The Bat Verb | Part 03 | Desmodus Versio + Lyra-8

Desmodus Versio + Lyra-8
I had this idea of running the Lyra-8 through the Desmodus Versio and see what would happen. Then I realized it helped me (a lot!) to tune the Lyra-8 while playing live. So this video showcases the ‘beyond infinity’ setting on the ‘regenerate’ knob, where the reverb trail just plays on forever – but you can still hear a bed of the notes you’ve played – and add more. It can get pretty magical.
Soma Pulsar-23 with Mutable Instruments
First of all, this video is not about the Pulsar-23. Not really. I have it in pre-order for a while so hopefully, I can offer you a real skydive soon. But I noticed Soma posting a lot of new videos, so I am suspecting it’s on its way to the stores. These videos inspired me to try and ‘recreate’ a 23 on my modular, just to see how far I’d get – and to learn a few Soma tricks along the way. I ended up with a completely alien drum machine you would not expect coming from a Mutable case. The icing on the cake comes from NE Ruina Versio because you can’t have a Pulsar-23 without distortion.
Lom Priezor vs Soma Ether (Electromagnetic Fields)
Recording Electromagnetic Fields with Soma Ether and Lom Priezor. There are several aspects that are different about these electromagnetic recording devices. For example, the size, design, what’s included, and most importantly what types of sounds can be captured.
I’ll take you around and give you hands-on demonstrations of the Priezor and Ether V2. Then we’ll come back home and show you what you can do with a sound file in Cecilia 5!
I just released the brand new SOMA Ether Electromagnetic Sound Sample Library!
It’s a free release and I hope you can use these sounds and get an idea what kind of sounds the Ether V2 creates.
The library contains 53 files, recorded in 192kHz-32 bit and is around 5GB large. These sounds contain frequencies that are beyond 70kHz. Go crazy with it 🙂
I recorded sounds during car driving, on electro supply boxes, Mac Books, lights, toaster, ovens and much more.

For Science | #Maths x 4 = ?
When I got another Maths to complete the modules of the Tape & Microsound – in separates – I felt the eurorack addiction like never before. Who the fork needs four maths. However, four Maths adds up to eight triangle waveform cycles which reminds me of the Lyra-8, and in theory, it’s possible to patch them up so they can feedback on themselves.
I did not go that far, even though I prepared a case with a Lion matrix in it. Having some help from two ModDemix modules was enough to bring them together. As for the addiction, I feel a bit better now. Been there, done that. Now it’s time to let go.
