Blue Lantern Modules Dwarf Star
Complete analog semi-modular synthesizer with vintage delay
20 HP Eurorack module
The Dwarf Star Synthesizer is a semi-modular analog synthesizer with a complete signal path already hardwired internally for immediate use without patching. Features dual triangle-core VCOs with unique sync characteristics, multimode filter, stereo delay effects, and comprehensive modulation sources including two envelopes and dual LFOs.
Features
- Triangle-core VCOs with unique sync

- Stereo bucket-brigade delay emulation
- Two looping envelope generators
- Dual LFOs with sample and hold
- Semi-modular design with internal patching
- Subharmonic generators
- CMOS noise generator
- Euro-compatible CV inputs/outputs
Controls & Jacks (31)
- Pitch— Controls the pitch shift amount applied to the delayed signal.
- Time R— Sets the delay time for the right channel.

- Clip— LED indicator that lights when the signal is clipping.
- RCV LVL
- Mix— Controls the balance between the dry input signal and the wet effects signal.
- ICY LVL— Controls the output level of the ICY (delay/chorus) effect.
