This Tiny Synthesizer Runs On Pure Light | Solarix Demo

video upload by Sid Rockett

"Introducing Solarix a tiny, self-powered synthesizer featuring an integrated solar cell that runs completely on light. No batteries, no USB power, and no external power supply needed.

In this video, we test Solarix to see how ambient light and shadows dynamically alter its pitch, rhythm, and sonic textures. As light intensity changes, the circuit reacts in real time, turning photons into raw analog chirps, evolving drones, and rhythmic glitches.

⏱️ Chapters:
0:00 - Intro: Meet Solarix
4:10 - Solarix Sound Demo & Light Modulation
6:25 - Running Solarix through Reverb & Delay
3:00 - Outro

👇 Gear & Setup:
Synth: Solarix Solar-Powered Synthesizer
Audio Recorder: [Insert Recorder Name]
Effects Used: [Insert Reverb/Delay Pedal or FX, if any]

Reflection 2.4: modular DAW records Metasurface gestures, adds chaos modulation

Reflection DAW Showcase - Videos created by our users

Tips and Tricks

video uploads by ReflectionDAW

"Reflection 2.4 is out. Reflection is an independent modular DAW and plugin host hand-coded in C++, for Windows, macOS and Linux.

THE METASURFACE, NOW WITH TAKES
Snapshot every parameter in the whole rig, place the snapshots on a 2D surface, and drag between them. The entire setup, plugins included, morphs in one gesture. New in 2.4, that gesture can be recorded as a take and played back in 16 slots: loop, reverse, palindrome, speed and follow actions, synced to the transport.

DIY LAB, NOW WITH CHAOS
Build your own modules from 60+ blocks and bake them into a single node. 2.4 adds a Strange Attractor with 11 shapes drawn live, a Chaos Oscillator, and Boids flocking as modulation you can wire to anything.

€100 perpetual, all 2.x updates included, no subscription, no telemetry. The free 45-day demo has every instrument and effect."
