SDS_VCO+Reflex LiveLoop

Published on Feb 7, 2017 freshnelly

"This video was created during testing of the prototype SDS_VCO (3D printed black 3HP thing) connected to a Reflex for the first time. The sound from 1 little VCO is great when feeding a synced delay!

Two sequencers are in play, the ModEM-1 as a sequencer/clock source feeding the MI Frames, then CV added to the ModEM-1 sequence. All of the Frame's outputs are offset from a 10V LFO slowly (50 seconds) cycling a sine wave.

The SDS_VCO, coming soon, is set to use the MOD input to select 16 different waveforms (13 fixed + 3 custom) giving the mix a wide range of ever changing timbres. The bottom Wave knob can offset by 16. Also the CV input is set to quantize to one of the16 scales available.

I listened to this patch for hours!"

Reflex LiveLoop Flash-8 Expansion Loading and Saving

Published on Nov 22, 2016 freshnelly

"Here's the first (not great, have a cold!) video showing the Flash-8 loading and saving sessions. Live Sequences and settings can be saved as they are and will all re-load exactly (like a snap-shot).

A interesting use (pointed out to me today) would be to make a clocked sequence (or a bunch of "notes" that will become a sequence when clocked) and save it. Upon loading, a patched clock, or a MIDI clock will start the sequence playing on cue.

Might as well, all those Slices are there anyway!"

Reflex + Flash-8: Auto-Slicing Drum samples via MIDI in DAW

Published on Nov 23, 2016

"This is a really easy way to get all of the little samples into the Reflex and save them as a session. In this case drums are being sampled, fully automatically.
A RECord is started via the Record note A-1, then at each sample a SLICE note is sent(F-1). Generally this will be fine if your 'puter latency isn't too much, 6-8mS, and not advanced to the MIDI -as the next drum will start before the next Slice ends the previous-
After all samples are in, the REC button is held, (same note F-1), but longer, (about 1second), and the new Slices are played. At this point they can be saved as a session for instant loading."

SDS Digital Reflex LiveLoop & ModEM-1 LFO & ADSR Eurorack Modules

Published on Sep 14, 2016 freshnelly

The above is a playlist of all the videos currently featured on the freshnelly channel. The first 29 are on the SDS Digital Reflex LiveLoop eurorack module, followed by four on the ModEM-1 LFO & ADSR, followed by a few DIY videos.

The following is some info on SDS Digital Reflex Liveloop module via freshnelly.com. I couldn't find additional info on the ModEM-1 LFO & ADSR as the home page requires Flash which I do not have installed.

"Introducing the Reflex LiveLoop! The tradition of sampling in the modular world has always been guitar pedal loopers, offering no external control, or a large complex external box, or modules with only 3 or 4 seconds of sample time. The Reflex LiveLoop breaks all of these barriers by gracing your rack with only 16HP, but sporting a full 174 seconds of sampling time @48KHz 16 bits, in stereo! This is better than CD quality sound, ready to manipulate with CV's and triggers in multiple layers, and record all at the same time.

The Reflex can slice up a long sample using the unique "peak slicing" algorithm, a trigger, or just a button. The power of these slices is then accessible via CV and trigger. Furthermore, they can be modified with the PlayFX button to tune the start and end points for each slice. These slices, or even samples, can also be Granulized into a micro loop, which then can move reverse or forward at varying rates up to 2 times. This also allows for pitch shifting a sample without changing the beat, or changing the speed without changing the pitch.

With 3 different Modes, Record/Play, Echo, and Layer, all with the ability to sync to an external clock, almost every sampler /looper requirement can be realised. Imagine an echo, synced by a trigger/ clock/ foot switch/ Record button, with controlled feedback and even a 3 band EQ. Then imagine it being 30 seconds or 8 bars long! The echo can be switched to an infinite echo that will continue forever, or can degrade according to feedback settings, EQ settings, or a feedback insert that can run through any filter or FX that you can imagine!

The Reflex LiveLoop can take you intuitively on a sonic voyage you don't want to miss!
