Panel Descriptions
The SE-02 is a fully-analog three-VCO synthesizer module.
In spite of its compact body, it’s a full-fledged analog synthesizer that lets you experience the enjoyment of
designing your own sounds.

C Micro USB (O) port
Use a commercially available USB 2.0 cable (A-microB) to connect
this port to your computer.
You must install the USB driver when connecting the SE-02 to your computer. Download the USB driver from
the Roland website. For details, refer to Readme.htm which is included in the download.

OUT
Outputs a trigger signal at the playback timing of each step of the step sequencer.
IN
If this is connected to a rhythm machine etc. that’s equipped with a trigger out jack, and the Sync
setting (setup parameter) of the step sequencer/song mode is set to “trg,” trigger signals from
the external device will advance the steps of the SE-02’s step sequencer.
&Refer to “Setup parameter settings (SETUP).”
F INPUT jacks *1
CV
Inputs a pitch from an external device. This jack supports OCT/V (Hz/V is not supported).
GATE
Inputs note-on/off from an external device.
VCF CV
Controls the filter cutoff frequency from an external device.
*1
Use a mini-plug (mono) cable to make these connections. The connections won't work correctly if a
stereo mini-plug cable is used.
Adjusts the volume of noise (white noise).
These settings determine the brightness and thickness of the sound. Here you can also specify the timevarying change (filter envelope) for the filter and the time-varying change (amp envelope) for the volume.
Controller
Explanation
Adjusts the filter cutoff frequency.
[EMPHASIS] knob
Boosts the region near the filter cutoff frequency. Higher values produce greater
boost, creating a distinctively “synthesizer-like” character.
1. Make the [COMP] button and [PLAY] button go dark.
Specify how the filter cutoff frequency changes in response to the pitch that is
played on the keyboard.
3. Use the [
This is an audio input jack. You can use this to apply filter or delay to the audio from a connected device.

J [VOLUME] knob
Turning On/Off the Power
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down,
you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
Turn on the power in the order of the SE-02 first, and then the connected equipment.
When powering down Turn off the connected equipment first, and then the SE-02.
[MTRIG] switch
If this is on, the filter envelope restarts each time you press a key.
[NORM/INVERT]
switch
Specifies the polarity of the envelope that is controlled by the [CONTOUR] knob. If
this is set to “INVERT,” the polarity is inverted.

after the attack time and decay time have
elapsed until the key is released.
Controller
Explanation
AMP ENVELOPE
[GLIDE] knob
Adjusts the time of the glide effect (which creates a smooth transition between two
pitches. As you turn the knob toward the right, the transition to the next note takes
a longer time.
Selects the curve of the glide effect.
[WHL MIX] knob
Controller
Explanation
[RANGE] knob
Switches the pitch of each oscillator (OSC 1–3) in octave units. Choose from five
octaves in the range 2’–32’.
If this is set to “LO,” the oscillator generates an ultra-low pitch. You can use this to
apply modulation or for some other purpose.
[TUNE] knob
This is the master tune setting that is common to OSC 1–3.
[FINE] knob
This knob is provided for OSC 2 and 3. It adjusts the tuning of those oscillators as a
difference relative to OSC 1.
You can make the sound richer by slightly detuning the pitch of oscillators, or you
can create a chord by detuning oscillators to a specific musical interval.
Selects the waveform of each oscillator. The selected waveform determines the tonal
character of each oscillator.
[WAVEFORM] knob
: triangle wave, : a waveform that combines triangle and sawtooth waves (OSC
1 and 2 only), : reverse sawtooth wave (OSC 3 only), : sawtooth wave, : pulse
wave 1 (square wave), : pulse wave 2 (square wave with wider pulse width), :
pulse wave 3 (square wave with narrower pulse width)
[SYNC] switch
Turns oscillator sync on/off.
If oscillator sync is on, OSC 2 is forcibly returned to the beginning of its cycle in
synchronization with the cycle of OSC 1, generating a complex waveform.
[ENV1] knob
Uses the filter envelope to apply modulation to OSC 2. Turning the knob in the
negative direction inverts the polarity of the envelope.
[KYBD] switch
Specifies whether OSC 3 is controlled by the keyboard. If this is off, control from the
keyboard is disconnected, and OSC 3 operates as an independent oscillator.
Lets OSC 2 modulate the filter cutoff frequency.
[O3-O2] knob
Lets OSC 3 modulate the OSC 2 waveform.
[O3-PW1,2] knob
Comparing Patches (COMP)
Here’s how to compare the currently-edited patch with a saved patch.
* This function can not be used in manual mode.
1. Press the [COMP] button.
Each time you press the button, you switch between the saved patch (button lit) and the
currently-edited patch (button unlit).
If there are any differences between the currently-edited patch and the saved patch, a dot
appears in the display, and the entire content shown in the display blinks.
You can use the [5]–[16] buttons as a one-octave keyboard to play the sound.
Specifies the time (decay time) from when the volume reaches the maximum level
until it decreases to the sustain level.
[SUSTAIN] knob
Specifies the volume (sustain level) that is held after the attack time and decay time
have elapsed until the key is released.
2. Press the [5]–[16] buttons to play.
Gate LED
Lit while a note is sounding.
[REL] switch
Specifies whether the setting of the amp envelope [DECAY] knob is applied to the
release time (the time from when the key is released until the volume decays to
zero).
