De La Mancha Styrofoam: Get The Square-Wave Without All That Crappy Vibrato

August 19, 2008
de la mancha styrofoam released

Demonstrating rebellion against things that decompose, de la Mancha releases styrofoam. It is an emulation and an homage to the Stylophone analog synthesizer that Rolf Harris endorsed.

This plugin focuses in on the monophonic square-wave while doing away with the "crappy vibrato" which de la Mancha stresses "was, let's face it, crap." This square-wave, however, is what de la Mancha boasts is the real deal. It'll have you waving goodbye to your other waves.

Here is a list of some of the features from styrofoam, but mostly the features it doesn't have. This is also a list of reasons why I love de la mancha.

  • One waveform, but a mighty fine one
  • No GUI controls at all
  • Four presets, covering the full range of cleanliness
  • TruANALĀ® technology used to provide authentic pitch variation
  • No filters
  • No envelopes
  • No LFOs
  • No mod matrices
  • No crappy vibrato
