Roland SE-02 Studio Electronics Analogue Synthesizer Module

General

Roland have been making great synthesizers for decades and have had plenty of success with their Boutique Designer series, which is known for its compact synths that are packed full of iconic sounds. The SE-02 is a compact analogue synthesizer that is the first product to be released from the new Roland Boutique Designer series and was developed in collaboration with Studio Electronics. This American company has been making analogue synthesizers since the late '80s and together with Roland, they've come up with this extremely impressive analogue synthesizer module.

The SE-02: Analogue all the Way

For ultimate control, each function on the SE-02 has its own dedicated knob or switch that makes it easy to build sounds from the ground up. At the core of this powerful new synth are three temperature-stabilised oscillators with automatic tuning and six waveforms. With the on-board filters, envelopes, LFOs and digital delay, you can further shape your sound. Once you're happy with it, you can save it to one of the 128 user locations. When you don't want to create your own sound, pick one of the 384 built-in presets that are just waiting to be discovered.

Connections

The Roland SE-02 is great on its own but it is also has plenty of connection possibilities. It's great with the separately-available Roland K-25m keyboard, for instance. It can also be easily connected to MIDI controllers and other synths in your current setup. There are audio connectors too so that you can use the SE-02 in the studio or for live performances. In short, if you're looking for a top-quality compact analogue synth, then the SE-02 fits the bill.
