"Manufacturer's DescriptionSeen 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 and dedicated creativity of its supernal sound designers.
Features
Made In The USA!
Multi-Filter Powered -- Classic Mini, for the greasiest basses and warmest leads and the once upstart Obie, for that 12db boomy boxy reediness ala "Basic Record." Discrete? Yep.
Three Oscillator Core -- Three Oscillators with combinable triangle, saw and variable pulse width square waveforms make programming the root of your sound as thick and tight as you need it to be.
U Send Me Smoother -- Doubled up front panel resolution (from the SE1) and a clever "smoother" circuit make tweaking pots & throwing around switches a far silkier experience––via MIDI too.
External Audio Input -- Process unbalanced signals to balance your creativity. You decide what's crucial. Everything that usually affects the OSCs hugs and shapes your SE-1X's input info."
As it is you'd need a stereo guitar or keyboard rig to experience all of its functions. The beats are irregular and don't line up in an orderly array as you'd expect with a modern tremolo or vibrato device. While I don't know for sure I suspect this is an intrinsic feature of the unit. The internal electronics are clean and show no sign of modification. So here's the bottom line: this is a peculiar unit with potentially few practical applications. If you're intrigued by what it does, or if you're an EH completist, or into sonic experimentation, then you should consider it. If you're looking for something that you can use immediately as a modern tremolo or vibrato effect, then I would get something else."
