Damn, that 127-step cutoff is really starting to irk me, again in this video. Such a shame, would have otherwise been a perfect replacement for my moog lp.

mmm they didnāt seem too impressed did they?
I think we can say safely say it is very small now, without people becoming defensive. Even smaller than euro they say.
Whereās those tweezers haha
I still think the knobs are fine, but Iāve stopped caring enough to defend them anymore. Iām most eager for this one to arrive right now; oddly, more eager for this than the Jomox Alpha Base I have arriving next month too.

Maybe? Could also be English not being their primary language? I see some awesome stuff, some good stuff and some meh stuff in all of these videos. In any case, Iām not discouraged and still very much excited for it. It wonāt be āOMG THIS IZ TEH BEST THING EVARR!!ā nor will it be worst. I think itāll remain really solid for the money and a very welcomed addition, but for everyone elseā¦ YMMV. Knobs arenāt an issue to me at all, my hands are normal size, but Iāll just map them to a controller if it present any issues.
Iāve never owned anything (physical anyway) Moog and miss the sound of my ATC-X, so if this delivers any of that (and I see no indication it wonāt) Iāll be a happy guy. Certainly wonāt be the last synth I buy! 
Same here. I have big (but not clumsy!) hands and no problem with tweaking any of the boutiques - even the tr-09, personally I like small form factor gear as my room is only 2.8m x 2m so it means I can fit a reasonable amount of gear in. Besides, as most parameters can be controlled by midi I donāt really see the problem.

I feel like a lot of perspective is lost on how futuristic and unreal some of this new gear is.

In the EU its > 600ā¬ tho
the size isnāt that much of a factor I donāt think : like Daren says about the TR-09 - lots of people bitching about that but itās one of my favourite pieces of gear atm : used it out live on Saturday night - dark stage / dry ice / flashing lights etc - no problem at all. And it smashed the place up like no other drum machine - other than an OG 909 obviously - can. Brilliant little machine - fits in my backpack, can run off batts if required or, like on Saturday, just powered ( & thereby syncād too ) from the USB on my Macbook - less wall-warts to think about, great stuff.
Iām not interested in the SE-02 ( I have my Moog bases covered ) but I think Roland are doing well with this form factor.
Iāve been tempted to pull the trigger on a TB-03ā¦but if this Boutique SH-101 is real then that might be too tempting : I have an original SH-101, but for live use Iād rather have something with no keyboard & a sequencer that held more than one sequence in memory woudl be amazing.

Boutique sh-101??
Edit: nm I see it now
Itās OK to think the knobs are too small on this thing, itās OK to think its a wonderful deal. Itās OK to like it and want one, or to not like it and not want one, for whatever reasonsā¦
There does not need to be a consensus on for example whether the knobs are to small or not, for some they are, and for some they are notā¦
Itās all OKā¦
Carry onā¦

We live in strange times, when I can get a new Analog Four for almost the same price as the SE-02. The A4 prices have dropped insanely over here.

Interesting! Hopefully this means Sweetwater has their initial allocation soon too. I was hoping Roland didnāt jump the gun saying it would ship āthis monthā (July) on Instagram previously. Update when you get a shipping notice.
I called GC, and was told they wonāt be in stock until the 17th. The customer service rep told me that stores have received floor models; which helps explain why their site says theyāre in stock.

I do like the base sound of this thing, healthyā¦ cranking reso seems to eat quite alot of low end, but this was a 4pole LPF?
I have a feeling I too will end up getting oneā¦ eventually. Not feeling the higher eu price tho. Running this into the A4 as an ext osc would be glorious!
