SUPERBOOTH 2024: Leaf Audio - Soundbox - Geophone Electro Acoustic Instruments


video upload by sonicstate

"Superbooth 2024 brought us some exciting new developments from Leaf Audio*, as *Manuel *introduced us to their latest advancements in contact microphones and sound design instruments. The classic *Soundbox has received an update with a new magnetic contact microphone that can be attached to any metal surface, now available for pre-sale through Exploding Shed with a 15% discount. The new contact microphone comes with two cables and a holder for versatile use, allowing for easy attachment to non-magnetic objects like branches or trees with the included rubber bands.

But the innovation doesn't stop there. Leaf Audio also introduced the *Geophone*, specialized in capturing super low frequencies for intense and deep sound design. Available in two versions, the Geophone offers a unique perspective for sound designers in fields like movie sound and game sound. With the ability to pick up low-end rumble and seismic vibrations, the Geophone adds a new dimension to sound design. Both versions come in a box with accessories for flexible mounting options.

Offgrid Shuffle in Eurorack: LoFi Hiphop with Stolperbeats


video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Here's a modular lofi hiphop patch that came out so leftfield it was too fun not to share! It's built around #Stolperbeats and Befaco's fantastic Percall Quad Drum VCA, with Stolperbeats sequencing the shuffled gates and a wooden baseboard amplified and routed through our #TausenddB and #Multiplikand patched as a texture control.

Stolperbeats, 'beats tripping over themselves' in German, is our upcoming drum trigger sequencer designed to create shuffled beats influenced by artists like Flying Lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote and J Dilla. We really love those beats and used to reconstruct them for our tracks in the DAW, so we ended up digging deep into the techniques how real-life drummers like Questlove from The Roots or Perrin Moss from Hiatus Kaiyote play these shuffles.

This patch is almost a little hack as it uses Stolperbeats' clock outputs as a musical signal. Subdiv outputs the swung clock or a related set of tuplet subdivisions, perfect for syncing up cartesian sequencers like Make Noise Rene that advance one step per clock tick. Sync plays a straight unswung metronome ranging from once every four bars to 24 ppq, great for keeping a Delay or LFO in time.

Here, Stolperbeats' clock signals are patched to trigger Percall's VCA envelopes, shaping the sounds picked up from the board with piezo contact mics, and creating groove from the offset flams of the shuffled and straight clocks. Enrica is performing the drum rolls by changing the subdivisions on the fly. It's all held together by the lovely blips from Winterbloom 's Juno-inspired DCO Castor & Pollux on kick and a Patching Panda Hatz patch on snare duty.

We'll be showcasing this setup tonight at Muelheim Modular's lovely synth shop in Köln Mülheim. It's part of Mülheimer Nacht 2022 so if you're in Cologne, swing by and say hi! You will be able to try out the patches and modules hands-on. If you want to build our synth #DIY kits, we're hosting a workshop at Superbooth in Berlin, 13.05.2022, 17:00. If you are unable to make it to Berlin, kits are available at Muelheim Modular and Exploding Shed (EU), Thonk (UK) and dsp.coffee (US), or visit our website and mail us directly."

LeafAudio Microphonic Soundbox - Audio Demo


TheLeafAudio
Published on Aug 3, 2017

"Here's a first demo of our Microphonic Soundbox. It's ready and will be available as a DIY kit and ready made unit via www.exploding-shed.com

It is an acoustic instrument which I created 20 years ago and finally we made it public now to share it with you. 2 internal contact mics can be amplified (100x Gain) and mixed to the mono out as a line signal. If an external signal is inserted, mic 1 is switched off. Supercool for creating otherworldly sounds and ambiences, great for processing with hard- and software."

Creating a new acoustic synths label for these moving forward. No, guitars don't count. Guitar synths, however, do. :)
