Introducing LSe - A Light-Controlled Instrument for Live Electronic Music


video uploads by Ctrl Freq



‘LSe’ (short for Light-Sequencer) is an innovative, award-winning instrument and performance system, specifically designed for live electronic music performance and interaction. More than a decade of research and practice has gone into this project, culminating in the recently completed third version.

In essence, ‘LSe’ allows the creation of sequences of light that control, structure, and interact with various sound parameters. One of the main inspirations for this project was addressing the issue of 'liveness' in electronic music performances. How can the audience know if a performance is truly live? How can they relate to the musician’s actions on stage? With ‘LSe’, every sound is created and manipulated live through various light sources, forging a direct connection between the visual and sonic realms and making the experience more tangible for the audience.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a moving image is worth a million - especially for new musical instruments and technologies that are difficult to convey through text alone.

LSe was designed with live electronic music performance in mind. It aims to create a unique aura that can only be experienced during the event. The system works best in complete darkness, as it is light-sensitive, making it particularly camera-shy. Despite these challenges, video documentation is essential for showcasing the project.

‘LSe’ - Technical Details

‘LSe' has been my primary performance instrument since 2016, undergoing several revisions. Here are the technical details for the most recent version (3.14):

‘LSe’ - Technical Details

‘LSe' has been my primary performance instrument since 2016, undergoing several
revisions. Here are the technical details for the most recent version (3.14):


Core Components:
• Built with Raspberry Pi, Pure Data, and Arduino
• Consists of three parts: Sensor Panel, Light Sequencer, and Control Panel
• Sensor Panel: Contains 32 light-dependent resistors for sound control
• Light Sequencer: Features 8 RGB Smart LEDs that can work together or independently, supporting everything from simple monophonic sequences to complex polyrhythms
• Control Panel: Divided into four sections:
• Mix Control,
• FX Control,
• Sound Control,
• Sequencer Control

Other Features:
• Full Duplex High-Quality Audio (input and output) with an Audio Injector sound card
• Ableton Link integration for WiFi or Ethernet synchronization with external gear
• Six Sequencer Modes with sub-modes (15 in total)
• Polyphony: Mono to 32 simultaneous voices
• Five Sound Generators:
• Two synthesis-based (additive harmonic series, subtractive 3rd-octave filter)
• Two sample-based (granular time-stretch, looper)
• One resonant ping filter with scale selection (classic, experimental, microtuning, etc.)
• External Audio Input Channel
• Five Sound Effects Channels per generator and external audio:
• LCD: Light-Controlled Delay with dedicated LFO
• LCF: Light-Controlled Variable State Filter with dedicated LFO
• LCAM: Light-Controlled Amplitude Modulation/Distortion with

dedicated LFO
• LCFM: Light-Controlled Frequency Modulation with dedicated LFO
• LCGV: Light-Controlled Granular Reverb
• Light-Controlled Gate available for selected audio generators
• ‘No Screen’ approach, encouraging listening and playing by ear rather than relying on visual interfaces

EWI WX5 KAULDRON Free Patches Demo (iPhone 5s)


Published on Mar 18, 2018 mkirino01

"Demonstration of my original KAULDRON iPhone and iPad Patches for EWI and WX (Wind synthesizer / Breath controller)
You can download the patches free:
http://wx5.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-4...

Equipment:
YAMAHA WX5, iPhone5s (OS11.2.6), KAULDRON for iOS, and iRig MIDI
Backing track : iReal Pro for iOS

Setting tips:
Set your EWI or WX's breath output MIDI Control Change = 2 (aka. breath, B/C)
KAULDRON MIDI Maps:
Mod Ctrl 1 = CC2, Min = 0, Nax = 127
Mod Ctrl 4 = CC2, Min = 127, Max = 0

Short instal guide:
Download the MIDI Map file and the patches file.
Send the files to KAULDRON via iTunes (iTunes file sharing).
Import the MIDI MAP file : MENU / Prefs / Advanced MIDI Settings / MIDI Maps / (click Map name) /
Import the Pathes: (click icon of BANK Export) / iTunes Import

And set the parameter of KAULDRON: MENU / Pref / Pichbend Radius = 2

iPad Demo:"

KAULDRON with Wind MIDI Controller YAMAHA WX5 (first try)

Published on Nov 25, 2017 mkirino01

Synth App: YONAC KAULDRON
Equipment: YAMAHA WX5, iPad Air 2013 (OS11.1), and iRig MIDI
My First try of KAULDRON with Breath Controller (WX5 & EWI) !
From 0:46 --- Demo of My Original Patches using program change &
Loop backing with internal "TAPE" function.
From 3:40 --- Sound making, breath control, and modulation setting.
MIDI Maps:
84)Mod Ctrl 1 = CC2, Min = 0, Nax = 127
87)Mod Ctrl 4 = CC2, Min = 127, Max = 0
Modulation setting (example):
TARGET / MOD / CONTROL
1: Filter Freq / None / Mod Ctrl 1 (100)
2: Filter Freq / None / Mod Ctrl 1 (100)
3: Osc1 PW / None / Mod Ctrl 1 (85)
4: Voice Amp / None / Mod Ctrl 4 (100)"

Major Update for SunVox Released

iTunes: SunVox - Alexander Zolotov

"What's New in Version 1.8
* audio engine has been switched to 32bit (Floating Point) mode;
* other than 44100 sampling rate support;
* Audiobus 2 and IAA (partially) support;
* new Module View (Routing) functions: Zoom (with multitouch support), Snap to Grid;
* MetaModule: EDIT button has been added; now you can edit MetaModules without annoying Loading/Saving;
* MetaModule: additional options: Arpeggiator (change the pitch of internal MetaModule patterns), Apply velocity to song;
* Sampler: the following options have been added: Record on play (use it if you want to record in sync with the PLAY button), Record in mono, Record with reduced sample rate, Record in 16bit;
* SpectraVoice improvements: auto render, additional sample size, new band types (random, triangle1, triangle2, overtones1, overtones2, overtones3, overtones4);
