Roland have teamed up with Studio Electronics to bring you a fully analogue monophonic synth. The SE-02 uses authentic discrete analog circuitry to create a synthesizer with a distinctly vintage sound and complete programmability. With a large array of quality knobs and switches, and a uniquely creative onboard sequencer, the SE-02 delivers massive tone and texture with expressive hands-on control.

Sound

The SE-02's monophonic synthesizer engine features three voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled 24 dB low-pass filter, and a dual gain stage amplifier. The oscillators are temperature stabilized with automatic tuning to keep your sound true.

The SE-02 is big and bold, with booming lows and clear, vibrant highs. Go far beyond basic analog sound with three types of cross modulation, a filter feedback loop, multiple mode LFO with nine waveforms, envelope sweeping and inverting, oscillator sync, noise, and a digital delay.

To get started, you can choose from 384 expertly programmed preset sounds, covering a wide range of classic and modern tones. Tweak and modify these sounds, or create something completely new, storing your own custom creations in the 128 available user locations.

Sequencer

The SE-02 includes a full-featured 16-step sequencer to add motion and dimension to your sounds. Per-step gate time, adjustable glide, tempo, and patch number are stored with each sequence. Creative performance features allow you to set shuffle, scale, direction, and first/last step. The SE-02 stores 128 sequence patterns, and 16 songs can be constructed, each with up to 16 parts.
Additional Features

The SE-02 is loaded with even more features, such as:

• External input for routing other sound sources through the SE-02’s filter section
• Standard MIDI and USB-MIDI, plus USB-Audio for A/D signal processing
• MIDI sync of LFO, delay, and sequencer timing
• CV inputs for pitch and filter frequency
• Gate input for hardware sequencer connection
• Trigger In/Out
• DAW-integrated SE-02 Sound Editor software (Fall 2017 release)
