Studio Electronics ToneStar 2600 is an ARP® 2600 inspired synth voice eurorack module allowing for highpass/bandpass/notch filter tones and bristling X-mod effects.
With its 26 knobs, 7 switches, and 21 jacks make complex/satisfying signal flow, colour and collisions.

All Controls and Patch Points:
VCO:
- FREQUENCY – Oscillator frequency attenuator.
- PULSE WIDTH – Variable pulse wave width control.
- OCT – +1/-1 octave switch.
- LFO (^) – Triangle wave low frequency oscillation to pulse width control.
- FREQ/PW – Oscillator frequency, or Pulse (square wave) width to ADSR modulation routing switch. Center off.
- GLIDE – Slew generator control.
- MOD (ADSR) – Oscillation modulation via ADSR control.
- TRIANGLE/NO VCF – Triangle to VCA switch—bypasses VCF.
- SAWTOOTH – Sawtooth wave attenuator.
- SQUARE – Square wave attenuator.
- SUB – Square wave Sub Oscillator attenuator.
- TRIANGLE – Waveform output.
- SAWTOOTH – Waveform output.
- SQUARE – Waveform output.
- MIX – Composite waveform output.
- 1V/O – One volt per octave control voltage input.
- TUNE – Master fine tune (approx. -5/+ 5 semitones).
- MOD IN – Modulation CV input. Normaled to ADSR; ADSR is replaced when alt. source connected.
- NOISE – White noise generator output.
- LEVEL – Noise attenuator.
- FREQUENCY Frequency, or cut-off attenuator
- RESONANCE – Resonance, or Q attenuator.
- TRACK – Keyboard/voltage tracking attenuator.
- DRIVE – Oscillator output to filter input attenuator.
- FREQ/RESO – Filter Frequency, or Resonance to LFO modulation routing switch. Center off position.
- ADSR – Filter to ADSR envelope attenuator.
- MOD (LFO) – Filter to LFO attenuator.
- EXT IN – External audio input.
- FIL OUT – Filter audio output.
- MOD IN – Frequency or Resonance modulation CV input.
- TRIANGLE/SQUARE – Waveform select switch (triangle core).
- DPTH (OSC) – LFO to Oscillator control.
- SPEED – Speed or rate attenuator.
- DEPTH – Control voltage Input.
- TRIANGLE – Triangle wave output.
- SQUARE – Square wave output.
- SPEED – Speed or rate CV input.
- ATTACK – Attack stage control.
- DECAY – Decay stage control.
- SUSTAIN – Sustain stage control.
- RELEASE – Release stage control.
- DRONE/MASTER – Indefinite/instant sustain, and master mode for ADSR routing switch: fuses VCF envelope with VCA envelope. Center off.
- ATTACK – Attack stage control
- RELEASE – Release stage control.
- MOD IN – Allows for dynamic modulation of the ADSR, eg., if you want the amount of modulation added to/determined by a external source, jack in; or if you prefer, modulation input to the ADSR routing—use with velocity, or a sequencer: the sequencer could isolate the ADSR amount the amount to a single step in the phrase for example. Exciting. A second external envelope can provide an interesting effect, or the AR (in the box patching).
- ADSR OUT – ADSR output.
- AR OUT – AR Output.
- FEEDBACK – Oscillator/filter feedback loop control.
- VOLUME – Master volume control.
- VCA CV – Amplifier control voltage output.
- IN/MIX – VCA mix input switch switch (normalled jack). When set to IN, external audio replaces filter output to VCA; when set to mix MIX, filter output is fed along with the filter audio to VCA.
- VCA IN – Audio input.
- OUTPUT – Main output.
- PCB Mounting Scheme - Through-hole.
- Filter - Discrete, voltage controlled, 24/db/oct cascaded transconductance low-pass filter, employing six pairs of hand-matched transistors.
- Size - 32hp.
- Depth - 35mm including connectors.
- Power Usage - 130mA, 80mA (+12 / -12)
