ER-301 Ultraviolet Granular // Custom Unit Clouds Clone

Published on Sep 17, 2017 r beny

"Orthagonal Devices ER-301 Custom Unit - Ultraviolet (Clouds Clone)

As a challenge, I set out to make a Clouds 'clone' custom unit on the Orthagonal Devices ER-301. It's not strictly or exactly a clone, but rather a Clouds-inspired custom unit that expands on the Manual Grains unit in the 301. It adds a few Clouds-inspired controls, as well as a few other twists. I ended up with 2 different versions for now (more on that later). It's heavy on the CPU (65%-75%) and there were two features I played with swapping out. There are two main Clouds features missing - one is the reverb and the other is the texture control that shapes the envelopes of the grains.

This current version was built with and was only tested on firmware 0.2.18!! It may work with previous versions, as long as it has the highpass filter. I would recommend only using it on 0.2.18 for now. It's only in stereo for now as well. The input is automatically set to IN1, but may be changed.

Shoutout to Lance Drake and Bryan Noll for helping me test this! And shoutout to Joshua Saddler for notes and ideas.

Here is a list of the paramters and what they do (everything can be put under CV-control)

Wet/Dry - Sets the wet/dry mix between the input source and the granular unit
In Gain - Sets the amount of the input signal feeding into the recording buffer/granular unit
Freeze - Gate input, stops the recording buffer from recording
Trigger - Trigger input, triggers the grains
Reverse - Toggle input, reverses the grains
Density - Triggers the grains internally without the need for a trigger input
Position - Sets the start point for the grains
Size - Sets the size of the grains
Cut - Cutoff of the filters
Res - Resonance of the filters
Pass - "Spread" of the filters
V/Oct - Volt per octave pitch control of the grains
Warble - Adds a small amount of pitch warble to the grains. Has a chorus effect when you can still hear the dry signal
Spread - Stereo spread and panning amount of the grains
Mod - Adds internal random modulation to the Position and Size parameters that are synced to both the Trigger Input and the Density Input
Gain - Grain gain

There are two versions of Ultraviolet - one has a feedback control which feeds the grains back into manual grain unit. The other has a control called Refract that is a distortion/bit crushing unit. I'm including a custom unit with both controls, but it's prone to pops after a while.

The recording buffer is set to one second, just like Clouds, but it can be changed pretty easily.

Hope you enjoy!

VCOADSR Performance // Modular Meets Leeds 2017

Published on Sep 3, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the performance video with VCOADSR from Modular Meets Leeds 2017. He gave us a killer dark and ambient techno set with pounding drums, deep dark textures, samples and an ever evolving arrangement through various riffs and themes. The rig rundown videos give us a chance to speak to the artists, check out their approach and gear talking about their performance and how they did it. VCOADSR performing a blinding modular techno set, that certainly in the room sounded like multi-tracked, produced, compressed and EQ'd electronic production. To get that level of sound design and production out of a small live set up was amazing.

VCOADSR was using Orthogonal Devices ER-101, ER-102 and ER-301, alongside a FEEDBACK pre amp, TipTop Audio One, custom 1U tiles, ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's New Workout, Noise Engineering's Loqulic Iteritas Percido, Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter, TipTop Audio drum modules, Erica Synths PICO DSP, TipTop Audio Z-DSP, O'Tool, Intellijel Triatt, and the Model One Play Differently mixer.

ALM Akemie's Taiko & Orthogonal Devices ER-301 // Eurorack patch

Published on Aug 26, 2017 Datachrome

"As usual, recorded in one shot. No fancy video edit this time as it's just a simple patch.

Kick, snare, and hi-hats are samples coming from the Orthogonal Devices ER-301 Sound Computer. Hats are modulated by a sample and hold coming from the ER-301.

Pads are from the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator sequenced by mutable instruments Peaks in secret mode. A saw wave from the ER-301 is modulating the freq inputs to dirty up the sound a bit. It's then processed by an internal VCA in the ER-301 and then the Doepfer spring reverb.

The rest is ALM Akemie's Taiko modulated by Make Noise Rene and a sample and hold from the ER-301.

All is clocked by TipTop Audio Trigger Riot

Enjoy and thanks for watching! ^^"

"experimental ambient. live performance for modular synthesizer and effects.

a rhodes improvisation was recorded into an ER-301 looper unit. that audio runs through mutable clouds as a send effect, then out through delay and reverb pedals.

the ER-301 also generates the vinyl-like crackles with a custom unit: white noise processed via wavefolder, into ladder filter and EQ. r beny and i have been working on this unit for a little while.

two monome ansibles are used. the first, running Cycles, sends unsynced LFOs into attenuators, and then into clouds parameters. the second ansible, running Levels, controls the ER-301 with three encoders on the arc: wet/dry mix, crackle density, and playhead position.

monome earthsea, via buttons on the grid, triggers the looper's reset, which starts playback at the position set with the third arc encoder.

the qubit mixology manages the audio from the ER-301 and clouds, then pushes it through a mackie 802-vlz4 with additional sends to strymon el capistan and bluesky effects. audio recorded with ableton live, video edited with davinci resolve 14b6."
