USB INTERFACE

In the past many synthesizers came equipped with various interfaces. Connection methods like CV and Gate, Din
Sync, S Trig, DCB, Tape I/O allowed synthesizers to connect to clocks, tape machines, sequencers and drum
tracks. Thanks to the universal serial bus with which most personal computers are equipped today we have a
number of interesting ways to handle these once complicated and tedious operations.
The USB connection port can be used to:
• Pass midi as well as audio data to and from a computer based DAW
• Mount the Synthesizer to the desktop of a computer and backup and/or restore and share your patches.
• Mount the Synthesizer to the desktop for software updates.
NOTE: The SE-02 works differently from the other Roland Boutique modules. The USB Port will not power the
synthesizer, nor are there batteries for autonomous power. The Roland PSB 1U power supply must be used in
order to power the SE-02.
DATA BACKUP & R E S T O R E
One of the coolest things about the boutique line of modules is their ability to mount onto the desktop of any
USB enabled computer and you can drag and drop your patches in order to save them.

Backup Patches from SE-02

2. Lights will dance, this means the SE-02 is awaiting connection to the computer.
3. Connect the USB cable to the computer and a drive icon named SE-02 will appear on the desktop. It
takes a moment, so relax and trust that all is well.
4. Copy the backup files from the SE-02 drive into an appropriately named folder on your computer
5. Once you're done, eject the SE-02 drive from the computer,
6. Note that all buttons in the common section are blinking green.

Restore patches into the SE-02:

2. Copy the backup files, or the new patches you'd like to check out into the appropriate "PATCH",
"PATTERN" or "SONG" folder on the SE-02drive. Note only USER BANK can only be written.

Restore the SE-02 to factory settings:

This is the procedure for resetting your SE-02 back to it's factory state. Remember that if you do this, all your
settings and all your sounds will be overwritten with the out of the box, factory fresh programming.
1. While holding down the [1] button, turn on the power.
2. The display should read "rSt". If it doesn't try that again. If you change your mind and decide not to go
through with the reset, just power off the SE-02 and then turn it back on.
3. To execute the rest press the MANUAL button
4. When the display reads "F in", restart the SE-02 and it'll be just the way it was the day you got it.
