The SE-02 has a TRIGGER IN and TRIGGER OUT jack on the back of the synthesizer.
This is a great way to sync and clock the se02 with old fashioned analog triggers, gates, etc.
You can of course just use MIDI, but where's the fun in that?
The manual is a bit cryptic so here is a brief and hopefully simplier rundown.
For this to work you need to set the SEQUENCER clock source to trigger or“trg" (tr9).
First, set the MODE switch in the common section to SEQ mode.
The MODE SELECT SWITCH is where you can switch between PATCH, SEQUENCE or SONG mode.
In SEQUENCE mode, use the buttons to choose the type of data you wish to sequence - Note, Gate,
Glide, clock, etc
IN this case we want the sequencer to advance every time it receives a trigger.
1. Set the MODE switch to SEQ.
2. Press the NOTE button and GATE button to make them light
3. Use the [1] - [3] buttons to select a parameter, and use the VALUE knob to edit the parameter’s value.
The display indicates the value . In this case press button [2].
Button 2 sets the clock sync.
The choices are: Int: Internal
N id: MIDI IN
USb: USB MIDI
tr9: Trigger In
4. To save this setting perform the Song Write operation.
This setting is saved with a selected sound patch.
A. Press the VALUE knob. You will see the current song's blinking LEDs
B. Use the [0] - [16] buttons to select a new destination.
C. Press the VALUE knob. You will see a confirmation message appear on the display.
D. Press the VALUE knob to save.
5. Connect the GATE or TRIGGER output of your external sequencer to the TRIGGER IN
jack on the SE-02
