Strymon just announced the Starlab Eurorack Module:
StarLab is a single module that will completely transform your modular rack: expand your palette with incredibly lush and ethereal reverbs. Enhance signals with gorgeous chorus, flanging and modulated delays and create uniquely expressive synth voices with Karplus-Strong string synthesis, transforming a single note into vast stereo soundscapes.
I guess I’m not really getting out of Euro. Just selling the old classic modules and making a shopping list of new stuff.
Wowzers.
That’s big.
The hardware seems identical to the Strymon Magneto (except for colour and labelling).
Yup… I guess it’s the same platform with a different firmware.
Big, questionable sockets placement, not really skiff-friendly, costly, eats up quite a few mA… but probably sounds awesome.
Lot of money and hp for a clouds clone…
I’m gasing over a desmodus versio… less hp, less mA, less money and swappable firmwares !
Nightsky in eurorack?
Already making room.
I like what I’m hearing so far.
I like the Karplus-Strong stuff.
It has way more CV patch points than Clouds.
Does not look like Nightsky to me - as there is no onboard sequencer
First patch with the new Strymon StarLab
Hello,
Has anyone been using the Starlab with the “Sparse” algorithm? Any thoughs on it? At the moment, that’s the feature that has me interested in this reverb that I don’t already have in other units.
Does anyone have a reccomendation otherwise for a sparse granular style reverb like this one with stereo outs? It doesn’t have to be Eurorack.
Thanks in advance.
I don’t have Starlab but from listening to demos, the Sparse algorithm reminds me of Mimeophon with the Halo knob turned up — you can still hear the signal repeats but they’re blurred together to give you a reverby wash. You might have to play with some of Mimeophon’s other parameters to get the sound just right but seems like there are some similarities there.
