IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ

Please read the Boomstar Modular Synthesizer Manual completely before use, and retain for future reference.

IMPORTANT Ribbon Cable Power Information:

Boomstar Modular combines a set of individual modules to create a complete instrument. The individual modules can be

rearranged, removed, and replaced with any compatible eurorack modules from Studio Electronics and other manufacturers.

Boomstar Modular uses a standard eurorack power rail to connect the modules to the internal bipolar +/-12v power supply. Please pay very close attention to

the orientation of the ribbon cable when adding and removing modules. The stripe on the ribbon cable marks -12v. This stripe needs to line up with the -12v

pins on the power rail and the -12v pins on the module. Failure to match up the pins correctly can result in damage to one or all the modules in the

Boomstar Modular. On the power rail, the -12v pins are clearly labeled. On the individual modules, the positive and negative sides of the pin connectors are

labeled next to the power header on either the top or bottom of the PCB.

Do NOT remove individual modules from the Boomstar while synthesizer is plugged in.

NEVER unplug ribbon cables from the Boomstar Modular, or any other modules while the Boomstar Modular is plugged in.

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 and potent, and already flexible 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

PITTSBURGH MODULAR, and the final highly collaborative through-hole designs which flowed from the first Nicol/St. Regis

Beer Summit at Winter NAMM ’13. The MODSTAR module breakdown upshot: Filters, Oscillators, and AMP are built by SE,

and the intoxicating remainder by our good friends and exceedingly savvy business partners at PGH—without whose invaluable,

real world/walking the streets of Euroland insights, experience, and deep resources, this project would have faded to grey. A

tip of the SE chapeau to Richard Nicol, Perry, and the full-strength, generally less-weathered outfit at PM. AND to Geoff Farr

who relentlessly hounded the St. Regis bros—“When are the euro modules going to be ready?” “Can I get a single pic?” Looks.

*See pg.12, par. 2 for caveat.!

Modular Signal Paths

(Copy courtesy of Pittsburgh Modular)

The BOOMSTAR MODULAR’S signal path is divided into two types of signals: audio signals and control

voltages.

The audio signal is the sound that is produced. The audio signal path starts at a sound source such as a

Waveforms oscillator, LFO running at audio rate, or the Filter in oscillator mode. The audio signal is then

patched through other modules used to shape the sound such as mixers, filters, and amplifiers.

Control voltages (CV) manipulate the audio signal in several different ways.

Gates are represented by a high or low control voltage. A gate can be generated using a square or pulse

wave from an oscillator or LFO, or by using a gate output from an external sequencer, or MIDI keyboard.

A gate can be shaped using an envelope generator to control the attack, decay, sustain, and release of

the gate. The modified gate signal can then be sent to any CV input on the synth.

A second use for control voltages is as a modulation source. For example, a control voltage from the

SCI-FY S/H OUT (Sample and Hold) module patched into the 1V/O input on an OSCILLATION module

controls the frequency of the oscillator based on the randomly generated sequence of notes,

additionally, the OSCILLATION module’s full range oscillators make perfect control voltage modulation

sources; and audio signals make excellent control voltage source for oscillator FM (frequency

modulation). Understanding exactly how it works can sometimes hinder creativity—experiment!

5089 Filter Module

Description

The 5089 filter is a voltage controlled, discrete analog, 24 db/oct transistor ladder, low-pass filter, employing hand-matched

transistors. Our ladder low-pass filter—a subtractive analog sound synthesis foundation—in its lowest FREQUENCY setting

removes, or cuts off higher frequency harmonics; its RESONANCE or Q circuit emphasizes those harmonics to the point of

“squealy,” giddy self-oscillation, tracking the keyboard in its FULL setting quite nicely if seeking an alternative sine wave.

Our 5089 has the roundest, slickest tone of all the Boomstar’s filters. Go easy on it, and round, creamy buttery flavors wrap

the oscillators in earthy warmth; smash it and a!meaty, satisfying overdrive, and a maximum harvest of vintage 1960s and

1970s organic-sounding, second-order harmonic distortion fill the plate. Every setting is balanced and bountiful. Looking for

traditional R ’n B baselines and leads? Focus here on the rich saturation of this benchmark filter and its symmetrical cascades

of generation-stretching timbres. All BOOMSTAR MODULAR filters are hand-built in the U. S. Pick-and-Place all the way!

Potentiometer Potential

Seven attenuation pots control the FREQUENCY, RESONANCE, FREQ CV 1, RESO CV, FREQ CV 2, INPUT and OUTPUT,

delivering smooth, detailed, and complex expression.

Switch It Up

Patch It Up

Seven patch points: 1 V/O, FREQ CV 1, FREQ CV 2, RESO CV, INPUT and 2x OUTPUT direct the deepest manipulation.!
