Intellijel Rainmaker Tutorials


Published on Jun 14, 2017 intellijel

"The Intellijel/Cylonix RAINMAKER eurorack-format module provides a high-quality (96KHz sampling rate with 32-bit internal processing) stereo rhythmic delay and stereo comb resonator effect."

Playlist:

1. Intellijel/Cylonix Rainmaker - Delay Section Tutorial
"In this video we focus on the Rhythm Delay section. The stereo rhythm delay has 16 taps, each with its own resonant 2nd-order filter and granular pitch shifter. The filters have independently adjustable resonance and cutoff frequency, and can be set to either lowpass, bandpass, highpass or bypass operation. The filters are also capable of self-oscillation, enabling modal synthesis techniques. The granular pitch shifters have a range of 15 semitones up or 16 semitones down. Each tap can repeat at a rate value set in tap#’s in order to create regenerating echo effects. The feedback signal has a lowpass/highpass tone control and its own pitch shifter. The tap delay times can range from 0.1 millisecond up to a maximum of 20 seconds. The overall delay times can be set with the rotary encoder, the tap tempo button, or synced to an external clock."

2. Rainmaker - Utility Operations Tutorial
"In this video we look at the Utility Operations section made up of Routing & Config, Meters & Gain, Save/Load, and the Mod Controls."

3. Rainmaker - Comb Resonator Section
"In this video we move on to the Comb Resonator section. The stereo comb resonator section has 64 time-delayed taps which are summed together. This produces a deep comb filter or resonating effect. At large comb sizes (long time delays) a multiple echo effect is produced. The density of the resonator can be varied from 1 tap all the way up to 64 taps."

4. Modal Synthesis With Rainmaker
In this tutorial we explore how to use the Rainmaker as a Modal Synthesizer.

5. Managing Rainmaker Presets With Laser Mammoth
Rainmaker presets can be managed using a free online utility called Laser Mammoth. In this video we will learn how to use it and what it can do.

6. Rainmaker - CV Selection of Presets
By setting Trigger Mode to Preset Load, and Mod A to Preset #, Rainmaker Presets can be selected using CV and Gate signals.

7 Karplus Strong Synthesis on the Rainmaker
The Rainmaker is uniquely capable of generating tones using Karplus Strong Synthesis. In this video we learn how to accomplish this, along with some tips and techniques to try.

"The Intellijel/Cylonix RAINMAKER eurorack-format module provides a high-quality (96KHz sampling rate with 32-bit internal processing) stereo rhythmic delay and stereo comb resonator effect.

The stereo rhythm delay has 16 taps, each with its own resonant 2nd-order filter and granular pitch shifter. The filters have independently adjustable resonance and cutoff frequency, and can be set to either lowpass, bandpass, highpass or bypass operation. The filters are also capable of self-oscillation, enabling modal synthesis techniques. The granular pitch shifters have a range of 15 semitones up or 16 semitones down.

The tap delay times can range from 0.1 millisecond up to a maximum of 20 seconds. The overall delay times can be set with the rotary encoder, the tap tempo button, or synced to an external clock.

The stereo comb resonator section has 64 time-delayed taps which are summed together. This produces a deep comb filter or resonating effect. At large comb sizes (long time delays) a multiple echo effect is produced. The density of the resonator can be varied from 2 to 64 taps. The tap with the longest delay time is fed back to the input. High feedback levels, with short comb sizes, produce “Karplus-Strong” types of plucked string sounds. The relative timing of the 64 taps are set according to one of 16 different preset patterns, which provide different resonator timbres or echo rhythms. The comb size can be set either with the rotary encoder, an external clock or through a transposable 1v/oct input voltage.

The Rainmaker module has extensive voltage control capabilities. Direct voltage control is available for the delay feedback level and tone, the global pitch shift for all delay taps, the comb resonator size, and comb feedback level. There are two assignable modulation inputs, which can be assigned to different parameters in each preset. A trigger input with assignable functionality can trigger built-in types of noise bursts, freeze the delay buffer, reverse the delay, randomize parameters, mute taps, and much more."

XAOC Devices Drezno and Lipsk Compute Lofi and Distorted Drum Loops and Turn LFOs into Sequencers


Published on Jun 14, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Demonstrating some of the unique features of the XAOC Drezno and Lipsk Eurorack Modules. The Drezno is an 8bit ADC and DAC that can be use for bit reduction or shuffling, or many other things. The internal high frequency clock can be overridden with a slower one for sample rate reduction sounds. The Lipsk expander allows you to invert bits between the ADC and DAC for massive amounts of distortion.

The first part of this video shows the Drezno and Lipsk distorting a drum loop that is playing on a Make Noise Morphagene. The second part shows how these modules can turn an LFO wave from an Intellijel Dixie II+ into a melodic sequence as well as a weird drum sequence, triggering two Erica Synths Pico Drums.

ELEKTRON DIGITAKT DEMO SAMPLING RANDOM THINGS ~ Bongos, Caxixi, Guitar, FM Radio, etc.


Published on Jun 14, 2017 once upon a synth

"Elektron Digitakt sampling demo. I start off by sampling percussion like bongos, a tambourine, caxixi and other random things like the merlin dulcimer guitar, shot glasses and an FM radio. I then process the sounds, arrange them into kits and begin performing live weird techno music."
