Description
The Stylophone CPM DF-8 Modular Analog MultiFilter is made for creators who want a compact setup built for hands on exploration in studio and portable environments. A pair of contrasting filters sits at the heart of the unit. The 2045 circuit keeps things controlled and silky while the GEN R 8 filter introduces a more animated character. Eight filter types per channel plus three combination modes allow detailed sculpting across a wide range of tones. Two ADSR envelopes shape movement across the filters or VCAs. These can be triggered from gate signals an audio threshold a manual button or a looping mode that effectively turns each envelope into an LFO. White noise sources sample and hold with adjustable slew and a PT2399 delay add further tools for building shifting textures or sharper rhythmic effects. AA batteries external power or a Eurorack bus keep the DF-8 flexible. A built in speaker supports quick monitoring and stereo outputs fit neatly into larger rigs. Filters that encourage detailed exploration The DF-8 houses two filter channels each built to cover a broad range of tones. The 2045 circuit maintains a calm and rounded response that works well for controlled lowpass shaping. The GEN R 8 circuit offers a more spirited voice that feels lively when resonance is pushed. Each channel includes lowpass bandpass highpass and notch modes plus three additional combination types that create extended responses for broader sculpting. This range makes it simple to form subtle shifts or bold peaks and both filters react accurately to modulation so crafted movements remain clear within a mix. Envelope control that adapts to many setups Two ADSR envelopes sit at the centre of the modulation system. Each can be triggered by a gate input by incoming audio by a manual button or by an auto repeat mode that loops the envelope continuously. When looping is active the envelope behaves like an LFO and can create rhythmic pulses or slow evolving patterns that follow the attack and release curves. Both linear and exponential responses help shape the timing to match the character of a patch. Envelope signals can drive filters or VCAs which supports more voice like behaviour inside a compact enclosure and this helps the DF-8 act as both a processor and a sound source. Creative tools for unpredictable textures Two white noise sources introduce grain air or percussive bite. These can be mixed in gently or pushed for heavier textures. Sample and hold with adjustable slew creates stepped or smoothed random movement suited to evolving lines. The PT2399 delay adds a vintage style crunch that pairs well with modulated filters and rhythmic sequences. Short repeats can create sharp accents while longer repeats can smear tones into atmospheric pads. Each element encourages open ended experimentation and the combination of noise modulation and delay makes it simple to build patches that feel alive. Portable format built for flexible expansion Power options include AA batteries an external supply or a Eurorack connector which keeps the DF-8 adaptable across different environments. A built-in speaker allows quick monitoring and stereo outputs suit headphones or line level destinations. The enclosure features ribbed sides that allow multiple CPM units to lock together to form a larger system without extra stands or brackets. Additional CPM units can create a compact modular environment suited to live sets studio sessions or mobile sound design and the DF-8 integrates naturally into these setups thanks to its clear layout and varied patch points.
