There is a new collaboration with New Sound Waves and Vitalise continuing Electronic Arts meetups in 2023!
Over the past 3 years Elk Elektronik have been running Synth Sessions mainly in Wollongong NSW.
In 2023, Ed has teamed up with the people behind New Sound Waves and Vitalise to continue running regular meets, but also to be able to join with other great initiatives work together on these events.
The Synth Sessions have evolved over this time, introducing elements of video and projection arts, tech talks from local manufacturers and more! With this in mind, we’ve chosen a new name “Electric City - Electronic Art Exploration“, incorporating a wider variety of electronic art forms.
"Electric City" will alternate between Wollongong and Sydney on the same schedule as previously - once every 2 months.
So excited to be meeting Constantin Papageorgiadis.
(PORTABELLABZ)
Also known fondly as Papz, Constantin is an expert regarding the EMS Synthi and the Buchla 208.
He will be giving a talk about the Synthi and perform on an AKS.

Edgecutter & Tuesday
wE HAD THE PLEASURE of meeting Stijn Haring-Kuipers Principal inventor, CEO of Void B.V. and Priscilla Haring-Kuipers, Resident media psychologist.of TINRS
Terry's video synth.
A 3-trins video synthesizer, Roland V4 mixer & Edirol P10 sample player.
Our next Synth meeting will be held on Sunday the 10th Feb 2019.
This is something to look forward to: An evening with This Is Not Rocket Science
3pm - 7pm.
TINRS (this is not rocket science) will be there (all the way from Holland) and you will get a chance to see some module demos & chat with their creators.
My understanding is that the computer control signal is convertered to ILDA by a Digital Analogue Converter (DAC), also called "ILDA Interface", combined with laser software.
The ILDA control signal uses a very dense transmission structure, as it
has to control every single color change and every re-positioning of
the scanner. This is entirely different to the DMX system which transmits only low level information.
There are 5 channels:
The X and Y CV inputs accept different ranges of signals: (+/-5V)
The red, green & blue takes 0-5V.
Each CV input has a dedicated attenuator and bias knob for precise
modulation control, and both the X and Y inputs feature switches for
inverting the CV.
There are selectable low-pass filters on X & Y channels with settings for 20KPPS and 30KPPS projectors & filter bypass.
Finally, a master scale knob allows for the adjustment of the overall projection size.
Patching oscillators (especially quadrature VCOs) into the modules CV inputs allows for the creation
of oscillographics and lissajous curves".
The module uses a standard DB25 serial connector port.
Live Performance
+ NewSoundWaves - 21st March 2015 -Roland V8 mixer, P10 clip launcher, ex security camera, Video Synthesizer and modules: LZX, MVIP and Geiskes 3TrinRGB+1c
This first workshop is aimed at beginners or anyone who wants to learn how to build a Eurorack Synth case. It is held in cooperation with Sydney-based Metro
Modular and will provide participants with a robust 6Ux104HP carry-case
with a lid (optional).
