- time-warped reverberator

pg 3

StarLab expands the sound of your Eurorack rig with lush reverbs as
well as chorus, flanging, and modulated delays. StarLab is also a full-
featured Karplus-Strong string synthesis voice module that allows
freely alternating bowing and plucking as well as dynamic string
damping. Complete with LFO with multiple waveforms and targets,
StarLab is packed with powerful features and extensive CV I/O all while
maintaining intuitive playability.
