LXR-02 gets Xeno'ed (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"In the last video I had the DB-01 going into the Nightverb reverb and then into the Xenodrive. This time it's a more conventional routing of the LXR-02 into the Xenodrive and then into the Nightverb. With the Nightverb early reflections, a little pre-delay and a careful amount of shape,it sudden;y came together. I was setting up for a completely different video idea but just had to capture this instead.

It's not all happy accidents though. First I tried Echolocator feedback into the Xeno and then Nightverb. Mildly interesting but even the Xeno couldn't rip the Echo feedback apart. And that's how it goes sometimes - you set everything up, twiddle up to 11 and you draw a blank. Sometimes I'll chew on it for days before admitting it was a rotten idea. I wasted the best part of two weeks recently on a looper pedal I bought and just couldn't get a single thing out of it. So sometimes when I don't post a video for a couple of weeks it's not because I'm too busy with cocktails and cigars, it's because my latest great idea just didn't produce anything worth your time.

Hopefully you'll agree that this little experiment with the LXR-02 was worthwhile. The LXR-02 remains one of my favorite machines. It has its flaws and is still desperately in need of another firmware update but I think it's a brilliant machine. Six assignable LFOs and multiple filters, deep editing and a tiny footprint: So much to love.

If this were a final production drum track I would definitely add a deep and clean bass drum from Hexdrums, but as usual I like to keep things well defined. Adding an external bassdrum would sound better but then you wouldn't be hearing pure LXR-02 / Xeno / Nightverb. My aim is to show you possibilities.

From Magazines to MASSIVE MODULAR // Erica Synths Elektor Formant

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The legendary Elektor Formant DIY modular synth from the 1970s is back — and this time it’s beautifully recreated by Erica Synths. In this in-depth demo and review, I explore the history of the original magazine-built Formant, the DIY ethos behind it, and how this modern recreation captures that vintage analogue modular magic.

Originally released as a self-build project through Elektor magazine, the Formant required builders to etch their own PCBs, source components, and assemble modules like the VCO, VCF, envelopes and more. It was true synth-nerd dedication. Now, Erica Synths has made that iconic system accessible again — without the UV PCB lab in your garage.

In this video:

Reverb into waveshaping

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A single oscillator into reverb and then distortion and waveshaping - I thought the result might be a serving of noise mush. Instead I think it turned out surprisingly well defined. Sometimes it felt like a massive unison patch, othertimes like a wonderfully unstable test tone. All up a type of tone salad that I find satisfying to twiddle and relaxing to listen to.

The sidequest here ended with 'fluctiphile' - a word I've coined from the Latin "fluctus" meaning billow, flow or wave in motion and the Greek "phile" meaning love of or fond of. So "fluctiphile" is a lover of waveforms. An outrage that no such term was available. So the next time you're showing someone the wonders of a modulated square wave, or a perfect sine, and they express their appreciation you can then congratluate them on their good taste as a fellow fluctiphile.

Techno Live Jam - 140 | Tonverk meets Perkons HD-01

video upload by Mark Cee

"What heck, was feeling 140 today and thought about running Perkons main out into one input on Tonverk and the main send out into the other Tonverk input. Tonverk provides the FX Chain. Now I just move the sends on each Voice on Perkons. The vast amount of routing options and FX in Tonverk make it a pedal killer as well. It does a lot. Massive utility.

Perk still my favorite off all time."

Building music. Cable by cable. | Ģirts Ozoliņš | TEDxRiga

video upload by TEDx Talks

Spotted this one searching the TEDx Talks channel for the recently taken down Sounds of Tomorrow video. I'm not finding this one with Ģirts of Erica Synths on the site, so up it goes. Note it's from 2019 and an interesting look back on the time.

Video description:
"Instruments can open a world of opportunity for creative expression. And when that instrument is a synthesizer, that opportunity becomes nearly limitless. What does it take to open the floodgates of creative exploration? In the mind of Girts Ozolins, it takes making musical instruments more accessible to the masses. Girts' interest in electronics, electronic music and synthesizers developed when he was only twelve years old. Now he is a founder of Erica Synths, a successful company that develops, manufactures, and exports electronic music instruments. They are used by thousands of people around the world — some worth mentioning include Martin Gore from the English electronic band Depeche Mode and the famous German composer Hans Zimmer.
Erica Synths' main export products are modular synthesizers — they're played in every corner of the world, covering every continent except Antarctica.
Girts strongly believes that electronic music technologies are the best combination of creativity and engineering. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx"
