They twisted and turned the SE88 to unflatten the earth, so to speak; the original CS80 fed a HP filter into a LP filter, but with the SE88 your can select MODE 1's HP or BR to feed MODE 2's LP or BP, or patch it to reverse that pleasant path. The audio signal is completely controllable with input and output levels for each filter. Cherish and respect your filter's input gain stages, for a smooth yet often brassy sound—shed your mercy to strike hard for boiling, snarling bite, even to the blackout\/cutout point (see Greg St. Regis, Tim Caswell, and Marc St. Regis' SEM filter commentary for a detailed diatribe on this \"feature too far\"); then and only then, uniquely blend mode settings for the filter family values you revere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get things merrily modulating, each filter employs attenuverters for frequency and resonance experimentation and decimation. While the SE88 does not self oscillate (Yamaha's creation didn't either), the resonance level was amped up for full-throttle squelching. An additional master FM (frequency modulation) attenuverter-controlled level can feed both filters (when hungry enough) simultaneously, and tracking switches allow for individual keyboard response for each of the contrasting and complimentary filter modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of responses, the Boomstar SE80 - Dual Resonant Powerhouse, features the same core filter architecture, and is our current SoundCloud play king of the hill: soundcloud.com\/studio-electronics\/sets\/the-se80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePotentiometer Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive attenuverter and eight attenuation pots control the FREQUENCY MODE 1, FM IN, FREQUENCY MODE 2, RESONANCE, M1 FM, RESONANCE, M1 RES CV 1, M2 RES CV, INPUT, M2 FM, OUTPUT, LEVEL (M1 OUT), and LEVEL (M2 OUT).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSwitch it Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2\/3 - 1\/3 TRACK (M1), FULL - HALF TRACK (M2), HP - BR, LP - BP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePatch it Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen patch points: 1 V\/O, FM IN, M1 FM, M2 FM, M1 RES CV, M2 RES CV, M1 IN, M1 OUT,M2 IN, M2 OUT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAll Controls and Patch Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFREQUENCY MODE 1 – Adjusts the frequency, or cutoff of Mode 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\/3 - 1\/3 TRACK - Toggles tracking options for Mode 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFM IN - Adjusts the master frequency modulation input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFULL - HALF TRACK - Toggles tracking options for Mode 2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFREQUENCY MODE 2 - Adjusts the frequency, or cutoff of Mode 2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRESONANCE – Adjusts the resonance of Mode 1's filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 FM - Adjusts Mode 1's frequency modulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRESONANCE – Adjusts the resonance of the Mode 2's filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHP \/ BR - Toggles the High-Pass and Band-Reject option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 RES CV – Adjusts Mode 1's resonance control voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 RES CV – Adjusts Mode 2's resonance control voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINPUT – Adjusts the master audio input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 FM – Adjusts Mode 2's frequency modulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPUT – Adjust the audio output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 V\/O – One volt per octave control voltage input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFM IN – Master frequency modulation input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 FM – Mode 1 frequency modulation input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 FM – Mode 2 frequency modulation input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 RES CV – Mode 1 resonance control voltage input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 RES CV – Mode 2 resonance control voltage input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 IN – Mode 1 input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLEVEL – Level control for Mode 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM1 OUT – Mode 1 output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 IN – Mode 2 input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLEVEL – Level control for Mode 2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 OUT – Mode 2 output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Studio Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449888239719,"sku":"56789","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/studio-electronics-se88-1_83ed075b-9866-4f6f-9627-ee1ac75b615b.jpg?v=1787090824","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/studio-electronics-se88","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
