    Yes! Yes! Thank you Roland! It was the beautiful style I was looking for, without cables in the way. Thank you Nick and Sonicstate, you pointed out so much so efficiently. My opinion: this is the beginning of a new revolutionary era, where we start improving upon what we understandably back-lashed against and killed in the 80's.

    I own one, and I'm very happy, the knobs are not a problem, the unit is solid. And once you turn it on, you just forget about the little wobbliness. The sound is A MA ZING.

      Like an idiot I sold mine and now I miss it everyday. Probably gonna buy another soon. It just sounds so good, and the x-mod + noise + feedback + delay feedback gives you some gnarly sounds. Almost Ms20 like.

    I still love my se02. The waveform and range knobs wiggle a little, but that’s because they go down to the lower board for technical reasons, they never felt unstable. I saw some guy showing stepping in some demo, looking closely, he had snap on in his daw, recording stepped automation, embarrassing, turn snap off please. You have to se it for what it is, they crammed in a minimog like, fully analog synth in a pocket format, that sounds really good, with patch memory and full cc control, wich is crazy achievement. They make a lot of fantastic euro rack modules, so they know what they are doing. They added pwm in a later update after this review, and some other features. I add an overdrive pedal sometimes for added warmth. If you don’t like the format, buy a mini Moog or a behringer, if you’re a keyboardist you won’t like this, the knobs are far too small, for my mini studio it’s perfect with the patch memory and cc, try to find that on a minimoog for this price, or at all. Just my 2 cents.

    It’s fun creating a rhythmic sequence with dynamic parameter changes, then change patches to something related but a little different for sonic variation within a steady pattern. It sounds very futuristic! I like to create interesting cross mod FM or filter mod and adjust the fine tune of the modulator and change the decay and sustain values while bringing up a delay for a few notes to add rhythmic variety, programmed into the sequence for quasi hi hat and shaker noise patterns. It’s got some unique capabilities!

    Nick, the sequencer transpose with key trigger only works with the Roland K-25m keyboard. You can set it up in the Sequencer mode menu, but it won't work (yet?) with other external keys. So you didn't miss it, it's just limited to the K-25.

      If you’re using a Mac, create an aggregate audio device that includes both your audio interface and the SE-02. I have five boutiques and a System-8 all connected at the same time as my actual audio interface. I’m sure there’s some way to do the same thing in Windows.

    Catch up mode on knobs is not usually available on analog. To do so you would have to put a digital interface between the knob and the circuit. Several things that you mentioned in the review as lacking would be easy to do on. digital VA but difficult or expensive on an analog such as this.

    The small size of this synth is of some concern. Small Pots. SE has a thing for small stuff. I'm not much of a fan of 2 Osc sythns, but this synth sounds good, it has PATCH memory. Currently 399 at Sweetwater. I suppose a musician can work with this in their home studio, save patches, then take it out to a gig and play it through a controller or other synth. This is worth serious consideration for an inexpensive sound source to add onto another KB that can use some help.

    Looks pretty good for the price, agree about the wobbly knobs

    Thanks for the review, Nick! (Been waiting for this one.)
    You mention that the waveforms are good shapes, but they triangle and saw both look more than a bit sloped compared to some other demo's you've done. Obviously if you like the sound who cares, but as I'm learning about waveforms this has me curious. Is that not a bit odd? Should they not be straighter than they seem on the video?

    Seems like lately Behringer quality is going up while Roland is going down, not good.

      Behringer quality going up?? - ruclips.net/video/Gmdnby0dPco/видео.html

      The "knob wobble" on the SE-02 is no worse than the "slider wobble" on every Deepmind 12. There were people who got the DM12 and the first thing they had to do was open it up to connect the keyboard ribbon to the main board. That guy is 0 for 2 on the new DM12D. "Behringer quality is going up" is something yet to be seen, IMO. That particular tree is full of cherries to pick.

      Better than paying more for less. Roland are using cheap parts as well.

    There's a official sound editor coming out for this synth (Fall 2017) from Roland, so wobbly knobs small knobs i don't care, studio electronics really knocked it out the park, especially for this price range, 500$ for a 3 osc synth that sounds beautiful to dirty asf, I imagine I might enjoy this more than my pulse 2 which is priced 250$ higher and is also a 3x0sc synth and the filter on the se02 kicks the pulse 2's ass.

      I’m trying to decide between this and a Pulse 2. Any thoughts from your experience? I owned an SE-02 for a while and sold it, now I miss it everyday. Can’t decide if I’d be better off with the Pulse 2 because of the amount of features it has. I do think the SE-02 sounds a little better.

    If I didn't have an M32 it probably eat this up. The pre filter drive does help with the filter dropoff somewhat, something that you can't really do on the m32

    One thing I was going to ask you Nick. Over the past few months has there been a synth released that's absolutely blown you away?

    So is this in exact a Roland minimoog?

    • @josephwright5921
      @josephwright5921 5 лет назад

      MP MI i would say it is very close -maybe 90% there, but with some new and different features like saving patche, new cross modulation options and a basic step sequencing.

    First thing I'd do with this unit is black out the top of the knobs and put a big line or arrow on the top indicating the setting. That blink is ridiculously non-ergonomic.
