What similarities between Roland & S.E. ATCX, SE-1X?

Alright, what I'm looking for here is whether or not the Studio Electronics ATCX or SE-1X can achieve Roland bass, say SH-2 style. The SE stuff has a TB303 filter that is decent. FYI, the ATCX has the Moog, Arp, and SEM also. They both do really good bass. I've heard the the SE-1X has really snappy bass, so it might get a little closer. That might be subjective though.

 

I've never used a Roland SH-whatever at all and was curious if anyone had experiences with them or any opinions.

 

The Omegas are clearly on another planet so I won't even go there.

For me, the least effective part of the ATC-X is the 303 filter. It's ok, but I think the Moog and SEM filters are more faithful. That said, the ATC-X is so good, you can probably get close.

 

I've never played an SH-2 and I don't usually go to Roland for bass sounds. (except the 303 sound, of course)

 

If you can afford SE stuff, you can probably afford an SH-2, no? Or at least an SH-101? Or are you looking for the variety of ATC-X?

Back from the weekend and just say this. I do love the variety of the X, but the Roland Sh have a boinky bonkyness to them that I don't hear from the X. Not really looking to get a SH synth, more so what kind of synth could recreate them closer than my X. I've heard the SE-1X is even better than the ATCX with quicker attack for thumpier basses.

 

Man, SE stuff is so great! :thu:
