Hybrid Modular Ep 1 • Hardware + Software | Eurorack + Computer Synthesizer

Published on Mar 26, 2020 Lightbath

"Up until the global travel situation abruptly changed I was preparing for a European tour. My focus was building an entirely new hybrid hardware + software modular system to travel light and enter some new sonic zones. I had begun to document the process with the aim to create a short series of videos following my progress and covering the design and implementation of this new instrument. This series is still happening, it’ll just be spread out in time a bit more—which is a relief, actually.

And I'm hopeful that the EU tour can be rescheduled for later in the year (or next year). But for now, please join me on the internets, starting with Episode 1, which was shot just before the global situation changed, but somehow seems quite relevant in honor of The Fool on this first day of April.

Please subscribe and ring the bell to be notified of future episodes and, please—stay safe out there (in there)!

Your pal,
Lightbath

"Drambo is an innovative modular groovebox and audio processing environment. Modular components are used to build synthesized and sample based instruments and audio effects using high-quality DSP and audio-rate modulation. Tied to a powerful sequencer, it’s an optimal music creation tool for sound design, composition, performance, and experimentation.

At the heart of Drambo lies an entirely new concept that makes modularity easy, fun and affordable. Modules are connected automatically, with no cables as you add or rearrange them. A dynamic interface creates modulation knobs when you need them. Modules may house other modules, so you can keep your patch well organized. Of course, automatic connections can be overridden. In Drambo you can focus on playing with sound and signal structure without getting lost in wires.

Features
Unique modular concept: cable-less, drag'n'drop, color coding dynamic interface, automatic connections, and customizable compact, rack views.

Directional flow (helps in better overview). There are no instant feedback routings in Drambo. Delayed feedback is possible using certain modules.

Simple and clean interface, that scales to every size and device orientation

Scanner Flaneur // possiblity of a new synthesis *NEW EURORACK MODULE*

Published on Apr 1, 2020 DivKidVideo

"The flaneur explores the relationship between the wandering wave form and the theoretical limits of the moment. With influences as diverse as Camus and Miles Davis, new combinations are generated from both mundane and transcendant textures.

the universality of myth and emotional memories ● possibility of a new synthesis ● a sense of chaos ● refreshing understanding of the moment ● a hegemony of distress ● synergies are generated ● opaque and transparent textures

Sound that begins as a yearning soon corrodes into a cacophony of sonic lust, leaving only a sense of acoustic dust and the inevitability of a new understanding.

As audio forms become frozen through boundaried and critical practice, the listener is left with an insight into the possibilities of our technological era. The Flaneur will inspire, surprise and delight, in equal measure.

Digitak - Minimal House Jam

Published on Apr 1, 2020 StreamLabs - Eunjae Im

"My firts attempt minimal house jam on Digitak (direct USB recording using Overbridge).
I'm still learning this thing.
Except annoying button noise from the housing (cheap mechanical pc keyboard like), I like Digitak overall(so far).
