Eurorack Cosmic Tape Looper

Q-Bit Electronix has announced availability of Stardust which they say turns to the stars as inspiration for its introduction as a cosmic tape looper that energises interaction with recorded audio in the Eurorack format. They tell us that this follows on from an impressive legacy of DSP audio buffer processors by building upon what made the likes of the self-styled 'Future Coast' modular synth-maker's Daisy platform-based Data Bender, Mojave, Nautilus, and Nebulae modules make musical waves as industry-leading devices. This is what they have to say about it...

Meet Stardust, a cosmic tape looper. Much like the cacophony of galaxies, supernovas, and stars we find in our own celestial canvas, Stardust captures layers of audio to construct new sonic imagery, and finds ways to take the esoteric, and make it concrète.

The foundation of Stardust is a stereo looper with all the essential controls to record and manipulate sound, while supporting click-less looping transitions, an ultra-low noise floor, and high-fidelity audio hardware. However, getting the perfect loop is only half of the equation - Stardust also focuses on the texture and vibe of your recordings. Dial in nostalgic warmth with wow & flutter / tape hiss controls, or take Stardust to new horizons with out-of-this-world DSP effects. And, much like the tape-machines of yore, Stardust can splice and rearrange its loops at the twist of a knob.

With an impressive set of front panel controls, the ability to save, recall, or export recordings, load samples via an included USB flash drive, and a host of configurable settings via our web editor Narwhal, Stardust is an all-encompassing looper device. Reach out into the vast unknown, one overdub at a time.
