Stylophone CPM DF-8 Analog Dynamic Multi-Filter Coming To 2025 NAMM Show
Ahead of the 2025 NAMM Show, Stylophone has introduced the CPM DF-8 Analog Dynamic Multi-Filter, the second in their Compact Portable Modular line.
It joins the Stylophone DS-2 Analog Drone Synth, introduced last year, around this time.

What they have to say about the Stylophone CPM DF-8:
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.
Both filter channels have all eight filter types and are controlled by two full ADSR envelopes with multiple trigger modes to cater for every need. They can be triggered by a gate signal, by an audio signal threshold, by a manual trigger button and they can even auto-repeat in a loop mode acting as LFOs.
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 & Hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation, it serves as a sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all out sonic chaos.
