• OSCILLATION: Class-A, discrete, DC coupled, output buffered, exponential current source, vintage-designed analog oscillator

• SEM: Obi-flavored, 12 Db voltage controlled state variable filter and “Pendulum Chaos Generator”—damping/stabilzing overide feature

• 4075: Arp-flavored Discrete, voltage controlled, 24/db/oct cascaded transconductance low-pass filter—six pairs of hand-matched transistors—Really a 4-pole ARP 4072 (better: more parts and trims) • 5089: Mini-flavored voltage controlled, discrete analog, 24 db/oct transistor ladder, low-pass filter (hand-matched transistors)

• SE88: Dual mode: High Pass/Band Reject, Low Pass/BandPass dual resonant, 12Db CS80 filter with stereo “Pendulum Chaos Generation” • MIDI 3: Third generation extremely full-featured MIDI to CV converter

• LEVELS: Versatile, low-noise six channel summing mixer/attenuator for audio and CV—pots are wired with logarithmic volume curves

• SHAPERS: Dual four stage envelope generator with independently adjustable ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE stages

• AMP: 2 stage Class A discrete design, using 3 pairs of hand matched transistors; Drive—‘70s era distortion and Drone control

• LFO2: Potent all analog dual LFO module—two different low frequency oscillator circuits provide a variety of modulation options • SCI FI: Ring Mod, White and Pink Noise, Sample and Hold “Classic Synth Toolbox,” with LFO and slewing control of S&H

• OUTS: Dual independent output module featuring a stereo 1/4" headphone amplifier output and dual mono 1/4" line level outputs

  1. Thanks MatrixSynth for the post!

    It appears that I have included a phantom Mult to the left of the MIDI3 amidst all the hoopla :/
    Corrected specs here: http://www.studioelectronics.com/assets/pdf/manuals/boomstar-modular/BoomstarModularUserManual-Sensei-System-Pages.pdf

    AND! The 6hp Brand Plate and two mults are going to have to be sacrificed together at the altar of our now feature-fattened 10hp slew limiter / attenuation module—same time frame/swap policy.

    'Supermoon' thanks,
    Marc St. Regis
