Lumanoise_LDR Synths_



I originally developed the Lumanoise synths family, for the Otolab performance Megatsunami.
After some prototype and live test we decide to realize the pcb and made a small production for workshop and selling, these are pre-production prototypes.

The lumanoise family are 3 models.


Lumanoise V1

The lumanise V1 have one square osc, one 12bit sawtooth osc.
The oscillators pitch is controlled by a photo resistor, each oscillator have a volume pot.
A 12 db low pass resonant filter, specially developed by LEP for the project lumanoise, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

Lumanoise V2

The lumanoise V2 heve one square osc, one 12bit sawtooth osc. and 2 trautonium like sub oscillator.
We were inspired by the great Oskar Sala Trautonium synth oscillator.
We use one master oscillator under LDR control and 2 sub oscillator, where you can set the frequency.
The oscillators pitch is controlled by a photo resistor, each oscillator have a volume pot.
A 12 db low pass resonant filter, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

808 cymbal drone generator

The 808 cymbal drone generator use 6 fixed frequency square wave oscillators.
The oscillator frequency came from the cluster oscillator circuit used in the TR808 drum machine for creating cymbal sound, in fact these are the harmonic frequencies of the sounds of metal plate.
Each oscillators have a volume pot. and the 12 db low pass resonant filter, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

The Lumanoise box are made of plywood 3mm laser cut, different textures will be available soon.


Recently Chris and Cosey was in Milano for a Carter Tutti show so I gave him a 808 cymbal drone generator :)

808 CY DRONE GENERATOR


I use the 808 CY cluster osc source for made a drone generator.
The 6 oscillators output have a separate volume.
I use faders from an old mixer.
The 12db LP filter with a switch for select cutoff  POT \ LDR.
Made fot Otolab, performance Megatsunami.

Lumasine



Lumasine it's the sine wave version of the Lumanoise.
Two simple transistor oscillator with a two ch. mixer.
Changing the value of the capacitor it's possible to have different oscillators range.
The photo resistor control the pitch, it's also possible use a potentiometer.

LepLopp article on Wired Italia

“ Hai presente i sintetizzatori analogici degli anni ’70? Ecco, il nostro Leploop è così: piccolo, compatto, produce contemporaneamente più suoni. Lo assembliamo in un laboratorio di Milano, in due, e poi lo vendiamo online. Ci manca giusto il Giappone, poi l’avremo consegnato in tutto il mondo”.

Chris Carter LepLoop Experiment

The LepLoop


I've used a lot of synths over the years but this one is something different… it's a strange instrument. It's small, much smaller than it appears in photos: it is part synth, part drum machine, part multi-track sequencer. I'm still figuring it all out but initial impressions are that it's very unpredictable and slightly unstable… but in a good way. I had a few issues with it sometimes refusing to work and also it has a tendency to pick up stray signals from my iPhone and iPad if they are anywhere near it. But when it works it is quite rewarding to use and is capable of some amazing sounds - if mildly frustrating trying get it to do what I think it 'should' be able to do - but I will persevere. If you like wonderful experimental noises - accompanied by a simple rhythm (although I'm sure it's very capable of a lot more) then this little unit could be for you.
The LepLoop will definitely become part of my CCCL experimental arsenal and will most likely get seconded into the upcoming Throbbing Gristle experimental sets in October/November 2010.
The short sound example here was performed without a keyboard, just using the internal sequencer and some real-time tweakery. The outputs were processed with a couple of Eventide pedals for some 'tape delay' & reverb.

UPDATE:
Apparently my LepLoop is a prototype, which accounts some of the 'issues' I had with it - the production version should run fine.

EXPLODING CAVE WORKSHOP









Sabato 18 Aprile

This wend we are going to present to the pubblic the activity of L.E.P.

Laboratorio Elettronico Popolare = L.E.P.

Popular Electronics Laboratory = P.E.L.


The workshop was held by the Popular Electronics Laboratory (PEL), consisting dall'eclettico artist milanese Tonylight and analog dall'alchimista Peppo Lasagna, with the participation of Dorkbot Milano.
The purpose of the laboratory is to design and build electronic devices for audio / video interfaces to develop open source to create sounds and images, video, lights.


For this event, L.E.P. presents his latest projects: "Leploop, a small analog synth to produce music and" Videomoog ", a synth to produce video images by following the synthesis of music.

leploop

LepLoop It's a small synth protype I'm developping with my friend Peppo.
The idea was to have a compact live analog instrument.
The circuit it's an original design.
The synth can produce 3/4 sound at the same time
kick
noise hh/snare
bass/melody

synth scructure

osc1 wave squ. and tri.
osc2 wave saw.
osc1 can modulate osc2
2 AD envelope
2 vca
1 lpf diode ladder filter with cutoff and res. cv control
kick drum generator + distortion/overdrive
noise generator
1 lfo
1 s/h
1 mixer
4 gate sequencer kick / S&H / env1 / env2
1 16 step capacitor sequencer, the S/H sample the lfo for imput the note in the seq.
Different menu for clock div., step, groove, record, save and recall track.
