Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer Module Boutique Series

Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer

The Roland SE-02 is a compact analog synthesizer developed in collaboration with Studio Electronics as part of the Roland Boutique Designer Series. Featuring authentic discrete analog circuitry, the SE-02 delivers rich vintage-inspired sound combined with modern sequencing, connectivity, and sound design flexibility.

Designed for musicians, producers, and synthesizer enthusiasts, the SE-02 combines classic analog warmth with advanced programming capabilities in a portable desktop format suitable for studio production and live performance.

Authentic Analog Sound Engine

The SE-02 uses true analog circuitry with three voltage-controlled oscillators to create deep basses, expressive leads, powerful sequences, and evolving textures.

• Discrete analog signal path
• Three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs)
• Six oscillator waveform types
• 24 dB low-pass filter
• Dual gain-stage amplifier design

Advanced Sound Design Features

Beyond classic analog synthesis, the SE-02 includes advanced modulation and shaping tools for creating complex modern sounds and experimental textures.

• Three cross modulation (XMOD) modes
• Oscillator sync and feedback loop
• Integrated noise generator
• Tempo-synced LFO with nine waveforms
• Tempo-sync digital delay effect

Hands-On Control Interface

The knob-per-function layout provides direct access to synthesis parameters without deep menu navigation, allowing fast and intuitive sound shaping.

• Dedicated physical controls for major parameters
• Compact Boutique desktop design
• Real-time sound editing workflow
• Professional tactile control layout

Built-In Sequencer

The integrated 16-step sequencer allows creation of melodic patterns, basslines, and evolving rhythmic sequences for live performance and studio production.

• 16-step pattern sequencer
• Pattern and song mode support
• Parameter automation sequencing
• Adjustable glide and gate timing
• Shuffle, scale, and playback direction controls

Preset and Memory Storage

The SE-02 provides extensive onboard memory for storing custom sounds and performance sequences.

• 384 preset patches
• 128 user patch locations
• 128 pattern memories
