In 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 suggestions. POWER SUPPLY CONCERNS Turn off the power to all equipment before making any connections between devices. This will help to prevent malfunction and speaker damage. Be certain to use a separate power outlet for this unit; as sharing one with distortion producing devices (such as motors, variable lighting devices) is unwise.

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. Four envelopes, three LFOs, full MIDI implementation, and a host of original extra features await you.
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.
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. ENV AMNT 3: Sets the depth of the applied envelope to the chosen destination. (See LCD edit page). ENV AMNT 4: Sets the depth of the applied envelope to the chosen destination. (See LCD edit page).
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. MODULATION EDIT PAGE Displays LFOs 1 - 3, their destinations and waveforms.
PROGRAMMER Patch number is shown on red L.E.D. and patch name on L.C.D.. Up arrow selects bank. Left - right arrows, and Q knob select patch. When periods appear, patch selected has been edited. L.C.D. displays all edit pages. Use up, down, left, and right arrows for moving through pages, and Q control knob for editing selected parameter. AUDIO MIX LEVEL EDIT PAGE Displays and adjusts output levels of Oscillators 1,2, and 3, Ring modulator and Noise.
MIDI EDT PAGE #1 This page displays and selects assignments to Mod wheel, After touch, Continuous Controller 1, and Continuous Controller 2.
NAME PROGRAM PAGE Use this page to name your patches. The cursor will default to the first character. Use the Q knob to select the letter or character. Use the left arrow and right arrow to go forwards and backwards. Pressing the up or down arrow makes a blank space. After programming name save patch again to save name. COMMON FUNCTIONS 1. Setting MIDI Channel: Hold shift button and press left arrow twice to get to MIDI page. 2.

Addendum to SE-1 Manual Covering SE1X Update Features Congratulations on your recent purchase of the SE-1X or SE-1X upgrade. 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.
Sounds: (version 0.73) BANK 1: Original Factory Standard Sounds: Bank A BANK 2: Original Factory Standard Sounds: Bank B BANK 3: Lexington G Sounds BANK 4: Allec Series Sounds BANK 5,6: User Sounds BANK 7,8: Random (Some of our best sound effects were created from these scrambled patches!).
Saving in version 0.73 will be the same except that the “SAVE TO” name will not change to the BANK 5 name until either the bank switch or encoder is moved. Saving Patches from RAM to RAM Press “save”, rotate the encoder and/or press the “bank” switches to select desired location. Press save again, to complete the operation. External Audio Input Any sound source can be sent through the SE-1s filter circuits via this audio input.
