SE-3X Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer (Special Edition)
toys that make noise is happy to present a Special Edition of the Studio Electronics SE3X. The same SE3X that hitmakers, film composers, and sound designers have used for decades, with a brand new internal feedback loop option with a new White Panel faceplate.
The SE3X is a three-voice Paraphonic synth with four discrete, classic hardware filters.
VCOs: 3 Voltage Controlled Discrete Analog Oscillators: OSC 1 waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, variable width square; OSC 2 waveforms: sine, sawtooth, variable width square; OSC 3 waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, variable width square. All waveforms output simultaneously. OSC 1 syncs to OSC 2, 3.
VCFs: 4 Voltage Controlled Discrete Analog Filters: SE Classic 24dB Moog®; SE Classic 24dB ARP®; SE Classic Juno/Jupiter 24dB, 12dB, and Mix modes; SE Classic 12dB Oberheim® filter incorporating Low Pass & Band Pass modes. Oberheim filter frequency range has been expanded by a whole tone.
Envelopes: 4 Multiple Stage Envelope Generators: attack, decay, sustain, release with inverting & multiple triggering. Envelope 1 fixed to filter frequency. Envelope 2 fixed to amplifier level. Envelopes 3 & 4 are assignable. ADSR speed increased from standard SE-1X.
LFOs: 3 Low Frequency Oscillators: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, noise, random waveforms. One destination/amount for each LFO with key trigger, phase, clock-divisible MIDI-sync, auto-gate.
Glide: Linear or exponential glide (portamento), auto glide.
Fuzz: Switchable fixed value hardware amplifier overdrive for saturated distortion: 70’s (soft fuzz), 90’s (hard fuzz).
Presets: 4 factory banks, 4 designer banks
Faceplate: Matte White
Additional Features: Noise Generator, Feedback Loop, hardware Ring Modulation. External Audio Input (requires MIDI trigger to open gate).
Modulation Destinations: LFOs 1, 2, 3: VCOs 1, 2, 3 frequency; VCOs 1, 2, 3 mix level; VCOs 1, 2, 3 pulse width; ring mod mix level; noise mix level; VCF resonance; VCF frequency; volume. Envelopes 3, 4: VCOs 1, 2, 3 frequency; VCOs 1, 2, 3 mix level; VCOs 1, 2, 3 pulse width; ring mod mix level; noise mix level; LFO 1, 2, 3 rate, depth, VCF resonance.
