Tech Talk: Explore Lapalux’s London studio (Electronic Beats TV)

Published on Nov 4, 2019 Telekom Electronic Beats

"In almost a decade, Lapalux (aka Stuart Howard) has established himself as one of Brainfeeder’s most innovative artists. Since releasing his debut album, Nostalchic (2013) on Flying Lotus’ iconic LA-based label, he’s navigated a modern kaleidoscope of sounds, from British electronica, to soundscape-inspired IDM and downtempo introspection. In this Tech Talk on Telekom Electronic Beats TV, Lapalux divulges some of the production process and gear behind his personal style, most evident on his fourth and latest Brainfeeder album, Amnioverse.

Sequential Prophet-6 & eurorack system.

Sounds of the Seventies Jam (full version) all-analogue Eurorack Modular

Published on Nov 5, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"Live/real-time performance with a 70's-inspired Eurorack modular system, including AJH Synth modules based on a complete R.A.Moog era Minimoog and the 914 fixed filter bank from the Moog Model 55 modular synth. Turn on Subtitles for commentary.

I listen to a lot of so-called 'Berlin school' electronic music that featured these instruments, but I could never afford the originals, so having such a quality instrument in Eurorack format that's this close in terms of sound and technology is really special. This rig is closer to a Model 15 in terms of modules, but goes way beyond it in features and capabilities. The AJH Fixed Filter Bank 914 also has more functionality than its namesake, and my next video will spotlight this filtering monster, explaining a little more about what it does.

All modules are by AJH Synth, and I've also used their Precision Voltages, Ring SM, and Wave Swarm in this composition.

Sequences are driven by an Arturia Keystep, and overlaying notes played manually from a USB keyboard into an Expert Sleepers FH-2, then into the modular.

Recorded into AUM on an iPad, using Audio Damage Dubstation 2 delay and ShimmerFX reverb.

Landscape Stereo Field

"We explore the Stereo Field, a unique instrument by Landscape that acts as a stereo/quad processor, synthesizer or chaotic CV controller.

_____________

STEREO FIELD is one instrument with three uses. It is simultaneously a stereo/quad modular touch plate feedback atonal synthesizer, a stereo/quad audio processor and a pressure sensitive chaotic CV "controller". All three uses are available separately as well as simultaneously and in conversation with each other. The Stereo Field allows its user to manipulate and patch two analog stereo preamp circuits via touch plates. By utilizing skin conductivity as new paths for current to follow you are creating "new circuits" and new sounds in relation to where your fingers are patching. The individual touch plates are directly connected to nearly every connection point of every component in its circuitry (located directly under each corresponding touch plate). When touched with multiple fingers it will create atonal analog feedback with either of the two mirrored circuits represented by interlocking touch-plate circles. The resulting feedback can go beyond the abilities of human hearing (Take caution!) and down to the very slow clicks of a saw waveform and both can often be happening simultaneously."

Elk Audio OS Coms to the Raspberry Pi

"Elk Audio OS for everyone! - Elk releases open source version of award winning Audio Operating System and Development Kit for Raspberry Pi.

Elk Audio OS is the award-winning Audio Operating System from Elk (​formerly known as MIND Music Labs) ​that allows you to run existing VST and other plugin formats on hardware instruments and audio devices in real time with ultra low latency. And this using only ​general purpose ARM and x86 CPUs, opening up for a new generation of digital instruments and remote 5G network experiences.

In the upcoming weeks a beta version of the Elk Audio Operating System will be made available under a Dual licensing model (open-source & commercial), but already today, the Elk Audio OS SDK & documentation is available and is free for anyone to start using. Available on ​elk.audio is also an ​Elk Audio OS Development Kit for Raspberry Pi​ that includes a custom​ Elk Pi Audio Hat. The Elk Pi Hat alone is one of the most advanced pro Audio Hats in the markets with down to 1 ms latency, multichannel and support for Raspberry 4 coming up in the very near future.

'The idea behind the Elk Audio OS is to make a whole new generation of connected musical instruments possible. Instruments that can connect people around the world and spur new kinds of musical creativity. We believe there are so many potential instrument makers out there who could create fantastic things if they just had the right tools, and it is for them we have created Elk. So today I'm very happy to announce that we have reached a major milestone in our company, when we can make Elk available to everyone through the open source release.'
- Michele Beninicaso CEO at Elk (former MIND Music Labs)

Elk Audio OS is officially endorsed by ​Steinberg​, owners of the ​VST format, is supported in the VST3 SDK and is fully compatible with plugins written in ​JUCE​, making Elk the perfect solution for companies and makers alike interested in developing new digital hardware instruments. With VST being the defacto standard for software instruments and effects there is already a vast library of existing world class plugins out there waiting for a new life as hardware. An example of this is the Retrologue desktop prototype synth built on the VST synth with the same name debuted earlier this year at ​SuperBooth​ in Berlin.

'When working with Elk Audio OS on the Retrologue we immediately recognized something that could be a game changer. Running the same VST plugin on hardware as you do on desktop opens up for new possibilities and new ways of working. Getting Elk Audio OS available under open source is really exciting and I believe that this could make Elk a standard for digital hardware instruments.'
- ​Florian Haack, Steinberg

ADC
If you are one of the lucky ones to have grabbed a spot at the ​Elk workshop at this years ​ADC (Audio Developer Conference) this news should be even more exciting. Not only will you get a hands on workshop from the core team of developers behind the Elk Audio OS, but you are also the first ones out to get access to the full ​Elk Audio OS Development Kit​, including the ​Elk Pi Audio Hat​. For those of you who have not secured a spot, make sure not to miss the planned ​talk on Elk Audio OS​!"

Final Video of 4...Lots of great Patches from the Sledge, just highlighting what the Studiologic Sledge can do. All the Patches in the Bank use the a combination of the Wavetables, Modeled Waves and FM, however no Samples have been used.

Also used are some of the hidden parameters, such as other Filter types that are in the Waldorf Blofeld, though not accessible from the front panel of the Sledge, such as Notch Filters."

"THIS CAME FROM MY FATHERS ELECTRONICS LAB.
HE WAS AN ENGINEER FROM THE 1950'S TO
THE 1990'S. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS PANEL WAS
ORIGINALLY FOR. IT HAS NO MARKINGS OR NAME
BRAND ON IT. IT REMINDS ME OF THE PANELS ON AN
ANALOG COMPUTER FROM THE 1960'S.
THE PANEL IS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT HAS 7 BROKEN METAL
TONGUES ON THE BACK, AND A FEW MORE ARE BENT.
MOSTLY ON THE OUTSIDE ROW AT ONE CORNER.
THE SIZE OF THE PANEL IS 10.25 INCH X 9.25 INCH. 40 X 32 GRID.
EACH PLUG HOLE IS A SINGLE CONNECTION THROUGH TO THE METAL TONGUE
ON THE BACK. INCLUDES 6 PATCH CABLES AND 7 CABLES THAT
HAVE A PLUG ONLY ON ONE END. THERE ARE ALSO 8 SMALL
ADAPTER LIKE PINS."
