SE-02 Analog SynthesizerVintage sound. Unexpected power.A collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, the SE-02is the debut product ofthe new Roland Boutique DesignerSeries. The SE-02usesauthentic discrete analog circuitry to create a synthesizer with a distinctly vintage sound andvast programming options.With anarray of high-quality knobs and switchesand a uniquely creative onboard sequencer, the SE-02 delivers massive tone and texturewith expressive hands-on control.•Discrete analog circuitrywith knob-per-function interface•Three voltage controlled oscillators with sixwaveforms•Temperature-stabilized oscillators with automatic tuning•24dB low-pass filteranddual gain-stage amplifier•Three types of cross modulation(XMOD),feedback loop,and noisegenerator•Tempo-syncing LFO with ninewaveforms•Tempo-syncing digitaldelay with bypass to maintain analog signal path•Save and recall soundswith384 preset and 128 user locations•Musical and intuitive pattern sequencer with song mode•Sequence notes, gate time, glide, and synth parameters•CV, VCF CV and gate inputs,plus trigger in/out•External Input for routingaudio through the SE-02’sfiltersection•Standard MIDI, USB-MIDI,and USB-Audio•Create a polyphonic synth by using Chain Mode to connecttwo or more SE-02stogether via MIDI•DAW-integrated SE-02 Sound Editor software (coming Fall 2017)Beyond Typical AnalogThe SE-02's monophonic synthesizer engine features three voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled 24dB low-pass filter,and a dual gain-stage amplifier. The oscillators have six different kinds of waveformswith the warmth and complex character associated with true analog VCOs. What’s more,these VCOs are temperature stabilized with automatic tuning, so you get all the benefits and none of the downsides. The SE-02 is big andbold,with thick, richlows and clear, vibranthighs—exactlywhat you think of when you imagine classicvintage synth tone. And while the SE-02 can create astonishingly great vintage sounds, it can do so much more. It hasthree types of cross modulation (XMOD), a ripping filter feedback loop, a tempo-syncing LFO with nine waveforms, envelope sweeping and inverting, oscillator sync, a noise generator,and a tempo-syncing delay.While it’s a compact“go-anywhere” device, the knobs, switches,and buttons are sturdy and plentiful, giving you a vast palette of sound-shaping capabilities at your fingertips. Everything is hands-onand knob-per-function, with deep control and a logical, intuitive layout. To get started, you can choose from 384 expertly programmed preset soundsthat covera wide range of classic and modern tones. Tweak and modify thesesoundsor create something completely new, storing your own custom creations in the 128 available user locations.A More Musical SequencerThe SE-02 includes apowerful 16-step sequencer to add motion and dimension to your sounds.It can sync to external tempo via MIDI, USB,or trigger input, and per-step gate time, adjustable glide, tempo, and patch number are stored with each sequence.Creative performance features allowyou to set shuffle, scale, direction, and first/last stepsonthefly. Even synth parameters can be automated by sequencing changes—justpress a step and move a control. And despite the SE-02s compact size, the sequencer is fun and intuitive, lending itself to both studio and live usage.You can store128 sequence patterns and construct 16 songs, each with up to 16 parts.Modern FlexibilityThe SE-02 is built solidly with a rugged metal top and quality knobs and switches. And despite having a controlfor just about everything,it’s small enough to take just about anywhere.Due to its Roland Boutique format, itfits in our K-25m or DK-01 accessory docks,so you canadd an integrated 25-key mini keyboard or have various tilt options for easy access in a varietyof live andstudio situations.The SE-02 also features convenient 1/8-inch stereo jacks that reduce cable clutter,plus full-sized, standard MIDI jacks for connecting any kind of keyboard you wantor controlling the SE-02 remotely.And as with other Roland Boutique synths, Chain Mode lets you increase the polyphony by connectingtwo or more SE-02 unitstogethervia MIDI. There areCV inputsfor both pitch and filter frequency,as well as trigger in and out,so the SE-02works great with modular setups and other vintage gear. You can route external audio signals through the filter section,and there’s even USB audio and MIDIcapabilities to seamlesslyintegratewith computer-based setups.About Studio ElectronicsStudio Electronicsis a leader in excellence and ingenuity in analogsynthesizer design since 1988.
