First look: Ladik M 218

Published on May 3, 2017 UncertainMusicCorps

"Fresh out of the box for its first test. 8 hp of goodness to for getting the Nord Drum to behave itself with modular triggers.

The level of incoming triggers/gates are interpreted as velocity when converted to midi. There are 3 selectable scaling curves for this process. You can also increase the sensitivity of the trigger inputs via a jumper on the back. Button on the front panel to mute all channels is a nice performance feature.

Out of the box it has presets for the Nord Drum default midi setup and another for GM style drum synths. These are fully editable. Last setting is remembered on power up.

Little demo uses the original Pamela's Workout to deliver fixed level triggers. These are then passed through a VCA modulated with clocked random voltages to vary their levels to get timbral variations from the ND. The ND comes into the modular via the 4MS dual delay. Modular output is recorded dry.

(The new Pams Workout would probably work even better and need less patching)"

"QUAD BLIP & BEEP PERCUSSIØN GENERATØR

Kriket is a 4 channel blip & beep percussiøn generatør with CV capability øver gløbal pitch. Signals plugged intø the “bang!” inputs will cause the Kriket tø øutput a square wave that is prøpørtional tø the incøming pulse - if the incøming trigger is “high” the nøte will stay øn, if the incøming trigger is “løw” the nøte will turn øff. This feature alløws the user tø dial in blips and beeps øf different lengths by varying the pulse width øf the trigger. The “Kriket” input is cønnected tø a 4 channel vactrøl that cøntrøls all 4 øf the pitches simultaneøusly. This input can gø all the way up tø audiø rates and if you ping it with a trigger, it makes the Kriket *chirp* “PEW PEW!” in a laser like manner.

With shørt triggers, the Kriket makes little kliks that are reminiscent øf a dørky clave. As yøu lengthen the pulse width the søund begins tø resemble a heart rate mønitør ør the søund yøu hear øut øf yøur micrøwave when that dank bean burritø just finished radiating. With øne trigger distributed tø all 4 inputs, it’s pøssible tø get søunds that are reminiscent øf a cøwbell (…frøm øuter space). Let the swarm kømmence."
