NEW! EXPERT SLEEPERS PANDORA EURORACK MODULE

video upload by DivKid

"'Pandora' is a bandpass filter/distortion processor, based on an unusual combination of power MOSFET transistors and vactrols. Voltage control is provided over the two sides of the filter, the gain, and the filter feedback. A wet/dry mixer is provided, also under voltage control.

A range switch is provided to drop the filter response several octaves, at which point the module becomes capable of synthesising percussion sounds when fed trigger pulses.

The module is 100% analogue.

MSRP: UK £189 (inc VAT), US $199 (exclusive of sales tax), EU €179.80 (exclusive of VAT)"

Hybrid Ambient / Upbeat Ableton & Eurorack Piece. (Expert Sleepers ES-9, CV Tools)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thank you for tuning in!
Using the Expert Sleepers ES-9, I was able to marry eurorack and Ableton in a way that allowed me to record a portion of the Ableton Project's midi files using CV Instrument CV/Gate Outputs straight into different oscillators and envelope generators, and then back into Ableton as an audio input. As a result, the eurorack parts can become a real-time part of the pre-composed music. I'm just trying new things as much as I can. Cheers;)

Thanks for watching!
I decided to try some of the features of my new Expert Sleepers ES-9 Module, and using the Ableton CV Instrument tool, I managed to send CV/Gate info from MIDI directly through the ES-9 and into various oscillators, and back into the interface to record. It was split into 4 monophonic voices, and I was using Plum Audio's OCP (Ornament & Crime Plus) module's 4xEG mode, for the Envelope Generator. You can see the triggers of the notes by the flashing of the Analogue Solutions LED CV Cables, which is also a recent addition to me trying to make my videos look like Richard Devine's :)

EXPERT SLEEPERS | Lorelei - VCO Voltage Controlled Oscillator

video upload by DANIELE

"Lorelei is a versatile oscillator by Expert Sleepers with quadrature sine outputs, waveshaping and sync/cross-modulation options.

From the manual:

Cross-modulation/sync: in a common-or-garden ramp-based analogue VCO, oscillator sync works by resetting the ramp integrator based on the frequency of the syncing signal. Lorelei works quite diferently, though similar efects can be obtained. In Lorelei, the sync input essentially prevents the oscillator from oscillating when the input is above a certain voltage (around 3.3V), but this is not an on-of thing – the efect gradually applies as the voltage increases. The upshot of this is that smooth waveforms (e.g. sine or triangle) for the syncing input produce a diferent efect to, say, square or pulse waveforms. Also, when using a pulse wave as the sync input, the pulsewidth of the signal also afects the result quite drastically."

disting EX - Tracker, live

video upload by Expert Sleepers

"People asked for a demo of the new Tracker algorithm tracking live audio instead of samples, so here's me playing my bass clarinet through it.

Clarinet into Little Mikey, into disting EX running Tracker. CV/envelope from that into another disting EX running the Poly Wavetable algorithm (using the CV/Pressure input option).

First a couple of phrases using the tracked pitch, then I change the output to be a harmony CV so the synth voice is a third above the clarinet."

Allinaire Strakt SeenSound - Live Generative Video, Eurorack & Moog Minitaur

video upload by Allinaire

"Live at SeenSound / Vitalise Crosspollination gig, Petersham (Sydney) on 23rd April 2022
(Thanks to Mark Pedersen & Brigid Burke - https://seensound.com & https://vimeo.com/chailight )

Allinaire performing as 1/2 of the duo ‘Strakt’ - A live and extended performance mix of the track ‘292.12 Induced psychotic disorder, with hallucinations’ from the album ‘Diagnoses’, available on Blurred.Vision. https://www.blurred.vision

‘Strakt’ is a collaboration between Fremantle based musician and producer -1 and Sydney based Allinaire. https://www.blurred.vision/artists/st...

Allinaire is playing live audio and generating live video simultaneously via a hacked and customised Max-for-Live video patch. All the geometric video is created live in response to the audio and various modulation. Additional prepared and added video (madness head shots) includes Vector Rescanning by Allinaire using an LZX system and an Oscilloscope.
Live video mixing and additional video on the day by VJ ATMM (includes partial treated excerpts of the short ‘Forever’ by Mitch Mcglocklin which uses LIDAR scanning tech)

Audio is produced using a eurorack system including a Pittsburgh Lifeforms primary Oscillator sequenced via the Mac through an Expert Sleepers ES-9, also featuring a Make Noise Morphagene and other modules. Baseline is the Moog Minitaur. Various other sounds and percussion via Mac Ableton devices manipulated and mixed by Midi controllers Softube Console 1 Fader and the Faderfox UC4.

