has to be a plate reverb… (edit: it’s explained above but i think that’s what it does)

Yes I was a little unclear in my question/wish. I’m after how that exact slab of aluminum works as a resonator/plate reverb and in what kind of things it works, together with the modular and the Stereo Field. In short: would love some audio :slight_smile:

Could also simply be part of a hybrid microphone… eg if you put a contact mic on a gong and then make sound near the gong, it is like the gong becomes part of the microphone (Aphex Twin was first person I read of doing this, although I’m sure he wasn’t the first to try it)

With studio speakers pointed directly at it like that, it will be picking up & sympathetically resonating to whatever is being played or listened to…

Ah I didnt know what a “FeONIC F2” was… 100Hz – 20KHz driver for surfaces…

Will get some audio down asap, the aluminium panel its not a plate reverb , more just a resonant surface

The transducer is like a speaker without the paper coil. You put it on anything that vibrates and get a speaker. They’re very useful for making filters out of physical objects.

Here are a couple of audio examples of the resonant feedback that I recorded today on my Zoom H4n pro, there is no post production or FX’s so you can get a sense of the character of the sound more clearly,( and also room noise and occasionally me breathing!) What you are hearing is my modular (Radio Music, QuBit Chord, MI Rings, MI Marbles…) running into the Landscape Stereo Field , the stereo output of that was then fed into 2 FeONIC transducers mounted on the back of the panel and then this was all picked up by 2 contact mics and fed back into the LSF. I found I could shape the sound by touching the surface of the panel if the feedback was getting too wild. The cover art is a photograph of sand on the very same aluminium panel mounted horizontally, I played around with cymatics on residency recently, watching the sand sift and move with the vibration of sound was cool. I hope that makes things a bit clearer than my original post!

Thank you for taking the time to elaborate. Looks and sounds very cool!

This is a video rather than a picture, but it feels like it belongs to this thread.

A local meetup group organized a virtual event over the weekend, since we can’t get together in person. I contributed a short studio tour video, and there are a bunch of others as well as a few performances.

Here’s a link directly to my part of the video, but the whole thing is cool.

your setup makes me miss my Stereo Field

Finally got everything consolidated into a single (and handsome if I may say) MDLR case:

Which Rav model did you get? I’ve been looking at these for awhile actually, mostly the E Low Pygmy.

Jasper DIY is finally finished! The last piece of the puzzle was the JasperMIDI add-on board which I recently found the time to install into the case. Sounds fantastic with a little reverb and delay. Building it was an education on CMOS circuits. Highly recommended for the Lunetta/Ciat Lonbarde/Lorre Mill fans
