  • Page 3 I n addition to the aforementioned "Safety Instructions" printed on the inside front cover, we the good folks at S. E. ask that you please read and adhere to the following sugges- tions. POWER SUPPLY CONCERNS Turn off the power to all equipment before making any connections between devices. This will help to pre- vent malfunction and speaker damage.

  • Page 5: Important Notes Ii

    Welcome to the world of discrete, programmable Analog synthesis, and the amazing sounds it produces. The SE –1 is inspired by the classic circuitry of the Minimoog Filter, Oscillators, and VCA. We've also incorporated “our take” on the “boxy”, buzzy, and bright 12-dB filter of the Oberheim S.E.M., for greater tonal expression.

  • Page 6: Filter

    FILTER FILTER FILTER FILTER FREQUENCY: This adjusts the cutoff frequency of the 12db and 24db filters. It is rather like a tone control. As you rotate the knob clockwise, the higher the frequencies are which pass through the filter; thus, the brighter the sound. RESONANCE: Adjusts the amount of filter resonance, which emphasizes the cutoff frequency region and makes the presence of harmonics more apparent.

  • Page 7: (Envelopes) Vca

    The ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE (ADSR) controls for the VCA shape the amplifier output in the same manner as the corresponding controls do to the filter. ENV AMNT 1: Sets the depth of the applied envelope to VCF cutoff frequency and resonance.

  • Page 8: Mod

    RATE: Adjusts the speed of LFOs 1 - 3. Each LFO can be set at a different rate. LFO 2: When this switch is lit, RATE and DEPTH controls affect LFO 2 LFO 3: When this switch is lit, RATE and DEPTH controls affect LFO 3. DEPTH: Adjusts the amount of the selected LFO.

  • Page 16 This addendum will cover the additional features now available, and those soon to be implemented. In an effort not to disappoint, and in true Studio Electronics fashion, both the “spartan” SE-1 manual and this “joint” are purposefully telegrammatic.
