THE DF-8 & DS-2 RESONANT DRONE

video upload by Stylophone

"THE DF-8 & DS-2 RESONANT DRONE

This month we’re celebrating drone music.

In this patch, we combine the DS-2’s oscillators, filters and LFO with the DF-8’s looping envelopes and stereo filters to create a huge, highly resonant drone. Subtle modulation and moving cutoffs add constant movement, while stereo filtering and delay help build a wide, evolving soundscape.

Turn up the delay and drift off into the drone."

CREATING HOWLING DRONES WITH THE CPM DF-8

video upload by Stylophone

"CREATING HOWLING DRONES WITH THE CPM DF-8

This month we’re celebrating drone music.

In this patch, we turn the CPM DF-8’s filter into an oscillator by feeding its output back into the cutoff. Using high resonance, Sample & Hold modulation and looping envelopes creates evolving, shifting drone textures with plenty of movement.

Add some delay to push the sound even further."

FILTER FM (STYLOPHONE PATCHBOOK 2.0) - CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH

video upload by Stylophone

"CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH
The FILTER FM patch works by moving Drone 1’s cutoff around at audio rate.
Start by turning down Drone 1 so we can just hear Drone 2.

Pitch Link is switched on, and the pitch is set to the middle. This means any changes to the pitch in Drone 1 will also be matched in Drone 2.

The output is set to a saw wave, and we’ve got the LFO linked to pitch, with the LFO depth turned up just slightly. This means the pitch will drift around a little bit.

Resonance is turned down and the cutoff is all the way open. This means we just get the raw output from Drone 2. Turn its volume all the way up, but plug in a patch cable — we’ll need this later.

Over on Drone 1, the pitch is set to 9 o’clock. We also have a saw wave selected, but the routing switch for the LFO is set to X-Wave. This stops it from affecting the pitch.

We’ve got the cutoff set to 12 o’clock and the resonance at 3, giving us quite a big resonant peak.

Now, when we plug the output of Drone 2 into the cutoff of Drone 1, the filter is going to get moved around at audio rate.

For a more extreme sound, try turning up the pitch LFO on Drone 2.

Also, add a bit of reverb.

DEMO #3 - STYLOPHONE OTF PERFORMANCE SEQUENCER

"Creating grooves with lots of movement is a doddle* on the OTF thanks to its Swing Knob. The length of notes on each step can be tweaked in with the knobs to give rhythms more feel.

very easy task"

DEMO #2 - STYLOPHONE OTF PERFORMANCE SEQUENCER

"Lots of variety can be added to simple patterns on the OTF using the Pattern Chain to play Pattern A and B in different orders and directions. Setting steps to Skip can change up the rhythm and groove quickly."

Stylophone On-The-Fly Performance Sequencer

video upload by Stylophone

"A hands-on sequencer built to be played, not just programmed

The latest edition to the Stylophone Pro Range turns pattern programming into a real-time performance. Every control responds instantly, letting you shape patterns with rhythm, pitch, and playing-style variations while the sequence is running — no menus, no stopping.

Program just 8 steps and instantly access multiple 16, 32 or 64-step patterns, switching between them on-the-fly or change direction without breaking the groove. Add glide, ratchets, rests, ties, or controlled randomness per step while the sequence is playing.

With full Eurorack CV, Gate, Sync, and MIDI connectivity, it integrates effortlessly into modular, MIDI, and hybrid setups — and scales up easily with more units into a multi-sequencer system.

Key Features
• Performance-focused 16, 32 or 64-step sequences with 8 live-switchable pattern chains each
• Instantly switchable sequence directions, Forward, Reverse, Bounce
• On-the-fly switching between 24 sequence memories with per-step pitch and duty cycle
• Hands-on control — tweak everything while playing
• Musical scale & transpose control (Knob, CV, or MIDI)
• Creative step effects: skip, rest, tie, glide, ratchet, random
• Manual performance button for instant fills and movement
• Groove controls: tempo, swing, lead/lag timing, note length, gate length (duty)
• Loop Record your performance up to 1024 steps
• Per-step gate outputs (8 separate gate outs plus the summed Gate Out)
• Eurorack-ready CV & Gate I/O plus MIDI & Sync
• Expandable system — link and sync multiple units for larger setups"

"We have a bit of fun and quirky Stylophone Theremin. While not a true theremin, it's fun and easy to play pitches via its antenna and independent slider control. Combined with modulation, vibrato, and delay, it can be used for all manner of strange, experimental, crunchy, funny, retro sci-fi, and other types of sounds. Even our cats have had fun with it!

Jamuary 11-01-26 - 2x CPM DS-2/DF-8/SQ-1 Minimal Techno

video upload by ChrisLody

"Hello, remember me? I'm still here 😄

I found time for a quick Jamuary jam today with two Stylophone CPM DS-2s and DF-8s. I make a bit of content for them so I've had these a while and I've been meaning to upload something using them. They're producing all the sound here including the percussion and the effects. The two Korg SQ-1 are both running in 2x 8 step mode for 4 full channels of sequencing. It's a bit restrictive with the SQ-1 but still fun!

I have an mmMidi module in my eurorack that has two CV and Gate outputs and is also expandable with an extra module to add drum style gates on a third midi channel. that would be an excellent way to sequence this with something like a Lofi-12 XT, but I don't have the expander yet, it's on the list 😅"
