
People want synth that will compose by itself and feed you while jamming and change your diapers same time.
