Introducing Trails: Polyphonic Touch Recorder


video upload by Bela Platform

"Trails is now available for pre-order only on our shop: https://shop.bela.io/products/trails

Trails is a four-channel touch recorder for Eurorack that captures finger movement as musical structure. Melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and control elements can be composed simultaneously through gesture and shape, then transformed in space and time to create evolving contrapuntal and polyrhythmic relationships.

With both CV and MIDI output, Trails can sit at the centre of a modular system while also controlling hardware and software instruments. Gestures can be stored across scenes, recalled in performance, and used either as smooth continuous signals or quantised musical material.

LIGHTREFT x ELEKTRON [CONCRETE TEST]


video upload by Sasha DZA

"We are currently deep in the testing phase of Concrete, fine-tuning exact parameter values and exploring multiple configurations to achieve a balanced yet powerful sound. One of its primary roles is to act as a master device in a live setup.

In the current test routing, Monolit sequences tracks over MIDI in the Octatrack. The audio from the Octatrack goes directly into Concrete, and from there a second output feeds the main master signal to the speakers.

We will be sharing more test sessions soon, where you will be able to hear different drive engines we have been developing, as well as several additional features that were not part of the original announcement but emerged during the development process."

GreyScale - Phase2

"GreyScale 'Phase 2'
In addition to recording the evolved operation of the central generative sequencer, KOSMOS,
this video also features the behavior and interaction of Hikari Instruments Duos and the Sequential PolySequencer.
Relive the development process of this generative sequencer, which moves as if it "sings" on its own,
through logs from the actual instrument and performance footage.
KOSMOS's phrase generation algorithm, tempo fluctuations, and the nuances of rising singing.
The unique interaction of Duos.
The structural movement of the PolySequencer.
Each individuality is connected as a single flow within the GreyScale worldview.
DIY synths, generative music. Phase 2 is an archive that records the behind-the-scenes creation and the moment when an instrument grows.
----
GreyScale 「Phase2」
中心となる Generative Sequencer KOSMOS の進化した動作記録に加え、
Hikari Instruments Duos、Sequential PolySequencer の挙動や連携の様子を収録。
ハードウェア単体で“歌う”ように動くジェネレーティブ・シーケンサーの開発過程を、
実機のログとパフォーマンス映像で追体験できます。
KOSMOS のフレーズ生成アルゴリズム、テンポ揺らぎ、上昇歌い上げのニュアンス。
Duos の独特なインタラクション。
PolySequencer の構造的な動き。
それぞれの個性が、GreyScale の世界観の中でひとつの流れとしてつながっていきます。
DIY シンセ、ジェネレーティブ音楽、Phase2 は、創作の裏側と“楽器が育っていく瞬間”を記録したアーカイブです。"
