Studio Electronics SE-1 analog synth complete review part 1/2 (ENG sub)

Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FKFmE-_K58

Recensione completa ed accurata del sintetizzatore Studio Electronics SE-1. La Studio Electronics è un'azienda che si occupava di fare versioni custom a rack ed implementate MIDI dei vecchi Minimoog e Prophet 5, questo synth è molto utilizzato nell'hip hop per le sue sonorità calde leggermente più morbide di quelle Moog. E' usato da Scott Storch e Dr Dre.

That's really interesting, thanks for the good infos :)

Top sounding is right, as long as you don't tweak the cutoff too much in real time. And fortunately, all the internal modulations sources (LFOs, envelopes) have much more than 128 steps resolution. A great sounding box, for a fraction of the cost of a Voyager, you're right about that.

@DanielSilvestriProd

Sorry, not the Alesis Andromeda nor the Moog Voyager. These two synths use NRPN MIDI messages, instead of CC messages, and have a resolution of 16384 steps instead of only 128. The problem is not MIDI. The problem is lazy companies that don't want to use the higher resolution system of two bytes NRPN messages.

@xtal202

Yeah, but even with CC messages you'll still have only 128 steps for each knob, compared to 16384 steps on a Moog Voyager...

hi!

I know that the stepping knobs are a known issue about the SE-1 (if you control the synth with a cc controller you've got no stepping).

If you upgrade the OS with the X OS you 'll have no stepping anymore on the front panel knobs.

Another interesting thing is that the SE1X (or SE1 with the new OS and the mod from Studio Electronics) can send CC over the front panel knobs and buttons, that' s a good thing.

@DanielSilvestriProd:

Do you have a schematic diagram? Without seeing that, it's hard to tell if it's possible to make a simple DIY customization. If it's possible, then you'd need a smoothing filter or (even better) a slew rate limiter on the control voltage. For a simple RC filter you need only a capacitor. Slew rate limiter curcits are a bit more sophisticated, but wouln't cost too much either (a few op-amps, resistors, etc.)

If you have a schematic diagram, I can tell you more.

@sc00f

This is really interesting, thank u for sharing your knowledge with me and the community, I've learnt something new today :)

do you think it would be possible to solve this problem with a customization or it would be too expensive? How much would it cost?
