It's 2024 and I'm watching this video for the first time. All I have to say is wooooooow. So much character and potential packed into a single module. I didn't know it could function as a voice as well, which sounds absolutely incredible. Well done everyone. This is now at the top of my list.
Module is the study of transformation. I'm so glad that Mr. White turned his life around and now we can see his great review of such an amazing module.
Holy smokes! This thing is incredibly impressive. A fantastic demo for a product that seems like an incredible amount of work and well thought out interface. Bravo, Strymon. I always wondered if you’d return to Eurorack.

Simple incredible. Well, that's 2 Strymons now that will going into my modular system when I take the leap. Have had the BigSky and TimeLine in my guitar pedalboard for a couple of years, and they're still infinitely satisfying. Well done, Pete! What an exciting, inspiring company you have there!
BEST SOUNDING STRYMON EVER!!!! Amazing work, Pete! Now make a pedal or rack unit with this thing IN and make a dual delay or 4 taps delay. add MIDI presets and CCs and you'll have a winner!
Got this one coming to my studio! Strymon, love that you are converting some of your pedals into Eurorack modules like this for us studio folks (Volante/Magneto & NightSky/Starlab). Please keep that going! Guitar pedals are great for live performance/amp users but for DI and Synth applications in the studio I’d rather have modules like these. Not that you can’t use pedals that way, I do, but modules are a great option for studio work. Would love to see expanded versions of Deco, DIG & the Mobius “destroyer” algorithm as Eurorack modules!
Sounds amazing! I am not into modular either but have bought small modular case when Magneto came out and added couple of Doepfer filters, now Starlab on pre-order will join them soon, I use this small modular setup as my FX unit
This looks and sounds amazing! I know what I am getting myself for xmas. This year, I finally took the plunge into the realm of the rackmounted modular world. This will be my next purchase. It should go well with the very few modules that I have so far.
Absolutely stunning, Strymon! Still loving the Zelzah. Would be awesome if all you updated all your legacy products with the new hardware. As an owner of a Big Sky, Timeline, Volante, Flint, Magneto, the only thing keeping me from buying more is the lack of the Zelzah's midi implementation. Would gladly pay $50 more for the upgraded internals. Just a thought! You guys are the best!
@@erict2899 I agree. Especially with the synth wave stuff coming out recently. But I must admit, I've been missing out from the synth action and I just adore how beautiful synths sound!
I've played guitar for like 15 years and got into Eurorack about 18 months ago (and keyboard synth a few weeks ago), it was/is so eye opening, makes me look at music in different ways, it's definitely made me more creative, musically and there's just something wonderful about exploring what sounds you can create while patching. It's kinda therapeutic, very rewarding, immensely satisfying (when you create something that sounds nice) and extremely inspiring, can't recommend it enough. I definitely still love playing guitar though. 😊

