"Morphable effect processor for eurorack systems."


"The Radiant, developed in collaboration with Sinevibes, is a powerful and highly creative multi-effect processor designed to bring unique and dynamic sound-shaping capabilities to modular synthesis setups.

Multi-Effect Processor with Six Selectable Core Algorithms

Radiant offers a versatile collection of six distinct core algorithms, designed to be both familiar and experimental:

Dub Delay

Pole Phaser

Chord Wrapper

Feedback Shifter

Distortion

Re-Trigger

These algorithms contribute to a wide range of sonic possibilities—from ambient soundscapes and subtle modulations to complex, evolving textures and otherworldly effects.

Morphing Between Presets

One of Radiant’s standout features is its ability to morph between presets. This allows for seamless transitions between different effect states, creating evolving and dynamic sounds. The morphing feature makes it ideal for live performances, as users can shift smoothly between various sonic textures.

Three-Band Filter

Radiant includes an onboard three-band filter that lets users shape their sound by adjusting the low, mid, and high frequencies. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the effects or isolating specific frequency ranges for more controlled sound sculpting.

Reverb and Sound Reverse

In addition to the core algorithms, Radiant provides a built-in reverb, adding space and depth to the sound. The sound reverse function allows for experimental sound manipulation by reversing the audio signal, creating eerie, backward effects that can be synced to the external clock.

Preset System and Save Function

Radiant features a straightforward preset system that allows users to save and recall different effect configurations across 3 available slots. These presets can be morphed in real-time, offering expanded creative possibilities.

User-Friendly Interface

Despite its complex capabilities, Radiant is designed with a simple and intuitive user interface. The module offers easy-to-use controls, allowing for quick adjustments and real-time tweaking of effects. This makes it accessible for both experienced modular users and those new to modular synthesis, providing a powerful yet approachable tool for creative sound design."

How To Loop All The Gear In A Studio: Sequencers/Mixers/Synths


video upload by MR TUNA Music

"Hello my friends this video has been a very long time coming. Its been years since I have done an updated studio tour and rundown so I figured today was a good day to catch up!

The reason it's taken so long to do something like this is because I've always been so overwhelmed at the idea of doing it right........ So instead of making a big production out of things we're going to keep it cool and casual and just see what catches out attention as we go. Thats the only way this is ever getting done!

The most important part of my studio is the ‪@ElectricSquad‬‪@squarpinstruments‬ Hapax sequencer. The Hapax is connected to every single piece of midi-equipped gear in the studio via 5-pin din or usb and is what allows me to loop everything in sync with each other.

When I play the keybed or change the controls on a synth, I'm not directly playing the gear so much as I'm playing it through the Hapax. With local controls turned off on the synth, all of the notes and midi information is sent OUT to the Hapax and does not trigger the synth in question (yet). After it gets to the Hapax it is run through any enabled MIDI effects and (if recording is armed) is recorded into the loop before it is sent instantaneously back to the synth in real time in a way you cant even tell that its happening. This way you can enable effects like arps and harmonizers on synths that dont have them.

All the audio from every synth and drum machine is sent to the tower of 3 Roland MX-1s. the MX-1s send MIDI sync and power through usb to some AIRA-link enabled pieces of gear and simplifies some cabling that way, and every track can be sent to Logic and recorded individually as its own instrument when combined as an aggregate audio device on my macbook."
