It&#8217;s a nice little (TINY!!) fully analog synth with 3 oscillators somewhat copying the Minimoog Model D. This one adds a bunch of cool features like a separate LFO and a lot of cross modulation so you can create a lot of cool sound effect type sounds. It also allows you to do pulse width modulation but only at a very fast or audio rate. <\/p>\n<p>It also has a bunch of patch memories, however the first 3 banks are all read only patches that are all set to single trigger. I can&#8217;t imagine anyone ever having a use for that setting so those sounds are completely useless! It would be nice if there companies with read only presets offered us a way to change those sounds with a librarian. I know DSI can change theirs with an OS install so there must be a way!<\/p>\n<p>It also has a nice sequencer if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing and many of the pre-programmed sequences are quite funky. <\/p>\n<p>It sounds very nice but I don&#8217;t think it actually sounds like a Moog. It&#8217;s a bit softer than that, doesn&#8217;t have the punch and the low end of a Model D or a Voyager but it&#8217;s still very nice. The controls are extremely small and feel very loose almost like they are going to easily break but so far I haven&#8217;t had any problems. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be using this synth more and more. <\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/scotteh\/38081478806\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Roland SE-02 and DSI Rev 2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4503\/38081478806_06c37ed885_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"Roland SE-02 and DSI Rev 2\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well the new synth for September (or it might have been august) was the Roland Boutique SE-02.
