Studio Electronics Modstar Sensei Analog

Product Description

The Studio Electronics SENSEI ANALOG is a lustrous, three discrete Oscillator, all analog duophonic dream machine (OK, the customized MIDI 3 is a clever forgivable digital necessity) which could, should, be thought of in the same breath as celestial chariots of old—here transporting earthly creations beyond the hammered bowl/barrier of the firmament into a synthetic, sonic paradise. Four supreme, exalted filters: SEM, 4075, 5089 and SE88, one for each Class-A OSC, stamp this Sensei with the trademark SE warmth; the extra SE88 filter provides the final resonant subtraction, and sanction. The Special Edition SE MonoRocket M6104 Black Carbon Case holds it all together, especially where beefy power delivery, clarity of sound, solid build quality, and handsome, rugged portability are concerned. Internally mounted IEC supply makes your pack & setup nice 'n' easy—does it every time.

MODSTAR SENSEI - Module Description

• OSCILLATION: (x3) - Class-A, discrete, DC coupled, output buffered, exponential current source, vintage-designed analog oscillator.

• MULTIPLE: Passive utility module with two independent sections of four linked jacks.

• SEM: Obi-flavored, 12 Db voltage controlled state variable filter and "Pendulum Chaos Generator"—damping/stabilizing override 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).

• MIDI 3: Third generation extremely full-featured MIDI to CV converter, optimized and calibrated by Studio Electronics exclusively for Modstar Systems.

• ATTENULAG: Switchable dual attenuation, 3 output lag generator for CV and audio.

• MIX4: Space conscious, unity gain, 4 in/1 out, high quality audio and CV mixer and "multer".

• VCA2: Discrete quad op-amp dual VCAs for audio and level chaining, control, and sharper tonality.

• SHAPERS: (x2) Dual four stage envelope generator with independently adjustable attack, decay, sustain, and release stages.

• LFO2: Potent all analog dual LFO module—two different low frequency oscillator circuits provide a variety of modulation options.

• AMP: (x2) 2 stage Class A discrete design, using 3 pairs of hand matched transistors; DRIVE—'70s era distortion and Drone control.

• ROUTER (R): Compact switchable dual audio/CV router.

• SCI FI: Ring Mod, White and Pink Noise, Sample and Hold—Classic Synth Toolbox, with LFO and slewing control of S&H.

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

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