"New module soon:
The DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR.

It's a full synth voice (means: don't need anything else)
With 2 VCO that can works as VCF too.
for each VCO/VCF:
- A Wave Folder
- A bipolar VCA (almost like a dirty ring modulator)
The 2 VCA can works Left-Right or Mid-Side (!) mode.

And to have a full synth voice, tere is one LFO and one AD envelope.
And a lot of inputs and outputs to cook noodles ;)

The module was presented at SynthFest and SuperBooth, and should be available on september/october.

See more @www.larix-elektro.com."

Modular improvisation, July 2024

"I'm having the opportunity to use the case that LARIX-ELEKTRO use for demo. And so, deeply using some of LE modules. Especially the DULA UNDULA OSCILLATOR that should be available on september/October.

here an improvisation, Drone/noise.

Enjoy!"

LARIX-ELEKTRO CV and TRIG Generator, it''s so simple !

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"One more demo of the RITOURNELLE CV Generator and TRIG Generator.
Just to show how simple it is to use them.

Twist the knobs, find the right sequence, and it's done !

4TOMS, as a 4 voices synth

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Larix-Elektro 4TOMS is made to produce...toms (of course)
But as we're already seeing in other videos, it can do far more kind of sounds.

In this video, we show that you can use the module as a 4-voice synth.
The Pitch CV input is not 1V/Octave, but there is a lot of way to deal with...

The base is a sine sound, but with the TONE, we can add some distorsion.
And with the ACCENT, we can contrôle the volume and the shape of the attack.

I'm adding the Q-BIT DATA-BENDER to the sound, and then some delay and reverb. Nothing else.

Hacking the XAOC Berlin VCO

video upload by ALEQ Modular

"The XAOC Berlin is a digital VCO compatible with the Leibnitz system of XAOC. This system allows to play with bits: Interesting !

Here, I'm using the Leibnitz connectors, and two multiple from Larix-Elektro to have access to the 8 bits that generate the SAW wave.
Just because it's very simple way to convert the Leibnitz connectors into jacks !

And after, I'm explaining how to produce new kind of waveforms.

This is not a safe way to use the module. But its a good way to understand it, and thinking about acquiring some Leibnitz compatible modules, to play with bits !

Note:
The Multiple from LE is not yet available, this is a prototype originally designed to add I/O to others modules like the 4TOMS.
Shold be available after this summer.
Thanks to the LE CV Generator, and the Attenuverter Bank, from LE too...

PS:
Try this carfully: I haven't checked how the circuit is built, if the I/O of the Leibnitz connector are protected. So maybe you can damage your module...
I strongly recommande to use modules from the Leibnitz system instead."

4TOMS , deviant uses

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Larix-Elektro 4TOMS is made to produce tom sounds...
But in fact, this module can do more !

Here some example of creative use of the 4TOMS.
mainly by using an audio signal for the Trig input.
- VCO into a Tom
- A Tom into another Tom
- Audio file into Toms
- Crossfeedback without anything else, between two Toms.

Note: Watch this video that uses only the techniques explained above for the soundtrack:"

Hack the drums

video upload by ALEQ Modular

"A full improvisation of modular synth and drawing.

Here, I'm using only (and really only, no more modules !) the Larix-Elektro 4TOMS in a unusual way: Like the 'No Input Mixing ' technique, this is here a 'no input drums' technique.
To be more precise, it's simply taking the input of one tom, and connecting it to the trig input of another tom... and crosspatching these two toms.
Noises, rhythmic loops, sub...etc.

Of course, after recording a long time of improvisation, I'm cutting and mixing together various moments of this improvisation.

The drawing was done without having thought about it before. I only knew that I wanted to start with the drawing of a drummer, and twist this drawing with reminiscence of modular synth elements."

Hack the 4TOMS

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Larix-Elektro can be easly modified, yes !
The main components are through-holes. It means that you can change them easly !

here how to do it and some sound results.

