chain 1:
contact mic, mic preamp, bass limiter pedal, filter lancet, octatrack and then into the clean channel of the amplifi-30
chain 2:
lyra-8, bass limiter, guitar channel of the amplifi-30
What you hear at 17:30 in the first vid is just the lyra-8 feed through it's chain. The granular sounding effect is caused by the dual delay of the lyra-8, triggered by it's hyper lfo. The sound is also pressed against the brickwall by the limiter pedal behind it, which enhances all the weird sound artifacts that the lyra-8 produces.
At ~18:00 i bring in a sample on the octatrack. The contact mic doesn't do anything at that time.

But are you saying it can’t be used like a regular drum box? That’s the feeling I get from your description, at least: unquantized, accidents, beasts ...
You can midi feed it, if in need for boring.

I have no need (nor funds) for another 1500 euro drum synth ... but damn ...
And making it full of bare metal parts so you can tweak it simply by touching is just amazeballs. Really really great.
I tested it @ sooprbooth, got questions? Its not really just another drum synth. It's a un-quantized happy accident trauma groove box. Programming and playing it felt more like bending a beast to your will. Especially if you start using the connectors WTF?, OMG and MAD!...
I highly recommend their products. Lyra-8 is also something from another dimension. It does synthesis by being a awesomely bad construction that lets barely listenable but very organismic sound bleed through it's internal attenuators, which will then be amplified into audible range by a overdrive and double feedback delay section. You can also choose the amount of bleeding through by tuning up the "hold" knobs.
It's less AHR and more stab and bleed and that's just one way of playing it.

Nice. Just ordered the vinyl version on bleep in addition to the new Ryuichi Sakamoto Album.

I gave up on that area and just learnt to mute and unmute my tracks in time so it fits the music.
Yeah, this works well. It would be nice to have both.
It would also be nice to be a little bit taller/a baller/etc.
Yeah, a save mode for escalating parties would be nice. I agree!

No, they're track mutes, so the entire sample and effect tails are cut off. I'd love something that just prevents the sequencer from triggering, maybe not even sending a note off. Perhaps something like this could be set as a global, pattern or even track behaviour in project/pattern/track edit menu.
There are currently 2 ways to achieve something like this. You can set up the tracks in a way, that the track mode has a more or less hidden feature, where you can decouple the sequencer per track from the samplers using the first 8 buttons of the sequencer. But you cannot see which is connected and which not. I didnt find this feature really usefull in the way it is currently implemented.
The other option is: You can also setup a little reverb in the background on the master track, making your mutes not that harsh by creating a reverb tail, but that might fuck up your sound in a way you dont like.

It's just a hardware change and uses the OS of MK I, until that changes, i will not care about the mk II.

"I did this for you."
Yes... i care because you do. Right.

But you're right, music does not need labels in a practical sense if the artist is savvy enough to do some hard promo for themselves. Trouble is promo is not IDM ha.
Just an opinion:
I do not care what label name is stamped onto something out of bleep.com. I just listen to the previews and buy it the stuff i like. So is bleep.com the new form of label stamp? I really do not care if it has rephlex, planet mu or warp on it. That was interesting in times we had no previews.
So why not make a good release yourself and send some copies to bleep to sell them, as label name use a random string base64 encoded?

I have been sending demos to labels for 20 years, and I'm 35 now. Do I still want to release an album I can be proud of? YES. Do I still have the confidence that it's possible? YES. How much am I willing to bet that I will succeed? My life. Because that is what it takes to get ANYTHING done. Fucking anything, you give your life, and never hold yourself back from getting what you want. So if it took over 20 years JUST to release one album on Planet Mu, would that make me happy? Fuck, yeah. 20 years is totally worth it. The time will pass regardless of what I do- might as well spend the time putting effort towards realizing my dreams.
Explain to me why to release on a label? I never understood this, maybe you can help me with this. Isn't releasing just "making something accessible" in a cool format? Why does anyone need a label in times of bandcamp / soundcloud. The prefiltering mechanisms that labels had, do not work anymore from my point of view. Finding really inspiring dedicated artists is hard work, building a name is even harder.

All this shit makes me wonder... As musicians- as artists- as humans!-- are we intentionally holding ourselves back with GAS-like mental facilities, because we don't want to "orgasm" our music (our life output)? It's like chasing the high with drugs where we never want to finish.
So I hang out on reddit guitar from time to time, and it's pretty fucking retarded sometimes. It makes apparent that the path to goals (and not goals themselves) truly are beautiful and possibly best, but it's been twisted to some kind of mental fuck up loop where basically nothing gets done. This has been one of my main challenges in the past 5 years- just getting past the mundane to excel at the self. My guitars sound amazing- I seriously never have to buy another guitar from a technical perspective, but I find myself browsing guitars on occasion.
In order to be Ultra, we must all realize that we have what we need!!! Most important point is action. Finish albums and send demos and shit. There's nothing wrong with getting signed, mangz.
Yes, i agree. Please cum, you all need to orgasm more often.

Peak doesn't sound bad at all, but at the rumored price of ~$1300 I don't know who this is for. I'm watching the videos but not seeing or hearing anything unique from it. It's surely capable and solid.... Modulation and wave table options are the most interesting things, but they seem meek and underpowered. Effects are decent at least. For half the price it might make a splash, but as it is I'm not sure who /needs/ that Novation sound...lol
I agree.

A vermona filter lancet is doing that. If the resonance for its filter is set to about 60% it starts to very cleanly self oscillate, so it can be used as filter or as a one oscillator synthesizer, which is what i like about. Actually if you count in the lfo section that can be set to audio rate it could actually be counted as two OSC FM unit.
