Mood Swinger — Drone FM Emotion Synthesizer

A voltage-controlled experimental instrument designed to play emotion as sound. The Mood Swinger merges FM drone synthesis with tactile performance controls, letting you sculpt evolving soundscapes that shift between love, pain, happiness, and anger.

At the center is a gamepad-inspired joystick interface, allowing expressive, real-time modulation of complex drone layers. A built-in light-sensitive sensor reacts to environmental changes, adding organic movement and unpredictability to the sound.

The system generates cross-modulated frequencies and evolving textures, blending harmonic warmth with harsh dissonance. Push the controls far enough, and the gate opens, unleashing intense, unstable sonic states.

Features:

* FM-based drone engine with deep modulation
* Emotional state switching: Pain / Happy / Anger / Love
* Joystick controller for expressive performance
* Light sensor for reactive sound modulation
* Full CV control (Eurorack compatible)
* Works as both standalone instrument and modular system component
* Integrates with sequencers, LFOs, and external CV sources

This isn’t just a synthesizer—it’s a performance instrument for emotional exploration, where tension and harmony continuously collide.

"SPIKES GOLD. — 15 Years of Error Spikes is one of the earliest Eurorack-inspired instruments, born 15 years ago—back when the modular world was still small, led by pioneers like Doepfer and a handful of boutique makers. While many brands moved toward mainstream retail, Paul Tas of Error Instruments chose a different path: staying underground, raw, and experimental. Rooted in noise, dark techno, and avant-garde traditions inspired by Warp Records and musique concrète, Spikes remains true to its origins—focused on creativity over convention. Now, 15 years later, a new version is here. Spikes (Anniversary Edition) is a standalone analog instrument, expanded with a built-in delay FX processor that can also be used independently. It introduces a unique hybrid interaction: conductive touch, light sensor control, and hands-on manipulation come together to create unpredictable, expressive soundscapes. • Six conductive spikes allow touch-based sound shaping • Central mixing area blends signals into evolving textures • Oscillator controls (potentiometers) generate and manipulate tone • Dual middle controls adjust delay feedback and time—from short to endless • Light sensor adds performative modulation (switchable on/off) This instrument thrives in chaos—perfect for glitchy rhythms, skipping textures, noise explorations, and cinematic sonic journeys. As a fully analog device, it requires a bit of tuning and exploration, rewarding hands-on experimentation. Available in silver and gold, this is a strictly limited edition of 50 units, all handmade in the Netherlands. Release: Superbooth 2026, Berlin Availability: One-time release only For demonstrations and deeper insight, watch the video and explore the user manual. Spikes is not just an instrument—it’s a statement."

L.E.P - Lumanoise V2

Published on Feb 14, 2015 paul tas

"OVERVIEW

Small drone generator with two classic oscillators, two sub-harmonic oscillators, a 12dB lowpass filter and photo resistor control. Interesting, unusual small machine inviding to play instantly! Very lovely is the handmade bag made of felt :)

DETAILS

The tone generator section consists of a square wave oscillator, a digital 12Bit sawtooth and two subharmonic oscillators, inspired by the Trautonium which generate sub-frequencies derived from a master frequency.
The level can be set for each oscillator and the frequency range is selectable between high and low. For the subharmonic oscillators that's possible only for both at the same time but you can set the frequency divider individually. A variable frequency control is possible only via three photo resistors on top of the unit which makes the Lumanoise V2 so outstanding. No oscillator is at the same base frequency which provides for frequency beating, so typical for drones.

A 12dB low pass filter with resonance shapes the sound. The cutoff frequency can be set either with the potentiometer (working in opposite direction, by the way) or two more photo resistors.

L.E.P - Lumanoise 808 Cymbal Drone Generator

Published on Feb 14, 2015 paul tas

"OVERVIEW

http://www.errorinstruments.com/a-396...

Based on the TR-808's cymbal circuit consisting of six oscillators tuned to different frequencies, L.E.P developed the 808 Cymbal Drone Generator. The name says it all, doesn't it?

DETAILS

The six square wave oscillators are tuned to following fixed frequencies: 119Hz, 176Hz, 214Hz, 303Hz, 363Hz and 666Hz. Each oscillator's volume can be set with an individual potentiometer.
The oscillator mix passes a resonant 12dB/octave lowpass filter that's cutoff frequency can be either controlled by a potentiometer or two photo resistors.

