Stylophone CPM DF-8

This cutting-edge filter unit combines the precision of a smooth analog recreation of the classic 2045 Lowpass filter with the bold, dynamic character of Stylophone’s proprietary GEN R-8 filter. Dubbed “Beauty and the Beast,” the DF-8 offers unparalleled flexibility. The 2045 filter delivers a silky 24 dB/octave Lowpass mode, while the GEN R-8 snarls and howls in all four modes—Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, and Notch. Together, these filters unlock three additional combination types: Bandpass+, Band Reject+, and a wide Notch+ mode, providing an expansive palette of unique filter sounds. 

The DF-8 is so much more than a dual filter box—it’s a complete sound design tool. Equipped with two white noise sources, a sample-and-hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation, it serves as a versatile sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all-out sonic chaos. Like all CPM units, the DF-8 is designed for portability and flexibility.
