New Roland Boutique SE-02 Analog Synthesizer - Designed by Studio Electronics

Published on Jun 20, 2017 RolandChannel

I believe discussions on the joint project began two years ago back at NAMM 2015. While there, I ran into Studio Electronics at the Moog booth who asked me to please keep it under wraps for obvious reason. Yes I can keep a secret. It's great to see this collaboration come to life. Congrats to both Studio Electronics and Roland!

Update: price is apparently only $499.

"The Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer is a collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, that uses authentic discrete circuitry to create an analog synth with a distinctly American sound.

The Roland SE-02 synthesizer has all of the warm, rounded bass tones and smooth, glassy leads that you would expect from its all-analog architecture.

But a new generation of synthesists, producers and musicians requires a new sound, and the Roland SE-02 goes far beyond into inspiring sonic territories.

Explore the power of its performance sequencer, over 500 expertly-crafted preset patches, its complex oscillator and filter modulations with XMOD and FEEDBACK, and in-built delay. Discover thick textures, percussive patches and ethereal effects for a whole new dimension to a classic sound.

The Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer is the first product in the new Roland Boutique Designer Series. This series, debuting in a partnership with Studio Electronics, a leader in excellence and ingenuity in analog synthesizer design since 1988. Makers of the revered MidiMini, SE-1, ATC-1, Omega 8, CODE 8, Boomstar, and Tonestar. Premium quality musical instruments hand built in the USA."

STUDIO ELECTRONICS MIDI MOOG

SN 1164 via this auction

"STUDIO ELECTRONICS MIDI MOOG. MADE BY MOOG AND MODIFIED BY STUDIO ELECTRONICS... 3 OF THE BOARDS ARE ORIGINAL MOOG BOARDS AND 1 OF THE BOARDS, WHICH IS PICTURED BUT NOT THAT CLEAR, HAD MINI MOOG STUDIO ELECTRONICS ON IT.

YOU CAN ALSO FLIP VOLTAGE ON THE SIDE FROM 115 TO 230 VOLTS.

I DID DO A SEARCH ABOUT THE MIDI MOOG AND IT CAME UP WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT FACTS ABOUT IT LIKE THERE WERE ONLY 500 EVER MADE.....NOT SURE ABOUT THAT, AND THAT THERE WERE ONLY SO MANY MADE WITH THE ORIGINAL MOOG BOARDS UNTIL THEY RUN OUT AND SO STUDIO ELECTRONICS STARTED MAKING THEIR OWN BOARDS WHICH DIDN'T SOUND AS GOOD.....WHO KNOWS."

Studio Electronics 4075 3003 Boomstars Featuring Drew Neumann

Published on Feb 1, 2013 StudioElectronics·3 videos

"As stated in worthy elsewheres: 'A 4 hour tour of Boomstar 4075 and 3003 sounds from top to bottom, tracked in DP7.24. No EQ, compression, or plugins, other than a gate sequencer on a freeform "NAMM iphone" recording/track to tempo match it, and one or two delays on certain lead tracks. No mixing, no mess--just a faders up affair with a few soundbite fades: all pillows removed. Component/construction kit tracks will be uploaded to SoundCloud as well.

In the composer's own words: "This is done ONLY with the 2 Boomstars--all noises, drum tracks, everything is the 4075 and 3003, overdubbed like crazy in Digital Performer. Most tracks are dry and raw, just delays on a few channels. There is just a final mastering limiter bounce on the mix file, that's it.'

Matching sounds on both synths was a snap... pretty key.
4075: Hi-Hats, kicks, resonance saturated kicks and kick loops.
3003: Lead sound doubles, hard bass line doubles, snare, "Ringo" tom fills."

Studio Electronics Oberheim SEM "Obie Rack"

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
Some interesting history via the listing: "If you are looking at this item you no doubt know what it is and what it is capable of. You will also be aware that they are very rare and don’t often come up for sale.

The Studio Electronics “Obie-Rack” is effectively two Oberheim SEM modules in a rack but with a list of very useable modifications, which make it an incredible performer. This unit uses the “ORIGINAL” Oberheim cards (NOT REPRODUCTIONS). Each module has 2 VCO’s, 2 Envelope Generators and a single VCF section.

It has extensive MIDI performance modifications, which include Dynamics (VCA / VCF) Modulation (VCO / VCF) Aftertouch (VCO / VCF). As well on the front panel you have access to three “switchable” octave ranges HLM, Multi-Trigger, Midi Channel assignment, Pitch Bend, DVCF, LFO, Glide and Master Volume. Located in the center bottom of the front panel is a switch to choose between Midi Poly 1, Poly 2 or Mono. This switch allows you to play two notes at the same time and depending on how you have the VCO’s set four separate notes can be had. On the rear of the unit you have Midi In, Out and Thru, an IEC rated three prong power connector, an On / Off Switch and two unbalanced audio outs (Module L & Module R (Mono)

This unit has had only one owner, myself and is “virtually” new. Since purchase it has been stored in its fully enclosed shock-mounted transport rack case (case not included). Cosmetically the front panel face is excellent, there is only minor rack rash. As for the rest of the unit there is a minor abrasion here or there but nothing abnormal considering its age. It was stored in a smoke free and climate-controlled environment.

This unit was bought new in October of 1990 directly from Greg St Regis of Studio Electronics and shipped to Europe (where I lived at that time) with the idea of hopefully attempting to market the product there. There was great interest in it but it was hard to compete in Europe with Roland, Korg and Yamaha and what they were selling at that time. Needless to say the lack of voices was an insurmountable hurdle sale’s wise.

