Exploring XAOC Devices Timiszoara (FX) and Koszalin (Frequency Shifter)

[@swampflux]

I got Timi on day 1 and immediately was blown away. Worth the wait :)

[@szymondudzinski6661]

For those that don't know, Koszalin is a Polish town near the sea. It's also worth mentioning that I've literally gone through it yesterday

[@MatKelcey0]

wow. the "Techno beats with Koszalin pings" section is magic!

[@reheller]

Thanks for the info on pinging the Koszalin, another XAOC devices module that is very immediate and easy to use!

[@AndyVonal]

Loved this, Jeremy! Thanks loads for introducing me to these crazy boxes!

[@fabmeyer_ch]

Great modules (especially the Koszalin) and great demo!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

that reverb together with the Arbhar ..... !? i can just hear those to go together , with an organ+cello stem .... for example the amazing Eagan Matrix .... gimme gimme gimme ....! youre so good at this , Jamie ;-)

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

There is a feedback/ sample rate expander coming…..:) fantastic demo. Loving the module so far

[@ecks8214]

Yes! RMR and XAOC makes for 22 mins of solid serotonin! Also bit of joy seeing someone else wearing ZOX bands. Lot of capital letters today...

[@Space_pulse]

Xaoc is the Cyrillic form of Chaos, and is pronounced the same way. I think a small part of me dies inside every time I hear someone say “Zay-ock”

[@RedMeansRecording]

Sorry

[@Mik3l24]

And 'sz' is the Polish spelling of 'sh'.

[@DaveForgac]

As long as they get along w/ Brad they'll be just fine

[@snoogllies]

You needn't die inside, many us would be delighted to know the proper pronunciation of words!

[@Space_pulse]

@@RedMeansRecording no worries. I ain’t mad at ya. Still love you!

[@paulhooze]

Oh yes,i got the timiszoara, really nice!!!i have fxaidxl to...there different,complementary.i really enjoy them a lot 🔥🔥🔥

[@chonbaquer]

Love when Xaoc comes calling.

[@onelittleatlas5645]

I have one arriving Monday, thanks for the as usual very musical use of the module. Its like jamming with it for the first time. Im looking forward to exploring the distortion algorithms. Ive been wanting to explore the world of distortion/fuzz/overdrive in eurorack ala ben frost and hoping the Timi might get me there!

[@apeirogonmusic]

That Minsk is Doing an Excellent Job As Well ; )

[@Efkts]

Great demo thank you!!! I have 2 Timi's they are amazing!!!

[@maxmaxington5873]

Love the Timmy

[@jimspectre]

Came to check out Koszalin and got amazed by Timiszoara 🤯 I got the Eventide H9 and external send/return fx modules but it seems like Timiszoara is a far better solution. Thx for showcasing the things you do bruh 👍🏽

[@ArctaProductions]

Finally, I'm super excited after reading the manual for both of these but there's next to no sound demos

[@adamjlipper]

Great video Jeremy. Sold me on the Timi (well I was bought in before I started watching truth be told). Can you explain your patch around the 20min mark? Specifically the sequencing.

[@charlesedouardjeanbaptiste2175]

Fabulous!!!🎉

[@Derrick_Evans]

Damn man that’s some nice sounding algorithms. No joke I kind of shrugged off this module thinking it wouldn’t be worth it. Most of the bank type of reverbs I’ve never really liked. But this sounds absolutely amazing. Been watching you for years on here and was super excited when you turned your channel to more of a modular focused channel.

[@ecks8214]

I think a number of chip effects modules suffer from basic algorithmic design or (more importantly to me anyways) ground/noise isolation issues when actually put into a system with other modules. There was one module I was mildly excited for, then heard it in person and couldn't get over the floor noise. They said that was normal and I never looked at it again :(

[@RedMeansRecording]

@@ecks8214 I didn't notice noise

[@coreyackland]

Jeremy, any comparisons to FX Aid, preferences for / against...?

[@tommwaw]

Koszalin is a city in Poland. It's a superweird to see Koszalin city as frequency shifter ;)

[@os_ros]

Timisoara is a city in Romania

[@emptyvesselnz]

5:50!!!!! ZOMG bliss. So many very interesting and unusual algorithms too, awesome. 12:56 ZOMG again! 19:20 ZZOMG again! OK just general zomgness then.

[@mtommy84]

Great video as usual Jeremy! When you change effect type, does the wet sound get cut suddenly or does it soft-fade to the new one?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Hard cut

[@mtommy84]

@@RedMeansRecording sad. It would have been great if it had a soft-fade. You could have CVed the hell out of it in that case

[@pe00000001]

@@mtommy84 That would require doubling the processor for running two programs in parallel and doing the crossfade. Consider how much a waste would this be just for this simple feature. Not to mention having two processors there would always be a pressure to run two effects instead of one at a time, and making a smooth crossfade it would call for another pair, and so on.

[@mtommy84]

@@pe00000001 you wouldnt need more signal processor, but just smart buffering that sustain/decay the last few N second of wet sound.

[@pe00000001]

@@mtommy84 No, that is not true. You would need two active processes to do a smooth morph. I know what I'm saying, I'm a DSP engineer.

[@cardboardmusic]

Wow, I'm constantly looking for a more practical solution to replace the HN FX Aid, the Timiszoara certainly looks a very interesting option.

[@xetamurai]

Thanks for some tips, as always (specially when you are not so promotion orientated😉) I have a Kosi and I see that at one time you patch both sides of output (up and down shifted) = 4 cables, but Timi got only 2 inputs… how to patch? I like the effect you achieved, and would like to reproduce it (I have both Kosi and Timi) Thanks to enlighten me and sharing

[@damianpinto3497]

where one could get any extra fx for the timo? checked in patchstorage and its not even listed. thx

[@saysthetedd]

Wow.... Now I really would like a..... TIMMMAAAYYYYY!

[@johnthomson3231]

Hello Jeremy have you or do you have any intentions to review the polyend play..I've just got mine & I love it I think seeing how you normally create your tunes you will too.

[@RedMeansRecording]

If polyend wants to send me one for review I will

[@boydw1]

I wonder if the delay feedback might be able to be pushed further with an offset voltage into its CV mod input?

[@TheJones0105]

Have you noticed that when the wet signal is way louder than what comes in? We tried it in the shop where i work and thats the only thing we didn’t appreciate… anyways it has insane algorythms Great video as always

[@pe00000001]

It depends on the algorithm and is not true in general. The hardware passes wet signal at 0dB loss (1:1). Some algorithms must attenuate input signal for making room for amplitude increase due to very deep (nearly 100%) feedback to avoid clipping. This is a general rule that affects all dsp processors, especially in a tight environment like eurorack which has literally zero headroom. On the other hand, some algorithms inevitably make things louder (for example distortions) because they add harmonics and enrich the spectrum.

[@Screenshot1015]

Woof. Already making me debate between Timi and Aurora. I know they’re different but they’re both just so nice

[@XiXora]

These companies need to send a pronunciation guide or something. You'll trigger the internet :P

[@RedMeansRecording]

Check the comments. Already happening

[@boydw1]

@@RedMeansRecording If Xaoc really want their names pronounced correctly, they should write the English or phonetic spelling underneath the name.

Are far as the feedback on the delay. Sonic destruction should always be an option.
