Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer - SonicLAB Review

[@tracer690]

My synth repairman said this is only synth recently that has impressed him and he has repaired thousands of synths and has huge collection.

[@josephwright5921]

[@rudii7]

@@josephwright5921 knobs on the D-05? did you mean the little joystick? i've had my d-05 for a while now and my only complaint is that tiny little joystick. It's never felt loose, It's just too tiny for subtle changes in partial balance

[@MrBasic]

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.

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

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. Br bobb

[@DDONNRICARTUR]

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.

[@HotStrange]

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.

[@WxkR]

I sweat each time Nick grabbed a knob. They should actually be called "wigglers".

[@robotboot]

ha yeah

[@glenorpheus]

yeah put me off instantly shame as the synth has great potential

[@meneerjansen00]

Do you mean that the knobs are wobbly?

[@dustinhut13]

That knob wobble is downright scary. C'mon guys, for months all I've heard is how the build quality will be so much better than Behringer's offering. Haven't noticed wobble like that in any of the Behringer D videos. Just saying!

[@javiceres]

May be it's due to it being a demo unit ... ?

[@rosshealy408]

Just purchased and it really is a HUGE sound. The form factor you really forget about once you start creating sounds. The knobs on mine are not wobbly like the Sonic demo version.

[@ericques9974]

Hi, is this one better or tha actual little keyboard they have is better ? I am guessing this one is because I can hook it up to another one of my 88 keys and get more notes ? Thanks

[@hoagy_ytfc]

I have two - on one of them the some kobs have a way better feel than the other, for some reason. Both function/sound the same, but one has a better build quality than the other.

Its funny when nick says sometimes "more on that later" Seems it never happens. Ether way, nicks reviews are always fun. And those oscillators sounds really good.

[@the_synthesist]

Knobs are looking a bit wobbly what do you think about them?

[@sprungingforvoltage]

can kutlu Only the 'tented' knobs are wobbly. But it isn't a deal breaker. I love my SE-02. All other knobs feel solid.

[@Padbangers]

it's because they are made to be operated by tweezers or chop sticks not actual real sized hands

[@WxkR]

It does sound good. Really good. I'd still get one despite the knobs and routing/sequencing limitations (if I were on the look for a 3 osc. monosynth).

[@post_ultra1511]

They look like the exact same knobs as the ones on the JX-03, which I have, and those are rock solid with absolutely no wiggle. Not sure why they look so unstable on this one.

[@marctronixx]

can kutlu try the unit in a store to make your final judgement. I have had this unit since launch and im not worried about the knobs. Yes there are a couple of wobbly knobs but the build quality is solid.

[@noou]

what about stepping filter for high resonance? I recently found another video showing that issue.. if that's the case, that's a showstopper

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

I've heard/played this in person and I can attest it's a beast. Great value, I don't think people would understand what it would do to the price to make it so that it could have full-sized knobs etc etc etc.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

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.

[@ludotex]

The osc and the filter sound good. But all the control around seems and sound unprecise and messy. We'll see what people come up with it. If its your first analog mono, look into a bass station 2 or a dreadbox synth also.

[@Massproduce201]

[@pheotus]

i tried one out. the sound is amazing and the price is right, but that said. the knobs are soooooo close together that when you turn one. your finger bumps the others. so that killed it for me. you can see in the video nicks fingers bum the other knobs.... too bad.

Too bad for you, sausage fingers.

[@tradewhales9170]

[@Deeplycloseted435]

That, not at all slow osc3 Lo mode is pretty disappointing. I would never us PWM that fast on a bass sound. Has this been fixed?

[@alderpublishingllc4702]

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!

[@adey7569]

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

[@CockatooDude]

Well it's good for Behringer.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

Behringer quality going up?? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ7Hn5WvZcmDmdE

[@RobertSaintJohn]

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.

[@adey7569]

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

[@SPAZZOID100]

[@jean-pierrejoubert6140]

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?

[@ConenRuam]

Has anyone tried it? How snappy are the envelopes?

[@marcelfrehse]

can I also record MIDI notes into the SE-02 from external MIDI Keyboard into the sequencer by hitting each note after note?

[@Musical.Maze.1]

The knobs are not sturdy enough or no?

[@meneerjansen00]

Like other people said: unfortunately the video's got some pretty serious interlacing issues. Because of this, we can't see the letters on the synth which is a pity because then we don't know what's being done... Maybe the vid can be rendered again or maybe some settings on the camera were wrong?

[@sonicstate]

hmm, thats very odd, It didnt disply those issues on the check we did here. Sorry about that

[@meneerjansen00]

Luckily your excellent review is only really affected by this in the beginning of the vid, when you turn the knobs. Thanks for all the great reviews and previews! :-)

[@MattGreerMusic]

Why do these videos sometimes get a shimmery wobbly effect like it's sort of underwater or something? Is it my screen or on the Sonic State side? Just curious. Great review. Looks like quite a nice little synth for the cost.

[@st0rmchild]

I'm seeing the same thing. It looks like interlacing to me, but usually that's constant throughout a video. It seems to cut in and out on this one.

[@Blagotebi1]

It is interlaced video after compression for yt. No idea why they did it like this and then didn't deinterlace before finishing.

[@jobananas3052]

Can you fully automate all parameters via midi in ableton?

[@ConenRuam]

Hi Nick, I was wondering if you would be able to quickly sum up the envelopes. I've read they are digital, but have also read that they are quite snappy. Any input would be much appreciated, as i'm looking for something snappier than the Bass Station 2 Cheers

[@WilliamMorrisMusic]

Does anyone know if the USB connection can be used to send MIDI and audio to and from a DAW (Cubase)? Specifically can it be done without using it as your audio interface, just using with your existing interface?

