When we received the LEPLOOP it came with an after market euro power supply with a north american adaper. It didn't power up! So we implemented an aftermarket one [spare alesis one!] Its a lower VAC then what is required but works fine and has been tested for hours! It will be included along with a printed manual from the creators' site.
LELOOP is tested and works very well and has been tested with a eurorack setup aswell. Must be noted that LELOOP is unique and slightly unpredictable in its nature which adds to the fun and mystery of playing with it! Can you tame the little beast?!"
"This piece was played live and produced using hardware devices only. A lot of analog gear was used to produce the driving sequences. Equipment used: Doepfer A-100 and Dark Time, DSI Pro 2, Roland JD-800, D-50, PC-180A and Bass Pedals, Korg Triton LE 88."
Summer's (finally) here in Toronto, and to celebrate I've interpreted one of favourite Lana Del Rey songs which I heard calling for the waves of the theremin.
I performed, produced, recorded and edited this video in my Studio Kawaii using voice, Moog Theremini, Suzuki Omnichord, Native Instruments Maschine, and Ableton Live.
I really hope you like this video, and please subscribe for more!
Love,
Clara

"In the latest episode of Pulse Tips, we take our Irregular Clocks in Eurorack example from last week, and push it further out of time with random clocks, pulses and bursts as well as stepped voltages.
The Expert Sleepers Disting Mk3 is one of the most useful and powerful 'Swiss Army Knife’ eurorack modules I have ever come across.. with so many capabilities within a 4hp module and more to come with every firmware update it seems!
Here is a live performance of a melodic ambient soundtrack created entirely 'out of the box'…utilizing 12 (Yes, I know… Blame Ben (Divkid!!) Disting Mk3s to self generate almost all the creative ‘magic’

"A documentary about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, retromania & memories. Inspired in Carpenter, Moroder & Tangerine Dream legacy.
Feature documentary (90-120 min.) about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, audiovisual collective memories and electronic music.
The natural way of the cultural wave: we generally experience that musical and cultural trends shift from an outstanding position within public opinion to near utter rejection, refusal and ridicule, through an ever-shortening period of time. However, if that period of time is extended, to often several decades, we can witness a renovation, a new heightened recognition – the rebirth of the wave. Through today’s global reach, powered by the internet, cultural waves and fascinations can resurface and manifest themselves, with an even much bigger fan impact than the original source.
The film is a travel in time towards the roots of a worldwide grass-root music scene known as Synthwave, an irresistible blend of modern electronic composition with 80s pop culture’s nostalgia, that over the last two years has transformed from a whisper on selected internet hubs, to an ever-growing scene, expanding rapidly as we speak. Accounting millions of plays on social media, devoted fans are legion, but nobody in the mass media knows about them.
Thousands of synthwave composers around the world are living out double-lives. Away from their normal everyday life they spend another half-life behind a faceless musical avatar, creating and uploading their own renditions of 80’s-styled film scores, sharing them with the world – surging the wave. They belong to an endless army of watchers for the master’s legacy: the sound that Edgar Froese, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter created in the late 70s.
A time travel into the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of an universe that never existed."
