At the 2015 NAMM Show, Studio Electronics made the NAMM debut of their Boomstar Eurorack modules and the Boomstar Modular Modstar system. 

 Here’s what they have to say about the new Boomstar Eurorack modules:

TONE AND TRADITION are the Boomstar Modular Modstar’s foundation and purpose. Big tone, pure tone, historically accurate, classic, warm and fat 5U modular tone, in two compete synthesizer expressions: Seito, the compact, 1st class patching powerhouse, and Sensei, the three filter Master Control System—all wrapped up in Pittsburgh Modular’s rugged Move 104, and 108 cases, respectively. Make noises or notes; leave the planet—Milky Way even, or stay in town and put your good foot down on some bass and lead bounce necessities. Play or stray—you’ll find your Modstar way.

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, Pre2, and Slate Pro Audio Dragon & Fox to market, and the air waves worldwide.

Our Boomstar Modular System’s 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; 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.
