Recreating Alvin Lucier's I'm Sitting in a Room with Eurorack Magic: A Deep Dive into the Nonlinearcircuits I Was Sitting in a Room Module
This article delves into the intriguing Nonlinearcircuits I Was Sitting in a Room module, designed to recreate Alvin Lucier's iconic work 'I'm Sitting in a Room.' With nine PT2399 chips in series, the module offers voltage-controlled delay time and fixed delays, resulting in noisy yet captivating effects like reverse delay illusions. Experimentation with different outputs for feedback yields varied outcomes, while utilizing additional processing through VCF or Phase shifter can further enhance the sonic possibilities. Apart from serving as a tool for pseudo stereo, multi-phonic, and spatialization effects, the module demands careful consideration due to its high current consumption on the +12V rail.

The ALM Busy Circuits Tyso Daiko is a dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voice module that offers a wide range of sounds with full voltage control and an analog EQ output path. This module features two independent voices that share pitch, envelope, and other parameters of a swept wavetable oscillator. One of the voices is output through a voltage-controlled analog tilt EQ, while the other voice is output through a digital wavefolder that adds increasing timbre complexity reaching noise. The module offers full voltage control, including a V/Oct pitch input, and both voices respond independently to an accent input. Additionally, the first voice can be 'choked,' and a surface control allows for fine control of additional transients. The Tyso Daiko is a fun, expressive and versatile drum module with plenty of modulation possibilities and an extremely wide pallet of sounds. It succeeds the original Dinky with the same spirit but much improved control, new features, and new wavetables.