[@st0rmchild]

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.

[@crankygar]

Can I transpose the sequencer using a midi keyboard or the extra Roland Dock keyboard? Help!

[@karlostojcevic8459]

hey nick! really nice review there and an excellent sound. speaking of it, how in the world do you encode your audio for youtube for it to sound this crisp? any "special" tips there? your channel generally sounds the best! thanks in advance

[@tensionvex]

Come on Nick. A guy that loves PWM as much as you should know how to do it on that synth. Set Oscillator 1 or 2 to Saw, and Oscillator 3 to Ramp (you called it "inverse saw"), and dial the amount of PWM with by detuning of the Ramp oscillator. Saw + Ramp = Pulse wave, then detuning gets you the modulation, more detune, faster modulation.

[@jensmandreasen2230]

Saw + ramp = PW, yes, but only as long as the oscillators stay in sync and you only modulate the phase - when they are detuned, they'll eventually and inevitably drift to the point of cancellation, which PWM wouldn't (unless you turn the knob "to eleven")

[@sonicstate]

Sort of , but only limited and fixed depth, I did try it (after reading your comment) and it sounded OK but not quite the real deal.

[@tensionvex]

You're right. It's definitely not as controllable as it would be if it had a dedicated function for it, but it is real though-zero PWM, which is uncommon, and you still have another oscillator to stack with it. It sounds great with a pulse or saw wave paired with it, and it gives you sounds you wouldn't otherwise have. It's a work around for any synth with a Saw and a Ramp and no dedicated PWM control, so it also works on a Minimoog, and its clones.

[@Lukas-wn5cx]

Dropping in to say that SE since made an update that adds proper PWM as a per-patch setting and it sounds rad.

[@bluest1524]

I really like this but I'm concerned about the 1/8" outputs. I think I will wait for the next model.

[@javiceres]

Can you sequence the Delay parameters?

[@СергейПрасько-ь2й]

Hi, it will work in tandem with YAMAHA PSR E 373?

[@pcuimac]

It's no wonder people think analog is "better" than VA, because all these OSC waveforms are nowhere near the mathematical exact ones. You get tons of additional overtones with "square waves" like those square/saw wave hybrids this machine generates! I would have to use a waveshaper to get those waves with a VA modeling synth!

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

pcuimac Yes i know what you mean. I like the waveforms on dreadbox stuff. They have alot of personal character.

[@NickHchaos]

Strictly speaking about oscillators when comparing analog vs digital by such people usually shows a large degree of ignorance as to how signal path functions. The way the cumulative envelopes, filters, VCAs, etc. (even mixers) all function and sound varies widely in the analog domain and is not necessarily easily reproduced in the digital domain. Likewise, you will never get the sound of high quality transformer tubes via analog compressors etc. through any plugin, no matter the processing power.

[@nitendoraku3631]

LOL. The reason the waveforms look like that, is because there is a high-pass filter either in the synth itself or somewhere between the synth and the oscilloscope. It's most likely in the synth to correct for DC offset, which will help minimise unwanted clipping of the signal. The "LOL" isn't because you're not aware of this though, it's just that analog isn't better, just different, and in any case, we're at the point now where good VA should be practically indistinguishable from real analog. That doesn't mean this is always the case. It doesn't help though that people like to compare apples to oranges. Someone will pick some random softsynth, and go out of their way to tell the world how its sound is thin and crap, and junk compared to their Minimoog, and declare digital/virtual analog/VSTs are a waste of time. Every synth is different though, a Korg Minilogue doesn't sound like a Minimoog, nor does it sound like an Oberheim OB-X. Even with VSTs, something like Massive doesn't sound like Repro-1.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Niten Dōraku . Very true there are many elements to an analogue signal path which will overall shape the waveform before it even reaches the VCA. Or sometimes even the VCF/s .

[@st0rmchild]

Good VAs model the imperfections.

[@graviton9282]

I’m sure you know by now but to transpose press tran next to oct +-holding then octave up or down. Then you can turn it on and off to revert back by pressing button again

[@bradleylinemihler]

is this better than the dreadbox erebus? the are both around the same price...i just cant make up my mind

[@cgraysonsmith]

The knob deal: they are fine, I actually use mine a lot. To solve the visual thing: use a sharpie and put a dot of=r a short line where the indicator stripe down the side is. Works great!

[@MurkFM-kl2kn]

Can you compare this to the AS-1?

[@bitspacemusic]

What about the tuning problems mentioned in Sound on Sound? Is that a deal breaker?

[@sonicstate]

[@Subparanon]

[@AspectRatioPolice]

Now I am in a dilema... Behringer Pro-1 or Roland SE02 ?

[@johnadams5489]

I wonder how stable the OSC are for staying in tune. The Behringer Model D drifts quite a bit. Knobs wobble quite a bit.

[@HotStrange]

John Adams Much more stable then the Boog D.

[@seravenerdi]

the knobs look very flimsy when you were touching them. Are the pot necks plastic, and not bolted onto the face panel ?

[@GrahamPhisher]

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.

[@HotStrange]

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.

[@rorschach1]

can you do the PWM trick where you usc osc sync to have a square wave OSC 2 modulate a Pulse wave of OSC 1 or do you encounter the same problem?

[@rorschach1]

Don’t need it anymore since they added an lfo to control pwm now!

[@digitalhillbilly8863]

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.

[@HotStrange]

Graham F McElearney Sonicstate almost always has a demo model sent to them by the manufacturer. Same with most well known reviewers.

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

Sounds great although the modulation compromises and the lack of a proper lfo mode for OSC3 are a little off putting. It would be interesting seeing a tear-down to see what possible mods braver users might be able to experiment with.
