UltraDubeRolzer - fanfare for a fabulous drone machine
video upload by NoctopolisMusic
"My first encounters with the UltraDubeRolzer mostly made me scratch my head and wonder what I´d got myself into, but then I paired it with the Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax organ and things took a different and most welcome turn - the UDR turned out to be a fabulous drone machine!
I just vaguely know what I´m doing here but there is crossmodulation going on between the Sidrax, the Duber filters (sounding wonderful!) and the Ultrasound section, and of course the Rollz do their thing too. All in all, the UDR (built by Maciek Jaciuk) semms to be an intriguing and exciting instrument. To be continued ..."
Note this is the first post to feature the UltraDubeRolzer. I ran a quick search online and only found the following video from four months ago.

Sidraxia! Glitch inputs go wild with Palmelund Controller 🎮🎛️🤘
video upload by LesjaMusic
"The Sidrax glitch inputs, according to the manual:
'Two green jacks, that are 'glitch' inputs. They cause the boundary conditions of each oscillator to wire to the output of another. A modulation inspired by circuit bending.'
If you modulate the oscillator that is wired to the one with the glitch input (if you get my drift), you can get wild results. Off screen, Microcosm and Cocoquantus add to the fun.

Playing the barres: Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax, Tetrax, Deerhorn, Plumbutter & Cocoquantus
video upload by NoctopolisMusic
"Excerpt from a session with the Sidrax and Tetrax organs, focusing on their brassier tone colours. Chord progressions through a Ditto looper, Glitchy harmonics via Cocoquantus and some Ultrasound and AV dog backdrop from Plumbutter. Plus the occasional Deerhorn gesture. Take care!

Palmelund Ampel with Ciat-Lonbarde Deerhorn, Sidrax, Tetrax & Plumbutter Session
video upload by NoctopolisMusic
"A meditative session where the Palmelund Synthesizers Ampel clocks the Deerhorn arpeggio, sequences the Plumbutter Gongues, Snare and Ultrasound and sends a cv pitch modulation to the AV Dogs. Tetrax & Sidrax cross modulating.

First session with Palmelund Ampel, Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax & Ciat-Lonbarde Deerhorn
video upload by NoctopolisMusic
"Just a minute of my first session with the Palmelund Ampel, a cv- and gate controller for banana synths which I think will breathe a lot of new life in my Ciat-Lonbarde setup. Just two of the modules used here, but it seems like a very musical thing. And a beauty, too! Studio beaver keeping things in order, obviously."

Yet Another Wondrous Machine By Ciat-Lonbarde, the Sidrax Organ 🐈
video upload by PanicGirlVids
"What could be better than some soft melodies for harsh times with another wondrous machine by Ciat-Lonbarde? Thanks so much for sending it over Patchpoint 🐈
In the background you are hearing a melody from Slate+Ash Landforms, which I also find highly inspiring these days. I hope you guys are doing well, sending you lots of good vibes 🐞🐞"

"Text by Peter Blasser
The Sidrax Organ follows a lineage of electronic musical instruments based on touch. It was redesigned twice, first as Sidrassi, then as Sidrazzi. It has seven wooden bars that you press to express seven oscillators within. Each oscillator has its own fine tuning slider, embedded right within its bar. Also, there is a master pitch knob, and a master chaos knob. The master chaos knob makes the instrument go from pure triangle tones to a nest of noise. It does this by gradually increasing modulation from one oscillator to the next in a circular pattern. Sidrax has enough bars to construct sweetest melodies from the triangle waves, whereas Tetrax is a simple four-bar entity, with complexity of tone for funky bass.
There are 44 modulation points brought forth as banana jacks. They are arranged in seven columns, representing the seven bars. Their layout is shifted diagonally, to allow inputs in proximity to outputs. This is for touch-playability; you can make banana jack metal studs that can be squished by hand to gesture-patch the instrument. Inputs are cool colors: blue, green, and grey. Outputs are hot colors: red and orange. The grey jacks are parallel inputs with the master knobs: the one on the left is for master pitch, the right one is master chaos. The color allotment for each bar is as follows:
Two orange jacks, representing the press and release gestures on that bar in voltage.
One red jack, which is the pure triangle output of that oscillator.
Two green jacks, that are "glitch" inputs. They cause the boundary conditions of each oscillator to wire to the output of another. A modulation inspired by circuit bending.
One blue jack, an fm modulation input for that oscillator.
The Sidrax organ has a stereo-mini output on the back. This is because each bar, outputs in different channels during the press/release cycle. In addition to the stereo-mini jack, it has an power switch, and optional built-in batteries, or an external, 9volt battery snap."

Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax + Cocoquantus: Ambient Dream Team
video upload by Matt Lowery
"An ambient melody I noodled around with from an unpatched Sidrax (an instrument by Ciat-Lonbarde). The sidrax is playing into a Cocoquantus, and I feel like this combo is the ambient dream team.
From there, the chain is Bitmap 2, Tensor, and Ultrasheer."

Meng Qi Sidrolz5 (Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax + 5-rolz)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Sidrolz5 is a beautiful one off instrument built by Meng Qi, containing a Sidrax board and 1 set of 5-rolz per Sidrax oscillator. Can be played by touching the bare nana sockets or rhythms can be set up with patching banana cables (not included).
Requires 12vdc power with positive tip (not supplied) and has stereo 1/4" out.
A little more background-
Each sidrax oscillator has a triangle oscillator output, FM in, and two glitch inputs.
The FM inputs have a cap on input to work with the 5-rolz sandrodes below each oscillator to allow for for momentary pitch movements in time with the rolz rhythms (without the caps the rolz just send the oscillators straight to lowest pitch). Some of the FM ins have had the caps bypassed so they can be sequenced via an external, more traditional step sequencing method - e.g. I was using bugbrand CTL1s but korg SQ-1s and whatever else works with appropriate cabling with 0-10v CV range).
The two right most banana sockets are master pitch and master chaos CV inputs. The two large black knobs are master volume and master chaos. The right most knob is master pitch, all other knobs are individual oscillator pitches. Each of the bare potentiometer stems in the pictures have now been capped with knobs.
Each 5-rolz column is hardwired internally to the piezo in/vca of each oscillator- so touch playing is possible, but patching rolz together can yield both repeating and non repeating patterns. No touching and no patch cables means the instrument is silent."
