Roland SE-02

The Roland SE-02 is a collaboration between Roland and Studio Electronics, the company that developed innovative synthesizer modules like Omega 8, Boomstar, and Tonestar. The SE-02 is a 3-oscillator analog mono synth module with discrete analog circuitry, delivering massive vintage sounds through three voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled 24dB low-pass filter, and a dual gain-stage amplifier.

To give you expressive hands-on control over the synthesizer, the Roland SE-02 features a control center with high-quality knobs and switches, along with a fully equipped 16-step sequencer.

The SE-02 sounds big and dynamic, with deep lows and clear, lively highs. For instant playability, it comes with 384 pre-programmed presets covering a wide range of classic and modern sounds. When you're ready to program your own sounds, you can tweak to your heart's content and save your individual patches in one of the 128 available user memory slots.

The SE-02 features a fully equipped 16-step sequencer to add dimension and movement to your sound. Patch number, gate time per step, adjustable glide, and tempo are stored with each sequence. The built-in memory is capable of storing 128 sequence patterns and 16 songs, each with up to 16 parts.
