Noesis // Chamber of Circuits

video upload by Erica Synths

"A performance of Noesis by Latvian composer Anna Fišere, written for eight performers and fourteen synthesizers, bringing together musicians from Latvia's classical and electronic music scenes.

Inspired by Plato's concept of noesis - the highest form of knowledge achieved through direct, intuitive understanding - the composition challenges the boundaries between academic and electronic music. Combining contemporary composition techniques with the chamber orchestra format and electronic instruments, Noesis examines the relationship between human intuition and the algorithmic precision of machines.

Developed in close collaboration with Erica Synths, the piece brings together analogue, digital and modular synthesizers, using repetition, modulation and spectral harmonies to create an evolving musical structure.

Performers of Noesis: Rihards Plešanovs, Reinis Rabenau, Sonja Misiņa, Kaspars Tobis, Ansels Kaugers, Error, Madara Ozoliņa, Edgars Tomševics, conductor Artūrs Gailis.

Set design: Artūrs Virtmanis.

Produced by the cultural organisation Artes Liberales.

Chasma Legio: Mid/side dynamics processor on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Chasma Legio is a mid/side dynamics processor built for shaping, gluing, widening, and completely wrecking a stereo mix.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Chasma splits your stereo signal into its Mid and Side components, giving us independent control over the dynamics of what's happening in the center and out at the edges.

Let's start with the Mid and Side Compressor switches. Each gives you three levels of dynamics processing.

Then you have separate Mid and Side Limit controls. These set the ceiling for each, letting you push and shape the two parts of the stereo field independently.

And then there's Distortion. Keep it near the center and things stay clean. Turn it to the right for saturation, and to the left and you enter glitchy, popping territory.

And because we are Noise Engineering, you have an FSU input. Hit it with a gate and Chasma instantly changes the Mid and Side processing for some dramatic shifts in the mix.

Chasma is just one of the free firmwares you can explore on the Legio platform. Connect your Legio over USB and swap between them whenever you want.

Analogue Solutions Series 700 Modular Synthesiser

via Analogue Solutions

"The Roland System 700 is a very rare and desirable modular synthesiser. It was and still is a premium professional system. They fetch over £150,000 on the second hand market, and that’s even if you can find a full system. If you can find a Roland System 700, usually it is only a partial system and finding the remaining blocks is near impossible.

The Analogue Solutions Series 700 is as close to the Roland System 700 as you can get. We aimed to replicate the design as closely as possible, keeping the look and layout the same.

We had knobs and slider caps custom made, and also custom ordered switches and potentiometers.

There are mechanical changes inside, which of course do not change the sound.

Using modern hindsight there are now better ways to build this internally and externally, and different choice of circuits types and layouts would be made in a synth now, but we stayed with the original spec.

Almost every circuit has been reproduced from original schematics. We kept changes to a minimum, only changing where necessary. The original uses many components that are discontinued. So changes were only made where it is impossible to find parts.

We resisted the urge to change the spec or feature set. The only change we made was to add a basic single channel MIDI to CV converter. This primarily for syncing the sequencer to MIDI.

Physical size is identical. Though we don’t plan to sell loose single modules, they are the same size as the original system, though a space may be required, and the power connector would need adapting.

We supply complete systems. However, one could buy the system in parts, starting, say, with just the Main block, adding the other blocks as money allows.

Or single blocks could be bought to fill gaps in an incomplete system."
