modular transformation machine.
expand the sound of your modular rack with incredibly lush, ethereal reverbs. enhance signals with gorgeous chorus, flanging, and modulated delays. create uniquely expressive synth voices with karplus-strong string synthesis. turn simple mono audio signals
into vast stereo soundscapes. starlab is a single module that will completely transform your modular rack.
singular modular reverb.
from perfectly voiced room ambience to vast, immersive, nearly infinite decays, starlab offers the pinnacle of premium reverb sounds with unparalleled depth and spaciousness. add musical intervals to the reverb signal with shimmer, and enhance the harmonic
spectrum with glimmer, while enjoying real-time control over the size/pitch of the reverb process.
modulation and delay effects.
starlab has vastly expanded what reverb pre-delay can do by allowing you to bus the pre-delay signal to the output while making the pre-delay time a modulation target. this results in the ability to create rich choruses, sweeping flanger effects, and
beautiful modulated delays, while also processing signal through the reverb.
karplus-strong string synthesis.
in addition to input signal processing, starlab is a powerful karplus-strong string synthesis voice module that allows freely alternating bowing and plucking as well as dynamic string damping. this results in an astoundingly expressive and lifelike instrument
with a unique voice all its own, which can be enhanced and expanded by the full range of starlab's reverb capabilities.
intuitive creation station
from patch creation to live performance, starlab's powerful features are easily accessible at the turn of a knob or the touch of a button. with no menus to wade through, starlab's interface is designed for intuitive hands-on sonic exploration, while every
function and control works together to respond musically and smoothly.
