Erae Sound Tutorial #1 — Getting Started

video upload by embodme

"Erae Sound is our MPE software synthesizer designed specifically for Erae 2. Each preset combines a sound and a dedicated layout, sent directly to your Erae and ready to play.

This first tutorial gives you a complete overview of the instrument and covers the essential concepts you need to start using Erae Sound: the two sound generators, oscillator and filter routing, the FX section, the modulation matrix, editing shortcuts, and the connection between instruments, layouts and projects in Erae Lab.

You’ll also learn how to assign gestures and modulation sources to parameters, cross-modulate envelopes and LFOs, import generators or FX from other presets, edit a layout and save it with an instrument, and use Sync to recall instruments directly from your Erae.

A practical starting point for Erae Sound owners who want to understand the workflow and begin creating their own playable instruments."

ERAE Sound — A Taste of What's Inside | Preset Snippets

video upload by embodme

"Each sound you hear is a complete instrument: a preset and a surface layout designed together. Not a demo patch. Not a preset bank. A different way to play every time.

83 instruments total. This is a few of them."

Top video description & details:

"The first synthesizer designed for an expressive surface. Not adapted — built from scratch.

ERAE Sound pairs every sound with a dedicated surface layout. 83 complete instruments, each with its own voice, its own feel, its own way of being played. Slide, press, brush, damp — the sound follows your intention in real time.

No setup. No mapping. No friction. Just play.

Sean R McKee - Illumatone Forest - Lumatone Performance

video upload by Sean McKee

"Music video for an instrumental song featuring the Lumatone Isomorphic Keyboard, Michael Barton Art custom 'Leo' bass, Strandberg guitar. Synth sounds from GS Music e7 [all the solo synth sounds], Hydrasynth Deluxe, sound effects with Erae Touch 2. All parts played by Sean R McKee.

All the videos I’ve seen of Lumatone were performed solo, with most exploring microtonality. I wanted to put Lumatone in a 'band' setting with a traditional Western tuning."

Erae Arpeggiator | MPE Polyphonic Control & Pressure-Mapped Speed

video upload by embodme

"Discover the new Arpeggiator on the Erae — where MPE polyphony meets expressive control.
With independent velocity and pressure tracking per note, every chord becomes alive, each voice shaped uniquely as you play.

But that’s not all: a novel performance feature lets you map arpeggio rate (or note repeat speed) directly to pressure. This means you can accelerate or slow down the pattern seamlessly, just by pressing deeper — merging rhythm and expression like never before.

Perfect for dynamic live sets and explorative studio sessions, this update transforms the arpeggiator into a true performance instrument."
