ORIGAMI + UNDULA DRONE

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"During Synthfest 2026, I gave a presentation of my latest modules, then an improvisation.
The video is already online here: [embed below]

And I take this opportunity to thank the wonderful team of @SynthFestFrance once again !

Of course, I am not happy with my performance. But how could it be otherwise: thinking demo and then music, anyway...
But in the end, upon re-listening, it's not so catastrophic.

Here is another attempt, not necessarily better by the way, but which also features the latest version of the ORIGAMI prototype, and the MACRO modules.
The patch is almost identical, with the ORIGAMI entering in stereo into the UNDULA, serving here as a filter.
The result is a drone evolving very gradually. Sub to noise.
No added FX, and barely any processing for the YouTube upload. Listenable on headphones for the stereo and the sub-bass ;)

Special thanks to the airplane that made repeated flyovers above me at the beginning of the recording !"

Eurorack - Soft sound. Some tips

"We're using the DUAL UNDULA to make Noise music, also to simulate acid sounds. But can it be gentle, soft, smooth ??? YES ! of course.
Here some examples…

Synth tip with Eurorack: TRICOMP as a sequencer

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"One more idea of use with a comparator modules:
Yes, it can be used as a 4 steps sequencer.
And the time position of each steps are freely adjustable, with the full loop that stays in sync. Another way to make some swing ;)

Also anothe Opportunity to listen to the DULA UNDULA OSCILLATOR.

"Ok, I'm missing the day...
Can the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR be an acid machine ?

It is up to you to judge...
But here is how to proceed.
A good opportunity to remind that the module's oscillators can work as filters"

"Yes, another use of comparator modules:
With a bit of fine adjustement, you can build a frequency multiplier.
...well in fact, for saw wave ;)

Larix Elektro CV GENERATOR / interesting stepped cv generator / all (?) the patterns

video upload by BRiES

"Due to endless possible permutations of the patterns with different combinations of settings for pattern length, variation, algorithm flavor... it's impossible to show ALL of the possible melody (or general CV) patterns. Instead I showed all of the basic patterns and at least some of the possible variations so you get an idea of what this module is capable of.

Thanks to Larix Elektro for sending these modules for me to try out."

Synth tip with Eurorack: Waveshaping with the TRICOMP

"On previous videos, I was explaining how to use the TRICOMP to make complexe PWM.
And also to create out of the grid (but synced) rhythmic pattern.
Now a small classical tip on how to shape a triangle wave with a comparator.

Dangerous Noise Box - Modular synth exploration

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Let's see if we can make a lot of noise with the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR. And actually, it works really well!

Since the module has plenty of input and output points, it's possible to create all sorts of different feedbacks. And therefore lots of strange sounds. From clicks to white noise, and all kinds of crackles!
And since originally, the waveform of the oscillator is a sine wave, you can easily go from a very soft sound to something very aggressive!

The video is divided into 2 parts:
An explanation of the patch.
Two improvisations with this patch.

Well, OK, this is the first video where I speak.
Please be lenient about the quality of my English....
Promise, next time, I’ll do better!"

"a little trip with the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR.

A few days ago, it snowed.
A good opportunity to try something calmer and more relaxing...

All the sounds are produced by the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR only.
(yes, of course, with delay and reverb...)
And all sequences are generated with the RITOURNELLE module familly.
Absolutly nothing more.

Enjoy :)"

Complexe PWM with the TRICOMP - Eurorack module

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"After a comparison with the TIME-SHIFTER (see the last video) [posted here], let's go back to the TRICOMP alown, this time at audio rate.
The basis for creating a square wave signal is to use a comparator, starting from a sawtooth or triangle wave. Ok, this is in all synths…
But what can you do with 3 comparators, along with a whole logic circuit connecting them? ...not to mention, if you only get pulses…

In short, a few examples of using the TRICOMP to make PWM a bit richer and more complex than usual.

Thanks to the excellent ROSSUM TRIDENT, which served as my sound source.

TRICOMP vs TIME SHIFTER - 2 way to add groove

"Well, the two modules can do the same things:
triggering sounds out of the grid.

But in a different way, with a different result. Depending on your need.

This is a quick video, with a small except of an impro with all LE modules, at the end of the video.
Of couse, we speak about Eurorack modules. From Larix-Elektro.

WHAT'S THAT THING ?

TRI for Trigger or for Three (!)
COMP for comparator.

It's a module that transforms any signal into triggers and gate signals.

The TRICOMP has 2 sections:
- The first generates triggers (hence the name)
- The second generates classic ON/OFF signals (GATE) combining the configuration of the 3 comparators.

The Triggers section:
When the input signal exceeds the threshold set by the associated potentiometer, instead of switching from state 0 to state 1, it generates a pulse.
The switch allows you to choose when a trigger is generated: either when the signal exceeds, or when it returns below the threshold, or both.
There is also an output that sum the 3 circuits.

The second section is a combination of the 3 circuits, and generate GATE outputs.

Typical use:
All typical use of the comparator function
Trigger generation for complexe rhythmic composition
Waveshaping tool, or complexe PWM.

Hacking the TIME-SHIFTER - Eurorack module

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"A small addition to the TIME SHIFTER module:
Add a CV input to the MAIN-SHIFT parameter.
A CV input to this parameter hadn't been planned, as in the intended use, it wasn't relevant.
But actually, why not? That's the whole point of being modular: going where the manufacturer hadn't thought!

Ok, it's a bit makeshift, but it works…
More info on the site:
https://www.larix-elektro.com/PRODUCT...

Modules used:
LARIX ELEKTRO 4TOMS for the toms! obviously ;)
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator + Shift-R for the rhythm
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator (another one) for the CV controlling the MAIN SHIFT"

"WHAT'S THAT THING ?
The Time-Shifter is a delay for gate or trigger signales.
As all good time machines it can delay after and before (!).

The first idea is to find a way to build a swing or a groove.
So to decide which steps of which track is decayed, and how much.

To do this, it is necessary to be able to shift the events after and before. But before, we can't predict when an event will appear...

The solution is to decay everything, and then, decaying less than the others events.
So comparing to the new decaying events, it will sounds like it appear before.


The MAIN SHIFT defines this new reference.
So if you enter the main CLK signal into the input, the output of this circuit can be used as the new CLK reference.

The four circuits A B C and D works according to the value of the MAIN SHIFT reference:
- When the knob is centered, the time decay is the same.
- Left, means less time decay, so the event will appear before.
- Right, means more time, so the event will appear after.

Extend your module:
The module can be enriched by one expansion modules:
- The AttV-4 adds to the CV entries an adjustment of the CV value by an attenuverter.
The connectors on the back of the module save connectivity at the front.

Typical use:
- Groove (or swing, etc.) controlable by CV (!)
- Realignment of gates sequences.
(When using multiple sequencers with different latency)
- Signals sequencing adjustment.
(Be sur that a RST arrives at the right moment, for example)
(Be sur that a your S&H module sample after signal stabilization, for example)"

Eurorack Impro with Larix-Elektro modules (almost only)

"Apart from the envelopes and the VCA DOEPFER, the modular only uses LE modules.
Furthermore, there is a reverb, the OTO BAM.
A delay, the Boss RE-20
And a small FMR Audio RNC1773 compressor in insert of the mixing console."
