Boomstar Modular Introduction
THE BOOMSTAR MODULAR SYSTEM realizes the seemingly inevitable!eurorack sprawl of our semi-modular BOOMSTAR desktop
synth, consisting of 14 modules that dramatically open up the root level programming and sound sculpting of that lush, potent, and
fantastically flexible multi-filtered Boomstar sound.
!
What makes it tick: Let’s tick ‘em off: Class A 5089, 3003 and AMP *, rugged through-hole construction, discrete circuitry, hand-
matched transistors in the filters and amplifier, multi-filtered, hand-crafted, Premium Quality Analog sound. We’d like to think we’ve
learned a few things bringing the MIDIMINI, SE1-X, ATC-X, polyphonic CODE OMEGA synths, MODMAX PEDALS, C2S, PRE 2, and
SLATE PRO AUDIO DRAGON and FOX to market, and the air waves worldwide.
!
Our Boomstar Modular System’s (Modstar) 5089 circuit mirrors faithfully the filter design from the Minimoog—it is not a style; it’s
not a type, not reminiscent of, not vintage inspired—it is the analog sound standard manufactured anew, and how we love it so. Apply
the same thinking to our 4075, 3003, and SE80 filters vis-à-vis their originals, and you’ve caught our drift; the OSCILLATION and
AMP modules also resonate with the Mini’s timeless designs, functionality, and gorgeous, gleaming sound—modernized and
reimagined by the maestro Tim Caswell himself, but we’re just getting started here; the SEM filter is on deck.
!
We hope you are as thrilled with your purchase of the complete system/individual modules, as we are with our partnership with the
exceedingly savvy folks at PITTSBURGH MODULAR, and the final highly collaborative through-hole designs which flowed from the
first Nicol/St. Regis Beer Summit at Winter NAMM ’13, and culminated in total design integration with STUDIO ELECTRONICS Tim
Caswell and Greg St. Regis. All MODSTAR modules (excepting PIttsburgh's brilliant MIDI3, LFO2, and Outs) are manufactured to SE’s
highest standards of legendary build quality right here in the U. S. A. Take away Pittsburgh's invaluable, real world/walking the streets of Euroland insights,
experience, and deep resources—this project would have long since have faded to grey. A tip of the SE chapeau to Richard Nicol, Perry, and the full-strength,
generally less-weathered outfit at PGH. AND to sales guru Geoff Farr who both hounded and inspired: “When are the euro modules going to be ready?” Looks.
