Pre-release & Ordering Hype Megathread (archive)

I think they expect it to be played polyphonically, and didn’t want 8 CV/gate input pairs

The other three have teasers on XAOC’s instagram, but these are the two I’m most interested in.

One looks a Leibniz CV recorder, the other looks like a Drezno v2. They didn’t show the drezno looking one in the earlier blank panel teasers when they showed 6 new modules, so I’m guessing one or two got delayed.

I agree. With so few CV inputs, they might as well be making stand-alone synthesizers.

Nice. This 1U version has 4 pots where the 3U version has only 3. So this is a much more versatile configuration IMO. Plus the layout it better with the metered knobs aligned and the cables well out of the way.

Ordering page is up: Mobenthey / Ciat-Lonbarde (synthmall) thread - #5248 by corpusjonsey

lord grant me the strength to make it through the coming week without deciding i need a new Make Noise, Xaoc Devices, Instruo, Frap Tools, or Ciat-Lonbarde thing. we call upon you in this our most difficult hour

Hahaha

Forgive me father for I have sinned…soon.

Fixed this for you :
“Forgive me father for I have synthed…”

The only thing I’d be wary of is current draw. The 3U has nontrivial requirements given what its functionality is:

Current Draw: +12v: 110 mA -12v: 43 mA

I would expect the 1U to draw some percentage more. Depending on your case that may be a non-issue or it might be something to consider.

Just saw this.

Exploding Shed

LeafAudio - Field Amp

This is a pre-sale at a special price until mid of may. Delivery is around june. The amp is already in final production now and items will be shipped as soon as production is ready. All orders including this pre-sale will be delayed until the units...

Field Amp is optimised for Hi-Z signals like contact mics and geophones. It also acts as an impedance converter with a powerful output signal. No loss of signal quality when you keep the wiring short between microphones and the input. The output is a strong signal and you don’t have to worry about a few meters of cable.

• High-class pre-amp for contact mics, geophones etc.
• Case included
• 9V DC power supply or battery
• USB-C to barrel connector adapter cable included
• Up to ~50x adjustable gain
• 1 mono input
• 2 mono outputs (one -12 dB)
• All connections 3.5 mono jack
• 12 x 12 x 3.4 cm
• 410 g (incl. case & USB-C to barrel cable)
• 1/4"-UNC mount on top and bottom for camera tripods etc.

looks great
and the demos were both far longer than i expected!

Aomatos · 2023-05-07T20:50:53.197Z

Genious idea to release this just BEFORE everyone else on SB!

nkozi · 2023-05-07T21:16:34.914Z

Now this, I’m hype for. Those 6 1/4" outs all having internal connectors is literally my dream.

Between the Instruo Aradh, Steady State Gate, 292t, various modules from more obscure vendors, and now this, 2023 is starting to look like the Year of the LPG in Eurorack-land:

Clank Axis

Clank Axis - Eurorack Module - Dual VCA/LPG, envelope/function generator with crossfader

As a Natural Gate owner, the idea of CV-morphable EGs in the LPG is quite appealing to me.

sleepers_tomb · 2023-05-08T12:34:37.830Z

Clank’s stuff is so cool, i’m excited to see them expand their work. A lot of good stuff coming out of Italy lately

x2mirko · 2023-05-08T17:07:41.637Z

Very excited about this one.

lilskullymane · 2023-05-08T17:17:18.964Z

beautiful

XAOC just dropped five new modules on Modular Grid (although one appears to be a relatively minor update to Drezno). This lineup is mostly about extending what they’ve already got going: adding stereo channels to the Praga mixing solution, extending Timiszoara with the “missing” analog front end features, building on Liebniz.

Rostock—something like a Turing Machine for the Liebniz subsystem—interests me greatly.

aroom · 2023-05-08T17:58:46.514Z

the crossover output looks great too! I kinda wish sometimes that the Natural Gate had a combined output.
