video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"2 minutes, no warning! 🥳
In this video, I really wanted to make use of the 1.5 new features of the Ableton Move like sequencing the different tracks of the Move from another sequencer (Keystep Pro here) and its new Auto Filter effect 🤩 (I was really waiting for these 2 updates!).

So the track starts with DRUMS played and sequenced by the LXR-02, through the Oto Machines Boum stereo analog compressor.
I then introduce the Move by opening the new Auto Filter effect.
The Move is playing some secondary percussions (Track 1), the BASS (Track 2, sequenced by Track 2 of the Keystep Pro), the ARP (Track 3 of the Move, sequenced by Track 3 of the Keystep Pro) and the CHORDS (Track 4 of the Move, sequenced by Track 4 of the Keystep Pro).

So with this setup, I was able to transpose in real-time the instruments played by the Move 😃

Echolocator delay: Tape vs BBD plus weirdness (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This video was the result of a comment by @lextron-audio noting that there was no clear comparison of Tape vs BBD mode for the Echolocator. Yes, fair enough I thought, I can fix that. I imagined a snappy three minute video switching between modes as a dry technical comparison. Not exciting, but useful in a nuanced nerdy sort of way, and that's how things started. Yet here we are, 20 minutes of twiddlings co-starring the LXR-02, DB-01 and Acidbox III that gets weirder as it goes along. And everything is unsynced. I wouldn't call it music, I just enjoy the textures and frequencies. That's what comes of spending too many hours playing with shortwave noise as a kid.

'Dirty On' is BBD mode; and 'Dirty Off' is the default Tape mode. I randomly flip between them trying to show the differences in various situations. Sometimes there's not much between them, othertimes especially with pitch shifting on, the differences are huge. In the end though the result is more an experiment in real-time Echolocator playing than a straight mode comparison. Even so I never touched the compressor setting which was at a constant 50. That variable also make a big difference so that's for another day.

Come for the technical comparison stay for the industrio-ambient grit :D

Echolocator delay on synth, drums, voice and shortwave (no talking)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"First up Erica Synths sent me the Echolocator. That's particularly good of them because I know and I'm sure they know that I would have bought it anyway. After all, I'm the man who bought the Zen delay three times. For delay pedals in general I'm up to about 25 delays bought in the past few years and about 22 sold :D

Here I use the Echolocator with the DB-01, Acidbox III, LXR-02, Tecsun PL-660 radio and the US War Department training film number 471 on triodes and tubes.

No presets are used on any of the examples, it's all live twiddling. The idea throughout is to show the range of real time 'playing' with the delay. Just like the Nightverb I haven't used the presets or programmed any myself, it's so fast to dial in the sound you want it seems better to match things exactly to whatever you happen to be playing. The only thing I think is missing (at least I can't see it) is a WYSIWYG mode where the machine instantly reverts to the current knob positions. The only 'second layer' functions you need to remember are BACK+FREEZE to mute the delay, and BACK+TAP TEMPO to sync to an incoming clock.

Despite the length of this video I've only touched on some of the interesting effects. For example adjusting the compressor makes a huge difference to the feedback; whether the filter is in series or in the feedback loop; playing with the freeze function, and modulation with pitch shifting. So more on all that in later videos. If there's anything in particular you think I should cover please let me know.

Finally, if you notice a slight difference in the video color and position between takes it's because I had to change cameras halfway through.

Modor DR-2: A solo jam @180bpm

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Some drum machines are built for real-time tweaking, others you program and hit 'play' while you tweak something else. The Perkons drum machine is a real-time tweaker; the LXR-02 is more a playback machine. Where does the DR-2 sit? It certainly has enough knobs and if you can remember some of the (many) shortcuts then there's lots of available functions on the front panel. Then there's the six little knobs above the faders that can be assigned to any parameter per voice. Yet I've never come up with a parameter that I can't immediately access by the front panel anyway so I've never used them.

Here I'm doing pretty basic stuff. There's a single four-bar pattern and two drumkits. I swap between kits, mute various voices and change the overall bar length. It's also very easy to change the step length per voice (just hold down the voice letter and press the step number) but I didn't want to get too tricky since you can't just reload the pattern to reset the length. The pitch drifting synth sounds come from the portamento amount.

In terms of functionality it all works very smoothly. The only thing I find troublesome is that any drumkit or pattern above the first 16 can only be accessed by holding down the 17-32 button and then pressing the step number. That makes fast changes outside the first 16 patterns and kits much more prone to error. It would be much more logical imo if just selecting the number grouping (eg 17-32) meant that's what you automatically get.

If it all sounds a little gritty to you then good! I used plenty of distortion on most of the voices and even applied some compressor which can be quite vicious and I'm not even sure how to turn it off once it's on!

As usual there's absolutely no other processing than what you see. No compression, EQ or any other DAW effect.

Boss SDE-3 delay fully cranked on synth and drum machine

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Yet another delay pedal bought in hope of finding the perfect balance between size, sound and features. I'm still feeling good about this one: It's black, it's small, it has enough features to make it interesting, it takes line level easily, and it can bite hard.

