Looks like they beat Behringer to the punch

SLiC · 20th June 2017

That looks too good to be true.

sim238 · 20th June 2017

That's a lot of features for $499.

The sequencer is no slouch either at that price point. Per Sweetwater page:

Quote:

Creative performance options let you set scale, direction, first/last step, and shuffle mode. Onboard memory is available for 128 sequence patterns and 16 songs — each with up to 16 parts.

Oh no...

EDIT: not really hating, but there's very little finger space if this is the form factor. I would actually have been okay with smaller diameter knobs.

EDIT2: forgot about the lack of pitch/mod strips... so it's not too bad.

That's effing great for the money!!! 499 for a three oscillator synth.

Studio Electronics? Never saw that coming.

ArtFluids · 20th June 2017

This is some fever dream

plasmasynth · 20th June 2017

This is the goofiest thing. Is it April 1st? A SE clone of a minimoog by Roland? Out of all the things not needed at this point they went with a minimoog instead of a VCO SH boutique

Cue the haters... well done for hating it first.

Form factor doesn't really bother me, personally.

I'm not interested in playing The Rockford Files opening credit tune all day every day.

HaveItAll · 20th June 2017

Yeah its a MiniMoog. Waiting for the haterz cos job losses at MoogMusic

Moonwhistle · 20th June 2017

Losing my mind.

ArtFluids · 20th June 2017

Here's the main thing: CV/Gate input.

Just can't wait to hear it.
Studio Electronics are FAR more qualified to do Minimoog territory than Behringer. SE have been making those MidiMini's and SE-1's since forever.

EDIT: The last thing on earth I thought I would ever see was Studio Electronics' sequel to the SE-1 be a Roland collaboration. What is this timeline?

sim238 · 20th June 2017

My pre-order is in. Easiest pre-order ever. Now I just have to hear the thing.

I don't think anyone saw the Malekko collab coming either.

Now I want to see a boutique SH2 as well.

redloheb · 20th June 2017

So Minimoog clone is future redefined by Roland?

Mushy Mushy · 20th June 2017

This is an incredibly impressive feat.

Anyone who's ever worked at a large corporation is aware of the massive lead times to bring something to market. Roland obviously saw the D and thought it was a good idea and needed it out first. They then thought of Studio Electronics who would already have the knowledge to build it, albeit in a shrunken form.

My mind boggles with all the legal, regulatory and financial work that must have gone on behind the scenes for the last several months.

Bravo Roland!

They do have one more synth to reveal today. Let's hope it's something like that and not a desktop System-8 or something.

Poor Uli

Ben F · 20th June 2017

so....small....always one thing.

The 16 step sequencer is cool. Still don't understand why they went for Moog clone instead of a Roland unit.\

It has a delay too- nice.

Not a single mention of Moog Music, Minimoog, or "parts cost" anywhere, FWIW.

And soon we'll get a new thread called Roland SE-02 is dead as Moog claims infringement!

Seriously though, I hope they sell a ton of 'm. I think the target audience going for a Mother-32 should be different enough anyway (and both are so cheap, so ¿por qué no los dos?)

Deleted b472e31 · 20th June 2017

Yes where are the Moogists... lets Hate, or missing the Name Behringer ?

Aha, well you see, this is the SE-02. It's NOT a clone of the Minimoog (wink wink) it's a sequel to the SE-1.
