January Explorations 05: Stylophone CPM DS-2 Drone Synth. With and without external effects.

Описание: This is exciting. After nearly a year, Stylophone have finally started shipping their Drone Synth.
I was super interested in this when it was first announced and demo’d last year.
Got on the pre-order announcement list and then waited. For quite some time.
Suddenly, last week, they announced that it was ready for shipping and people on the pre-order list would start to get emails with a link to buy.

And here we are!

It was worth waiting for. I don’t know what Stylophone have been drinking to come up with this new direction but I think they’ve got a winner on their hands.
You can lose hours with this, just noodling around.

Starsky Carr has just done an excellent video going through it bit by bit so if you want a more detailed look (with talking) than what I give here, I highly recommend his video as he does his usual thorough, and fun, overview.

Starsky Carr’s video:
   • What is This Madness - A Synth with No Env...  

My take is a run through of the various parameters in no particular order, with a few sound and patch examples after. I then add a bunch of external effects which really open it up and show how massive this thing can sound.

The effects used, in order of appearance, are:

PolyMoon Delay
Specular Tempus reverb (Voices algorithm)
HX One (Euclidean delay)

Chapter markers are there if you want to skip to certain sections.
