Erica Synths Steampipe - #superbooth24

video upload by motobor

"Check out my 10-minute jam with the Erica Synths Steampipe prototype. I really got into it when I discovered those awesome long scape and pad sounds. The reverb section is a standout feature and plays big part for achieving the result I got. While this synth is designed for wind instrument sounds, I was able to coax some unique tones from it too.#EricaSynths #Steampipe #Soundscapes #SynthSounds #Superbooth24 #superbooth"

"Erica Synths teamed up with Dutch company 112 dB to create the Steampipe—a unique, eight-voice, oscillator-free synth designed to mimic the way sound is created by wind instruments. The unit features three main sections: Steam, Pipe, and Reverberation.

The Steam section is modeled after the lungs and mouth of a wind instrument player, with a generator that creates the flow of "steam" and an envelope that determines the force in which it's blown out. The Pipe section is similar to a flute, featuring a push dial within the feedback box that bounces the steam to generate tone. Lastly, the reverberation section adds space and ambience."

Superbooth 2023: Erica Synths - Steampipe

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, Sonicstate spoke to Girts from Erica Synths about their latest creation, the Steampipe synthesizer. This polyphonic synthesizer has no oscillators and instead uses physical modeling to mimic how sound is generated in pipe organs, wind instruments, and string instruments. The synthesizer has several sections that allow users to adjust parameters such as air pressure, feedback, tuning, and reverb to create unique sounds. The Steampipe is still in development, but Erica Synths hopes to have it completed by the end of the year.

The Steampipe is designed to create naturally sounding wind and string instrument sounds, however, users can go beyond the traditional range of these instruments and explore a wider range of sub-octaves. The synthesizer also allows for polyphonic play with eight-voice polyphony when connected to a keyboard. Erica Synths is still tweaking the DSP engine and interface of the Steam Pipe synthesizer, but the production prototype seems to be working well.

Erica Synths STEAMPIPE The Synth with no oscillators!

"An interesting polyphonic synth with NO OSCILLATORS from Erica Synths... demonstrated by Girts and his daughter, who play clarinet in the Riga philharmonic. A talented family indeed!"

Update: post updated with:

"The 'in-phase' version of the video. The original upload recorded the outputs straight from the mixer at the booth, which must have had the chase inverted on one of the channels so it was silent for some of you. Now I'm back in the studio I've fixed it."

Erica Synths Introduces No oscillators, 8 voice polyphony STEAMPIPE

A new desktop synth from Erica Synths minus the ocillators?

Details follow:

No oscillators, 8 voice polyphony.

The Steampipe is a true physical modelling synthesizer developed in close collaboration with Dutch company 112.dB.

The Steampipe has no conventional oscillators. Instead, it mimics the way sound is created in wind instruments and it is fine-tuned to create a wide range of sounds - everything from wind instruments to strings, pipe organs, crazy effects and beyond. The Steampipe has three major sections – STEAM, PIPE and REVERBERATOR.

The STEAM section can be compared to the lungs and mouth of a musician. The generator creates the flow of air or “steam”, the envelope in this section determines the force with which it is blown out. DC/noise is the noise you get when blowing out. DC/Noise on the Steampipe can also be replaced with an external audio source.

The PIPE section can be compared to a flute. In the pipe, the tune is formed. Push (in feedback) bounces the steam like it does in a flute and generates the tone. The delay box subsection changes the flute’s tuning and shape.

The REVERBERATOR adds space and ambience to the sound.

The Steampipe is optimized for performance with wind MIDI controllers and it works great with any MIDI keyboard. The overtones the Steampipe produces are very organic and rich and it comes with great-sounding presets. The Steampipe is rather versatile and allows for nuanced sonic exploration, conjuring sonic imagery ranging from from wisps of cloud to fairground band organs, then to industrial horns of the railroad and finally, to massive, otherworldly ambiences.

"Continuum performance by Randy Kerber, music by John Williams
Randy Kerber writes: As far as the synths used with the Continuum, I used a Reaktor 5 ensemble called Steampipe 2, and I also used a simple modular CV synth made by Analogue System. Using the continuum in mono mode alone, the instrument is so wonderfully expressive that I was very happy to have it in my arsenal. In respect to timbres used with the continuum: A string cluster(polyphony made possible by a Pitch Shifter plug-in from Logic 8)which started from very, very soft and crescendoed to fortissimo. A low pad with modulated filter cutoff(Y-axis). A filtered sawtooth wave in heavy reverb and multiple delays doubling woodwinds at times and french horns in one instance.

I'm very excited about working more with Reaktor. I am quite encouraged by the myriad of possibilities, both
from the program and certainly from the continuum.

I look forward to more music with your fabulous controller." You can find the audio here.
