Description

SE-02 Controller is a M4L midi device that enables control of the Roland SE-02 analog synthesizer in Ableton Live.

The layout of the controller places an emphasis on exploration and sound design by re-organizing the sections and clearly highlighting the current setting of each parameter.

All of the SE-02's internal patches are included, so the dials are synched and will reflect the parameter values of the internal patches.

Feature Highlights

1 - The SE-02's internal presets are accessed using the patch and bank selector buttons. Store an additional 64 user-defined presets using the Presets controller. All presets can be stored and retrieved from a file. Note that Banks A, B, C, and D are supported. The USER bank is not currently supported.

2 - Descriptions are provided for each parameter.

3 - All parameters can be controlled using an Ableton Push control surface.

4 - Easily select a random combination of oscillator settings.

5 - Patch morphing feature to gradually transition between 2 patches using the slider. See https://youtu.be/j-vPlay_Rl0 for a demo.
