Erica Synths LXR 02 Drum Module for Eurorack at Knobcon 2022

At Knobcon 2022, Erica Synths showed the LXR Eurorack module, a compact percussion synthesizer, based on the sound engine of the LXR-02 drum machine.

 

While retaining the core interface of the LXR-02, this module adds the essential Eurorack ingredient – assignable CV control over parameters and many more tweaks in the user interface, for better integration in any Eurorack system.

 

Features:

  • 6 drum/percussion voices
  • 7 trigger inputs with accents
  • 5 assignable CV inputs
  • 4 assignable outputs
  • 3 voices can be used as basslines due to 1V/oct tuning
  • Over 30 adjustable parameters per voice
  • Insert FX section
  • Kit memory
  • SD card for Kit exchange and easy firmware updates
  • Kits compatible with the LXR-02

Knobcon 2022: Call The Synthbulance

 

Got twisted patch cables? Are your LFOs terminally desynced? Who you gonna call?

 

Synth DIY Guy Quincas Moreira shared this video from Knobcon 2022, taking a look at The Synthbulance.

 

The Synthbulance is an epic synth DIY project that transformed an old ambulance into a mobile synthesis & multimedia studio. See Zetsumetsu on Instagram for some behind the scenes pics of the project.

 

Now in its 10th year, Knobcon is an annual US gathering of modular freaks and manufacturers, featuring electronic music performances and workshops, as well as showcasing new and just plain cool synth tech from a range of uber-DIYers and pro outfits.
