Kebu - Roland SE-02 Demo

I was fortunate to get my hands on (at the time) Scandinavia's only Roland SE-02 synth for a few days. So I took some time to try it out and hooked it up to a Boss RV-500 reverb unit. It's a really lovely sounding analog synth!
The sounds were recorded straight from the SE-02, through the RV-500. No additional processing was used (except for some EQ where mentioned).

[@Antonio229]

Roland should send you an extra synth for free. Your demo is better than what they had advertised.

[@waltercheng5707]

far more better

[@emixbase]

Who do you think made the patterns ? composers and musicians, he may be part of the team, and with that much subscribers, not only the gear is free, but may also be payed for the videos, and I would like to see a talented performer reviewing a gear. Beautiful indeed, watching for a buy myself, thanks for the video !🍻

[@marcelofp75]

Agree

[@jamesstevens2362]

By far the best demo for one of these synths I've seen! Too many of the other demos just show it making different noises.

[@carinasagittariusproject4764]

oh yes how true!

[@thomasekman4548]

You are right! This demo made me by this Synthesizer...

[@tempo.rarity]

This is easily the best demo of this unit out there, your talent highlights the units capabilities.

[@EvilDragon666]

0:03 - two notes away from THE LICC!

[@kierenmoore3236]

Came here to say this! … 5/7ths of The Licc, lol …

[@solota8422]

Once again: size doesn't matter. This little one is just GREAT! (in good hands of course). Love the sound!

[@haraldschiner6837]

Tell that to my wife lol

[@josephwright5921]

Best demo of someone actually playing the unit. Kebu is one of the best recent masters of live synth playing. If only he would tour the USA, even if he had to open for someone.

[@aLoudSi1ence]

I wish this demo never ends....

[@ilungamasan]

the best demo for one of these synths I've seen

[@ianpengilley5160]

I love my SE-02 - those 3 oscillators are just monstrous together! Thanks for all your amazing work, Kebu

[@ElectroslairBlogspot]

My ears enjoyed that thoroughly.

[@snozeman]

My ears did not. They just received the information but my brains was very pleased ;)

[@ElectroslairBlogspot]

[@yhgugio9561]

Internal séquenceur ??? Waaaaaa!!!coooolll!

[@yhgugio9561]

3:46 gooood

[@IanLanc]

That bit could be used in the next James Bond film!!

[@twiglet2214]

Very nice - this is a fantastic little synth and buying it was the easy bit - perhaps you could pop round and give some tuition Kebu ? Seriously - this is like any tool which excels in the right hands.Kiitos ja omistaa a hyva paiva !

[@xntricity6446]

Thanks Kebu, i wasnt aware of this little monster synth until i looked at your equipment. It will be introduced to my moog sub37 and will certainly be happy. Thanks man👍

[@ayberkuyar]

Roland has to pay you. I listen to your demo like a song. And finally yes I got the product.

[@etph1997]

This demo is sooooo good!! I listened to it 10 times already! The bit at 0:48 is just wow I can't get enough of it! Thank youuuu

[@thesearethesuns]

By far, the best SE-02 demo I've seen! Nice Work!

[@spoinkel]

it sure sounds better with those wooden ends!

[@BillAnt]

Right, only Woody the Woodpecker is missing pecking at those wooden side panels. ;D

[@drwolfsburg8916]

I need me those wooden ends lol

[@Youda00008]

1:20 sounds like some old DOS game, would love a full version

[@vintagesynths]

It's again the prove that the gear makes itself no great music but the artist or player. Thanks Sebastian again for this great video

[@maasle]

The topmost Jean Michel Jarre copy cat he is... come on

[@maasle]

He isnt even skilled at the keys, mostly relying on the gear.

[@Cardnim]

@Jimmi Vedsegaard Pedersen. I hope you are joking, because otherwise what absolutle and complete rubbish you speak! @synthlegends is 100% correct, and very well put.

[@Instrumental_covers_by_Albert]

@ Jimmi Vedsegaard Pedersen Really ?? come on show us what you can do

[@ChallengeTheNarrative]

Roland gear is the balls.

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Nice demo. I love the Behringer Model d, but the SE-02 sounds pretty sweet as well. :) Oh well, I guess I'll have to try both out and see which one sounds the best to my ears. I love your demo. Keep up the great work and thanks for the inspiration. :) Sam

[@MIGELGLORIA]

THE FIRST MINUTES TOTAL MASTERPIECE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@graywoulf]

Dude, if it has keys on it, you own it! I am sure you know what I mean by that. Still your number one fan in the US! Looking forward to the live demo. Just what I was wanting to see a while back. Keep on doing what you do Sebastian, I love it!!!!!!

