CTAG TBD meets Lyra 8 and Strämpler as insert fx

Published on Apr 19, 2020 Creative Technologies

"TBD used as stereo insert effect

CTAG TBD as in 'to be determined' is an open source eurorack audio module. All sounds and effects in this video are CTAG TBD, no extra processing! Sorry, some buzz and clicks came from a defect audio cable, it's not TBD.
It can be easily extended by your own DSP algorithms using a flexible c++ plugin architecture.
It's core feature is control of your plugin parameters through a web application UI and WiFi access. You basically log onto your TBD with a browser, choose your active plugin and modify its parameters. You can store patches per plugin. CTAG TBD recalls the last active plugins and patches upon reboot, so you continue making music where you left off.

All source (hw+sw) are available on https://github.com/ctag-fh-kiel/ctag-tbd

More introductory videos will be available on this channel soon, with specific focus on functionalities and how to add your own code.

"Late night dark industrial vampire ambient JAM.
Sending Moog DFAM to the input of the Lyra 8 to use it's fx (dist and delay).
The Prophet 6 does some ambient together with the Moog Matriarch and Lyra 8. I'm using UAD plugins such as the Lexicon 224 reverb and some distortion."

"All Hail the Eye tone

"See your pitch!"

Manufactured by Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., the Eye tone is an aide to vocal training - plug in a microphone to get visual feedback via it's 2 lamp system. One shows you are within range, the other lights up when you are 'spot on'.

This function, however, lends itself well to monitoring drones. Here, I use it to track pitch coming from a variable speed tape player as I attempt to glide between tones and 'enhance my multi-tasking abilities' beyond their infancy.

Sounds:
O2 Minipops
Hougaku Conductor with step sequencer
2 cassette tape players modified for variable speed:
- one playing a drone, the other birdsong
Suiko ST20 - Shakuhachi/Koto/Pipe Organ 'synth'

Effects:
Aria spring reverb on O2 Minipops
Lots of Korg SDD-3300 on the cassette players
The Hougaku Conductor runs through a Roland VX-66 Echo Mixer and the Suiko ST20 through an ELK EM-13 Analog Echo, before the main mixer"
