"Now the science bit, courtesy of the manufacturers: ++++++ Seen where the sound of success was heard, the SE-1 recreated the power of the classic Moog tone and far more. The distinctive Oberheim filter and numerous additional features helped to make this Hiphop and R&B legend the serious professional's source for the boominest basses and smoothest, wormiest leads on the planet. The SE-1X continues in this tradition, remaining true to its roots, while stepping up its functionality and form; wide open to future expansion and exploration via its Flash-ROM operating system –not to mention the boundless creativity of our supernal sound designers! SE-1X Improvements on an SE-1 Theme:
4 ROM Banks (396 locations).
4 RAM Banks (396 locations).
Greatly enhanced MIDI specs.
Flash-ROM Web-updateable Operating Software.
Smoother tweaking and MIDI transmission of front panel pots (switches send info. as well).
External Audio Input.