[@basstradamus1]

This demo convinced me to buy it. Thanks for great sounds.

[@Xhumedcorpse]

Wow! Can't believe these wonderful rich sounds come out of this tiny synth!

[@jonathanprice2839]

That's incredible what you can with a very small keyboard. Totally amazing!!!

[@jettsom]

I just recently pick one up used for 290$ with the keyboard and i must say this goes toe to toe with my 1000$ Moog Grandmother (maybe even more as it as way more features). It's a little Minimoog on steroids!

[@MarshalArnold]

lovely demo! The SE-02 sounds awesome!

[@dessiplaer]

I enjoy your videos, especially the videos of your live gigs!

[@Musical.Maze.1]

Thanks for the great video. Great little synth and excellent the sound as well, of the BOSS RV-500!!!

[@Ali_Seraj]

Best demo for this device so far 👍🏼

[@AveMcree]

What type of studio monitors are those?👀

[@AveMcree]

JRapids thanks 😎

[@TsavosAlliance]

I just bought this synth, the new update makes it even better than ever!

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

its a lovelly tiny synth !! - it saves the paches / memory and has a fairly decent 16Stp sequencer

[@jacksonueland]

Absolutely Amazing Demo

[@synthartist69]

This Se02 sounds amazing. Man, I wish they would build a 6 voice and slap 61 keys on it.

[@yurisidorov]

You can chain 6 SE-02’s and control them from 61 keys midi board.

[@reneotten7376]

@@yurisidorov and how do you make them all sound the same?

[@yurisidorov]

@@reneotten7376 They are all controlled from the first unit in the row kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5zIhmpjl9Bmh9E

[@javiceres]

@@reneotten7376 You can use one of them as the master actially

[@TomTechVideos]

Really well played demo! Yesterday I was at the music shop and I saw one unit on the shelf. They did not have a demo unit to try and I managed to keep myself from buying one, barely. I have had doubts about the playability of that small keys but you prove it is possible to play really nicely.

[@thombroom5515]

At 2:14 aweseome song... everything with that tiny masterpiece.. and with a skilled performer.. Thanks

[@turquoisecapricorn]

The best demonstration video of a new piece of gear I have ever seen! Magnificent! greetz from Belgium

[@musicthattouches17]

Not only a demonstration...Music! Very cool!! Its always important, who is behind the maschine!!

[@willortiz3547]

Great sounds Kebu! You should add this synth to your array of equipment. Your performances are stellar! I enjoy them very much! Best regards from Central Florida, USA.....Will

[@sturdyblock]

Studio Electronics SE02, is perhaps the most underestimated synth available (Rolands hideous 'Boutique' format aside). A more usable, larger format desktop module would be most welcomed.

[@TheSqeeek]

I really need to get a Roland synth someday... Good stuff as always :)

[@dr.feelicks2051]

In the meantime all your synth jams can be titled "Roland vs...."

[@MrKeys57]

Onpa hienosti soitettu! - minä sain juri hommattua Roland A-01, paljon pienempi, mutta sama tangentti pöytä, pidä lippu korkealla! Levi-ukkeli Ruotsissa

[@Pepe_LeMac]

Thank you Jurgen Klopp for delivering a champions league to Liverpool and for selling me on this machine

[@strongkareshi]

Hahahaha !!!

[@CyberMunchies]

Oh man lets effin gooooooooo🎉

[@Sonnenengel1]

SUPERB again ... dear Kebu pleeeease go on with your fantastic artwork ...its just fantastic WOOOW thankyou so much. Its sooo inspiring.

[@night_fiend6]

I like the small size and sounds on this, small keys not an issue since being more of a guitar player I would use a guitar style controller.

[@AloneOnTheIsland]

That’s exactly what I was looking for. The best demo of se-02 out there. Thank you friend, I’m buying this baby

[@chancesq]

This little thing is a beast

[@marksteiner3493]

Best demo of this amazing synth. I’m hitting the subscribe button so hard it’s almost snapping the bones in my finger. U Rock.

[@dncviorel]

Smart choice, Roland, you hired the right guy to demo your synth.

[@LFOVCF]

The man's a bloody synth god!

[@minisynthmaniac]

This is the video that sold me the unit.

[@FunkTree]

Kebu's demo dimension engaged, lovely to see a different type of demoing:)

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

I bought one because of this video :) Come play in Ireland some time :D

[@JasonPrzybycien]

Did you get a new toy Kebu? Sounds like you have already mastered it. Most people have no idea what these old machine are anymore. Mad props.

[@nicolapropato]

Un abbraccio dall'Italia, grande maestro!

[@Mujcanal]

Soundtastic !!!

[@iSirTaki]

You've got to have those wooden side panels too, if you want to achive this kind of warmth in sound!

