radiator: the laser synthesizer co-created by Andrew Kilpatrick of Kilpatrick Audio

Published on Jul 2, 2019 Neon Captain

Currently on Kickstarter here.

This one was sent my way via Pat. Note although the primary focus of radiator is a laser light synthesizer, it has audio and CV out. I asked Andrew Kilpatrick about the audio out and he had the following to say:

"Normally the outputs would carry the X and Y signals that move the mirrors. I’ve experimented with it quite a bit and generally it sounds like a very stereo drone, but it could be used as a pitched sound source with voltage or MIDI control. The cool part is that you hear what you see, so it’s basically the most true kind of visualization!

We intend to also have modes that modulate the laser to audio or CV inputs, allowing any parameter of the laser patch to be controlled in real-time from another instrument. Radiator is a flexible type of synth with a modules optimized for making vector graphics, but it all works in the audio range so there are many creative possibilities for musicians."

And regarding the CV out:

"The CV outputs let you use the internal LFOs as sources for other synths and effects. Since a laser preset might have some kind of rhythm to it, you could patch this to other gear to have it work in sync."

The following is the official press release for radiator along with some hi-res pics. Click on the them for larger versions:

"Got everything sync'ing in my live rig and this little piece appeared while I was practicing. I love 16 horsepower and Wovenhand & was wanting to 'borrow' something of their aesthetic"

Vintage Roland TR-707 With TB-3 Bassline Synth

Published on Jul 7, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Today is 7/07 so we thought we would upload this video of the Roland TR-707 drum machine. This 12 bit sample based machine came out in 1985 and has the famous XOX style drum sequencer where you can quickly program patterns. We used a Roland Aira TB-3 for the bassline to go along with the 707 drums in this video.

The TR-707 provided drums for many classic Acid House tracks and has a great sounding hi-hat and distinctive cowbell. Read our article about the 707 here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal..."
