strymon starlab vs night sky
An early test of the Karplus tuning using Noise Engineering BIA drum sounds to excite the string. Some of those can be cv controlled. Starlab and a step sequencer is all you need to submerge yourself in the vast modular ocean.
In short, the BigSky is a pure reverb pedal while the NightSky is a "Reverberator" with tons of augmentation options like pitch shifting, filtering, shimmering, and varying textures that you can apply. SPEED knob acts as clock div/ mult. Click Here To Purchase. Strymon StarLab 4 +4 Reverb Eurorack module Three selectable reverb types for a variety of ambient textures Four octaves of Karplus string synthesis with attenuation control for string/verb LFO section: different waveforms to modulate delay time, reverb size or filter Filter section with 4-pole 24dB/octave low-pass filter with variable resonance This gives you the ability to add pleasing musical harmonic distortion to the signal being processed by the reverb.
DECAYAdjusts the amount of time for thereverb to fade out. 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. In Karplus-Strong mode, sets string tuning over a continuous 5 octave range, or fine tuning of 12 semitones when SIZE/PITCH CV is detected.
StarLabs filter section is designed for intuitive, musical sound-sculpting of both the reverb signal and the Karplus-Strong string synthesis voice. by akavalve Mon Feb 07, 2022 3:45 pm, Post StarLab Strymon Digital Dual/Stereo Effect Filter Reverb Synth Voice Delay Time-warped reverberator Modular Transformation Machine Expand the sound of your modular rack with incredibly lush, ethereal reverbs. An external impulsive audio input excites the Karplus string with occasional ratcheting action while the high damp filter creates different string textures. The same LFO is used to increase the damping as the notes go lower in pitch, giving the effect of palm-muting those low notes and allowing things to open up as we ascend in pitch.
I have the NightSky and use it with my standalone synths. StarLab is a single module that will completely transform your modular rack. NightSky is a reverberant synthesis workstation, and a powerful, hands-on experimental sound design platform. 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 StarLabs reverb capabilities. It seems to be a bit less mid-coloured.
FEEDBACK Applies regeneration to the delay, resulting in more repeats with longer delays, or more resonance with shorter delays. The Big Sky pedal costs $479 and plenty of modular musicians use it as their reverb. NightSky gives you real-time continuous control of reverb pitch/processing rate/core size, harmonics, and even a synth-like resonant filter with multiple modulation waveshapes, plus a step sequencer with variable glide.
Use the dedicated FEEDBACK knob to add resonance and musical harmonic sweeps to flanger effects. The Filter can be switched between a simpler low/high damp and a 24dB/octave LPF, with variable resonance for the effected signal only. Shimmer level, reverb decay, delay feedback, and mod speed are under external CV control. experience. I whiled away the hours with Starlab being fed different left and right waveforms by a Pittsburgh Primary Oscillator (the fragments and timbre waveforms), triggered by a simple four-step sequence, with two extra LFOs from another module for some slow parameter movement.

WhenECHO ON is engaged, it becomes a dedicated delay effect by bussing the delay output to the WET output mix. The form factor is completely different between the two devices where NightSky is a three footswitch guitar pedal that comes with its own power supply, and StarLab is a 3U, 28hp Eurorack module that requires power from a Eurorack compatible power supply.
