Ajouté : 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Meet Novation Launch Control, [music] a compact new addition to the Launch Control range.

[00:00:08]>> [music] [music] >> Hello Giles. Hello. How are you? Fine. A little bit tired because Superbooth, but it's Superbooth, yeah. It's super. Yeah.

[00:00:26]Well, it's good to see you back. Um, was last year your first year? 2025?

[00:00:32]>> year.

[00:00:33]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's good to see you back. Thank you.

[00:00:35]>> I mean, your system um has grown massively of your all the all the things that you're doing now.

[00:00:42]>> Yes. So More baby. More, more, more, more, more. And then we've got this. So, this is what we're looking at today, which is Fracteous.

[00:00:51]>> Fracteous. Yes. So, what is it? Ah, it's a fractal oscillator, polyphonic fractal oscillator. It's polyphonic.

[00:00:58]>> Yeah, it's polyphonic, eight voice eight oscillators, yeah, four voices. Okay.

[00:01:02]And um it's a new synthesis. It's a fractal synthesis. Okay.

[00:01:08]>> if you see fractal, it's a uh it's it's shape uh manufactured with um many pattern at different scale.

[00:01:18]And it's like the nature, it's very organic, moving.

[00:01:23]Uh and I take uh this mathematical function for uh make curves and with shape with uh shapes uh and yes, the sound is very unusual for for uh digital synthesizer.

[00:01:39]Yeah, I'm not sure I quite understand it, [laughter] but that's okay.

[00:01:44]Let's have a listen to it.

[00:01:46]It's okay, sometimes I don't like to understand everything that I'm using when I'm making music, you know. Um but yeah, let's let's have a listen. So, we can demonstrate demonstrate some of its principles.

[00:01:58]>> um two fractals. Two fractals, yeah. And can change.

[00:02:03]And you don't and you have a chaos because with fractal you need chaos.

[00:02:09]And a day of calculation. Right. You can morph between two fractals. Okay. You can have a spread for the tone. Yeah. And a texture with formant. Okay. And you use you can use primitive controls for like LFO. You see the I don't know if you see the pink Yeah, I do. Yes, yeah, yes. I see. Yeah.

[00:02:29]I use like LFO and you have here uh envelope. Okay. Oh, so there's yeah, built-in envelope.

[00:02:36]>> save, of course, and load if you want.

[00:02:40]And Okay, let's hear it. I can show you.

[00:02:52]>> [music] >> There are many, many, many very strong.

[00:03:00]So we've got presets we can load.

[00:03:02]>> Yeah, it's presets. Yeah.

[00:03:18]>> [music] [bell] >> Was that aftertouch you had?

[00:03:36]Was that aftertouch involved with that?

[00:03:38]>> Polyphonic aftertouch. Oh, wow.

[00:03:41]It's really quite comprehensive.

[00:03:42]>> Yeah.

[00:03:43]And >> [music] >> Yeah, try a couple more presets.

[00:03:59]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Great. And you see So I noticed [clears throat] we've got as well four CV uh It's polyphonic with MIDI. Yes, with MIDI here, but also with CV. CV and gate.

[00:04:27]>> Four input CV for polyphony and eight CV with attenuator for modulate what do [music] you want. Yeah, so we've got texture pitch spread, morph speed amount, F chaos, and what's that? P chaos. Yeah.

[00:04:43]Lovely. Yeah.

[00:04:45]So yeah, you mentioned we've got an envelope in there. Is there a separate envelope for the filter and for the Yep.

[00:04:50]Yep. Yep.

[00:04:51]So it's quite comprehensive.

[00:04:52]>> Yeah.

[00:04:52]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, and [music] I must admit listening to the demos it it's it does sound quite different.

[00:04:58]>> Yeah, it So I guess that's to do with the [music] the fractal synthesis Yeah.

[00:05:02]you mentioned. It's very different, yes.

[00:05:03]Yeah, it is. Yeah, so I it's good. It's refreshing rather than just another poly synth or [music] whatever, you know.

[00:05:10]>> [laughter] >> So it's also good to see there's lots CV in there so we can really manipulate the sounds and and things like that. So is this available to buy now? Yes, uh just at the end of Superbooth. And what's the price? Uh 560 euro. Euro with VAT. With VAT. Yes.

[00:05:30]Smashing. Well, great. It's it's great to see another one from your your crazy family here as it's growing. So uh thank you very much for the demo.

[00:05:39]>> Thank you very much. Cheers. Thank you.

[00:05:40]Thank you.

[00:05:43]>> [music] >> Mhm.
