What's better than one Perkons? // Dual Erica Synths Perkons Jam

video upload by Dave Mech

"Courses, presets, samples and more at https://davemech.live/shop

Since I bought a white Perkons, I temporary have two Perkons in the studio before selling the blue one to a new happy owner. So I thought I'd make use of that situation and record a raw dual Perkons Jam. And I'll be damned, It's actually really fun to dual wield these! Enjoy this 160 bpm raw live performance.

Gear used:
2x Perkons
OTO BAM
Dreadbox Raindrops
PlayDifferently Model 1.4
OTO boum + Doctron IMC (from main out of mixer)
Slight post processing with iZotope Ozone"

Nightverb: First day noodlings (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Beware the title: 'First day noodlings'. This isn't a collection of pristine patches or sweetly controlled tone-perfect spaces. It is literally me with the Nightverb on day one twiddling the knobs trying to understand the various interactions and calibrations. But I figure that will be of interest to some. And since my daughter always laughs at how "incredibly niche" my channel is, well, surely it can't hurt.

I'm honored to have Nightverb serial number 0006 sent to me gratis by Erica Synths. Technically that should earn the "paid promotion" tag, and yet, saying that on this random hodge-podge doesn't seem quite right. And since I'm almost qualified as a member of the Erica Synths 10% discount club I think I've earned a pass on this one. Of course the truth is I would have bought this anyway if Erica Synths hadn't sent it to me, so at least this way I didn't have to sell anything - yay!

But about the Nightverb. It's armoured, beautiful and alive with grippy knobs. Reverb has never been so much fun or so fast to program. About halfway through the video I learn that 'late reflections' combined with 'infinite feedback' equals noise - but that's what day one gets you. Give it a few months and I'm sure all this will look painfully awkward. I also had the gain quite high and neglected to touch the low and high damp controls at all, but there's only so many parameters I can deal with fresh at one time. More videos to come of course.

I'm looking forward to pairing the Nightverb with the Zen Delay and Acidbox III though for this first outing I thought it should stay pure. Of course there are absolutely no DAW effects, EQ or limiting. I can certainly see cases in the future where a delay after the reverb could make for some interesting creations. Even so, just with the trusty DB-01 I did enjoy the pseudo poly-synth effect going 100% wet. Likewise the pre-delay with early reflections and feedback gave a good industrial delay. So much more I could say but I'll leave that for a talkie video.

If there's anything specific about the Nightverb I can answer, or a particular sort of audio demo you'd like to hear, let me know and I'll try to cover them in a second video.

Erica Synths x 112db NIGHTVERB sound demo

video upload by Erica Synths

"NIGHTVERB - a new hardware reverb effects unit developed in collaboration with 112dB. We focused on the musical aspect of the effect to create a stereo reverb with a unique and musical algorithm for playing individual notes, chords and creating massive, ambient textures.

Timeline:

00:00 - Take 1 / Chord from Casio played through the Nightverb
01:00 - Take 2 / Yocto-808 with added gain through a "small" room reverb
02:02 - Take 3 / Acoustic guitar send through the Nightverb which is controlled with BCR100 MIDI control pedal
02:50 - Take 4 / 12" record played through the Nightverb
03:46 - Take 5 / Juno-106 through the Nightverb
04:31 - Take 6 / Moog DFAM through the Nightverb with extra gain
05:38 - Take 7 / Acoustic guitar through the Nightverb where footswitch is configured to work as freeze button
06:12 - Take 8 / Bassline DB-01 through the Nightverb
07:28 - Take 9 / Bass guitar through the Nightverb"

Make Music Day: Erica Synths and Elektron featuring Perkons HD-01, Octatrack and Analog Heat+FX

video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Here's our little jam for Make Music Day using the Perkons HD-01 from Erica Synths, along with Elektron Octatrack and Analog Heat+FX. What music are you making?

In this video the Perkons is running into the Octatrack, which is live sampling and re-slicing the Perkons' audio. All audio is being processed by the Analog Heat+FX whilst adding a little reverb too."

ESK - 9x Syntrx Soundscape

video upload by Metunar

"A noisy wild soundscape improvised with 8 recorded and looped Erica Synths Syntrx tracks, played from the Akai MPC X and a live played and looped Syntrx track.
I used a lot of the Syntrx ringmodulation together with an external functiongenerator (Trio AG-203). With mastering.

Destiny Plus - Entanglement Space

video upload by NOISEBUG

https://www.noisebug.net/

"The audio that enters the Entanglement Space only faintly resembles the audio that exits. Reality is broken down to the sub-atomic, distorted, blended separated, and rearranged. Yet against all intuition and logic the signal still remains linked, faintly to its origin. The Destiny+ Entanglement Space will split your concept of what DSP effects can/should be into a trillion bits and command a redefined perception of sonic reality.

It’s also just a lot of fun to play with!

We – Erica Synths and Moritz Klein – have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.

NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals which can be downloaded separately, therefore we will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar."

Sound Diary: May 2024 // Dictaphones & Expressive Instruments

video upload by Michael Manning

Performance starts at 8:36.

"This video is something I've been thinking about making for a while, creating a home for the music I write that sits outside of an album or soundtrack. Instead of aimlessly uploading jams and performances, I'm contextualising them with my thoughts and process more directly.

For this episode, I talk about some of the instruments I've been using to write with including the Erica Synths Dada Noise System 2, Haken Continuum Mini, Expressive-E Osmose and Battery Operated Mini Mello.
