Studio Electronics Boomstar Manual 25 Filter Talkers

FILTER TALKERS
MOOG:Creamywithgreatdenitioninthelowerregisters.
303: Mid range pronounced with clean clear resonance—squelchy.
ARP: Similar to Moog but less creamy and more grit—woolly.
SEM: Powerful mids. Not as deep as Moog but round and punchy, sinuous—searing.

Thebiggestdierencesbetweentheseltersarenoticeableathigherresonancesettings—that’swheremostlters
reveal their character, but there’s more:
The Moogladderhaswonderfuloverdriveintothelter,wide-rangingresonance,(whichdoesreducegainalittlebit
asresonanceisincreased)andasharp-24dbslope.Warmandfat.
The 303issimilartotheladder,butoneofthestagesusesadierentcapacitor,andtheresonanceischirpyand
mainlyavailableinhigherfrequencies.It’sabitbuzzierthantheMoog,andthecutoslopeisn’tquiteassharp.Acidy
is right.
The ARPlterisanintegratorcascade—resonanceisavailableovertheentirerange,andisquitepuresounding
(sinegoingtonearlytrianglewavesasitoverdrives)whichiswhyIlikeusingthe4075fordeepdrumandpercussion
sounds. It’s dry sounding and organic, also great for very ethereal and rubbery sounds. It’s -24db, but not quite as
crisp in the high end as the ladder based designs. That’s normal...
The SEMlterisOTAbased,andis-12db/octave.Itisalsoamultimodelter(highpass,lowpass,bandpass,notch,
andvariousmixesinbetween).It’sballsy,crispandclear,andgainactuallyincreaseswithresonance,butthelter

The CS80lterpairisbrightandbuzzy,withagentlyrollingcutoslope,andreallycomestolifeathigherresonance
settings.Theyarearesonantlowpassandaresonanthighpassltercascadedinseries,whichallowsyoutocreate

Resonance on the CS80 never reaches self-oscillation, which is probably good because it would harm speakers,
neighbors, children and pets if it did.
In the SE80, add to this the overdrive, feedback and distortion capabilities, and you’ll be on a wild ride. Don’t forget
to take breaks from it to eat, drink, or sleep.
If you’re into Olympic skating, you really can’t go wrong with the SE80 Boomstar from Studio Electronics. It has all the quirky squirrelly vocal charm of the original without the kind
of weight problems that have ended many a skater’s careers. Sure, you can go spend $10,000 on a used, broken or poorly serviced example of the original, load it up on your sled
