They look interesting, so you could load any FX in one of the units ?
Why did you sell it ? Did they sound bad ? Or is it too much computer /usb work?

Does anybody know if the WAV version of the saved patches will work when converted for loading on the RYTM? I know the patches are mono WAV, but wondering if the unit will accept them at the 48khz format that the RYTM uses. It would be cool to send patches changes on an empty track. Different patches per pattern, sample slot p-locks, conditional trigsā¦ my mind is racing with cool possibilities! Iāve got a Bitrazer coming in the mail, so I plan to testā¦ just wondering if anyone has tried!
I will have to test this but I donāt see why it wouldnāt work as long as the overall pitch/speed is retained. Pretty sure it would work off a cassette as in the days of the ZX Spectrum.
Thanks I hope it works! Will open up amazing possibilities for my live set if so!
Thanks for the new thread @PeterHanes. I was thinking of starting one about the Aira FX modules because Iām a really big fan of them, especially at the super cheap prices you can get the less popular ones (read: Torcido and Bitrazer) for now. Maybe we can have a patch swapshop?
I need to do some housekeeping and testing with the patches Iāve been making in the customiser app but for example Iāve been playing with building a combined chorus and filter to put my DX7 through. Also a stereo chorus. And a noise gate > tube drive > filter > compressor chain.
The default Torcido ātubeā distortion is really nice on drum machines though. I canāt turn it off anymoreā¦
Iām surprised there arenāt any patch repositories out thereā¦ or maybe Iām not too surprised since these modules seem a bit overlooked. Iām really excited for my Bitrazer! Question on the dual mono I/Oā¦ can that act as 2 channels effectively? Iād like to have an effect or synth on 1 channel and a simple gate divider on the other. Iāve patched it up in the customizer (even though I donāt have the module yet lol) and it seems like it will work. Iād love to be able to use channel ā2ā only to halve the gate from my Roland A01 and feed that into my Volca FM.
It will totally work (if you bypass the default internal processing), your only limit is room for the modules and the available griffers for what you need to control.
You can also make griffers control multiple parameters which can get interestingā¦
Woo hoo! I canāt wait to experiment!
Youāre welcome. By complete coincidence, I just ordered a Torcido at the blow-out sale price.
Note that there is a separate topic for the Aira EFX Scooper module:
but all other Aira EFX posts can go here.
I may have missed this, but does this look like they are no longer continuing with the line, or are they just cheap now as thatās thie final market price?
I wasnāt aware you could do so much with them. Hmmmā¦interesting
I donāt know. I suspect they havenāt sold that well, apart from the Scooper/Demora. The Demora in particular seems to be popular with the Eurorack crowd as itās a pretty flexible digital delay and obviously an affordable euro-compatible looper (the Scooper) I guess is relatively popular. But then how big is the eurorack market actually to a company like Roland?
My guess is theyāre going to discontinue them and shops are selling off their remaining stock cheap. Iām a big fan of them, they sound great and theyāre really well made. Nice knobs.
90% of the retailers here in the US still have them at their original MAP price of $299. My guess is some dealers bought in heavy, couldnāt sell them and are blowing them out.
I plan to make as many patches as possible to prep for the inevitable time when they discontinue support for the customizer and our laptops/ipads/tablets are too advanced to run the old software
Indeed.
I wish theyād put some resources/tutorials up for the specific examples they tease at the end this vid, but the supplied presets are a really good starting point. Some crazy stuff going on.
Yeah they do look hefty and weāll built.
I wonder if they will release more, mind you with all the options Iām hearing about, they probably donāt need to
Ahhh buying in volume. I guess as long as the consumer wins, who cares!
Yeah, I mean theyāre light, the enclosure is plastic but the front panel is metal. Itās mostly that the knobs are lovely and smooth and donāt wobble.
This is a good practical demonstration of mucking about with them and seeing what happens. Obviously you can completely detach the default internal processing and just have it as a filterbank or whatever else you want.
Iām on the Scooper myself, bought it after using a Boss RC505 round a mateās house. Saw potential, then found this and knew I needed itā¦
I know there is a Scooper thread but the editor ties us all together!
Iād buy the rest if they were cheap enough, like mini Nord G2s!
I could see them maybe releasing a āblankā module in a smaller format. I think that they probably didnāt get quite the reception from the Eurorack community that they thought. All of my friends that are into Euro say that these take up too much space and power.
