AMP Electronics Star Song Sequencer
The AMP Electronics Star Song takes its cosmic inspiration from star charts and ancient astrolabes. Its a rotating optical disc-programmed sequencer with a built-in minimalist synthesiser.
Star Song can be used to either play its own built-in pulsewave synthesiser, or in combination with the AMP electronics Wave Expander (sold separately) to drive external analog and modular synthesisers.
How Its Used:
To create sequences, the seven translucent rings (orbits) of the optical disc are marked with an included marker or opaque tape. The disc is removable and additional discs are sold separately, allowing for indefinite storage of your favourite sequences.
The outer six rings control the tuned note selection and note-on/off sequencing. The innermost ring controls the cut-off frequency for the built-in bandpass filter.
Disc on/off and disc direction are toggled from touch contacts on the front panel, and disc speed is controlled from the central rotary control.
Additionally, there are 1/8" inputs to control rotation speed and rotation direction with an external source.
The addition of Wave Expander makes the Star Song into an incredibly versatile GATE (6 channels) and CV (1 channel) sequencer, as well as providing its tuned audio oscillator over five separate octave divisions (four audio and one sub-audio), 12 outputs in all to integrate into your modular system.
Multiple units can be synced by using an external clock signal, and you can even slave the Star Song to your existing Melody Oracle/Wave Expander combo.
Specs:
- Disc Rotation: 0~15RPM
- Panel Controls: Disc rotation on/off, disc rotation rate, disc rotation reverse.
- Synthesiser: Quasi-monophonic pulsewave, 8 tuned notes, each with three octaves used in any combination. Sequenced via optical disc.
- Tone Filter: Bandpass, optically-controlled.
- Audio Output: ¼” LINE (5V p-p)
- AMP LINK Output: CAT 5 or 6 w/SHIELDED connector (compatible with Wave Expander and future AMP accessories only).
- Motor Clock Input: ⅛” 0-12V. ON @>7.5V
- Disc Direction Input: ⅛” 0-12V. CCW @>7.5V
- DC input: 15VDC, 2.1mm, tip positive
