What this episode covers

Sunshine Jones, an electronic musician and author, discusses his User's Guide to the Roland SE-02 synthesizer, explaining how he created it to address the device's insufficient official documentation. He details the technical architecture of the SE-02, including its voltage-controlled oscillators and filters, while arguing that deep engagement with hardware is superior to screen-based music production. Jones shares his self-taught journey of building and repairing synthesizers, emphasizing that debugging and failure are essential parts of learning electronics and building robust products.
