"3 channel CV sequencer with 2 Gate channels. All analog with some interesting features when self patching the positioning. Internal or external clock with CV over tempo. This is a very solid and flexible piece of gear for any eurorack or synth studio. Comes with original power supply. Works perfectly."
Elyra is played with the typical gestures of playing guitar and bass and all the energy that comes from it. You play with your whole body.
There are two strumming aera for strings, one dedicated to back and forth and another dedicated to bass and arpeggios.
Elyra is designed to be played by both righ-handed and left-handed people.
You can also play it placed on a table or on your knees like a groove box.
A POWERFUL AND UNIQUE COMPOSITION TOOL
With up to 16 voices polyphony, spread across 16 instruments/layers and with is powerful sequencer , Elyra is more than a groovebox, it is a composition tool.
You can have one instrument with 16 voices or 16 instruments with one voice and everything in between.
Because Elyra is battery powered, you can carry it anywhere with you and play for several hours.
You can play and sequence all your other instruments via MIDI port.
A SOUND ENGINE MADE FOR US BY KODAMO
At the core of Elyra there is a powerful and beautiful sound engine created for us by Kodamo.
It is a virtual analog engine based on substractive synthesis with just enough FM synthesis to offer a vast sound territory.
It has many parameters to sculpt and create a unique sound.
RAISED TOUCH BUTTONS
All Elyra buttons are touch sensitive pads made up of a slightly raised area allowing the user to feel physical feedback.
This is capacitive sensor technology which offers an extremely fast response time of 2 ms.
There are 5 distinct areas on the main panel:
the fretboard composed of 4 * 12 pads
the strumming area separated into two type, A and B
two assignable slider
an OLED screen with its wheel and its 8 contextual buttons"
"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Ableton Push 3 Standalone, recorded to a stereo audio out.
I'm hoping to play some more live shows this year, and that means I want to create another live set. I thought that if I were creating a new live set, I might as well create a bunch of new songs at the same time. And if I were creating new songs, I might as well try a completely different style/genre of music.
So here's my first attempt. The Push 3 Standalone is still the best choice for me, in terms of making a live set. It has its limitations and foibles for performance, but in terms of sheer number of tracks and effects, in terms of sequencing length and arrangement, and in terms of reducing the mental juggling necessary during a set, the Push 3 works well for me.
Many of the tracks were bounced down to audio, to increase the number of elements in the song. I may also eventually add a stereo effects loop with the Zen Delay, but that's for a future video. For now, I'm happy with this template, and looking forward to creating more like it.
Thanks for listening.
Ableton Push 3 Standalone - all sounds and effects and such Many in-the-box sounds used as well, notably Tympo from Teletone Audio, which was used for the drum sounds
Recorded and performed live to a stereo channel, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
"VCF2600 is set in resonance mode and modulated by the LFO100.
All the waveforms and functions are tested one by one."
LFO 100
Complex analogue LFO from a vintage Japanese modular system!
We injected some steroids in this LFO and the results are lot of features. Not only you can use individually the 8 waveform outputs, but you can use the alternative two linked outputs for which you can select any of the waveforms.
This alternative output has a VCA so you can fade in the LFO signal in a
defined duration with a potentiometer.
The stairs like waveforms can be changed from 16steps, 8steps, 4steps or mangled. All of these are seasoned with cv control and waveform reset.
2600 VCF
This filter is based on the classic 2600 from the seventies and uses the LM3900 Norton opamp chip.
It has an audio inputs, two CV ins and an audio out.
You can control audio input level, CV levels, frequency cutoff and resonance.
It has a beautiful sound and it can go from relatively clean to dirty and screamy depending on audio signal level and resonance.
"Nick and Gaz Williams have a talk with the talented @gbevinGeert Bevin @gbevin - @MoogSynthesizers Head of Software Development - we got to take a look at how the Apple Vision Pro is being used by Moog as the platform for one of the first Spatial Computing applications - the Moog Animoog Galaxy - as well as a sneak peak at the MidiWidgets app Geert has also been working on.
We get a glimpse of how this new platform might be used as a new way of creating workspaces.
Fascinating.
Animoog Galaxy is available now $29.99 via the US iTunes Store only."
