Elastic OSC 'LFO' Update 1.2

video upload by Elastic Instruments (Oliver Greschke)

"Update 1.2 brings the long-awaited LFO support to Elastic OSC.
LFO 1 is free - additional 3 LFOs can be unlocked via In-App Purchase.

Each LFO offers:
• Frequency (0.02 – 20,000 Hz, or tempo-synced)
• Shape (Sine, Triangle, Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Pulse, Sample & Hold)
• Fade: Fade-in time after being triggered
• Phase: Define the start phase
• Sync: Run the LFO in sync with project tempo
• Trigger Modes:
• Retrigger – restarts with each new note
• One Shot – plays a single cycle when triggered
• Free – runs freely without retriggering
• Enable: Quickly compare modulation by toggling the LFO on/off

Zebralette 3: Docked from the Mothership

Zebra 3 Modulation Graph WIP

video upload by Urs Heckmann

"Here's a visualisation of Zebra 3 modulation graph. (This is not gonna be in the final UI, certainly not like it is now...)

So there are 24 modules (4 LFOs, 4 envs, 4 MSEGs...) which have parameters that themselves are subject to modulations. These modulations can be directly assigned modulators, e.g. triggers in the envelope, or assignments via the Mod Matrix.

Now the problem: Whatever gets modulated by something else needs to be processed after. So first the source, then the target. Cool. But sometimes modules can modulate each other, or create circular structures. Circular routings create latency, and that needs to be minimised.

In order to solve that issue we implemented and modified classic dependency graphs so that circular sections have a minimum of circularity. What you see in this video is a visualisation of such a minimised circular structure with as minimal latency as possible."

"MANIFOLD RESEARCH CENTRE ANTILOPE

Prance with glee through the wilds of experimental sound with Antilope from Manifold Research Centre, a filter-based drum and dynamics machine designed for creative rhythms and otherworldly sound design. Based around a dual pingable resonant filter, Antilope creates plucks, bongo slaps, and ghastly squeals galore, which can be further shaped through the onboard distortion and multi-FX feedback path. In classic MRC fashion, taking this distortion and FX loop to unique extremes via feedback enables a vast timbral range, transforming the sizzling filter timbres into new and mangled shapes.

To get these sounds moving and grooving, a three-channel pattern recorder is available for patching around to Antilope's filter, distortion, and FX parameters. This provides a highly intuitive and performable interface equally suited for on-stage skronking and studio experimentalism. Each recorder can be switched between stepped voltage sequences or morphable AD envelopes, enabling both rigid beat shifting and smooth timbral changes alike.

Naturally, Antilope's 3.5mm CV inputs and outputs readily integrate into a broader Eurorack environment, opening up even more uncharted paths for sonic exploration. Likewise, the addition of MIDI clock reset and synchronization connectivity enables use in hybrid set-ups and DAW-based artistry. Using its stereo line level input on the back of the device, external sounds can be processed through the filter directly or in conjunction with Antilopes broader workflow, extending the sound world within by infinite margin.

Thanks to its dedicated headphone output and USB-C power input, Antilope's characterful design is primed for portable interaction, imbuing any journey with captivating sound. With its focused yet flexible design that collapses and reinvents percussive processing in MRC style, Antilope from Manifold Research Centre is a fantastic beast sure to inspire your trips through the creative unknown.

Soft Memo is a hybrid stereo multi effects desktop unit with eight digital CV controlled FX programs, two analogue feedback paths and two complex voltage-controlled LFOs.

It has patch points to integrate external synthesisers and sequencers and it is designed to creatively reshape your sounds with a menu-free hands-on approach.

You can create patches by connecting inputs and outputs with eurorack-standard 1/8" jacks.

All its inputs are protected from potentially dangerous voltages.

It generates (and reacts to) control voltages in the 0-5V range: when a CV signal is patched into an input, its knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming signal.

The patch points are visually divided between inputs and outputs: the inputs are placed in the middle of a white circle while the outputs are not.

Soft Memo is powered by a 9V center-negative (500 mA) power supply, the standard PSU used with most guitar pedals.

Features:

Eight FX programs

A total of 25 patch points

Two high gain preamps

Two feedback paths made of analog VCAs and resonant analog VCFs


Two complex voltage controlled LFOs with clock division and phase offset control

An envelope follower
