"The current line of Erica Synths DIY series modules will be discontinued & the remaining stock is available with 15 % off
Erica Synths has decided to shift the focus of its DIY kit development towards more educational kits, designed for learning the basics of electronics. They will be simple, affordable kits with extensive manuals about building and “how it works” and recommendations for modifications and experiments with design. We want to provide exciting teaching aids for electronics classes and for people who want to get deeper into electronics. Modules will be eurorack-compatible but will have some design compromises in order to make them understandable for beginners in electronics. We will continue to retail our current DIY modules while stocks last. We will not make future runs of our current designs and will terminate the customer support for DIY designs in the time of a year."
"Hillman is a synthlike instrument inspired by old combo-organs, string machines and similar vintage gear. It has 4 voices per note, each with selectable waveform (transistor:ish, tube:ish, sine and special plasma), octave switch and a level control. The sound is generated with an analog approach, but does not use samples or sampled wavetables. Hillman also has an intuitive ADSR envelope control, FX section with Chorus, Phaser & Reverb, and comes with many built-in presets."
"Today I unbox the CR-8000 by Roland... in Canada!"
One of my favorite things to do when traveling in the late 90s and early 2000s was to hit pawn shops. There's just something about picking up a used synth and checking it out in the hotel room. Sound dirty.. I'd always have to go through a cleaning ritual.
"This is a tutorial and demo of the Soniccharge Bitspeek VST plugin. It's an audio effect plugin which uses technology similar to that used in the old Speak & Spell toys. You can use it to process your vocals to sound like a robot. Or you can use it to inject some lofi vibes into your tracks."
"In this series me and my dad talk about our DIY synths and current projects/past experiences. This episode we introduce you to our next upcoming project by way of a CV Panning Mixer!

AUDIOKIT L7 LIVE LOOPER RELEASE
12/10/2019
Looping is one of the most exciting things to do on an iOS device. Musicians, vocalists, noise makers, professionals, beatboxers, and hobbyists alike will be delighted by this new looper app from AudioKit.
Inspired by one of the most popular hardware loopers on the market, the legendary RC-505 Loop Station, L7 brings this power to iOS. Easy to use for beginners. Powerful enough for the stage and studio.
L7’s killer features include “VoiceTune” (inspired by Auto-Tune) and the ability to apply eight different effects to each audio track individually. AudioKit L7 is the first iOS looper to have both input (microphone) and output (performance) effects.
You can turn every-day sounds like humming, whistling, and finger tapping into dreamy musical motifs that sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.
Additionally, L7 is the first iOS looper to have effect triggering, which allows you to automatically trigger multiple effect changes in time with the metronome. With this feature you can create powerful, spontaneous musical moments like bass drops and beat changes.
Users can save their sessions and can even export their creations and use them in a professional digital audio workstation (DAW) on their computer to make full-fledged tracks.
L7 is a premium app, which means that once you’ve bought it, it’s entirely yours. There are no in-app purchases, ads, or subscriptions.
It’s available beginning Dec 10th for an intro price of $3.99
This app has an amazing story. Daniel Kuntz started making apps in high school, inspired and enabled by the AudioKit framework. When Daniel met the founder of AudioKit, Aure Prochazka, earlier this year, they quickly discovered their mutual love of loopers.
'AudioKit people were incredibly welcoming, which was a really big deal. I felt like it legitimized my work. It really encouraged me to keep going. I honestly thought they were out of my league. I did not ever consider that we would develop an app together. It’s like a dream come true.' – Daniel Kuntz
Aure was instantly impressed with Daniel’s drive, design skills, and musicality at such a young age. He enthusiastically wanted to partner with Daniel with the mission of creating the most fun and powerful looper for iOS. They might have done it."
