Common Roland SE-02 Questions
How do I sync the SE-02's sequencer to an external MIDI clock, like a DAW?
Set the SE-02's SYSTEM menu 'Sync Mode' to MIDI. Make sure your DAW is sending MIDI clock and set the SE-02 to receive on the correct MIDI channel (also set in the SYSTEM menu).
How do I save my custom sounds and sequences on the SE-02?
Press the WRITE button, select a memory location (preset number or pattern number), and press WRITE again to confirm. You can save patches and sequences separately using the appropriate write menus.
What is the difference between a 'Kit' and a 'Patch' on the SE-02, and how do I use them?
A 'Patch' stores the sound parameters, while a 'Kit' stores a sequence along with the sound (patch) to be used with it. Select and play Kits just like you would load a patch or pattern, using the same buttons.
My SE-02 isn't making any sound even though it's powered on and I'm pressing keys/triggering it via MIDI. What could be wrong?
Check the volume knob (ensure it's not at zero), confirm that the VCO levels are set correctly within the Oscillator section, and verify that the VCA EG INT is set to a positive value.
How do I use the SE-02's Filter feedback and what does it do to the sound?
The filter feedback, controlled by the FILTER FEEDBACK knob, sends the filter output back into the filter input, creating resonance-like effects and aggressive, distorted tones, especially at higher settings.
