StrymonStarLab Time-Warped Reverberator

Strymon StarLab

Strymon brings their exceptional DSP expertise to Eurorack once again with StarLab, a time-warped reverberator featuring extensive voltage control capabilities. Capable of generating a wide variety of reverbs from realistic spaces and tight plates to cavernous terrain and anywhere in between, you get full control over your 'verb with controls for Size/Pitch, Decay, dedicated Dry and Wet knobs, as well as Input Gain for adding a little bit of grit. The magic only begins with the reverb, though: a dedicated Harmonics section adds classic, pitch-shifting Shimmer with an interval control that can be placed before the reverb. Alternatively, you can engage the Regen button to add shimmer to the reverb regeneration signal. A unique Glimmer control adds shifting harmonic frequency peaks, giving a wonderful and organic sound, and with modulation available with the CV input, you can get satisfying and unique textures.

Not content with a standard pre-delay option, the StarLab has an expanded Delay/Karplus section that can add a lovely echo or be switched into a fully-featured voice for nice string-like sounds. Add a voice to the input while in Karplus mode and use the same pitch data to tune StarLab to the input source, creating resonant ghosts floating in and out of the sonic sphere.

Subtle and extreme changes are easily dialed in with the built-in LFO, which is switchable to affect the Delay, Filter, or Pitch. Morph between triangle, square, saw, random, and envelope wave shapes with standard speed and depth controls. A filter section allows you to independently damp the Low and High frequency spectrum to add the perfect balance. With a generous CV array and high-quality 96kHz, 24-bit audio, the StarLab from Strymon is an incredible addition to any rack needing a reverb unlike any other.
