Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer was designed in collaboration with Studio Electronics and is the first instrument in the Boutique Designer Series. Featuring authentic discrete analog circuitry and hands-on controls for nearly every function, the compact SE-02 allows users to produce classic and modern sounds with vast programmability.
The SE-02’s analog synth engine features three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a 24 dB low-pass filter, and a dual gain-stage amplifier. The oscillators have six different waveforms with the warmth and complex character of true analog VCOs. In addition, the oscillators are temperature stabilized with automatic tuning to provide solid operation while performing.
Other features include three types of cross modulation (XMOD), a filter feedback loop, a tempo-syncing LFO with nine waveforms, envelope sweeping and inverting, oscillator sync, a noise generator, and a tempo-syncing delay. The SE-02 comes equipped with 384 preset sounds that cover a wide range of classic and modern tones. With the large selection of panel controls, users can modify presets or create all-new sounds and store them in 128 available user locations.
