The Studio Electronics SE-3X Uber-Synth Like A MIDI Minimoog On Steroids
Studio Electronics has introduced the SE-3X, a three-voice Paraphonic synth, inspired by the classic Minimoog, but offering full MIDI control and four discrete, classic hardware filters.
The SE-3X synth is an evolution of one of Studio Electronics’s first products, the SE-1(x). It was based largely on the Minimoog, but also incorporated features from other classic analogs, and added patch storage and extensive MIDI control.
The Studio Electronics SE-3X features four analog filters, letting you create sounds from a whole collection of vintage analog gear:
- SE Classic 24dB Moog;
- SE Classic 24dB ARP;
- SE Classic Juno/Jupiter: 4 modes: 24dB, 12dB, Mix; and
- SE Classic 12dB Oberheim: filter incorporates Low Pass & Band Pass modes.
New in the SE-3X:
*Hardware:
- Two fuzz modes: 70s & 90s. Front panel switchable.
- RESONANT FILTER COLLECTION: 24 dB MINI, 24 dB ARP, 24dB, 6dB, “Mix Mode” JUNO/JUPITER. SEM remains the built-in filter. Front panel switchable.