New Studio Electronics MIDIMini V30

Studio Electronics Midimini V30 Demo With Patches [No Talking] Published on Dec 24, 2019 VCO USA

Note this post has been updated a few times. Original post below.

"A collection of 10 patches w/ Preset Templates for the Minimini V30. Time stamps below for the specific patch and the patch sheets appear at the last 10 seconds of each clip.

0:03 - The Impossible Drum 'Kit'
1:48 - Aggro Bass
2:35 - FM Sync Lead
3:48 - Screamin' Triangles
5:11 - Filter FM Shark Bass
6:26 - 4th Wobble Bass
7:58 - Bigger Than Yours Bass
9:00 - Classic Sync
9:51 - Pluck You (Arp)
10:57 - Dreamy Drone Chord

You can download the patch sheets here"



"30 years later and here we are... glorious sound makes that possible. All honor and praise to the geniuses at R. A. Moog Co, especially Bill Hemsath, and Mr. Moog himself, a person with whom I (MSR) shared a lunch space at NAMM in the 1990s—it's something folks.

Some internal patching on "Registered Pulses", "Voo R U", and "1st Midimini V30", not that I can remember what went where. No FX however, (with the exception of a wet channel on Rach of Ages 2), no compression, limiting, only a touch of some spot normalizing on several tracks. Essentially raw and un-pestered, synth and factory direct honesty—still such a lonely word.

Oh yes, and I created a few stereo tracks from multiple takes; who could resist? I'm sure you can spot them.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas,
Marc St Regis 12/24/19"

MIDIMINI V30 - $2999

"Many can recall dialing up Midim-g/Midimini patches that fit a song so perfectly that they inspired even greater creativity; shapely, sometimes sinuous sounds whose essense called out to you; emotive sounds you never wanted to change; sounds you lovingly tracked, notated and revered; sounds as vital as the lyrics or lead vocal—that solid, insistent, articulate bounce, bravado, and twangy bang. Was there another sensible, MIDI-driven rackmount choice for immaculate synth-bass and lead lines?

November 2019 brings the SE Midimini V30 to the table, and nothing has been lost in the translation of this end-of-decade Analog essential. A raft of brand-new hardware features, extensive software sweetening, and modular connections open the window even wider to an already stunning Analog view.

It's highlight time again:

Through-hole build: Every. Single. PC board.
Classic 4-pole, 24 db/oct, voltage-controlled Lowpass Ladder Filter, with voltage-controlled Cutoff.
Semi-Modular Mini: Standard issue CV & Gate, and # OutsToOuts-friendly patchability of voltage, amplifier, and key tonal mastering tap points (1/8" Eurorack Connections).
Classic Midimini Cross Mod and Boomstar-perfected Ring Mod.
Amp Drive: Boomstar Modular AMP saturation and overdrive imported into 'V30 world.
Output Feedback loop and gain control—the old Low Output to External Input hack—hardwired and fine-tuned—interacts expressivley with Amp Drive.
MIDI-syncable, AFM*-capable, multi-waveform LFO, routable to VCF and VCO.
LFO Out patch point for deep modulation or oscillation creation.
LFO Gate (LFO pulse of VCF/VCA) from the SE-02.
OSC 1 Triangle Wave to amplifier (bypasses VCF) for high Resonance setting/low frequency compensation.
Sweepable OSC Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1 Sync.
Handy Boomstar Drone feature.
Envelope 2 Master Mode: ENV2 (VCA) assumes control of Filter (VCF) Envelope.
Expressive Linear and Exponential Glide.
Front Panel-mounted External Audio input with level control.
Independent Release control of Filter and Amplifier.
Boomstar MIDI Learn feature for MIDI, Aftertouch and Modwheel.
Low/Last/High Note Priority, Env 1 inverting, VCF/VCA dynamics, and VCF Envelope Multi-trigger."

The MIDIMini as you all likely know is Studio Electronics rackmount Minimoog. They originally converted vintage Minimoogs to the MIDIMoog and then followed with their own designed MIDIMini. You can find pics of a MIDIMoog here and an original MIDIMini here.

"Note this is from the last Studio Electronics production batch and has factory-fitted metal-shafts and Davies knobs!"

"This revolutionary all-analog synthesizer module combines two very cool multimode oscillators, sweet modulation options, and a killer amp/mixer section with a real Oberheim SEM-style multimode filter, allowing you to create a universe of creative and compelling tones. A full set of highly tweakable knobs make accessing the wide range of sound the Boomstar SEM has to offer easy. What's more, extremely intelligent CV and MIDI implementation make it easy to add a Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module to your keyboard or studio rig."

"Boldly following in the footsteps of pioneers such as Moog and ARP, the Oberheim's SEM was one of the first synthesizer modules to feature a multimode filter that allowed artists to choose from highpass, lowpass, notch, and bandpass filters. What's more, this multimode filter could produce wildly varying tonal characteristics, making it easy to get a wide range of sound from an otherwise simple synth. The Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module gives you the same versatile filter to play with on top of an already sophisticated synth, allowing you to experience this amazing sound in a whole new way."

via this auction

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A custom Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 modified into a rack with MIDI by Studio Electronics, the P-Five. Before they made their own synths, they modified classics like the Minimoog into the Midimini, the Oberheim OB-8 into the OBie-Eight, and the Prophet-5 into the P-Five. The P-Five appears to be the rarest of the three followed by the OBie-Eight, followed by the Midimini - at least as far as they come up for sale.
