Roland SE-02 Boutique Analog Synthesizer Module

Roland SE-02 Boutique Analog Synthesizer Module Overview

Roland Product Overview

A collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, 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.

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.

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.