So, with all the CV inputs, the jumpers, and the through-holes components, the 4TOMS is more than a basic four percussion generator."

LARIX-ELEKTRO 4TOMS How to CVs

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The 4TOMS is a quad tom generator, ok.... Boring module ???
No ! A lot of parameters can be controlled by CV (yes !).

In this video, we will see how to add more CV inputs, with the AttV-4 or the Mult. modules.
And so, adding maximum expressiveness to the Tom.

the video is a short moment from a long improvisation 'from scratch', which implements all the LE modules.
Here, all the sequences and sounds come from the LE modules:
With the introduction for the 1st time of the Dual Undula Oscillator which should be released after the summer.
- Ritournelle CV Generator and the Shift-R option
- Ritournelle TRIG Generator
- Ritournelle Time-Shifter
- Controle Attenuverter bank

4TOMS LARIX-ELEKTRO DEMO

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"New module from Larix-Elektro, out now:
AUDIO serie 4TOMS

It's a four voice of drum with a lot of CV controle, and a complete stereo mixer. With a lot of possibilites.
The sound can be gentle, or very dirty.

The perfect module to build drum, tom, clave, bell or even strange FX."

via LARIX-ELEKTRO

"I'm pleased to introduce you to a new module in the new AUDIO series, the 4TOMS.

The 4TOMS is a set of four fully analog percussive voices with a lot of CV control, and with a full stereo mixer. It can generate a lot of various drums, and even kick drums or rimshot.

But the module can go further:
- Bell like, or FX sounds with the CV controle.
- Gentle drums, or very dirty saturated sounds.

The launching price will be 340€.

The module was firstly presented at SynthFest Nantes, and will be presented at SuperBooth too with some other new modules."

Beta testing a new module from LARIX-ELEKTRO

video upload by ALEQ Modular

"This is a new module from Larix-Elektro.
I'm testing the prototype.... For a Noise/Drone/Ambient/Indus like impro.

It's a dual oscillator based on sinus and wave folder.
With a strange mixer output that allows Mide-Side processing, or dual ring-mod kind of effect. ... and some more feature.

I'm using the module only: no others effects added, even during editing on the computer (no "mastering")

SOUNDMIT 2023 - THE NEW WAVE OF FRENCH MODULAR - LARIX ELEKTRO

video upload by SOUNDMIT

"Anche @larix.elektro è per noi un nuovo espositore, lo avevamo conosciuto all'ultima edizione del @SynthFestFrance dove di solito i synth che ricevono la maggior attenzione sono quelli a tastiera e i vintage ma dove, come al @SOUNDMIT si fa sempre più presente la presenza di produttori 'local' di synth modulari.

"@larix.elektro is also a new exhibitor for us, we met them at the last edition of @SynthFestFrance where usually the keyboards and vintage synths receive the most attention, but where, as at @SOUNDMIT, the presence of 'local' modular synth manufacturers is increasingly noticeable.

@larix.elektro est également un nouvel exposant pour nous, nous les avions rencontrés lors de la dernière édition du @SynthFestFrance où les claviers et synthés vintage reçoivent généralement le plus d'attention, mais où, comme au @SOUNDMIT, la présence de fabricants de synthés modulaires 'locaux' se fait de plus en plus remarquer.

MS Processing in Eurorack - using the Attenuverter Bank

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"MS Processing is a way to manage the stereo image or to make some special FX, often used for mixing and mastering. The idea is to convert a stero signal (Left-Right) into 2 signals: Mid and Side. In that way, we can process differently the center and the side of the stereo. And after that, going back to a Left-Right signal.

This is something the new CONTROLE Attenuverter Bank can do very easly.
This is also an example of a complexe patch that the Attenuverter Bank can do.

"Here is the overview of the new LARIX-ELEKTRO module:
CONTROLE Attenuverter Bank contains four by four attenuverters.
But it can be used as 4 mixers, or 4 dispatcher, or a 4x4 matrix, ..or a mix of all these possibilities.

A center piece for managing CV and audio!"