Ahhh, interesting. It always seemed like my NightSky felt like a synth module jammed into a pedal format. This makes much more sense. Although tbh the parameters are less forgiving than, say, the Big Sky. Definitely gotta find sweet spots carefully. Which would make me think twice about using those CV inputs. Be sure to leave some hp for attenuators next to that behemoth.
Incredible! Pete is one valuable asset! QUESTION: Is there a chance you might one day offer a does-it-all quantizer pedal with 1/4” ins and outs? I build and sell step sequencers and I’d love to have such a pedal to plug into. Maybe others would have similar needs? I don’t use Eurorack.
Unfortunately we don't discuss future product developments, but we've never been ones to rule anything out :) certainly sounds like a cool idea for a pedal
I have been a long time Strymon fan, but they are the only pedals that I have ever had to send in for repair. I had an Iridium that just stopped working - all my pedals are powered by an Ojai. I thought maybe I hit the Iridium with phantom power from my preamp by mistake., but I can't be sure. Pedals usually last forever. But then I recently got a Zelza. I loved the sounds, and it worked for about a week. I had bought both pedals from a local store here in London, so I took them in and they had them both replaced free of charge under warranty. One week later, the new Zelza stopped working. Every other pedal in my chain has been fine, so it isn't a system issue. I realise things break, but two Zelzas and an Iridium makes me wonder if QA has slipped. If you think I am a hater I am not- I have an El Capistan, a Blue Sky, and a Sunset in my small-ish signal chain, along with the aforementioned pedals and power supply.
Hey there! We appreciate your support, and are sorry to hear about your experience so far with those pedals. If you haven't yet, please email our support team at support@strymon.net and we'd be happy to look into this for you and help you out if you're still having any issues.
To understand what the StarLab was doing, I had to "reverse engineer" the modules on the left side of the rack: a lot of modulation: LFO's, sample and hold, and dynamic filtering going on. So aside from watching Pete twist a few knobs, the "last module" before the StarLab was 8 LFO's controlled randomly, for example. At 34 minutes this video was pretty daunting, but adding a few seconds of "clean tone" (bypassing the StarLab to a vanilla VCA/out) would help. That said, it is an incredibly interesting demo, and I own several Strymon FX pedals that I program with and without MIDI so I know it's hard to know when to stop demo-ing what their stuff can do.
Thank you for the feedback, Frank! We will be adding some recording notes to the video description to make the audio path a bit more clear, we hope! Pete does start several of the examples dry, including near the beginning of the video when each reverb texture is introduced at 01:00, 03:54, and 05:06. If StarLab's Wet knob is at minimum and the Dry knob is turned up, then you are hearing only the unprocessed input signal. The Instruō øchd 8-LFO module you mentioned is present in the skiff but is not used in any of the examples. For all the examples that required an input source, Pete used a very basic input signal consisting only of an oscillator running through a low pass filter, with the filter output connected directly to StarLab's input. Hope this helps! :)
This sounds immensely good Unfortunately it's going to be 2022s Braids "pluk" algorithm of 2014/2015 (every demo or song has it for the next 3 years). At least they'll all sound gorgeous
@@ryanmartin3248 In this video, StarLab is housed and powered by a Moog rack. You'd a case and power supply first to power StarLab. You can use just StarLab to create sounds, as shown in the Karplus-Strong section of the demo, but in the other parts of the demo we are using an external oscillator and filter to generate the sounds heard.
Ooooohhhhh!....It's Pete Celi's sub-conscious...with reverb. I thought it might have been my long awaited Iridium 2....or new amp sims for the original Iridium cuz I love the Iridium so much but struggle with sparkly cleans and perhaps it could have an effects loop for delays or maybe just more headroom. They could also throw in a stellar looper and make it a larger format pedal...and maybe make it hugger orange with SS stripes. That's it. I just know that Strymon wants to do this for me (OK, us) and that's what makes Strymon great! Thx.
Recently picked up a Nightsky and view it as an instrument and not just a pedal. This module is exactly the same in my mind - it’s actually an instrument in module form.

That is bad ass. This will definitely end up in my rig. Congrats on such a great module. As is the Magneto! It'd be fantastic if some of these button/knob combos be added to the Magneto for an extra mode/cv control option over currently non-CVable parameters.

He's gone from making one blue, addictive and financially destructive product to another.
This is an outstanding demo - not just of the unit but of each reverb parameter and how those parameters affect the audio. Thanks Pete Celi!

Mine just arrived this morning : )
Can’t wait to try this. Congratulations guys!
Very cool demo and with Christmas just around the corner I may have to ask Santa for one. :)
Ask for me too. ;)
Convenient timing, I'd say.
Looking forward to the first Strymon full synthesizer :D
Would be cool if they made a matriarch style synth that was actually modular.
What a beautiful , well thought out module.
❤️
Wow sounds amazing, and packs a ton of functionality
cool, would be nice to hear some demos of it along side of a Magneto
Yes please. Y’all crushed this! So pumped.
gosh - how many years of DSP engineering will it take to design a structure like this. great work! DSP sound that mechanical layout looks amazing.
Never been really into modular... But this sounds SO good, wow.

Check out NightSky for something similar in pedal form :) www.strymon.net/product/nightsky/
@@strymon I did, but it's not at the same level as this... at least imho.
Strymon raises the bar again. Pete always gives a great demo…a big thanks. I feel an acute case of GAS coming on.

Do both. There are lots of ways to bridge the gap between the two these days.

Awwww why did I have to watch this demo? Life will never be the same 🤤🤤🤤😭
Does anyone else consider Pete to be the Albert Einstein of effects processing ? He’s a genius.
I'd have said the 'Heinsenberg' of effect processing instead. ;)
Dispassionately says "wild undulations." I'm enjoying the hell out of the Starlab, and this demo!
26:30 to 27:00 or so: a real-time transformation from Eddie Van Halen to Gary Numan and back to Eddie Van Halen. Wild!
Wow that is a beautiful effects unit