"Rare, One-of-a-Kind Sculptural Devices by Paul Tas

These are not your average machines. Designed and handcrafted by artist and inventor Paul Tas, each device in this exclusive collection is either:
• A limited production piece, or
• A completely unique, singular creation—no duplicates exist.

With unconventional, often surreal designs, these devices blur the line between functional object and sculpture. They may serve obscure or symbolic purposes, built more for exploration and expression than utility—think of them as machines that tell stories or instruments for imaginary tasks.

Every piece is:
• Individually constructed
• Visually striking
• Mechanically unusual
• Often part of a broader artistic vision"

Quantum cloud installation or the future of music

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas

"The Future of Music – In the Vision of Paul Tas

Imagine a future where music isn’t something you listen to, but something you create—not with instruments, but with sound itself.

Not songs. Not tracks. But pure, raw, living sound.

This is the vision behind Quantum Cloud, a prototype sound installation and device. It’s not about listening to pre-made music. It’s about building your own sonic world—100% personalized, created in real-time, with machines and light.

Quantum Cloud: A New Kind of Sound Machine

Developed by Error Instruments, this is a highly experimental modular synthesizer—part sculpture, part sound lab. Built around four light-controlled oscillators, it responds to light and to itself. The oscillators can motivate, influence, and synchronize with each other. It includes a unique echo effect, adding depth and motion to your sonic exploration.

This is not just an instrument. It’s a sound experience.
• Patchable and modular
• Fully interactive
• Designed to evolve and inspire
• Meant for the curious, the creators, and the dreamers

Whether placed in your home as a sound sculpture or built at a DIY workshop, the idea is simple: sound becomes yours.

You don’t play music—you create your sound.

Affordable, Experimental, Accessible

We are developing a Do-It-Yourself kit for under €200. You can build it at home, or join a workshop and dive deep into experimental sound-making.

This is just the beginning.

An Interview with ERRORINSTRUMENTS' Paul Tas & New Product Announcements

The following is a fascinating look at the man behind ERRORINSTRUMENTS, Paul Tas. Note the questions are not mine, but were sent in with the full interview by inmar lsbtv grtz sleep good.

So how did all start? What was your life before "error instruments"?

- my life before error instruments can be described as a life of an artist in making sculptures and paintings. I was making sculptures from robots, called "the beeb" collection. It is a wooden robot with the concept that in the 50's, we have thought that robots will replace our jobs. However, with the influence of the media, and the medicines we take against emotions, figuratively we can say that we are the robot, and we get programmed by commercials and news. This robot has been a big succes due to the fact that it has been bought by numerous art collectors from different countries such as Japan and the United States. Furthermore, the collections had been sold also at auctions houses Christie's. Later on, I have started to work more in fashion and art and making moveable sculptures with electronics, I made also a traditional Dutch blue sculptures, big horse heads with the intention of giving a controversial thoughts and ideas. Moreover, sculptures about religion, which was a mix between Jesus and the corporate companies in the world with the meaning behind it, that they use the same propaganda to control people's mindset. I was also threatened by religious groups from Germany and Belgium during the time of exposition, not only me, but also the other people in the gallery. This situation has got to a point where i had to go to the court, but in the end I was free to go. Later i have done a project for Damian Hurst and made some installations together with BitMove for the "Love of God" exposition in the "RijksMuseum Amsterdam". As a result, more and more technical and electrical equipments got involved.

When did you have the idea for error instruments and what did the first steps look like?

- First of all, it is important that you know that as a child, i was not able to read, thus it was difficult to go to a normal school, and i have attended a special school, which allowed me to use my creativity, furthermore my writing was always full of mistakes and because in the 80's we used "Commodore 64", and every time i was writing something, a text appeared " Syntax ERROR". Therefore, the kids at my school, gave a nickname to me , called "Error". As a result, i got a fascination about the things that go wrong with machines, such as glitches or accidentally algoritmes and of course the sound of noises. By exploring the art of circuit bending and hardware hacking, i have found out that many people miss this, because the commercial products were created as a mainstream products, with a result for mainstream music. Thus, with the money that i have earned from art, I have started the shop, "ERROR INSTRUMENTS".

Do you have artistic projects beside error instruments?

- Yes, I perform under the name "ERROR EMPIRE", on several festivals. I have also some conceptional sound projects, called "Pink data". The idea of "Pink Data" is that is not controlled by humans, thus all the music is created by accidental algoritmes. I also make sculptures, with acoustic and electronic purposes. Furthermore, I am busy working on the modelar synthesizer and exploring control voltage. design eurorack modules for and special audience
