Studio Electronics SE-3X Paraphonic Synthesizer

Three + Four = Heaven. The SE-3X: a three-voice Paraphonic synth with four discrete, classic hardware filters.

Seen where the sound of success was heard, the SE-1(X)s popularity with hit-makers, film composers and sound designers has spanned decades, and the ‘X never quite rode off into the sunset. Now, it’s blazing back with software sweetening and sweeping hardware refinements innovations worthy of 30 years of rack time and your time. Built attractively, built solidly, bringing you the bump ‘n’ thump and higher frequency clarity and warmth that has been the secret weapon of legends. No hardware upgrade path for ‘1X users (and yes we still love you), but complete and fully compatible 3X software for the SE-1X is available as a EPROM chip upgrade.
