♫ Jamming With a Bunch of Synths ♫ ----- (79)

"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.

Landscape Noon - Dual

video upload by Bata

"Using a Make Noise 0-CTRL to sequence/modulate channel 2 (Dual) on the Landscape Noon.

This is a patch for 1 voice on the Landscape Noon. Some other voices might be influencing the sound due to how the Noon works but no CV/Gates are going to the other channels except through the mod inputs (which go to all channels)."

NOON passive drum/synth @ 144bpm

video upload by Landscape

"Here’s Noon receiving 144bpm gates to a few different channels. This was edited down from a 12min take but the voltages and pattern coming out of the Beat Step Pro (powering Noon) stayed the same. The changes in movement/rhythm are the result of interactions between different channels and muting/unmuting incoming pitch CV for modulation. The design of Noon is focused on interaction between channels to create unexpected results that are derived from your original rhythmic intention. #synth #electronicmusic #producer #composer #sounddesign"

Errorinstruments Introduces Singularity Tropical Noise Eurorack Module

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas

Singularity talking with wobbler off

"Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to tell you about the new Singularity Eurorack module. It's truly something else! With its active and passive function, as well as open clock dividers, it offers a unique experience compared to other tropical noise modules. It can even work accidentally as a passive drum machine for experimental purposes. It reminds me a lot of NOON, the beautiful big drum Synthesizer from Landscape. Singularity also has a function that allows you to use a passive and active in-between soda sounds of an oscillator, resulting in a striking difference in sound when using 5 volts compared to 12 volts. You can check out this amazing module on www.errorinstruments.com. Stay tuned for more demonstrations coming soon! Plus, it comes with a bag of capacitors that you can switch, and three patch cables. It's a beautiful and compact 16 HP module. Enjoy exploring its possibilities! 😊"

Sculpting Electricity with Landscape FM Noon

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"A deep dive into the Noon passive analog drum synth, designed by Landscape FM and Mystic Circuits. This video provides an in-depth walkthrough of Noon and how it works, along with a number of demos and patch examples of Noon in combination with hardware sequencers / touch controllers, Eurorack modular synths, acoustic instruments, and effects pedals. We’ll also go over what 'passive' means and how a passive synth like Noon works."

imaginary Friend is an experimental full modular synthesizer. It can be rhythmic and droning aggressive or minimalistic and everything in between! There are three different sound sources that you can mix: wave; with endless different sounds, sub: deep sine oscillator and FX resonator: as resonator FX and self-oscillation sound generator."

Superbooth 22: Landscape - Noon

video upload by sonicstate

"Eric Pitra from Landscape introduced us to a very interesting instrument: Noon, a passive, un-powered analogue drum and synthesizer.

Noon utilizes incoming CV and Gate voltages to power each of its 8 analogue circuits. Linked together they can grow, inform and process one another in complex rhythmic ways with lots of lovely organic instability.

Noon availability: August 22 Price: 680 USD"

New Landscape NOON 8 Channel Powerless Instrument

via Landscape (demos on site) Overview✺

WHO❀ Noon

WHAT❈ An 8 channel powerless instrument which is activated and modulated using voltage from external sequencers.

HOW✷ Analog circuits are powered momentarily by incoming gate and control voltage signals causing them to oscillate and breath naturally. When these circuits are linked together they can grow, inform and process one another in complex rhythmic ways.

WHY❃ This technique increases the unstable properties of analog circuits, causing increased organic textures and movement. The simple controls are provided to ensure immediacy and access to rapidly alter sounds and movement without patching.

WHERE✾ The simplicity of the interface was designed with live performance in mind. The number of internal and external variables (control voltage types, linked channel behavior plus external audio input) create lots of room for studio exploration.

WHEN✻ We plan to have pre-orders open by end of January 2022

IN-DEPTH✹

NOON is a passive analog drum/synthesizer. Each of the eight channels uses a unique analog circuit with its own characteristics. No power supply is needed. Each circuit is triggered and powered individually from incoming gates or control voltages provided by voltage sequencers or modular systems. By using this unique method, we can increase instability and magnify organic aspects of traditional analog electronic instruments. The sound of analog, at its core, is the sound of sculpted electricity. By removing the stabilizing elements of a constant power source, we can listen to the sound of electronic circuits loading and unloading, powering up and powering down, and we can increase the natural chaotic movement of electricity. The loading of circuits creates natural ways to access swing and groove or ways to deconstruct a programmed rhythm sequence to make surprisingly new ideas.

Each channel is represented by a tuning fork. Incoming voltage can be thought of as a way to “strike” each fork with momentary voltage. Between every channel there are Link buttons which allow voltage sharing between channels. Linking them provides a wide mix of results depending on incoming voltage, active or inactive channels, slider settings, gate lengths and multichannel linking. The results can be described as cross modulation, growth (creating a larger and more complex circuit), or processing (filtering, distortion). Due to the cycles of voltage and this inherent instability, a definition of what is actually occurring between channels can be hard to pin down. The eight Mod buttons, which are located at the bottom of each tuning fork, change the behavior and sound of each circuit. The eight latching CV buttons along the top allow the “☾” Even and “❍” Odd CV modulation inputs to route to even and odd channels. When incoming CV is unmuted, a channel’s behavior can change drastically and this behavior can change further when channels are linked. These CV inputs are a way to add microtonal pitch changes and/or large textural movement to voices. The Even and Odd CV inputs are summed to their respective channels to provide a rhythmic modulation reference between multiple channels. ⏚
