STEREO DRADD is an experimental time-based audio processor for the eurorack system. The module can stretch, bend and invert time through granular synthesis, modified sample playback and tapped delay lines. Intended as a tool for adding synthetic and unnatural ambiance/coloration to your synth patches.

2. Two Pladask Elektrisk Dradds In Stereo
Y'all, we've got a barn-burner today. This video could very well open up an Ambient Singularity: we've got potted plants, soft sounds, and a stereo pair of Pladask Electrisk DRADD modules.

The scientists said it couldn't be done. Said it was cosmologically and fiscally irresponsible. But I told them that Youtube had a right to know. So you're welcome, internet.

Ok but for reals: I didn't plan for this to be a YouTube video, but the jam was enjoyable and ran on for a bit and there are no other examples of two DRADDs running in stereo out there, so I figured why not publish this.

The sound source is Ableton's "collision" instrument, being sent out to the modular as an external effect. We start in mode 3 on Dradd, then switch to mode 1, and end on mode 2. Various clock speeds are used. POS1 and POS2 are being modulated by Just Friends. The whole thing is being glue together by Sealegs in ping pong mode, which takes some of the hard panning out of the equation.

I actually think this sounds really nice, and will probably leave these both in the case.
3. Dradd | Eurorack | Demonstration
A longer demo video today, showing the Pladask Elektrisk Dradd eurorack module.

This is basicly knobturning the Dradd module while a S&H from Dreadbox Dystopia 1v/o into Instruo Tona and S&H trigger goes into Befaco Rampage to trigger the envelope.the oscilator then goes into a Forbidden Planet Filter in LP mode to cut the very high pitches. Then into Dradd and later in the video into Erica Black Hole DSP for added reverb. But first all three different modes of Dradd with mix at roughtly 50/50 (noon).

Please follow the chapters for the different modes and the text in the video show the manual for the mode being explored.

00:00 - Grain Mode
04:54 - TDL Mode
12:50 - Tape Mode
18:25 - Grain Mode w/reverb
21:23 - TDL Mode w/reverb
25:50 - Tape Mode w/reverb
