CANON: NEW EURORACK MODULE by LARIX ELEKTRO


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

LARIX ELEKTRO CANON, Eurorack module OVERVIEW

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"New Eurorack module:
Add a musical canon into your setup !
Clocked delay for CV and GATE.

Delay events from 1 to 16 steps.
LOOP mode.

Of course, as usual, with CV and trigger controle of all parameters.

Module available now, here: www.larix-elektro.com"



"WHAT'S THAT THING ?
The CANON, is, as its name suggests, a module to create a canon effect (!) between 2 voices.

Wikipédia: Canon_(music)
A theme that is repeated and imitated and built upon by other instruments with a time delay, creating a layered effect.

In the modular world, it's Simply a delay for CV and GATE.
But unlike an audio delay (that records audio at 'audio rate') the CANON records data only according to a clock signal.
With the CANON module, you can delay until 16 steps.

The CANON can delay one GATE and one CV
(+1 CV with an extension).
Of course with CV controle of the number of steps. With the unique knob: Nb Steps.

To be more playable, there are two more functions:
Reset (RST), to clear the memory, that can be useful to not let the sequence running if you don't want that.
Enable (EN). In this case, the input is ignored. The module will works like a small sequence memory of 16 steps.
The Nb Steps knobs will controle the duration of the loop.

To resume, The module needs a Clock signal (CLK)
A CV and a GATE input.
And you will have the same things as the input, shifted !
Then a Reset button + Jack to clear the memory. (RST)
And a Enable button + Jack to freeze the memory. (EN)

With an external module, like the Mult., you can delay one more CV.

Typical use:
Building musical canon.
Save and play with the sequence in the memory.
creative re-construction of sequence."

Testing patch, from DivKid - Part 2: VASTLY IMPROVED FAKE REVERB FROM RING MOD


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

Follow-up to this post.

"This time, I'm not testing the DivKid patch, but my own humble idea.
It's sure, you can improve my idea. I didn't have time to do a better video, because I have to launch a new module this week...

At first, I'll using my Random*Source / SERGE modules.
And then, with my Dual Undula Oscillator. Because the VCO can work like a VCF, and th frequency can go very low.

Hope you will enjoy it :)"

Testing patch, from DivKid, from Rob Hordijks FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation.


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"‪@DivKid‬ 's releasing a very interesting video (as usual).
from an idea of Rob Hordijks.
I let you seeing all the explanations here:[below]

So, why not testing it by myself ?
At first, I'll using my Random*Source / SERGE modules.
And stupidly, I was forgetting that my DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR has all functions to test the idea ! So I'm testing the idea with it.
And after that, I'm digressing around the stereo possibilities of my module and the MS (mid/side) option.

Ok, I didn't have a lot of time (busy after SuperBooth...) so it's a bit "from scratch"... Hope you will enjoy it :)"

How to FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation // Rob Hordijks ‘Poor Mans Delays’ [BETTER BLEEPS]

video upload by DivKid

"So here's a bit of story and the first BETTER BLEEPS video in a long time!

With Chris from Moog sharing Rob Hordijk's trick to emulate reverb wth Ring Modulation in the recent Superbooth video, that of course sparked questions. So strap in with a brew for a time travel trip back to 2017 where Rob Hordijk gave a tutorial with his "poor mans delay" technique and stay tuned for going through the technique and method with us in the video. Grab the free PDF and VCV Rack patch for further material on the technique. Links below.

This is applicable to many modules and bits of gear, to that point after the main demo with Manic (DivKid & Apollo View) I go through it with 4 more modules (Instruo VinCA, cLFO from AtoV, Ouija from Nekyia and A*B+C by Befaco)."

Post-Superbooth with ORIGAMI


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Back from Superbooth 2025 Berlin !

I didn't have the time to test the Origami oscillator. Because the last prototype was done just before... ...so I went to the superbooth without knowing how the module sounded !

After 3 days of trying it, here some of the many sounds it can produce.
Redone in the studio.
(More to come, of course)

Enjoy

(Ok, I'm adding FX, just to put the sound in context)"

Eurorack, Manage your Envelope


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"With the LARIX ELEKTOR TIME module, you have all you need to control envelopes, for more expressivity: Gate duration, retrig, etc.

Here an example of use.

