STRYMON / MAGNETO

STRYMON's Eurorack effects module features tape saturation, self-oscillator, pitch-shift delay, spring reverb, looper, phase sampler, infinite echo, reverse, and more.

■Eurorack Effects Module

Magneto transforms input signals into unpredictable sounds, transporting your sonic world to another dimension. Complex harmonic layers and complex rhythms unfold across the stereo image... Its tape-machine-inspired sound and controls inject vintage style and retro-futuristic soul into your Eurorack setup.

Tape Delay, Looper & More
Magneto is a powerful, intuitive Eurorack effects module featuring a stereo multi-head tape delay with looper, phase sampler, vintage spring reverb, and phase clock multiplier, plus an oscillator and zero-latency sub-oscillator. Its extensive CV I/O allows for intuitive playability.

Take Your Modular to the Next Level
Transform even simple mono signals into complex orchestrations. Magneto's self-oscillation makes this possible. The sound is warm and sweet, with a rich stereo field and subtle distortion reminiscent of tape. Magneto transforms a small rack unit into a richly expressive instrument.

Vintage Feel
The complexity and charm of vintage tape echo machines have been meticulously researched and faithfully recreated. Magneto faithfully recreates the beloved natural saturation of overdriven sounds, soft tape clipping, tape aging, wrinkles, and mechanical wow and flutter, breathing life and feeling into this rich-sounding multi-head delay.

Play It Like An Instrument.
Every function, control, gain stage, and signal path component seamlessly responds musically to even the most intense improvisational live modular setups. Plus, the great-sounding spring reverb takes your sound to a new level.

■Specifications
Sound Design
- Recreates a tape-voicing delay with four playback heads and one recording head.
- The high-speed dTape algorithm recreates the feel of a highly refined vintage tape echo system.
- Three operation modes: Echo, Sound-on-Sound Looper, and Phrase Sampler.
- Developed varispeed algorithm with dynamic machine mechanics (speed range 8:1).
- Input recording level settings provide a wide range of frequencies, from clean to fat saturation.
- Self-oscillating for tone generation.
- Independent spring reverb.

Controls
- Controls tape machine characteristics, mechanical condition, and tone: LOW CUT, TAPE AGE, CRINKLE, WOW & FLUTTER.
- Transport controls (buttons and CV inputs) are essential for real-time performance.
- Level control for each playback head.
- Feedback (REPEATS) can be assigned to each playback head.
- Choose from three different panning options.
Phase-aligned clock output (CLK OUT) synchronizes CV and input clock.
