A Nostalgic Phase

Published on Jul 17, 2017 voltlife

"I just got myself a Minilogue, which is the first analogue polyphonic keyboard I've had in a long time, so of course the first thing I did was run it through Kaminiec for liquid phasey sweeps that took me right back to my JMJ-idolising childhood. Add a chugging bassline through plenty of delay, some low-fi analogue percussion and some random squelches, and the 70s electronic nostalgia-fest is complete.

It's not all retro analogue styles, though. The Minilogue chords (shamelessly stolen from you-know-who) go through Kamieniec into Clouds, which I use to pitch shift and freeze the output. Clouds is modulated by an Erica Octasource and occasionally trigger by bursts from Drezno, while Demora and Erbe Verb add echoes and space to the bassline and percussion. There are a few missteps with chords and mixing, but it's fun to play!"

Trippy in Kamieniec

Urs Heckmann aka u-he.

"Minimal Modular Synth performance.

I'm currently in a phase where I enjoy building a whole idea within just a small, contained rack. This time using the Vermona rack with a bunch of their 1U multiples/mixers.

3 Bass/percussion voices: Used Tempi and Bytom to cut up gates and clocks from Metropolis to generate three different rhythmic bass/percussion lines from STO and MiniMod VCO (through MMG, uFold and LXd). All of this through DLD.

Solo Voices: Using Maths as envelope (RingMod via Blinds) and control voltage for a random melody with Dixie II+ , displaced by Batumi /w Sport Modulator and scaled by uScale II. Using MiniMod VCF as Filter/Volume control for this melody. Put a Kamieniec on top of that, which in the beginning is heard by itself as fx sweeps in self oscillation (ringmod'd through cycled Maths).

Mixed, delayed, equalised and limited in Logic."

Modular Minutes: XAOC Devices Kamieniec & Belgrad Chords

Published on Mar 16, 2017 Analogue Zone Showroom / Synths and Studio

"Modular Minutes: XAOC Devices Kamieniec & Belgrad Chords

We decided to make a clash between the analog & the digital: Qu-bit's Chord which is a wavetable VCO is processed by 2 analog monster filters/phasers from Xaoc Devices, while it also gets some stereo DSP treatment at the end by Erica Synths Pico DSP! The rhythms and sequencing plus the audio dynamics are enhanced by other modules from 4ms, Erica Synths & Intellijel Designs plus one side of the new Xaoc utility Samara is used to turn some modulation signals inside out. An extra icing oscillation sweep is coming from the PGH Osc V2! All in all, lot of sounds and a lot of possibilities. We had this patch running for days in the showroom!"

Modular Minutes is a weekly short video series from the Analogue Zone Showroom!"

VOLTLIFE: Kamieniec in the feedback loop of a delay

Published on Dec 31, 2016 voltlife

"It's common to use a high- or low-pass filter in the feedback loop of a delay, but phasers can also produce attractive effects. This is a short demonstration of Xaoc Devices' Kamieniec phaser in the feedback loop of Roland Demora delay module."

XAOC Devices Kamieniec Demo

Published on Dec 20, 2016 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The XAOC Devices Kamieniec is an analog phase shifter inspired by classic 1970s OTA-based phaser designs, but optimized for use within the Eurorack modular ecosystem. Featuring four variable phase stages and two fixed stages, the Kamieniec offers extended control of a traditional phaser topology, for everything from simple notch filtering to intense seasick outer space frequency sweeps."

XAOC Devices - Kamieniec

Published on Dec 15, 2016 DivKidVideo

"Here's the Kamieniec from XAOC Devices fulfilling all your phaser needs and more! Turns out to be a nice little noise machine on it's. It will do warm and subtle phasing through to more obvious swooshes and onto bonkers territory."

All Creatures Festival

"All Creatures Festival

4-part suite performed live on a modular synthesizer and mixed in Ableton Live.

1. While Everyone Sleeps, Tiny Creatures Decorate (Extended)
2. Arise for Celebration! (Extended)
3. Welcome the Larger Beasts (Extended)
4. And They All Rejoice ‘Til Dawn (Extended)

Visit http://lightbath.bandcamp.com to download a studio edit of the suite along with the four extended versions featured in the videos.

PATCH NOTES
============

This suite explores four variations within a single modular synthesizer patch.

René generates the initial pitch and rhythm. Ornament + Crime’s Quantermain app re-quantizes (and re-re-quantizes) pitch from René while Just Friends modulates the rhythmic triggers from René and creates envelopes with those triggers. Ornament + Crime is also running a Turing Machine as CV source in Quantermain to generate pitches for Rings, which is being heavily processed by Kamieniec and Belgrad.

VOLTLIFE: Kamieniec quick patch

Published on Dec 6, 2016 voltlife

"My first exploration with Xaoc Devices' Kamieniec phaser. Sorry for the shaky camerawork, but it sounded so good I just wanted to get it out there!

The input is some chords from Braids in WTx4 mode, sequenced by a Verbos Multistage, with occasional changes to the chord timbre. The 4 and 6 stage outputs of Kamieniec are used as a stereo pair, with some delay added externally.

Modulation is mostly simple, but in the last part I run the Kamieniec's LFO output through a Doepfer A189-1, mostly in XOR mode. This creates interesting quasi-fractal stairstep patterns, which is added to the internal triangle LFO to produce a mix of typical phaser swoops and almost chiptune-like chirps."
