Meng Qi Wingie 2 & Synthstrom Deluge // The process IS the performance!

video upload by Dexba

"The Wingie 2 by @MengQiMusic changed my musical approach (for good).
It made me embrace the environmental noise, it made me start thinking a bit outside of the "synthesizers are for synthwave" box, and its portability, its cuteness, made me more willing to open up and breathe a bit more.
It's hard to explain, but after getting a Wingie I started to reconsider microphones, I got an Arbhar, I got a Befaco i4, I repaired my OP1 Field mic, I even sang into my modular (and you've seen that video already), all things I would have found sacrilegious in the recent past.
The fun part is that all those other instruments cost more than the Wingie, and yet the Wingie is still the tool that forces me to plan more a recording, while also requiring me less effort in doing so.
Love it.
Here it is being controlled by the Deluge by Synthstrom, in the new OLED version, which finally gave me the appeal and strength to study it better, and put it to good use. And I've owned a Deluge since 2018 😄
I hope you'll enjoy this little moment of calmness, my musical way to cope with the incredibly noisy neighbour I have, through resonation."

Lafont Audio Labs LP-23 Telephone Simulator + SP1200 TR-909 Juno-60 | Demo Video | Retro Gear Shop

video upload by Retro Gear Shop

"Made in France and released in 1999, the Lafont Audio Labs LP-23 telephone simulator is a quirky processor with a combination of features to emulate telephone style effects all crammed into a 1U 19" rack unit. We take you on a tour of this unit, first with an Emu SP-1200 track running through it, followed up with a Roland TR-909 and Roland Juno-60 jam, finished off with a simple voice doing spoken-word to get a sense of how it sounds on vocals.

Features/effects include (from left-to-right):
- Noise Generator with Noise Filter Hi-pass / Low-pass, Level and bypass/in switch
- Voice-Over depth with bypass/in switch
- Distortion harmonics with bypass/in switch
- Telephone Filter Hi-pass / Low-pass, Balance with bypass/in switch
- Equaliser Presence, Bandwith and Amplitude with bypass/in switch
- Rate Freq Fade Slow to Fast with bypass/in switch
- Squelch with bypass/in switch and Output Gain Correction

You be the judge on how much you think this box emulates telephone style effects. On certain settings it can get some nice lo-fi telephone sounds, but it certainly can be useful for other purposes such as processing drums and entire tracks in addition to vocals.
