"A classic sequencer of the 70's. This is not a synthesizer, it was (forits time) a sophisticated 16-step sequencer used to control othersynths. You create your sequences with the sliders. Adjust the slidersto change pitch while each slider represents a sixteenth note, forexample, in the 1 bar pattern it loops. It uses the ancient ControlVoltage (CV) and Gate protocols to play your sequences on another analogsynthesizer. Because of the various types of CV/Gate used by differentmakers at the time, the ARP Sequencer works perfectly with the ARP 2500, 2600, Odyssey, Avatar andother ARP synthesizers as well as Roland, Oberheim and SequentialCircuits. To interface the Sequencer with other types of CV/Gate capablesynths would require a CV converter box. This unit has been tested and is in working condition..."

"The Elements MIDI modules provide a large variety of options with hands-on control and interactive feedback. Each module works with our Elements system and can be mixed and matched to create your own controller layout. Element modules come with the necessary ribbon cables.

The 16K Module contains sixteen rotary potentiometers.

Full overview of the Elements system

Introducing Livid Elements, the completely modular MIDI controller platform. Now you can finally create your own controller layout without any soldering, electronics, or complicated assembly required.

Element modules come in many different configurations and layouts so you can rearrange, replace, and mix modules, creating your own MIDI controller with ease. Each module connects to the Elements Brain for easy plug-and-play configuration and setup. Elements modules are housed in one of our custom eurorack cases for total plug-and-play integration. The standardized, modular format allows for an incredible amount of flexibility and expansion.

Elements is based around the eurorack format, a popular analog synth standard of modules and enclosure sizes so you can create your own customized setup. The threaded rails of the cases make it easy to connect and configure your controller by simply plugging the module into the Brain and fastening it to the rails. The Elements Configuration Utility lets you configure your layout and edit your MIDI settings. With a growing list of available modules (don’t forget: you can create your own Elements, too!) we’ve designed this system to grow with you and the community of people making modules for the Elements system. Our own DIY Omni boards are also compatible with the Elements system.

Whether you are recording, mixing, performing live, or need a unique setup for your show control, Elements gives you complete control over your system. Our Element modules provide a large variety of options with hands-on control and interactive feedback. If you’re mixing multitrack audio or performing visuals, Elements empowers you with your very own set of options to suit your needs. Mix and match modules, swap them out for different setups, and even create your own module designs. Elements gives you the flexibility of a modular system that can grow and change with your needs.

With a USB port, MIDI in and out jacks, and an optional 5v power supply, Elements is a massively flexible controller solution. Whether performing with Ableton Live, mixing visuals with Cell DNA, DJing with Traktor, or controlling your favorite analog gear, Elements provides a wide range of control possibilities.

In addition to our own Elements module offerings, we’ve created a Hardware Development Kit (HDK) for other companies, artists, and designers looking to create and share their own modules. Our system allows buttons, rotary potentiometers, fader, pressure sensitive pads, leds, encoders, sensors, and other analog devices to be connected through Livid and third party modules.

Cases

Our Elements cases come in multiple sizes, giving you the flexibility you need to mix and match modules. These cases are crafted in our Austin, Texas facility with strong aluminum and hand finished mahogany end caps. We’ve designed them with standard Eurorack sizing, which allows them to work with many existing Eurorack analog synth gear. An optional power supply panel can also be ordered to replace the MIDI ports panel to accommodate analog synth power supplies. These cases also have removable backs for easy access to your modules."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 OS Update with New DNA Synth & CWO Effect

OP-1 May 2013 OS Update - DNA and CWO

Published on May 29, 2013 djthomaswhite·83 videos

Additional videos below.

