VOLTLIFE: Xaoc Devices Drezno first patches

Published on Jun 3, 2017 voltlife

"Some quick experiments using Xoac Devices' new Drezno module to process audio. Animodule's M1xXOR allows manual and voltage control of which bits are passed through, ignored or inverted, but you could do similar things with switch, logic or VCA modules.

Initial patch:
Dixie II sine → Drezno ADC → M1xXOR → Drezno DAC

Second patch:
Dixie II saw → Pittsburgh Filter→ Drezno ADC → M1xXOR → Drezno DAC"

Modular Stuff #1 - Xaoc Devices Drezno testing

Published on Jun 4, 2017 ModularStuff

"Testing the brand new Xaoc devices ' Drezno ' with this simple patch. DREZNO is acting as main groove generator, its ADC input is feeded with DPO's final out which also is main bass sound, DAC output is taking care of BASIMILUS morph cv. DREZNO bits out are firing stike inputs, drums sounds and envelopes which are shaping basically the whole sounds, BATUMI provides all the free running LFOs and RENE' gives pitch cv where needed. VERBOS CO square out is the main clock for DREZNO's ADC clock input."

XAOC Devices Drezno and Lipsk Compute Lofi and Distorted Drum Loops and Turn LFOs into Sequencers

Published on Jun 14, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Demonstrating some of the unique features of the XAOC Drezno and Lipsk Eurorack Modules. The Drezno is an 8bit ADC and DAC that can be use for bit reduction or shuffling, or many other things. The internal high frequency clock can be overridden with a slower one for sample rate reduction sounds. The Lipsk expander allows you to invert bits between the ADC and DAC for massive amounts of distortion.

The first part of this video shows the Drezno and Lipsk distorting a drum loop that is playing on a Make Noise Morphagene. The second part shows how these modules can turn an LFO wave from an Intellijel Dixie II+ into a melodic sequence as well as a weird drum sequence, triggering two Erica Synths Pico Drums.

Xaoc Devices Rostock & Drezno II: new patch ideas for the Leibniz Binary Subsystem

video upload by Tom Churchill

"In this video, I’m taking another look at the Leibniz Binary Subsystem from Xaoc Devices. This is a set of Eurorack modules that let you convert analogue audio and CV into 8-bit digital signals and then process them in all sorts of unique and interesting ways. Using various combinations of Leibniz modules, you can do everything from waveshaping and bitcrushing to sequencing and drum pattern generation.

Xaoc Devices recently sent over the latest modules in the system for me to check out. Drezno II is a new and improved version of their original analogue to digital and digital to analogue converter module which acts as the main front-end for the system. And Rostock is a binary data pipeline, or digital shift register, which lets you delay, loop, scramble and reclock the 8-bit data stream. In the video, I build a few patches that explore some of the musical applications of these tools."

Xaoc Drezno and Jena quick patches

Published on Sep 2, 2019 Xaoc Devices

"Here is another quick video. This time I'm focusing on the new expander for Drezno module - Jena. Most of the time it is used as a wavetable oscillator/waveshaper - exploring also phase modulation possibilities. Next, you'll notice a short part where Jena's bit outputs are triggering Percs from our fellow company Polyend. This is possible because there is a special bank of wave shapes designed for percussive duties."

Xaoc Devices DREZNO & LIPSK

Published on May 25, 2017 Xaoc Devices

"Drezno and Lipsk are the first in series of modules which constitute The Leibniz Binary Subsystem, a group of 8-bit signal processing devices offering comprehensive digital signal manipulation, as well as audio signal, control voltage, trigger, and gate generation. Drezno is the input/output front-end of the system, consisting of an analog–to–digital converter (ADC) and a digital–to–analog converter (DAC), that alone can be used for manipulating analog signals and voltages based on their binary representation. For detailed description, please refer to the manual on xaocdevices.com."

XAOC Devices - Workshop at SchneidersLaden

Published on Feb 4, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"Maciek, Marcin and Tomek from Xaoc Devices were so kind to explain their more sophisticated modules to us. What initially looks like a lecture at university, is actually a quick and very good explanation of the huge and often overlooked possibilities of their Drezno and Lipsk modules. Those two go to the heart of digital-to-analog conversion (and the other way round) and are therefore perfect examples of what makes modular synthesizers interesting in the first place! You can go as deep into the shaping of sounds and modulations as possible! At the end of the workshop they also talked about their first VCO module - Odessa, an additive oscillator with great potential.

Here is a little time-table for you - so you can jump to the bits that you want to see:

8-bit signal processing for eurorack - Drezno & Lipsk / Leibniz subsystem / Xaoc devices

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"The Leibniz subsystem from Xaoc devices is a line-up of modules that work with 8-bit conversion. It’s a unique concept that allows for a lot of interesting signal manipulation and generation. In this video I explain what 8 bit is, and how it’s implemented in this line-up, using Drezno and Lipsk. Of course, there are multiple chapters with patch ideas and audio demos as well.

