Mono Cassa



New Lumanoise Mono Cassa

Based around the LepLoop V2 cassa design.
It has an internal tempo\trig generator, tow LDR for control the frequency and resonance, can be set on/off by dedicated switch.
The External trig in, can accept Trig\ CV \ Gate \ Audio \ Solar panel \ Piezo mic signal.

Demo video:

A  B  C



Manual:
 
Trig Mix pot.
Mix between the internal trig\tempo generator, all left, and the above external trig in jack.
As external trig many different signals can be used: trig, gate, cv, audio etc.

Freq. pot.
Adjusts the pitch of Cassa sound, also affects resonance.

Reso. pot.
Adjusts the resonance, i.e. the Cassa damping time.
Beyond a certain level the Cassa go into permanent oscillation.  
The level at which the oscillation begins varies with frequency.

Dist pot.
Adjusts the Cassa distortion level.
 
Tempo pot.
Adjust the internal tempo generator speed. 

Reset button.
Reset the internal tempo generator.

Clock\trig out jack.
Above the tempo pot. a trig out jack for synchronize external device.

Touch screw.
To the bottom right corner, tapping the screw will doubles the tempo speed.
 
Switch 1\2.
These switches activate the LDR control on the frequency and resonance potentiometers.
When off, bottom position, the LDR are disconnected.
When on, top position, the LDR are connected in parallel to the potentiometer.
LDR 1 controls the frequency pot, LDR2 controls the resonance pot.

Power.
Mono Cassa accept 12v DC center positive 2mm tip.
 
 
Mono Cassa Stand with Ukraine

Lumanoise V3 - V4 Eurorack

 

Lumanoise V3\V4 update:
I've added an extra high gain audio input for Lumanoise V3, some audio improvement
on Lumanoise V4


New Lumanoise V3 and V4 14HP eurorack version.
Cv control over cut off and oscillator frequency with cv amount control.
Lumanoise V3 have 2 SAW oscillator and a noise generator for drone noise, experimental texture.
Lumanosise V4 it's based around Oscar Sala Trautonium, 4 sub oscillator, VCA cv in, for experimental chord drone.

LUMAMIX RESONANT MIXER

 


New year and new graphics from our designer Nomisake

With the last PCB revision, we add tree power connector to share the power with other instrument.

Lumamix accept voltage from 12 to 20 volts, the voltage present at the rear power in connector, will be shared with the power out connectors, with one power supply you can now power the mixer and other 3 instruments.

 


 

The new LUMAMIX it's the last addiction to the Lumanoise family, a four channel RESONANT mixer with send\return and a resonant equalizer, inspired by the Polymoog resonator section.

DEMO VIDEO

Old Version


Lumamix has four jack\mini jack audio input, jack\mini jack send\return, the send out it's pre the resonant equalizer and the return can be seen as 5° input.
The main output it's mono jack or stereo mini jack, all the channels go through the resonant equalizer where you can select the type of filter, low pass, band pass, high pass and the frequency range low, medium, high.
The equalizer can resonate, and the cut-off can be controlled via the Light Dependent Resistor, the LDR can be activated with the switch.
The gain knob set the level before the equalizer. 
Lumamix works with 12v 500ma tip+.

We can also offer the Lumamix in Euro Rack format.
The Resomix 8HP with 3 input, send\return and CV control over the cutoff frequency.
Lumamix Manual 

Volume 1 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack input 1.
Volume 2 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack or jack input 2.
Volume 3 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack or jack input 3.
Volume 4 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack or jack input 4.
Send out the mixer signal before the resonant equalizer, mini jack or jack out, to use with external effect or as mixer dry out.
Return pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack or jack return input, to use with external effect,
or as 5° input.
Lumamix have one mono jack out and one mini jack stereo out in parallel.
High pass, band pass, low pass switch select the filter type.
High, mid, low switch select the filter frequency range.
Cutoff pot. regulate the cutoff frequency of the filter, when the switch it's on LDR, the light depending resistor will act in parallel to the pot, to obtain the ldd maximum effect keep the cutoff pot to 0.
Resonance pot. regulate the resonance level.
Gain pot. regulate the gain level at the filter input, work as general mixer gain.
Power in Lumamix works with 12v 500ma tip+

Resomix Manual

Volume 1 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack input 1.
Volume 2 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack input 2.
Volume 3 pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack input 3.
Send out the mixer signal before the resonant equalizer, mini jack out, to use with external effect or as mixer dry out.
Return pot. regulate the volume for the mini jack return input, to use with external effect,
or as 5° input.
Resomix have one mono mini jack out.
High pass, band pass, low pass switch select the filter type.
High, mid, low switch select the filter frequency range.
Cutoff pot. regulate the cutoff frequency of the filter, the 0-10v CV input affect the cutoff frequency to obtain the CV in maximum effect keep the cutoff pot to 0.
Resonance pot. regulate the resonance level.
Gain pot. regulate the gain level at the filter input, work as general mixer gain.
Resomix works with +/-12v 10pin modular connector.

Drone Box

New collaboration with Akhila self care box.

We create, the drone box, a meditation set with one of our 808 cymbal drone generator desktop or eurorack, meditate over the echoes of techno age.

New Lumanoise models v3 / v4 / v5

The Lumanoise v3 have 2 sawtooth oscillator: SAW1 for bass frequencies, SAW2 for the high frequency and a white noise generator.
It is possible to connect an external LDR or a variable resistor.

The Lumanoise v4 have 4 trautonium like sub oscillator,
it is possible to connect an external LDR or a variable resistor.
The Lumanoise v5 have a white noise generator, an external mono audio, if you connect the small solar panel to the audio input, you can amplified the sound the solar panel produce with different type of light, solar panel is sensible to a wild range of light frequencies, while LDR is sensible only to the intensity of light.

Suonare la luce (3)

Workshop di auto costruzione e sperimentazione del Lumanoise
in collaborazione con recipient.cc

Milano 26 e 27 aprile 2014


















Il workshop introduce gli studenti al mondo del self-made nel campo dell’elettronica di base applicata al suono e alla performance audiovisiva. Gli studenti avranno modo di seguire il percorso fatto da Otolab nello sviluppo della performance Megatsunami, partendo dall’auto-costruzione degli strumenti (Lumanoise), arrivando alla ricerca di una “grammatica” visiva e sonora nell’utilizzo delle differenti tipologie di luci, per finire con la creazione della performance audiovisiva.
I partecipanti costruiranno il proprio Lumanoise con i componenti elettronici forniti da noi e utilizzando i dispositivi luminosi messi a disposizione, potranno sperimentare i propri strumenti auto costruiti improvvisando un live collettivo.
