4TOMS , deviant uses

"The Larix-Elektro 4TOMS is made to produce tom sounds...
But in fact, this module can do more !

Here some example of creative use of the 4TOMS.
mainly by using an audio signal for the Trig input.
- VCO into a Tom
- A Tom into another Tom
- Audio file into Toms
- Crossfeedback without anything else, between two Toms.

Hack the drums

"A full improvisation of modular synth and drawing.

Here, I'm using only (and really only, no more modules !) the Larix-Elektro 4TOMS in a unusual way: Like the 'No Input Mixing ' technique, this is here a 'no input drums' technique.
To be more precise, it's simply taking the input of one tom, and connecting it to the trig input of another tom... and crosspatching these two toms.
Noises, rhythmic loops, sub...etc.

Of course, after recording a long time of improvisation, I'm cutting and mixing together various moments of this improvisation.

The drawing was done without having thought about it before. I only knew that I wanted to start with the drawing of a drummer, and twist this drawing with reminiscence of modular synth elements."
