What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

General

Developed in collaboration with 112dB.com, the Erica Synths Steampipe is all about physical modelling, or more specifically: Karplus-Strong string synthesis. That means that instead of classic sawtooth waveforms and filters, you'll basically be using extensive delay lines to create the sound of plucked strings or, with a tweak or two, convincing wind instrument sounds.

The Erica Synths Steampipe

There aren't many physical modelling bits of kit out there, let alone units that offer polyphonic sound. The Steampipe, however, has an eight-voice polyphony. What's also pretty sweet is that it comes with a fat reverb effect that, combined with the internal sound engine, is perfect for generating washy soundscapes. The large number of knobs on the face of this synth is also a dead giveaway that the sound-shaping potential is huge, so expect extensive modulation options and numerous adjustable settings.

Who's It For?

The Erica Synths Steampipe may feature some acoustic elements (it actually supports overblowing) but it's still a synthesizer and not a real wind instrument, meaning it hasn't been designed for wind instrument sounds for virtual orchestrations. The unique synth-style timbre does lend itself to experimental sound design and is a great choice for anyone who prefers a hands-on approach, polyphonic sound and comprehensive options.

Erica Synths Steampipe Physical Modelling Synthesizer

Ça fait pas mal de temps que j'avais envie de compléter mes synthé par un synthé à modélisation physique, et mon choix à été sur ce modèle Erica Synths, je l'adore, c'est vraiment de grande qualité. Je referais ce choix sans hésiter.