I've been experimenting over the years with many types of modular and hardware setups for live performance - this is a first 'proof of concept' Live set utilising a Laptop (often controversial!) with outboard dedicated gear to handle audio and live video simultaneously which maintains the ability to be creative in structure, composition and live timbre manipulation - hopefully also allowing for the happy accidents that occur when playing live, as well as the adrenaline and fear of total collapse to keep it honest :-)"

Live toolkit: MIDI to CV with Expert Sleepers ES-3 & ES-5 (in depth How-Tos)

via ty hodson @ sublevel9 lab:

"I completed a series of deep-dive articles on using Expert Sleepers' ES-3 & Voice Controller plugin and the ES-5 & ES-5 Controller plugin with Ableton Live -- with particular focus on understanding signal flow with these modules and plugins. I would've loved having something like this when I was getting started with Expert Sleepers, so hopefully this'll be a welcome source of info for newcomers.

In addition to written explanations, each post includes downloadable Live sets with fully working configurations. All you need to do is adjust the track inputs/outputs for your setup.
Screenshots are provided for reference as well if you'd rather work from those.

Super Disting EX in Dual Mode is Incredibly Powerful

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) demonstrates using the Expert Sleepers Disting EX in dual mode. The Disting EX offers a dual mode which turns the module into 2 Distings which can be controlled separately. Using the module in dual mode allows you to build complex and powerful combinations to get just about any eurorack job done.

Learn more about the Super Disting EX here: https://bit.ly/expert_sleepers_distin...

The disting EX is a multifunction Eurorack module, building on the rich legacy of the previous disting incarnations, which can operate as:
-two souped-up disting mk4s, or as
-a single powerful module in its own right.

Fully DC-coupled, all inputs and outputs can be CVs or audio, depending on the selected function. The functions on offer include audio processing (filters, delays etc.), CV processing and generation (quantizers, pattern generators etc.), oscillators (VCOs, LFOs etc.), and sample playback.

Brand new features for the disting EX include an eight voice polyphonic sample (WAV) player, a powerful stereo tape delay (based on our own Augustus Loop), and a dedicated WAV recorder mode.

When acting as two disting mk4s, the disting EX offers these advantages:
-Higher sample rate (96kHz)
-Much more RAM (so all delays, reverbs etc. can be much longer)
-Lower latency when triggering samples (now 700µs)
And of course, an OLED display.

disting EX external display prototype

video upload by Expert Sleepers

"An experimental project to add an external display to a disting EX. The display module is one of these:

https://www.buydisplay.com/arduino-2-...

It's mounted on a little PCB to fit the 1U Eurorack format, and connected to the disting EX via DuPont cables. The cables attach to the disting EX expansion header intended for the FHX expanders.

I'm gauging interest in making this available as a (very simple) kit or possibly just selling the PCB."

Two by Four //Subharmonicon/Mother 32/Plaits/Rings/Tides/Mimeophon/Magneto//

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"The fun part about this patch is that all of the pitch sequencing comes from the Moog Subharmonicon. Including the bass line. Subharmonicon starts doing its thing with the two four note sequences. It goes through Make Noise Mimeophon to double up the polyrhythm pattern. Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of sequence one, while Mutable Instruments Plaits (in a Rings-ish voice) follows sequence two. Moog Mother 32 samples and holds a pitch from sequence two at random intervals. Both sequences run into Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 in min/max mode. Mutable Instruments Tides and Make Noise STO double up on the base line, which is the min value of the two sequences, periodically switching to the max value (when it sounds like it goes to the 4 chord). The overall mix sequencing is handled by Malekko Voltage Block, with 2x Make Noise Maths controlling the slow fade between settings.

Also starring Intellijel Steppy sequencing Mosaic drum modules, XAOC Zadar and Qu-Bit Chance for modulation, Mutable Instruments Stages for some LFOs, Strymon Magneto on Plaits, and Chase Bliss Mood and Happy Nerding FX Aid on Mother 32."
