At 5:12 you'll see "MIDI overflow" on the back. Apparently you can chain these for polyphony.
Update: I heard back from Studio Electronics. You should be able to chain up to four of these, after there might be lag. Editing on one will not affect the other, so you would need to dial each up to mach much like SEMs in a two or four voice system. The plus side of this is you can slightly detune and alter the individual voices for potentially more interesting sounds. Think chords where each voice is doing something slightly different.
Studio Electronics debut of four new mono synths at the Noisebug booth. Marc St. Regis gives us an overview of the new Boomstar 4075 (ARP 2600 filter), the Boomstar 3003 (Roland TB-303 filter, but "sounds more like an SH-101"), the Boomstar SEM (Oberheim SEM filter), and finally the Boomstar 5089 (Minimoog filter). Audio demos are of the 4075 and 3003. Although the Boomstars were first announced back on March 2, 2012 here, NAMM was the first time they made a public appearance. You can find a demo of the 4075 posted on September 30, 2012 here, and one previous NAMM video recently posted by SonicState here. The product page for the Boomstars is here. I have to say these do sound great; they are incredibly thick and rich sounding analog synths. As you can see they have a small physical footprint along with substantial feeling knobs and they have quite a few extra features. Click the pics below for some super size shots.
I had soooo much fun playing these, Can't wait to get at least two! Thanx Marc!
