Stylophone CPM DS-2 Analog Drone Synthesizer

Imagine holding a pocket-sized portal to infinite analog drones, where classic 3340 oscillators hum with the warmth of vintage chips, now reimagined for today's modular explorers.

This compact beast packs two paraphonic drone voices, each driven by a 3340 VCO with dynamic waveform blending, PWM, hard sync, and a sub-oscillator offering -1 and -2 octaves for thick low-end growl. Twin 3320 multimode filters deliver lowpass, highpass, and self-oscillating resonance with drive, shaped by the standout Ultra LFO—14 analog waveforms across two independent outputs with shared rate, routed via seven switches and five attenuverters or 12 Eurorack-compatible patch points. Vintage PT2399 delay with modulation pairs with eight AL3201 reverb algorithms (rooms, plates, halls) in an effects mixer featuring stereo aux in; route it all to dual stereo outs, headphone jack, or the built-in 2W speaker. At 213 x 38 x 128.5mm and 42HP wide, it's battery-powered (6x AA included) or mains-ready, perfect for desktop sketching or rack integration.

Early players are buzzing about its intuitive patchability and lush, evolving textures that punch way above its portable size, though some note the fixed layout rewards hands-on tweaking over menu-diving.
