Studio Electronics Eurorack ARP 2600-Inspired Complete Synthesizer Voice Module with Oscillator, Sub-Oscillator, Roland JUNO-106-Inspired Filter, Envelope Generator, LFO and Noise Generator

Studio Electronics Tonestar 8106 is an ARP 2600-inspired complete synth voice eurorack module with Tim Caswell's 'Jupiter to Juno' filter alchemy, a 6dB/octave hi-pass filter followed by a recreation of the Roland IR3109 module, which is a 4-pole, 24 dB/octave voltage-controlled lowpass filter with voltage-controlled resonance. 3 dual OTAs with similar topology to the BA662 used in the Jupiter 8 (and the IR3109 module) were employed, 1 amp for the hi-pass filter, 4 (with added buffers) for the low-pass, and 1 for the resonance. This filter takes a wide range of input signals and tracks control voltage extremely well.

  • Features
    • Premium quality analog pre-patched and fully modular all-hardware synth voice
    • 27 knobs, 6 switches, 21 patch points in a daring yet ergonomic 32hp module
    • Eight octave tracking ARP-, Oberheim- and Moog-styled oscillator with sub-oscillator, octave control, waveform mixing, triangle direct to VCA, and LFO/ADSR modulation of pulse width with dedicated triangle wave for warming/chorusing effects
    • 6db/oct hi-pass filter followed by a recreation of the Roland IR3109 module
    • Classic ADSR/AR envelope with original 2600 'sustain sink' behavior to keep it movin'
    • Ultra wide-ranging voltage-controlled LFO with input speed control
    • Master mode: ADSR controls both filter and amplifier envelopes (a la JUNO-106)
    • Feedback: harmonic-generating/multiplying oscillator/filter feedback loop manipulation
