Mutable Instruments Elements Eurorack Resonator Synth Module DIY Clone

"Mutable Instruments Elements Eurorack Resonator Synth Module Clone New Black/Gold Build 2018 MINT!

Mutable Instruments Elements built by an electronics engineer (Momo Modular) with ten years of experience. Calibrated and tested, with factory firmware. Includes screws and ribbon cable. Briefly used only in a smoke/pet free pro studio.

Elements is a full-blown synthesis voice based on modal synthesis – an under-appreciated flavour of physical modelling synthesis with a strange and abstract feel.

Elements combines an exciter synthesis section generating raw, noisy sounds characteristic of bowing (filtered friction noise), blowing (pitch-controlled granular noise), or striking (stick, mallet, hammer or brush sample playback… or bursts of synthetic impulsions).

These sources, or external audio signals, are processed by a modal filter bank – an ensemble of 64 tuned band-pass filters simulating the response of various resonant structures (plates, strings, tubes…) with adjustable brightness and damping. A stereo ambience reverberator adds depth and presence to the sound.

All parameters have a very meaningful and well-delimited impact on the sound. When designing Elements, great care has been taken in selecting parameter ranges and control curves, producing a large palette of sounds – often beyond physical realism – but always well controlled and stable. The “dark spots” of noise and feedback are reached gradually, and they do still react to controls. The module is deliberately menu- and switch-free – what you dial/patch is what you hear!"

New Esion! iOS Looper by once upon a synth


My new looper iOS app Esion! Published on Mar 28, 2019 once upon a synth

"I'm excited to introduce Esion, my new texture looper iOS app. You get 3 free-running tracks and 4 effects. Each effect has an XY pad. The idea is to capture random vocal sounds or ambient sounds and turn them into strange evolving textures that you can use in your songs. It's available for both iPhone and iPad.

Download the app: http://bit.ly/esionapp"


"Esion is a sound design and experimentation tool. You start by recording an audio sample into one of 3 tracks (e.g. by whistling into the mic). As soon as you're done recording, the audio starts looping.

Now, here's the fun part! Each track is run through its own effect chain which includes a pitch shifter, bit crusher, delay and reverb. Each effect has 2 parameters you can adjust by positioning circles on the XY pad. You can also bypass any effect.

Tired of your recording? No problem, simply record over it. The effect settings remain in tact when you record a new sample. This allows you to experiment with different textures and quickly turn your simple samples into polyrhythmic, organic, unrecognizable sonic textures. Cool right?

Unlike traditional loopers, Esion is not time-sync'd or rhythm-based (i.e. it's not your standard guitar looper pedal). Instead, Esion is free flowing and designed to be used to create ambient experimental sonic textures and complex evolving loops.

After spending some time tweaking your sound, you can double-tap anywhere on the XY pad to start recording your performance. All your recordings are saved as wav files which you can then export into your favourite DAW and or share with your friends.

••• FEATURES •••
• 3 independent tracks.
• Record audio loops with the mic.
• Reverse the loops in real-time.
• Mute/Disable/Clear loops on the fly.
• Flexible architecture. You can turn all effects and tracks on/off independently.
• Run each track through 4 effects: Bit Crusher/Sample-Rate reducer, Time/Pitch Stretcher, Reverb, Delay.
• Each effect has a dedicated XY-pad to control parameters independently for each track.
• XY-pad dedicated to changing pan and volume for each track separately.
• Global record feature allows you to record everything you hear. Recordings are stored as wav files which you can export/share.
• While recording you can tweak all the parameters to create complex performances.
• Universal app (iPhone/iPad)

••• PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING •••
• This is *not* a tempo-sync'd/rhythmic/beat looper. If you're looking for a traditional looper app for making beats, this is not that app.
• Audiobus/IAA/AUv3/Ableton Link are *not* supported, sorry! I designed this to be a standalone sound design tool. Think: "Voice Memo" for aliens.
• While the app is primarily designed to be used with the built-in mic, you should be able to connect other interfaces and hardware too. I've tested it with the Roland Go:Mixer Pro and it worked fine but I can't guarantee that it'll work with all other hardware interfaces (since I can't test them all).

If you want to see the app in action please watch my YouTube videos (http://onceuponasynth.tv).

If you do get the app, thank you so much! I hope you create beautiful and strange sounds with it.

Made with 💚 in Canada."

Lightstorm - World's First Light Eurorack Synthesizer




Published on Mar 21, 2019 Strange Electronic


via Strange Electronic

"The Lightstorm Eurorack Case is a new type of interactive modular synthesizer case that integrates voltage-controlled LED lighting, adding visually stunning effects to live performance and giving inspiration in the studio. The Lightstorm Module brings creative lighting into the synthesizer workflow, going beyond audio-reactive effects. Now any control voltage - LFOs, envelopes, sequencers - can control full-spectrum LED lighting.

Henry Strange, founder and CEO of Strange Electronic, explains “Our company has been involved with professional touring, large fixed installations, and interactive happenings for over 10 years. Lighting is always, at least, HALF the show. We’ve made countless systems that integrate lights, controllers, and laptops. Now, with Lightstorm, we’ve found a fun and creative way to put lighting control directly in musicians eurorack systems.”

Renowned Los Angeles based producer and artist, Daedelus, currently utilizes the Lightstorm while touring around the world. “I’m very performance minded. Modular has opened this whole new vista to create sounds, but as an experience it can be very flat. I’m always looking for ways to embody the sounds and what better way than to create a light experience that is localized at my hands but expressed so much further, deformed by my sounds but inhabiting the actual space of the instrument.”

Using the Lightstorm is similar to other eurorack format modules. With the Lightstorm Module, the same control signals used to make music can be used to make a light show. This makes it easy for musicians to control lights without learning a lighting technology like DMX. The Lightstorm comes with a light strip but the LED output port will connect to many forms of LED devices, giving the user another way to personalize their lighting.

The Lightstorm Eurorack Case is an 84hp, 6U case bundled with a 30W power supply and built-in LEDs controlled by the Lightstorm Module. With frosted acrylic sides, the RGB LEDs can flash, pulse, and glow up to 1000 lumens of light in all directions. The ergonomic angle of the case allows the audience to see the performer work the modules while playing comfortably. This brings the audience into the performer’s craft rather than staring at the back of a box or the back of the artist. When in the studio, the case can stand upright, saving space and acting as a piece to beautify your space."
