Klavis GRAINITY / Multimode and 'Granular' VCF for eurorack / extensive playthrough

video upload by BRiES

"In this video about the so called granular filter GRAINITY (by Klavis) I run through the basic filtersweeps for the multimode section and then I spend a lot (a lot a lot) of time trying to explain and demonstrate what the different granular patterns (called structures) are and what they sound like.

To be clear about what 'granular' is and isn't when we're looking at Grainity I'll try to explain in a few words. Grainity does not sample incoming audio so it's not like any other gear or software with the word granular attached to it. In Grainity incoming audio is routed through the filter, there's no buffer or recording, there's no grains or scattering. What Grainity in granular mode does is send the audio sequentially through different types of filters with different settings (these sequences are all presets). The speed at which it cycles through these is determined by either the phase/frequency (zero crossings) or by another signal of your choosing that you can send in seperately and by the setting of the division. The length and type of the sequence is determined by the 'structure'.
In a very simplified way you could think of a sound going through a filter that gets modulated by a stepped LFO at audio rates.

PS: If you think you're hearing a delay and a reverb, it's probably because I added those. Grainity does not provide delay or reverb effects, it's just a multimode/'granular' filter. The effects used here are a Quadraverb (reverb) and an MPX500 (delay) rack effect.

For the bulk of the video I'm using the TWIN WAVES Mk2 dual oscillator as a sound source.

Thanks to Klavis for sending over these units for me to test and demonstrate.

____________________________________________

Keep in mind that this module is degraded from being a production unit to being a pre-production unit. Unfortunately I didn't learn about this until after I made the video.

I'll copy and paste Eric's quote about this from Modwiggler: 'After receiving our first production batch of the Grainity, we noticed operating inconsistencies due to the variability of certain parts.
In order to maintain the highest level of quality and to avoid jeopardizing the reputation of the brand, we have decided not to put these modules on sale. A redesign is required, which postpones the availability of the Grainity to a later date.

Thank you for your patience while waiting for a Grainity that meets your expectations. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.'"

Errorinstruments Introduces Singularity Tropical Noise Eurorack Module

Singularity talking with wobbler off

"Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to tell you about the new Singularity Eurorack module. It's truly something else! With its active and passive function, as well as open clock dividers, it offers a unique experience compared to other tropical noise modules. It can even work accidentally as a passive drum machine for experimental purposes. It reminds me a lot of NOON, the beautiful big drum Synthesizer from Landscape. Singularity also has a function that allows you to use a passive and active in-between soda sounds of an oscillator, resulting in a striking difference in sound when using 5 volts compared to 12 volts. You can check out this amazing module on www.errorinstruments.com. Stay tuned for more demonstrations coming soon! Plus, it comes with a bag of capacitors that you can switch, and three patch cables. It's a beautiful and compact 16 HP module. Enjoy exploring its possibilities! 😊"

The Differences Between Model:Cycles and Model:Samples // Model:Cycles Tutorial

video upload by Elektron

"We dip our toes into Model:Cycles and Model:Samples in the most uncomplicated of ways, both in terms of where the similarities lie between the two siblings and explaining some of the key differences between them. We also look at where the strengths of this pair may lie in your Elektron and wider gear setup, and put together a simple sequence to demonstrate the spontaneous and accessible workflow of the devices.

Check out more about Model:Cycles, a six track FM based groovebox, and Model:Samples, a six track sample based groovebox."

Your LXR-02 drum machine is also an unusual multitimbral synth

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Some machines will never deviate from their designated life mission. Others, like the LXR-02, can entirely reinvent themselves with just a modest push. Erica Synth's little digital drum machine is at heart a six-voice multitimbral synth. The controls are optimised for percussion but it's building blocks are entirely those of synths: Oscillators, envelopes, filters and LFOs. So you're not dressing BoBo the Smoking Chimp with rabbit ears and pretending it's the Easter Bunny. The LXR is already a capable synth.

So here I run through the construction of a couple of synth sounds, meander about through the options, get distracted, lament the poor onboard effects, and end up with a reasonable stereo bassy mid-thing. One small technical note of caution: If you're using a Keystep-37's arpeggiator to play the LXR you may need to go into the LXR's config options and filter the incoming MIDI to just be notes (a single 'N' in the display). This is because the Keystep's 'stop' command sends a CC51 message to the LXR which zeroes Voice 1's decay envelope.

If there's one area where the LXR-02 falls a bit short as a multi-track synth it's in programming and manipulating chromatic sequencer tracks. But a possible solution to that is in the next video...

12-position octave dial for a huge range of frequencies.
Fine tune dial with a range of just over 1 octave to help you easily find the right pitch
VCO / LFO switch.
Frequency Range of 18kHz (VCO mode) down to around 180 seconds per cycle (LFO mode)
Pulsewidth Dial
Sub select switch (-1oct, -2oct, -2oct 25%pulse)
Soft / Hard sync

CV inputs:
1V/oct
Exponential FM (with attenuator)
Linear FM (with attenuator)

Sync input

Outputs
Triangle
Saw (down ramp)
Pulse / Square
Sine
Sub (square / pulse)

INCLUDED IN THE BOX AT PURCHASE:
When getting hold of your source VCO, you will also get its expansion module Confluence in the same box! No need for an additional purchase.

Confluence adds 2 channels of waveshape mixing to your Source VCO along with a white noise generator. The output crossfader allows you to seamlessly morph between the 2 mixer channels for evolving waveshapes (using this in LFO mode gives you a wild CV source!).
