Artificial Noise: Cimmerian Caves + Lab:1

Pics, specs:

These were made with desktop synth users in mind, so the Cimmerian doesn't feature a stomp switch. The Lab is pretty smooth thanks to the onboard filtering. It's not harsh like a lot of oscillator boxes on the market.

multi-oscillator drone synth



For me this really gets going shortly after 3:58 when both delays are engaged. Earlier in the video you hear 1-2 effects at a time, but here there's at least 3 parts engaged (delay/delay/modulation). Around 7mins it gets gritty and lo-fi.

Needs an even newer case design with even thicker wood slabs.

But would you settle for mo' purp?

[Chankgeez]

The wood or the metal part of the enclosure?

[D.o.S.]

Seems like a lot to do what it does? On first blush, anyway.

Lab sounds pretty cool, though.

i just found out about the LAB:1 today and really am interested in it. Is there anything that is similar in sound and build/format by any other makers? it seems like these are sold out and and it will be quite a while before the next batch is presented from what i read on the site.

[manymanyhaha]

Hard to tell if this has mono or stereo input.......or am I missing it?

[ibarakishi]

if i saw the photo right for the Cimmerian Caves, it has one input (i think stereo because of the two outputs labeled left and right). the Lab:1 has a single output i think?

Is there anything else for table top that is like this?

[D.o.S.]

Some of the old Skychord stuff is pretty similar I think (less control over the sound though).

Also the new Eowave thing that's' coming out.

[ibarakishi]

thanks D.o.S. i will take a look at that

Also the new Eowave thing that's' coming out.

The Quadrantid seems to be capable of some fairly complex, Buchla-esque sounds, but it is knocking on the door of 500 Euros.

For something less expensive, there's still a few people building completed versions of the late Ray Wilson's WSG. (they're DIY and all the schems, BOM info is online)

Also, Eric Archer is bringing the Drone Commander back. DC + EHX Ravish = unmade Kubrick film soundtrack, DC + tremolo and/or delay = space out all evening

[D.o.S.]

How much is the lab?

How much is the lab?

According to this, it launched at $300, but I'm not sure if it has gone up since then.

[ibarakishi]

on his facebook the last run was 335 dollars plus shipping

[lumena]

Yes indeed.

En regardant
Looking at it very much... perhaps with landscape stereo field.

Demos not super but seems to have lots of potential.
