Subject: SE-1X Demonstrations

Sent To: analogia@studioelectronics.com
Hello Marc St. Regis,
"...I wanted to say that i really love the demonstrations
(i hear them about twelve times a day :-). I'm a synthesizer
fool, and i've heard many show tunes, but mostly (and often
for good reasons...) they are dance-music or techno-pieces.
Not bad made ones of course (i like the demo "endorphins" of the access virus), but as usual for this music with annoying
harmonical content. Well, your songs are more interesting,
and are showing more of the synths possibilities, which is
- in my eyes - more important. And - they are COOL music.
Perhaps your demonstrations are better for a real analog synth,
i don't want to say that you can't make techno lines with
a minimoog or the omega, but the advantages of analog gear
can perhaps better heard on the demos you do..."
Kind Regards,
Kilian

Hello Technical department,
I'm a very satisfied SE1X user, I'm practically running all
my basslines on this unit.
I'm that kind of guy that like's to keep my equipment in mint
condition. Recently I bought an original Minimoog which has
very scratched knobs, so I was wondering If
I could buy some knobs from you, or maybe you could tell me
where to get them.

"...let me just say that i love my SE-1X! i wouldn't
trade it for anything!
also, it's considerably cheaper feature-for-feature than a
minimoog... the SE-1X
is MIDI only and not expandable. the only expansion is the
external audio input. [Actualy standard on the SE-1X.] the
minimoog voyager also has an x-y-z pad (like a ribbon controller).
but don't think that you are compromising on sound with the
SE-1X. it's a warm, phat, 3-oscillator, analog beast, not
some wannabe 2-oscillator, virtual analog synth... it has
both the oberheim 12db filter and the the 24db moog filter.
it
also has more oscillator options, more lfo & envelope
options. and of course, it has all the patch storage options.
also, it's new with warranty. minimoogs are over 20 years
old. you have to deal with deterioration. you might need to
pay a tech to restore it.
they are also greatly overpriced on the used market..."

Hi Greg,
thanks for calling me back. Unfortunately I missed your call.
Anyway, we opened the synth and found that one connector had
come loose.
So we put it back in and the problem was solved.
It sounds ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the very best synthesizer there is!!!! No competition
at all.
I used to own a MiniMoog, an ARP Odyssey and a Prophet 5.
Sold them all, a long time ago. But the Omega is so much better.........
can't remember when I last had so much fun with a synth.........
Keep up the good work! (And I'm already thinking of buying
another one...

Hey Mark/Greg... Dan & Chris here... we're the ones
that brought in the old SE-1 (B stock, I think) a couple months
ago for a trade/fix, and had Greg fix it for us... Mark, Chris
loved the Omega so much he bought a 2 voice model in an 8
voice chassis, and we're LOVE'N IT!!!
Love to have you add your link to our site. There is a song
up there to listen to, which we used the SE-1 in (the bass).
We finished the song just after we got the SE-1, and before
we got the Omega, so we didn't have a chance to use the Omega
or more of the SE-1 on it... but the bass is rich, full, and
dominates in the music (it could not possibly be missed).
We'll have new songs up VERY SOON, with TON'S of Omega in
them.
(Oh ya baby!)

Hi there extreme magicians of the analogue world beyond,
Somebody wrote in a review in a synth-website:
"Hmmmm - now should I get the Omega 2 case version, which
is sadly lacking
in knobs, or a Omega 2 with a Omega 8 case, which is a bit
more expensive,
but allows future expansion, and you get the full complement
of knobs?
Is that possible to buy? Also for a guy who lives in Denmark?
And how much is it
for that version? I know, I have to pay round about 1500 pounds
for the omega2
at www.turnkey.uk.com.... Last question, gods of the stuff
between all the 0's and 1's: Everybody talkin' about something
with not enough steps, when turning knobs during
recording? Is this true, or has it been fixed?

because I live in the UK I can't find it anywhere. Turnkey,
the only dealer I can find here tells me it will take at least
two months to order it, which is ridiculous. Can you tell
me where I can find online, in San Fran (a friend can post
it from there), or in the UK? Alternatively, can I order it
directly from you or from your online shop (any idea when
it will be operational)? Any info would be appreciated, as

Hey gang,
I just listened to your Omega 8 demo and was very impressed!
It seems to possess much more versatility than either the
ATC-1 or SE-1 while still maintaining your famous thick discrete
analogue sound. :) I have one question however: Did any of
the patches on the demo.mp3 utilize all 8 voices in unison
mode? As a rule, I try to avoid loading up on too many voices
of any one machine no matter how much I like it(I have still
yet to use all 4 SEM's on our 4 voice for instance). It kind
of forces me to mix up my synthesis in any one song. Right
now, the 5 voice version is looking very tempting...

Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 04:20:02
Dear Marc and Greg,
As you may remember, I bought my Omega 8 (#1006) in the fall
of '99, and I've been using it constantly ever since. It has
not been back for any updates since that time (so I have no
multi-timbral capability, arpeggiator, etc). I'm going to
be in Japan for two weeks (chillin' not workin'), and I was
thinking to send the unit back to you for whatever updates
are needed (I know there are some EPROM changes necessary,
as well as the latest OS). Also, do you have the alternate
filters ready (2600 and 303)? I'm considering adding the filters
to a couple of voices, if you think they're worthwhile. Let
me know.
If you want to hear the Omega in action (not that you haven't
already), I did a few cues for John McTiernan's ('Die Hard')
remake of 'Rollerball', due out this summer. There's one cue
with at least twenty tracks of Omega. It's also a big part
of Jonathan Frakes' new movie 'Clockstoppers' (probably not
out until next year); I'm averaging 4 to 5 tracks of the synth
on each cue. I can't believe I worked without this thing.
Another little note - I did a film shoot with my wife (who
also plays keys), and we had a couple of Nord Leads in our
setups (I guess people thought they looked interesting 'cause
they're red). She had never played one (only the Omega and
other real analogs), and she started going through patches:
After fifteen or twenty, she gave me a disgusted look and
said 'What the hell is this?' Didn't like it at all.
Just in case you're getting inquiries as to 'whether there's
really a difference' between your instruments and the virtual
thingys.
Lastly, I had talked to Greg in late '99 about getting my
Prophet 5 racked. I know this is a royal pain for you guys,
and not something you really want to do, but if there is any
way to slip it in into your busy schedules, I'd be most obliged.
I hate to leave the thing lying around doing almost nothing.
Just let me know what it would take....
Thanks again,

Dear folks at Studio Electronics,
you may not remember me, I am the very happy owner of an SE1
I purchased direct from you (circa 1994) and yes, I'm a classical
guitar player from Rome, Italy, who likes to experiment (I
currently record for a german label called Acoustic Music
Records).
I read about the existence of the Omega 8. I remember asking
you (about 7 years ago) about a prototype you had that was
dubbed the SE8 or something... anyway (never went into production).
Could you - slowly please - please quote a direct price for
the Omega (8 or 5 voice)?
Thank you
grazie
ciao

Hi Marc,
I did not find your email on your business card, so I used
the studio electronic contact. As you might remember we (Chris
Adam, Jan-Hinnerk Helms) were the two guys from german based
company Emagic (Logic Audio, SoundDiver etc.). We were VERY
impressed by the demo song you made for the Studio Electronics
instruments, in fact we'd REALLY like to have a copy of it
as MP3, AIFF, SDII or WAV.
Do you think it is possible to send us a copy?

1) Great sound, would like one.
2) Am I right in thinking from the specs, I should be able

Thoroughly enjoying my Omega after 3 weeks with it. There's
a new dimension
of bottom end warmth in the post Omega mixes which is thoroughly
satisfying. Have
to say, I'm using it more for it's bottom end than anything
else at the moment. Can't quite get those wild and whacky

Needless to say I'm always on the hunt for patches that real

Hello,
I just bought an ATC-1 a couple weeks ago. I took a risk and
decided to buy
it instead of a Korg Ms2000 or Waldorf Pulse.
I can't believe i even considered buying a korg or waldorf!
screw that crap.
keyboard mag's review couple years back was helpful.
Your ATC-1 blew my ears away!!! I thought my virus makes good
bass sound, but now the virus is collecting dust. The ATC's
deep sounds and ease of use is incredible. i thought the ATC-1
looked pretty cool. the organization is very clear and clean.
makes sense. i don't have any music background but I had no
trouble building sounds and enjoying it. I like the cartridges,
reminds me of my atari games.
I can't wait to save up my money to buy the rest of the cartridges
and a SE-1. too bad the omega is way out of my budget.
Couple questions:
1. Is there a downloadable version of the ATC-1 manual?
my manual looks to be missing a page. missing patch listing
for 2600. it's always nice to have a backup manual on the
computer.
2. Are their operating system updates for the ATC-1?
3. Is the SE-1 sold with the x upgrade pre-installed? If not,
how hard is it to upgrade? soldering or plug and play?
Thank you very much!
A very happy customer,

Greg and Company,
I've planned several times to send my Omega to you for upgrades,
but it seems
to be insinuating itself into everything I do. I'm working
now on Donny Osmond's new record (with producer Phil Ramone),
and the Omega is a big part of the arrangements I'm doing.
I'll be starting the score for Chris Rock's new movie ('Down
To Earth') next week, and same thing. I just did a demo for
another film with 21 tracks of Omega; in fact, the instrumentation
was guitar, percussion, voice, and Omega - no other synths.
I got some beautiful (and sonically impenetrable) bass and
ostinato sounds running
the Omega thru a Tech 21 SansAmp and a Manley VoxBox.
As you can see, it's hard to let the thing out of my sight.
Maybe sometime in early 2001. Cheers to all of you for caring
enough to make something that can actually be called an instrument.
Much love,