"This video is an introduction and demo of the May 2013 OS update to the amazing Teenage Engineering OP-1 synthesizer music machine. In this update two astounding new features are added in the form of the "DNA" synthesizer engine and the "CWO" Frequency Shifting Delay. The DNA engine is a noise engine capable of complete aggression and fax machine battle while at the same time possessing the ability for harmonic tonal leads and chords. The CWO FX is a Frequency Shifter with a wide range that make it possible to do phasing, flanging, chorus, tremelo, ring mod and comb filter types of sounds. You have to hear it to believe it. CWO also represents the first partnership by Teenage Engineering with an outside developer to co-op code to add to the OP-1's already heavy arsenal of sound capability. This developer is the one and only sonic master mind Magnus Lidström of Sonic Charge.

I hope you enjoy the video and the demo. There is a longer video with more blabber and explanation of what is going on here http://youtu.be/WntQUO0A6qw (Keep in mind that the visuals you see were from a beta build and show graphics which have since been refined and polished. It's actually a good preview for those of you who wonder what steps are involved in an OP-OS Beta Testing process. Soon you will be able to upload this OS yourself and I look forward to hearing (and seeing) what you can create with this as well as part of the OP community.

The Song played on the iPhone in this demo is from my band Santoma and is called "See Me." We have other songs on Large Music and are planning the release of our completed downtempo/lounge album soon.

Note: This is a pre-release build and final features may vary slightly from those shown in these clips. All music is original and no creative rights have been infringed upon in the making of this video."


And the PRESS RELEASE followed by a longer version of the video above:

"Finally here, the new OP-1 OS is ready! This time we're again adding something completely new. For the first time in the history of the OP-1 we have teamed up with an external developer and invited them to create something fresh and unique for our unit. The result of this first collaboration is something truly spectacular.

CWO - Frequency Shifting Delay

From the sonic master mind Magnus Lidström of Sonic Charge comes CWO

We first met Magnus Lidström a few years ago at a developer party here in Stockholm, Sweden. Even before that we have all been huge fans of Magnus' work, such as Microtonic, Synplant and Bitspeek. When first thinking about doing something together for the OP-1 platform we discussed what could be ported. We soon came to the conclusion that an effect would fit really well. Inspired by Magnus' own Echobode, the new CWO effect is a frequency shifting delay with a twist, modified for the OP-1 format.

'I like the limitations. The four knobs on the OP-1 have been highly optimized, so that each one produces a drastic change in sound on its own. This combination of effects is uncommon and capable of producing a wide arrange of sounds, such as phaser, flanger, tremolo and dub echo. It is really good on drums and for making simple sounds more fun and complex.'

Magnus Lidström, Sonic Charge
We made the graphics for CWO to resemble a cow, digesting and processing the audio signal through it's four stomach compartments, producing a very unique result. We hope you will like it and look forward to hearing your sonic experiments! Chew away!

DNA - CPU ID Noise Synthesis

Also new in this update is a completely new synthesis engine: DNA

The new DNA synthesis engine adds CPU ID Noise Synthesis, meaning it's a noise synth, based on the Analog Devices 64-bit Blackfin processor ID, unique to every single OP-1 unit. Every synth will therefore potentially have a slightly different sound. Sometimes tonal, sometimes not, this engine adds a truly expanded sonic pallet to the OP-1. Filter, Wave number, Wave modifier and Noise can be directly controlled via the knobs. The DNA graphics is set to resemble a Kaleidoscope, where sound and visuals are abstractly interlinked. Developed in-house.

OS intro video by DJ Thomas White

INTRO VIDEO BY DJ THOMAS WHITE [video above]

Long time OP-1 user and beta tester DJ Thomas White made a sweet video introduction and demo of the OS update.

Watch and listen as he explores the power of DNA and CWO, resulting in a wide array of sounds, all created with the new OS. Available as a free preset pack!

Thanks Thomas!"

Teenage Engineering OP-1 May 2013 OS Update
Published on May 29, 2013 djthomaswhite·83 videos

"(Introductory NOTE: This is a longer original introduction to the new OS that I put together. It has outdated graphics that have since been polished. This is one example of what takes place during beta testing. All sound features are unchanged. There is a much more in depth level of explanation of operation of the new OS here and it would be a shame to have this sit on a shelf... so here you go.)"