Leibniz Unleashed | XAOC Leibniz Binary Subsystem | Episode 04

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's been six months since episode 03 (The Road to Berlin). This is mainy because I make videos as I go and as I learn. The Leibniz system, by itself is not difficult to use, but in the audio domain it's impossible to bypass the 8-bit sound quality and harsh noise is inevitable. I needed to take many breaks to make this video and I had to get my knowledge from the manuals and the excellent works of Tom Churchil. I never fully realized you need to make loops for best results and I didn't know how important 'reclocking' is. I experimented with external VCO's before I realized Berlin and Poczdam offer their own Leibniz clocks to manipulate and 'reclock' the datastreams.

I had many 'I did not know' moments while making this video, and often I had to reshoot stuff that did not make any sense anymore. I wanted this episode to be a 'Leibniz Unleashed' experience, showing off some amazing patches that have a lot to offer and complement what's already out on YouTube.

I guess a logical followup for Episode 05 is to explore musical applications some more, especially in the audio domain. Leibniz is just great for CV and rhythms, but (at first glance) not so great in the audio domain (unless you fancy glitch, noise and other raw genres, it excels here).

I hope this video will help you get more production value from your Leibniz set, or help you decide if it's something of interest. Modular is too expensive to just do a leap of faith and figure it out later. It can take a year before it starts to make sense. But it's been a great year!

Buchla Tiptop 264T | ART protocol hacking with XAOC Drezno

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"According to Gur from TTA this was unlikely to work, but 'unlikely' is not impossible. The ART protocol is something like analog encoded digital data used to be transferred over regular patch cables. It carries information that can be used to play quantized notes on an ART capable VCO like the 259t (and obviously the ART series from TTA). I tried using XAOC Drezno to convert the ART signal to bits, and then scramble a few before recoding it back to analog. This is just an experiment and it was a bit too much off-topic for episode 14. It would also make the video too long and nobody's watching the end of long videos anymore. It makes me wonder if this could also work on MIDI data, but that's for another day."

A Nostalgic Phase

Published on Jul 17, 2017 voltlife

"I just got myself a Minilogue, which is the first analogue polyphonic keyboard I've had in a long time, so of course the first thing I did was run it through Kaminiec for liquid phasey sweeps that took me right back to my JMJ-idolising childhood. Add a chugging bassline through plenty of delay, some low-fi analogue percussion and some random squelches, and the 70s electronic nostalgia-fest is complete.

It's not all retro analogue styles, though. The Minilogue chords (shamelessly stolen from you-know-who) go through Kamieniec into Clouds, which I use to pitch shift and freeze the output. Clouds is modulated by an Erica Octasource and occasionally trigger by bursts from Drezno, while Demora and Erbe Verb add echoes and space to the bassline and percussion. There are a few missteps with chords and mixing, but it's fun to play!"

Xaoc Exploration | Eurorack Modular Synthesizer

Published on Aug 22, 2017 Lightbath

"This video is break from the norm. It was recorded before the eclipse and presents a glimpse into a process of exploration.

The basic idea of this patch is to use Drezno & Lipsk to mangle the audio coming from two ER-301 synth voices (the percussive sounds), which is shaped by Maths envelopes shaped by Batumi and Voltage Block. The bass is Tides, and the lead is another ER-301 synth voice. All voices played by Voltage Block. Praga mixes all three voices and sends to Chronoblob delay, which outputs to Kamieniec. Tirana II handles some panning.

Audio recorded straight to camera."

Xaoc Devices ERFURT / not just for counting and dividing / extensive playthrough

video upload by BRiES

"In this video I demonstrate how you can use ERFURT either standalone or in the context of the Leibniz Binary Subsystem. I talk about the clock, the inputs and outputs and show you how to extract useful signals from the module. ERFURT isn't just an ordinary counter or clock divider: it can drive the wavetables in JENA, produce sequences through DREZNO or lock the Leibniz system to the masterclock of your patch... to name just a few examples.

PS: I mention somewhere that the slowest clock is a 1/46k but it should be 1/64k. It's a simple mispronunciation because of how numbers work in the dutch language (we say the last number first - ridiculous I know).

XAOC Leibniz Binary Subsystem | Episode 01 | Intro & Drezno II

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"My first ignorant impression was 'it's a fancy bitcrusher' which may be 10% right. It's about musical applications with binary logic. Thanks to Bries and Tom Churchil for their masterclasses so I may be able to figure out the other 90%.

As always, I am not sponsored by XAOC. I wish, but it's too late now. I have Lipsk in backorder and that will probably conclude my case.

Dear XAOC if you feel thankful while this series progresses, I still have a short wishlist like Odessa, Batumi, Samara, Belgrad and a mixer. But I am already happy you made these modules!"

Xaoc Devices ROSTOCK / trying out a phaser and chorus patch / DREZNO / POCZDAM

video upload by BRiES

"I'm just trying out things with ROSTOCK to get a feel for it. This is a patch where I used it to create a phase-shifting or pitch modulation effect (depending on the speed of the modulation). By mixing in the original sound you can get phase cancellation in mono (comb-filtering?) or chorus in stereo."
