Full Description

Old-School Analog Sound

The Studio Electronics Boomstar SE 80 Synthesizer features a sturdy steel chassis with a comprehensive collection of pots and rotary switches. The analog signal path is totally discrete, offering hand-matched transistors in the filter and amplifier sections, with a pair of multi-waveform oscillators as well as a warm forgiving VCA. As far as modulation and routing options go, you really can't knock the Boomstar SE 80, which includes all of the standard LFO and envelope options you'd expect, plus cross modulation and ring modulation so you can really go nuts.

Yamaha CS-80 Lowpass Filter

The Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer and filters alike have been used by many artists including David Bowie, The Who, Kraftwerk and Daft Punk. Achieve the iconic sound of the late '70s with this smooth yet cutting filter, whether you're creating highly resonant glissandos or wild note bends.