Module is available here:

https://www.larix-elektro.com/"



WHAT'S THAT THING ?
In fact, it's simple: it convert a trigger signal (hm, any signals) into a gate signal with CV controle of the time.

With its many inputs and outputs, it's the perfect companion to your favorite ADSR envelope.

It's also a clock generator, a rampe generator, and even a clock divider with the Shift-R extension.

The GATE output is augmented by 2 other outputs: START and END, which generate (as their name suggests) a trig at the beginning of the gate and one at the end.

The END allows this module to be used as a Trig delay, or to trigger another envelope at the end of a note, for example.

The START's output trig is generated each time a trig is received as input, even if the GATE is still active as output. Perfect for retriggering an envelope (if the corresponding entry exists on your module, of course...).

The GATE can be forced to zero by an RST input. (Think of HiHat Open and Close for example)
The input trig and RST each have a push button.

Finally, a switch allows the module to be transformed into a clock generator.

The input triggers the clock, and the RST stops it.

An additional output, not so common for this type of module, provides a ramp for the duration of the GATE.

This gives you access to a voltage that increases throughout the duration of the GATE.
Useful as is, or to send to a waveshaper for example.

The RITOURNELLE Shift-R, adds 8 trigger outputs.

The Rampe value is converted into an 8-bit word.

This allows for clock-type signals at smaller divisions than the duration of the GATE (or the clock in LOOP mode)

A kind of clock divider.

Synthesizer archeology - DIY Modular from early 2000.


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Too big for live performances, it finally serves me in the studio for a strange and very personal project: De Secretis naturae.

It's a series of tracks built only using this synthesizer and a few other tools, all homemade.
The goal is to recreate natural environments, using the synthetic sounds produced with my machines.
A kind of fake field recording.

The last chapter, of the 2 tracks, has just been released:


That's it, this musical release was an opportunity to present this old pre-LE modular…

Synthesizer archeology - visual design

"Just a small video to show the process of making the album cover:
linocut.

Why talk about it on a eurorack manufacturer's channel ?
Well, just for fun
And because LARIX ELEKTRO is a 'one mane' company and it's boring to split all my projects into too much channels/pseudo, etc...
Maybe it's interesting to know what this guy is doing behind LE ?"

XAOC DEVICES SAMARKANDA first test


video upload by ALEQ Modular

"I'm just receiving the XAOC DEVICES SAMARKANDA module !!!

The ultimate delay module ?
Maybe not , it needs some extra modules, maybe, like filters, or compressors.
But the best I know in the 'modular' spirit. And it's what I'm looking for.

Why ? because the module fonctionnalities are completely open. Almost all parameters are CV (or gate) controllable, and the 4 delays can be independante.
So, if I need more functionnalities, I can add them to the module by patching other modules: there are all the jacks we need.
Also, no sub menus or tiny screen.
It means that it can be deeply connected to all my other modules: the 'modular' spirit...

To show how this module is easy to use, this is really an 'out of the box' test. (for a result after a deep exploration of the module, see the very good demo that are already on youtube, from your favorit youtubers)

Audio sources are the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR and the 4TOMS from LARIX ELEKTRO.
Sequences with LARIX ELEKTRO module, RITOURNELLE serie."

Having fun with a small Larix Elektro eurorack system

"Today I'll show you some cool patches on a small system built around the Larix Elektro modules: Ritournelle CV & Trig Generator and the beast that is the Dual Undula.

These are awesome to improvise rhythms, synth riff and all sort of abstract bleeps very quickly. You can also process sounds in various ways with the Dual Undula so we will check that out as well.

Have fun!

ALEQ IMPRO 2025 #3


video upload by ALEQ Modular

"Flowers start to grow, it's time for a new impro.

This time, I only use the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR from LE.
(https://www.larix-elektro.com/)
Because I have access to the prototypes and the demo modules, I can work with four of them on the same time. Experimenting vairous use of the module: sound source, slow modulation or filter.

Ok, it's a basic modular improvisation, nothing too complex.
Sometime it's enough..."

Manage your time, eurorack modular TIME


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Ritournelle TIME module, for eurorack, is a trig to gate converter.
It has a RAMP output.
What is it ? and for what purpose?

