When it comes to creating gorgeous and high-fidelity ambience, reverb aficionados know that Strymon’s developers are among the best. The Strymon StarLab brings the company's beatific algorithms to the modular world, packing a laboratory of time-warped reverb sounds into a gorgeously constructed 28HP Eurorack module. The heart of StarLab is its grand reverb engine, with three complementary reverb structures on tap. But the unit goes even further, allowing you to transform the reverb with a comprehensive LFO section, shimmer and glimmer harmonic effects, and high- and low- dampening filters. Plus, StarLab includes a built-in Karplus-Strong synthesis engine for producing opulent strings and pads. Send your sonic creations beyond the deepest reaches of the galaxy with the StarLab Eurorack time-warped reverberator module from Strymon.

An endless source of rich, ambient textures

Strymon’s goal in developing StarLab was to empower Eurorack users with the lushest digital reverb available. This next-generation algorithmic reverb provides a wealth of ambient spaces, from snappy rooms to otherworldly, nearly infinite decays. Access three unique reverb structures using the texture control: sparse for a granular-sounding verb, dense for rich plate-like tails, and diffuse for a blooming ambience and reverse effects. Additionally, shimmer and glimmer controls allow you to enhance the reverberant space with tuned musical intervals and additional harmonic content.

Built-in Karplus-Strong string synthesis

On top of being an outstanding reverb unit, StarLab includes a built-in Karplus-Strong string synthesizer. Karplus-Strong utilizes super-short delay times and extended feedback cycles to transform short, plucked sounds into ethereal strings and pads. Its unique design allows for expressive bowing and plucking sounds, and, when processed through the StarLab’s reverb, it offers a characterful palette of immersive tones.

Encourages hands-on interaction

Strymon focused on hands-on performance when designing the StarLab module, and the result is a reverb effects module that plays like an instrument. All the controls have been tuned to reward real-time knob tweaking, delivering highly musical results even at extreme settings.
