Studio Electronics Boomstar Modular Quadnic

Here's What Studio Electronics Say About the Boomstar Modular Quadnic

QUADNIC reps. our 2nd collaboration with SpaceHardware—a deeply featured 12hp module with four digital oscillators—each with a selection of 64 waveforms, 7 different processing modes including phase distortion and wave sequencing, and a dedicated volt per octave input. In unison mode, all 4 OSCs can be played via the 1st 1V/O input, by 1V/O inputs 1-4, and widely detuned, or switched to a preset chord formation—a major move beyond the 'one note samba' monophonic, module choreography we all know and mainly love, but... scooch over Grainy, Quadnic is cookin' up digi-vittles for four. "Come 'n' git it!" and stay in record: the Quadnic is non-programmable; when the power recycles, the Quad defaults to voice 1 active with current pot positions. All edits are live; all edits are volatile. Exciting. Always fresh.

Master Matters

• With MASTER mode switched on, the oscillator responds to it's own CV input.
• Oscillators 2 to 4: If Master LED is not lit, the oscillator responds to CV 1, with the pitch control adding +/-1 octave offset.
• Oscillator 1 always responds to CV input; the other oscillators follow CV 1 if they are not set to Master.
• When all 4 oscillator switches/lights are selected, the Quadnic is in unison mode and all oscillators follow CV 1; the front panel control affects all 4 oscillators.
• To get all oscillators to same pitch, adjust the Pitch and Fine controls.
• To get all oscillators to play the same sound (they are quite independent), adjust all controls.
• All 4 OSC lights on, with Master selected: unison and Chord can detune massively up to 4 octaves.
• All 4 OSC lights on, with master not selected: unison and Chord produce chords.

Inputs and Outputs

• 1V/OCT 1 - Oscillator 1, 1 Volt per octave input. 0-10V input range. Controls the pitch of any other oscillator that is set to Slave mode.
• 1V/OCT 2 - Oscillator 2, 1 Volt per octave input. 0-10V input range. Only affects oscillator 2 when in Master mode.
• 1V/OCT 3 - Oscillator 3, 1 Volt per octave input. 0-10V input range. Only affects oscillator 3 when in Master mode.
• 1V/OCT 4 - Oscillator 4, 1 Volt per octave input. 0-10V input range. Only affects oscillator 4 when in Master mode.
• Proc CV - Process CV input. +/-5V input range. One CV input for all oscillators, but can be attenuated for individual oscillators using the Process CV control.
• Out 1 - Oscillator 1 output.
• Out 2 - Oscillator 2 output.
• Out 3 - Oscillator 3 output.
• Out 4 - Oscillator 4 output.