In fact, the RAMP can be a very useful signal to controle all kind of things subject to time:
Events (When does it appera ?)
Complexe CV curves.

In this video, you will see some example of use.

Module is available here:

Clock divider, eurorack modular TIME + Shift-R

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Ritournelle TIME module, for eurorack, is a trig to gate converter.
It can be extender by the Ritournelle Shift-R.
It adds 8 gate outputs.

What is it ? and for what purpose?

The Shift-R converts the RAMP data into 8bits, and sends all the bits into 8 outputs.
That's the technical explanation.

But musically speaking, it's like having 8 divisions of the clock signal (the gate time).

In this video, you will see some example of use.

"Hm...yes, I did a little tidying up some weeks ago.
And I found an old machine:
A kind of ancestor of the RITOURNELLE CV GENERATOR, from the 90' !

This is a good opportunity to speak about this machine, and explaining the concept behind, and so, why the RITOURNELLE modules !

EMBODME EARE 2 with modular synth


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Testing the ERAE 2 with my modular.
This time, no LARIX-ELEKTRO modules.

I was building a CV controlers, with faders and joysticks. For my own use (not for a futur module, no). Can I replace it by the ERAE 2 ?

In fact, not completely. The ERAE is much better to use as an instrument: quick changes are possible, it's a real pleasure to use it.
(As you will see on the video, it needs training I don't have yet...)
But for slow movements, or precise adjustments, a real fader is better (to my tast).

So I will keep both :)

Hm... the ERAE has more features: loop and sequencer, I don't use here."

Secret weapons for live modular.


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Secret weapons for live modular.
ok ok, It's a bit of an exaggeration…

But let's move on… It's just to call again about the RITOURNELLE serie.
This is a serie of module for sequencing. That is perfectly suited for live performances and improvisation.

No there is no random here, but algorithm. It means that you can retrieve the sequence you like, and play with it.
… and so, you're not the slave of the random...

Modular perc generation with the UNDULA OSCILLATOR


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Dual undula Oscillator is a complexe oscillator, yes.
It can be a complete synth voice too, yes.
(And more…)

And it can be used as a perc generator. For very good kick drum sounds.
Thanks to the VCO topology, it can be used as a VCF, and so: 'pingable' !

Here some examples.

No this is not one more boring matrix mixer ! it's more than that: The Attenuverter Bank


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"No this is not one more boring matrix mixer ! it's more than that:
It's a fully configurable bank of 16 attenuverter.

The Attenuverter Bank
https://www.larix-elektro.com/PRODUCT...

Released a few months ago for the Eurorack modular world, several questions from curious people make me think that the module is not understood.
So not it's not a matrix mixer (hm...not only).
It's also a mixer, a dispatcher: a full routing module for audio and CV.

See more in this video, in an imaginary discussion between two people :)"

LARIX-ELEKTRO MULT - EURORACK Configurable MULTIPLE


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"New module(s)!
A very simple MULTIPLE module, 2HP.
But all pin are available at the back.
to configure as you want (jumpers)
to connect something else (insert cable)

Two versions:
8 jack
6 jack + 2 switches

Can be used to extend the 4TOMS or the UNDULA modules
... or for circuit bending/DIY

see more:
https://www.larix-elektro.com/"

Improve your TOMS

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The 4TOMS (yes 4 toms) has plenty of CV capabilities. But only one CV input per voice (it needs place !)
With the MULTIPLE, you can have access to all the CV available."

Improve your DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"In this video, we will see what we can add, and with which modules."



via LARIX-ELEKTRO

"WHAT'S THAT THING ?

This is a configurable multiple module.
There are two versions: 8 jacks, or 2 switches + 6 jacks.
Of course, the package include only one module, not the two versions !

On the back, for each jack:
- Access to the tip of the connected jack cable.
- Access to the Normaled pin.
With the jumper, it's possible to select which one are connected to the internal bus, to connect multiple jacks together like classical multiple modules.

One more jumper to connect the internal bus of the 1 to 4 jacks with the internal bus of the 5 to 8 jacks.

The version with switches has three pins on the back for each switches.

The module can also be used as an extension to LE modules with hidden functionnalities:
Like the 4TOMS or the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR.

The module is also useful for all modules with access point at the back, or to hack/modify modules.

Cables, to use the module as an extension, are not provided with the module."
