Description

Edit description

The Studio Electronics Midimini is a sonic powerhouse that brings the legendary sound of classic analog synthesizers into the modern era. Its three robust oscillators and a rich four-pole lowpass filter make it an ideal choice for crafting deep, resonant basses and expressive leads. This rackmount synth is perfect for musicians who prefer versatility without the bulk of a keybed, offering a streamlined approach to sound design.

Built with professional-grade components, the Midimini is designed to last. The rugged through-hole construction and metal-shafted pots ensure durability, while the 14 patch points open up a world of possibilities for those interested in modular synthesis. Whether you're a seasoned producer or an adventurous sonic explorer, the Midimini's semi-modular capabilities will inspire endless creativity.

One of the standout features of the Midimini is the Boomstar Drone, which allows for infinite sustain, giving your soundscapes a unique depth. With the option to switch between linear and exponential glide time, and the ability to perform frequency modulation via the multi-waveform LFO, this synth is a dream for those who love to experiment. The front-panel output also provides seamless integration with other audio gear, making it an indispensable tool for any studio setup.

Three analog oscillators
Four-pole lowpass filter
14 patch points for modular integration
Boomstar Drone for infinite sustain
Switchable linear/exponential glide
Multi-waveform LFO with frequency modulation

This MIDI Mini Studio Electronics is owned by Junkie XL

Serial: 1786 A fair amount of scratches on the top of the enclosure but nothing that effects functionality. Overall this unit is in great shape!

"The M1R gets used for its Bottle Bell patch, but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed by Studio Electronics' MIDIMini analogue synth, as the tuning drifts quite badly. However, I also have their SE1 analogue synth which is great for bass. Surprisingly, the little Peavey Spectrum Bass also has some great bass sounds that I use — patches three and four. My Vintage Keys is only used occasionally, mainly for the Wurlitzer piano, while the Korg X3 is left set to patch 10, a kind of Rhodes sound. The JV1080 also has a lovely electric piano sound on it, but I'm a bit disappointed with the Technics WSA1R as it doesn't have many really usable sounds. I've just bough a Yamaha CS2X for a bit of fun, for sequencing and so on, and the Trinity I still like."

At 0:51 in this late 2025 video for Arturia, you can clearly see Kawai's SE Midimini rack in the background. According to Kenji's own website, he has two of these units. This site also confirms that these are indeed Midiminis and not the earlier MidiMoog units SE shipped.
