Qu-Bit Electronix Stardust
Cosmic stereo tape looper for sonic exploration
18 HP Eurorack module
Stardust is a cosmic stereo tape looper that captures layers of audio to construct new sonic imagery. It focuses heavily on texture and vibe with nostalgic warmth controls, out-of-this-world DSP effects, and the ability to splice and rearrange loops like vintage tape machines. The module encourages sonic exploration and discovery within existing source material.
