Industrial Music Electronics Bionic Lester MK3 Overview

In depth demonstration of the new Bionic Lester MK3 dual multimode filter and overdrive VCA.
BIONIC LESTER MARK III is a 2-channel 2-pole state-variable digital filter with an unusual amount of aggressive sonic character. The filter mode is continuously variable under manual or CV control, smoothly fading from lowpass to bandpass to highpass to notch to allpass/comb with a single motion. The resonance stops just short of self-oscillation in the first three modes. A digital VCA controls the amplitude and the distortion of the input signal pre-filter. The filters have independent inputs and outputs, and an additional Mix output with balance control. The comb filters feature negative or positive feedback, and controlled self-oscillation to generate howling feedback evolution from the most mundane input. Your modular audio signal can now be heard from the short-delay-line claustrophobic perspective of a fuel tank entry crew, an overdue addition to the Industrial Music Electronics arsenal of Low Art Enforcement Technique. The allpass and comb modes are also useful for designing primitive diffusion, phasing, chorus, or delay effects, and even crude reverberation when multiple Lester units are used together.

Plumbing the depths of the Industrial Music pit of noise with all those orange and black knobs and stuff sure does inspire someone to go all in with every bit of IME gear that can be brought to the task. Great demo!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

indeed they make some of the coolest industrial modules for Eurorack.

[@stuartbennett4301]

I thought this too and my BLmk3 is arriving tomorrow. I wish availability was better across the range though I’d buy lots more if I could.

[@dinsfire8489]

ty for explaining how to use the pre-filter vcas. super useful that y'all included those.

[@bengoldberger1113]

Yeah man! I have this amazing and truly unique filter. So glad to now have this in-depth video. Props to IME and to Zach!!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

agree one of the best and complex. lets you create new soundscapes rather than just another boring filter this one stands them on the head.

[@mikegeary8056]

Just got one today. The first patch really made an impression on me. It’s so much more than just a filter. Cant wait to get into some complex patching.

[@MorbidManoeuvres]

that comb is erasing my brain, its so sexy

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Mine finally came today and love it! Now I need to spend the weekend learning it along with my Kermit. Waiting for Piston Honda MK3 and Hertz Donut MK3 to come in stock to complete my IME industrial setup.

[@MUNRO13]

Amazing. I have one and want another!

[@modularsoundbath]

Thank for making this video! :)

[@RAFmortis]

Sounds amazing

[@robotopsyrobotopsy6486]

Great job Man !!!!

[@thtr8170]

Nice :) on my list!

[@apeirogonmusic]

14:25 I love that kind of sound Dark Beauty or a Conflict beetween good and evil

[@Fluxwithit]

Sounds really freaking wild

[@atuanoiniin]

Stellar!

[@MUNRO13]

Bonkers. Ordered.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

you will love it so fun especially when paired with the kermit mk3.

[@TheMachinesWon]

Ordered one from Thomann a month ago (currently they're out of stock). ETA has been up and down, will we see more Lester's back in stock soon? It was looking like stock was going to be in in a week then jumped to several months... :(

[@LazerGarden]

Yumms sounds at 5:53, 22:05, 25:40

[@RMMChicagoOfficial]

Oh-Ello!🙂

[@maglim97]

holy sh*t

[@drowninreverb9067]

alright I'll get one...

[@lockyp204]

This thing is off the richter

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

yup this filter and the dual borg filter have to be the two craziest industrial ones on the planet. Well polivoks is good too but this one is a do all module.

[@henryb6009]

Incredible sound demo. Makes me want to get one... d**n!

[@jazzbluesshred]

Is it just me or do some of the filter sweeps sound a little ‘stepped’

[@mikegeary8056]

It’s a digital filter

[@fosferus]

are you talking about the fully resonant sweeps? thats how all filters settle onto the harmonics of the waveform. its not stepped, there's just nothing there to resonate on this particular audio source.