Hi y'all!
Is the Omega finished? We're thinking about getting the 5-

We already have the ATC-1 which we love, and also a JP-6 which
is really cool, but we were thinking of getting rid of those
and replacing them with the Omega. I'd like to try one out
but I'm not sure if dealers here in Sweden will bring one
home for trial. Would you say the Omega sounds similar to
the ATC? Then everything is cool.
How about a demo CD with some nice electronic music made with

It was great to see you, Marc, Tim, and Cassie at the L.A.

glory. I think the wait for them has been well worth it, and
I'm happy to inform you that we've chosen both synths in our
Top 25 highlights of the show.
While we didn't pick up any info from you there, I do have
the details you provided on them for the July '99 New Gear
column -- including their prices: $4,995 for the Omega 8 and
$1,995 for the Omega 2. Are these prices still correct? Is
there any new information that we didn't have then? Also,
although you provided an image of the Omega 8 last summer,
do you have a new image of the product that you'd rather appear
in the magazine? If so, could you email it to me by Tuesday,
February 15?
Thanks for your help, Greg. I look forward to hearing back

A follow-up to the previous missive.
I scrolled past the RANDOM waveform in the LFOs and found
the S/H waves; very nice. I've made a patch with s/h filter
and it's been 'running' for about 45 minutes; it's just gorgeous.
This instrument is really taking me back to the days of my
first Minimoog, when I used to sit and make ambiences for
hours (while my friends would puff away - not tobacco).
I had forgotten how physical and visceral those instruments
were; the Omega really carries on that tradition.

Dear Greg and Co,
Thanks for your email, and thanks for the Omega.
It sounds great. Really completely different than any of the
virtuals, which is refreshing. There's a density and solidity
to the sound that I haven't heard since I sold my Minis in
1981. It seems to be more solid-sounding than the Prophet-5,
although there are many similarities. My wife was floored
by the sound; she's a big fan of 70's soul and R&B, and
she recognized the sound immediately as something different
than all the other boxes I've got lying around. I love the
way you've implemented the operating system. I could get around
and edit on it immediately; it has the physicality of a one-knob-per-function
analog like a Mini or P5, but obviously a lot more depth.
The mod matrix took just a second to get used too (I'm accustomed
to looking for the mod sources in the destination pages, rather
than the source pages), but I can see the logic of your choice,
and have no trouble now doing what I need to do. There a few
places where I thought you might want to include negative
mod values, but I haven't found a situation where I couldn't
work around it. Making CC assignments for each knob is great
- I'm sure I'll be using that a lot.
It's wonderful having different filter types. Literature for
the Omegas states that it comes with 2 filters, but it feels
like five different options (and it is). As I never owned
an Oberheim, it's liberating to have that range of colors
available, and makes the instrument quite a bit more versatile
than my previous perception of analog. The upgrades you have
planned all look great. A question - can these both be done
via downloaded operating system, or will the unit need to
go back to you for the voice card mods? The extra modulation
routings will be very helpful, especially the ability to route
Breath Controller (CC#2) to the destination list. Adding another
page of routings will be most welcome; it's easy to think
up more than 2 for expressive patches. Will cont1 and cont2
have six destinations as well? This would be most helpful.
Multi-timbral operation will take this thing to another world.
It's hard to believe that it will be able to do most of what
you could do with 8 Minis (in stereo, no less), but that's
what it comes down to. By the way, how will audio routing
be handled in multi-timbral mode? Specifically, could some
voices be routed to individual outs while the rest share the
stereo mains, without the individually-routed voices showing
up in the stereo mix? This would be the most flexible, although
I realize the most difficult, implementation. It would save
having to devote 16 inputs to the Omega to separate, say,
a bass sound while the rest of the voices play a pad. I quickly
patched a sound through one of the external inputs, and they
seem to work fine - that's another amazing resource. “I
haven't noticed any bugs other than the ones noted in the
V1 manual. I haven't had the unit crash on me, but I've been
careful about playing and editing. By the way, the tuning
seems extremely stable - I tuned it the day I got it (Dec
31), and haven't tuned it since. A very good sign. I like
the way you've implemented the tuning as well, with variable
out-of-tuneness. A nice touch…” Controller tracking
seems to be smooth - kudos.
This is truly analog for the current era. This instrument
does (or soon will do) all that I would expect a sophisticated
digital instrument (like a K2500) to do, but sounds like the
synths of my teens. I'm really, really impressed; so much
so that I don't think of the Omega as a 'vintage' instrument.
It's something else entirely.
Now, Greg, about the P5 mod for my Prophet...
All the best,

I'm inquiring about what one would cost direct. Will Alexander
(Keith Emerson's Tech) showed me Keith's as well as let me
hear it........Amazing!!!! I'm in Illinois…
Get back to me when you can.

i was wondering if there was any editing software availiable
for the atc. i recently purchased one, and wow it really is
amazing. also, do you do endorsements because my band will
be releasing our new album in late jan. i have recently started
to look for gear sponsorship and… well to be honest
your stuff blew me away.