[@user-zt2gc2ok1d]

Excellent performance! Bravo!!! 👍👏👏👏

[@Heyiammaxi]

Oh God, why aren't these samples whole tracks?? Sounds amazing!!!

[@michaelrowe5118]

Are you playing over pre-recorded tracks in a DAW, or is the SE-02 capable of playing both a stored sequence and a melody at the same time? Sorry, I'm new to synths and am thinking about buying this model as my first synth. Great video, thanks.

[@Jesslayc]

I would also love to know the answer to this as well!

[@TransistorBased]

I can't imagine it's multitimbral. The video shows multiple shots so I'm assuming it's all recorded separately

[@Thisisspacemusic]

Great sounds and playing man! That synth is awesome

[@swishpan]

Been watching all kinds of analog synth videos, to find out what to buy for my first instrument in 7 years. Think I just found it!

[@discover.dawless]

Darn beautiful and on that tiny key. Thanks for showing what your doing at the time. I learned alot

[@zemarceloalencar6716]

I'm amazed with so many artists / youtuber's who provide so much information to those who are starting / starting to make music like me. Thank you! I'm living for another 6 months in Washington DC and I really wanted to learn how to use drum machines and synthesizers to make music. Does anybody know how to tell me a teacher? the videos have helped me a lot but I need to make the options available that the technology offers nowadays. Thank you very much! meanwhile, I'm inspiring myself with you...

[@devmiles]

very beefy and cutting through sound, love it!

[@IISBV]

Shivers down my spine.

[@paulhaytonnz]

Wonderful composition Kebu!

[@franckygoestomagudas]

The synthesizer revisited, I love, I will follow your extraordinary journey, a new listening to the synthesizer rebirth, amazing, thank you very much, (J-M Jarre, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone, Vangelis and Gino Soccio, etc, : they are proud of you). Congratulations Kebu...

[@greatwayneproductions4081]

It sounds so good in here

[@ronanhughes3861]

Better than any demo I've seen so far! Great!

[@marcelofp75]

Great demo.

[@paleocartel]

That riff at 2:57 is fire!

[@zeroic]

I don't know anything about synths but I could (and I did) listen to this demo again and again because it sounds so damn tight.

[@filon.]

Kebu jesteś świetny!

[@zammerman9424]

Some of the coolest music I ever heard and it was just demos!

[@dakoiaa]

Thank you for another great video and specially for this remarkable demo!! Could you kindly comment, did you multitrack recording the song at the very beginning of the video or, despite being mono, the SE-02 allows some sort of dual tone as a hidden feature?

[@andyq9669]

Damn fine work and some well constructed sounds. I didn't realise the sequencer could store per-note patch data. The rhythm demo was an excellent example. I just wish this box had some patching so I could fit it in with my other modular and semi modular gear. I think Roland missed an opportunity there.

[@javiceres]

It has pitch and filter cv inputs though (and gate I/O)

[@TheOblivionMemeGuy]

Awesome modern synth! Versatile, from 70's analog to gritty acid

[@williamsledge400]

Best demo so far... KEBU!!!

[@dtlbsns]

Awesome demo

Great Music as always Sebastien! 😀👌🎵🎶🎼🎹👍😃

wow. Just wow. Intense and perfect with the litttle variations making it so real. THks Kebu !

The Master at it's best. Superb. My ears thanks you very much.

Alright.... I'M SOLD... Already have the SE-02 EXT box here, now just gotta grab the synth. There goes my $ sigh~~~

Lovely playing, as well as a good intro to this box...

[@pontusa6714]

Best demo video of the SE-02!! You are the true master of analog sounds!!

Lovely and massive sound!

[@raulacevedo-esteves9493]

Excellent demo.

[@mediciworks7873]

hey kebu! question - you have a lot of beautiful vintage, and new synths. my question is how did you come about getting all of them? did you inherit any? did you buy them? save up? you've got tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear as a hobbiest/professional, so I'm just wondering. Keep up all the vids, love it!

[@dennismossinkoff7993]

the Best sounding boutique

[@bonnetthierry3012]

wow ! Amazing ! Nice demo and big sounds :)

[@saschablock7795]

I love the Part when starting the internal Sequenzer at about 1:21 - in which title can we enjoy this Part?

[@Superlover]

great video showcasing this synth. thanks for those musical examples!

[@rattleheadftg]

Man that intro is KILLER!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@geluix69]

Best demo hands down , fantastic.

[@bboy3038]

You sir are on point, I loved every millisecond of it. Well done man

[@BuzzJones]

This is cool, should you run the boutiques like the jp08, jx03 or ju06 through some sort of effects unit like your RV-500 ?

[@bassplayer9432]

Great demo!