So here's more audio noddlings than anyone might reasonably want. There's a short bit of blather at the start and then it's all audio with the DB-01 and LXR-02. The levels get maxed out a few times but I've kepy everything as is rather than using a limiter. Panning mode begins at 13:10 and continues for the rest of the video. In the drum machine examples the SDE-3 takes the right output and gives it a stereo output. The left side is centred in the mixer as a "dry" out. At times various drum sounds are panned left and right to varying degrees which means there's usually not an entire output going through the delay.

Nightverb automated by the Midicake Arp (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Here's a somewhat chaotic collection of MIDI CC automation experiments using the Midicake Arp to generate the data. The Arp feeds the Nightverb synced data which affects the sounds coming in from the LXR-02. The Arp and LXR-02 are running from an external clock.

Originally I was blathering over the top about how it was all done but perhaps just seeing some of the twiddlings, especially toward the end of the video, may get the idea across just as well. I tried to give a wet and dry example of what's happening but this is all pulled from about a dozen or so meandering noodles so forgive me if they're not all perfectly structured. Headphones reveal some of the finer modulation timings. There's also a lot of unpleasant oddities but I thought them worth keeping to show the range of modulation.

The real star here is the Midicake Arp. The new v7 firmware is what opens up synced MIDI CC automation. Unless you've got a good dedicated sequencer, or take feeds from your DAW, chances are this hasn't been easily available. I remember looking into devices which would allow simple synchronized MIDI CC automation a few months ago and there weren't many choices. It's why I ended up selling my El Capistan. I bought that specifically for its "degrading loops" functionality but that only available by MIDI CC. In itself that's not too hard, but if you want it clock synced then that's another story.

Sending four channels of automation to the Nightverb, sometimes with extremely fast LFO-like modulations, did sometimes overload the Nightverb and require a power cycle. This usually happened if I flipped between intense presets while running.

If you have any high-end effect units chances are there are all sorts of interesting things available via MIDI CC. With Arp is very easy to access them in real-time sync. So congrats to Midicake for adding this excellent functionality!

"A wild digital beast with a lot of features for the price.
My first impressions:
• Cool design
• Solid build quality
• Love the faders
• Sounds very good
• Deep sound design capabilities
• Doesn't feel like a toy
• I wish it also had reverb
• Couldn't figure out a way to get rid of trigger clicks when using longer decay
• Couldn't figure out how to retrig synced LFO from same position every time I press play

Live eurorack improvisation with Constellation - RYK Algo - Westlich Performer - Ericasynth LXR Drum

video upload by Flat Round Modular Music

'A Modular improvisation , maybe Electronic Music, with :

Acid Rain Constellation - A powerful drum sequencer based on Euclidean algorithms, eight voices, for infinite rhythm sequences. Very live oriented.

RYK Algo: a digital four operators FM module, eight algorithms , for harsh to smooth melodies. And you can easily use it as a simple four voice module, ideal for chords. Wave folding and shaping inside. Very versatile.

Westlich Performer: Eight tracks CV/ gates with interesting CV modulation sequences, euclidean mode. My choice if I would have only one sequencer. And midi capacities too.

LXR Drum : Digital, yes, but a good way to learn the basics of drum sound synthesis with subtractive and FM synthesis. It can to everything if you need percussion acoustic of digital drums. Seven voices too.

This setup can do almost every style of music.

Have a look."

Erica Synths LXR-02 - 64 Brand New Drum Kits

video upload by Sonic Freaks

"We proudly present brand new 64 drum kits for the Erica Synth LXR-02 and LXR Drum module. You can get the drumkits here: https://www.sonicfreaks.com/shop/LXR_...

These kits are specially designed for use in modern dance music such as Techno, Electro, Hip Hop, IDM, Minimal etc. The kits are designed in such a way that the kick, snare, clap etc. are always in the same place. This way you can easily try out kits with the same drum pattern without having to adjust them.

Most kits also use the built-in FX to give them even more punch and/or grit but can easily be turned off or adjusted to taste. We have designed the widest possible palette of sounds that are actually usable. So we don't have crazy FX sounds that you will never use. In total this bundle contains 384 separate drum & percussion sounds. We hope you enjoy them."

BBQ Rims by Goldbaby

video upload by GoldbabySamples

BBQ Rims available now: https://www.goldbaby.co.nz/bbqrims.html

"Premium electronic, acoustic and hybrid rim samples.

The electronic rims were created using a range of drum machines, such as 808, 909, Syntakt, Labarynth, MachineDrum, CR-78, LXR-02, Mutant Rim, Tempest, and more.

The acoustic rims were produced by playing on various snares using the cross-stick technique. This involves placing the tip of the drumstick on the head and striking it against the rim of the snare, resulting in a dry, sometimes resonant "click". These were recorded using an SM-57 and a vintage AKG D244e.

Both the acoustic and electronic rims were recorded through the Electrodyne 501 preamp, Fat Bustard II valve mixer, SPL TDx Transient Designer, Silver Bullet MkII, and EL-7 Fatso.

The hybrid rims were created by layering various combinations of electronic and acoustic rims together."
