II. FUNCTIONS FOR SOUND CREATION

CONTROL

The CONTROL section is where you adjust the GLIDE and MODULATION WHEEL settings for the SE-02.

GLIDE KNOB

Adjusts the timing of the portamento / glide between notes. Counter clockwise is just about imperceptible, and
as you proceed turning the knob to the right the effect of the glide increases.

GLIDE TYPE SWITCH

The type of glide is adjustable between OFF, Exponential, and Linear.
OFF - No glide effect at all
LINEAR - A mathematically correct, or linear curve is used for the glide between notes
EXPONENTIAL - A exaggerated curve which more accurately approximates the human ear is used for the glide.

Experiment:

Press the PLAY button to bring up the internal keyboard and play a few notes.
Select EXPONENTIAL GLIDE, and then rotate the knob clockwise. Listen to the changes between notes.
Switch to LINEAR MODE and repeat the above exploration. Do you notice a difference?
Glide can make things wet, plastic, and fluid, but it is also very emotive with long, slow performances. Spend
some time with glide, and discover how interesting it can be.

MOD WHEEL MIX KNOB

This knob sets what the mod wheel of you r midi controller, or MIDI CC data for Modulation will do to the sound of
the SE-02. The knob mixes between LFO and XM. This means that at counterclockwise the mod wheel will only
engage the LFO. At all clockwise the mod wheel will only engage the cross modulation. At 12 o'clock there will be
a mixture of 50% LFO and 50% XMOD.
Experiment:
1. Connect the SE-02 to a controller keyboard with a Mod Wheel (or establish a connection with a DAW and
select MIDI CC data for sending Mod Wheel controllers to the SE-02.)
2. Choose a patch you like and pay a few notes.
3. Now pend the mod wheel and listen to what's happening.
4. Adjust the MOD WHEEL MIX KNOB and see how the results change.
