MODSTAR SENSEI HYBRID - $5599 Monorocket, $6299 Kahnco

SENSEI HYBRID resists analog purity for richly contrasting tones, modulation, and points of origin and purpose. Two stellar Eowave digital creations: the hypnotic and compelling CHARCOT CIRCLES: a 16 x 8 step sequencer, and STE. 16: a fiery, expansive, dual digital LFO, seem to have been waiting in the wings for just this moment to shine, as you might have guessed from their center-staging. Space Hardware's* GRAINY CLAMPIT: a granular and phase distortion additive oscillator, and QUADNIC: a 4 voice, 64 waveform digital oscillator, pair and push away from our pristine 8+ octave tracking discrete Class-A OSCILLATION module, in ways which must be experienced firsthand—a best of both worlds arrangement...

Three revered SE filters more than keep pace: SEM, 4075, and SE88.

Two case options: MonoRocket SE-M6104 Black Carbon Case, and Kahnco Modular Case System, powered by 4MS Row Power 30.

* Think PGH's "Symbiotic Waves".

MODSTAR SENSEI - Module Description

• 4MS ROW POWER 30

Clean, regulated, and protected power solution for eurorack systems. Row Power 30 provides 30W of power, suited for any typical eurorack row (84HP to 168HP).

• 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).

• AMP

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

• CHARCOT CIRCLES

16 x 8 step sequencer, that can be utilized as an 8 x 16 step track preset (8 CVs & gates), 4 x 32 (4 CVs & gates), 2 x 64 (2 CVs & gates), and 1 x 128 step track preset (1 CV, 1 gate). CV and gate expansion via our BBOX (Breakout Box).

• GRAINY CLAMPIT

Granular and phase distortion additive digital oscillator.

• LEVELS

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

• LFO2

Potent all analog dual LFO module; two independent low frequency oscillator circuits provide a variety of modulation options.

• MIDI 3

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

• MULTIPLE

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

• OSCILLATION

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

• OUTS

Dual independent output module featuring a stereo 1/4" headphone amplifier output and dual mono 1/4", optimized by Studio Electronics exclusively for Modstar Systems.

• QUADNIC

Four voice digital oscillator—each with a selection of 64 waveforms, 7 different processing modes including phase distortion and wave sequencing, and a dedicated volt per octave input.

• SCI FI

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

• SE88

CS-80 inspired dual resonant powerhouse with hi pass/band reject, low pass/band pass filter modes, and "Pendulum Chaos Generation”: (x2): a damping/stabilizing override feature for highly unpredictable overloads—input driven "blackout" (perfectly harmless Opamp smashing for smashing good fun).

• SEM

Obi-flavored, 12 Db voltage controlled state variable filter and "Pendulum Chaos

Generator" (x2)”: a damping/stabilizing override feature for highly unpredictable overloads—input driven "blackout". Angry & agressive when push comes to shove.

• SHAPERS

Dual four stage envelope generator with independently adjustable attack, decay, sustain, and release stages. Short and long range settings deliver smooth, detailed, and complex expression.

• SHPR

Half-strength Shapers.

• STE. 16

Dual digital LFO, featuring a hI-freq mode, complex waveform mixing possibilities and expressive patching possibilities.

Utility Modules

• ATTENULAG

Switchable dual attenuator, 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".

• ROUTER (R)

Dual bi-directional (despite what the nomenclature states) audio / CV router.

• VCA2

Dual high quality VCA for audio or CV level control—perfect for creating a CV modulation chain.
