Nightverb and DB-01s: Generative dark ambient

video upload by Richard DeHove

"My Christmas video. Dialog is from the 1948 film noir English movie 'A Woman's Vengeance'. Audio is two DB-01s running left and right into the Erica Synths Nightverb. The Nightverb audio is absolutely as-is with no other processing than what you see. Movie dialog has been processed in Reaper and the Valhalla delay effect has been automated - which is an incredibly tedious process compared with riding the dials on hardware.

The DB-01s are set to different scales and random playback. The melody was randomly generated. I'll make a separate video showing this (simple) process if anyone's interested.

Merry Christmas :D

"The final and most unique PĒRKONS HD-01 Limited Edition run of 100 units features a sophisticated industrial grey enclosure, signature lighting strike engraved panels and a special touch – each unit is signed by our self-proclaimed visionary, Ģirts. The side panels are made from a selection of woods, handpicked by our friend - an artisan craftsman named Sandis Vāgners. Cherry, walnut, ash, teak, sapele, maple and padouk are featured in various combinations, creating a unique infusion of character for each pair of panels with a premium lacquer finish to bring out the characteristic grain of each wood. The engraved pattern is achieved with the Lichtenburg burning method that ensures a truly unique pattern on each panel.
Features
4 hybrid voices (digital sound engine and analogue multimode filter with overdrive)
8 controls per voice
External trigger inputs for each voice
Individual voice outputs
Individual FX sends and returns
Master FX send and return
64 kit and 64 pattern memory + additional memory on the SD card
Built-in BBD emulation and a compressor
Modulation LFO with morphing waveforms; up to 8 modulation destinations per voice
4 track sequencer, 4 time divisions and 4 time multiplications per track
Per-step ratchets and probabilities
Shuffle & groove settings for each track
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
Dimensions: 315mm x 454mm x 90mm (including knob height)
Weight: 3.7 kg
PĒRKONS features four sonically versatile hybrid voices (digital sound engine + analogue multimode filter with overdrive) and a sequencer with simultaneous control over all four percussion tracks.

Each voice has 3 sound engine modes, an HP/BP/LP filter and 8 controls for nuanced sound design, including an internal BBD FX send. All voice parameter settings can be saved as KITS. To add dynamics to the performance, parameter automation is implemented and a modulation LFO can be assigned to all parameters.

For a real thunderstorm, integration with external gear is considered - each voice has a dedicated trigger input, individual output, and FX send and return with 6.3mm jack sockets, along with extensive MIDI implementation. All voices are summed and run through a built-in compressor.

Time to ride the skies!"

ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 09 // LØSTLVLS

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"A slightly dirtier HexDrums workout today, this time with the Master drive gain all the way down but at 100% for a slight definition boost. I think this is my favourite setting. Definitely makes things sound hairier without going into mangled territory.

Apologies for when my head gets in the way of the camera - will attempt to stay further back in the future. :)

"Really enjoyed the last 'clean' HexDrums video so thought I'd make another, this time using the Cymbals voices to add some sampled chord stabs.

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"There was some call for a clean demo of the HexDrums - here is my offering. Compressor and drive are off and the outputs aren't pushing my preamps. To my ears it sounds really punchy and rich.

"Italian composer, producer, guitarist, and sound designer Eraldo Bernocchi explores a fluid, experimental workflow using OXI One MKII to sequence Polyend Synth, 1010music Blackbox, and iPad—blending hardware and software into a single expressive system.

With a career spanning from late ’70s punk roots to seminal projects like Sigillum-S, and collaborations with artists such as Bill Laswell, Harold Budd, Nils Petter Molvær, Merzbow, and many others, Eraldo is widely regarded as a master sonic sculptor. Founder of RareNoise Records and a renowned sound designer for brands including Elektron, Erica Synths, and Polyend, he brings decades of deep musical vision to this performance—showing how OXI One MKII becomes a powerful hub for contemporary composition and live sequencing.

The destructive charm of tubes - With Fusion System II

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Sound design is all about adding detail, flavor, and texture. The Erica Synths Fusion system II is a rather unique synth voice with a lot of interesting ways to add gain and drive, using tubes. In this video I share some personal thoughts about the system, and go over the modules to explore their options."

04:46 – VCO 2
14:20 – VCF 3

Xenodrive on synth, drums, drone and SFX (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"First up: Erica Synths sent me the Xenodrive, so my thanks to the kind crew in Latvia. And did you know Latvia and Tasmania are almost identical in size? Not sure that fact will prove useful to you, but who knows.

The Xenodrive joins the Echolocator and Nightverb in Erica Synths' desktop range. Older members include the DB-01, LXR-02 and AcidboxIII. The Zen delay eats at a different table because of its slightly different case size. Perhaps we can speculate on what's next? I'm thinking of a sampler-looper thing. Thoughts?

Back to the alien-green Xenodrive. But before we get there it's interesting that alien stuff is associated with the colour green. If you read fairy tales in their original form then you'll know green was always the colour of witches and other evil folk.

So the Xeno: Stereo dirt, drive, waveshaping, distortion and tube screaming. Dial in just a touch or destroy everything. Lots of knobs plus presets. It's a rare beast.

Aggressive effects can lead to aggressive knob twiddling spinning from zero to ten looking for the big changes. Sometimes it's true: the parameter might be linear from not much to lots. I find the Darkglass B3K works like that: There's not much true variation as you wind up the knobs, you simply get more. But that's not how many parameters work here. If you rotate wildly from 1 to 10 you'll miss all the flavors. That's especially true of the rotate parameter, the drive tone, and the X and Y waves. With all these you'll find variations with tiny movements.

Another parameter I really appreciated was the noise gate threshold - one of the few things that doesn't get a dedicated knob. Dirt and distortion pedals are notoriously noisy so a noise gate at the end of the chain can save you from lingering hiss. You can hear this in the first drum demo here. It begins with long tails and then I wind back the gate. Fun also to use it as a hard release rather than just a noise killer.

I tried to give a variety of scenarios in this demo. My unexpected favorite was how good it was at simulating the details of shortwave heterodyne noise.

Erica Synths Hexdrums // First look - out of the box demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Get ready for a hands-on first look at the Erica Synths HEXDRUMS — a powerful, analog-style digital drum module designed for punchy, modern electronic production. It's really easy to get going - this is a zero-manual out of the box demo!! gulp :)

n this video I go through the Hexdrums sounds, create a basic pattern, and show a couple of performance tweaks so you can hear exactly what it can do live or in a studio environment.

Whether you're into techno, IDM, industrial, electro, or modular percussion, this demo shows the sonic character of the Hexdrums"
