Echo Fix EF-X3 - Five Synth Sketches with Tape

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Five song sketches featuring the EF-X3 tape delay, chorus, and reverb.

00:00 - Ambient, with Take 5
02:57 - Drums, with LXR-02
05:47 - Brooding, with SH-101
07:20 - Acid, with TT-303
09:41 - Ambient, with MS-20

Fair warning: MAS Distribution sent over the EF-X3 for me, not quite for free (I had to pay some significant customs/duty/taxes from the border) but for far less than the full retail price.

Here, I explore the Echo Fix EF-X3, a real tape delay with analog chorus and spring reverb. My favourite feature of the EF-X3 is that it has discrete outputs for each of the four tape heads plus another output for chorus/reverb, which means you can get some incredibly stereo tape delay mixes with it. Here, I usually panned two heads full left/right, and two heads 50% left/right, with the dry out and chorus output slightly panned and near centre. Ages ago, I had an Akai Headrush and I always loved having such a ludicrous amount of outputs; it's exactly the same delight here.

But I have to say, using a real tape delay is unlike any digital emulation I've tried. It's less behaved and has more texture than I had expected. And while it shouldn't matter, seeing the tape running is a thrill. It's an incredible physical presence on the table, super solid and with beautiful wood on the sides.

No one needs a real tape delay, of course, just like no one needs an analog synth and no one needs hardware. But for someone who has loved those records with long, cascading tape delays, for someone who loves the physicality of hardware, I've felt incredibly lucky to have the EF-X3 up on the table.

Thanks for listening.

Recorded to a DAW as a multi-track (dry channel, chorus/reverb channel, and channels for each of the heads) and mixed afterward. No external effects on the sound. EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

OB-6 Synthesizer with Echolocator

video upload by Brian Schaft

"The OB6 Synthesizer has the ability to make wonderful deep plucky sounds as well as smooth pads. I used the Echolocator, made by erica synths, for all the effects, including the shimmery sound. Despite the OB having a decent on-board BBD delay, I found this combination is a symbiotic pair."

"I bought a Move. Here's a quick overview of how I used it with my modular to build this track • Endogenous - dark ambient ritual psychedel...

TLDR: The Move is great. Works really well using the Intellijel MIDI 1U via USB to sync the modular to the Move and send a channel of pitch, gate & velocity.
Let me know if you have any questions on the set up.

Good news for LXR-02 owners (now let's list bugfix & feature requests)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Although the recent 1.07 firmware update was just a maintenance release it's far more significant than an assortment of bugfixes. Instead of having to wait for the Great Eye of the original LXR developer to fall upon the LXR-02, Erica Synths can now do updates in-house.

So rather than feeling this wondrous little machine has been forgotten, this is a reason for great optimism for more development. Erica Synths surely wouldn't go to the effort of taking over development just to then shelf it all again.

Here I look at the main new feature which is parameter lock value display, which is an excellent excuse to look at how parameter locks work in general.

For the future I'd like to see song mode fixed; the delay effects get proper tempo sync options; and the lighting changed on the buttons so you can see which patterns are empty and which have data.

Perhaps this may be a good place to put your bugfix and feature requests...

Plasma Voice: An Electro and an Industrial noodle (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"As my grandmother used to advise: 'They can't shoot you for asking'. So I asked GamechangerAudio if they might send me a Plasma Voice module - and here it is.

It's easy to get started - just send it a trigger or a MIDI sequence (MIDI adaptor cable is included). From there you can get as complex as you like. In the first noodle the DB-01 is sending it a basic pattern and the Plasma Voice and DB-01 are doubled up playing it. Some synced LFO CV is switching voices in the bass and lead category. My daughter pulled a face when she heard me editing this and said it sounded 'loose', so I added some drums in the DAW. And then a few extra vocal samples for seasoning.

CV comes from the SPC Neptune 8-LFO module (currently in development). This is an early prototype but is just the thing for sending lots of synced modulation. The Plasma Voice loves being fed.

The second piece is pure Plasma Voice fed into the Nightverb. Quotes are from the original 1938 Halloween broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Again lots of CV tweaking the core sounds.

As usual the sound is not subsequently modified, EQed or processed in any way in the DAW (except the added drums in Noodle 1).

Gamechanger Audio - FX pedal

SOLAR 42 is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music.

Modulating Echolocator with Digitone II #techno

Summer 😎 (Moog Minitaur + Boum // LXR 02 // Nymphes + S 1 + Timeline // Streichfett // Keystep Pro)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Last 'long' video before a summer break (I'll be eventually uploading some 'Shorts' during July 😉)

It's been quite some time that I didn't make a "from scratch" video, so here we go again! (See all my "From scratch" videos) [embed below]

On the setup side on the sequencer (Keystep Pro), before recording:
I defined the tempo and number of bars of each track
I setup the scale (Dorian)
I setup the tracks I wanted to be transposed in real-time (tracks 2 = Minitaur and 3 = Streichfett).

The video starts with the recording on Track 2, of the BASS line (Moog - Minitaur), then on Track 3 the CHORDS/STRINGS (Waldorf - Streichfett), on Track 1 the DRUMS (Sonic Potions x Erica Synths - LXR-02), on Track 4 the ARP (Dreadbox - Nymphes + Strymon Timeline delay).
I recorded part of the DRUMS in real-time, and the KICK in step mode (hence being able to setup randomness on some steps and conditions too, i.e. the step plays on the fourth time it's triggered only...)"
