2020.0621 Modular Drone (Stereo)

Drone City! Pulsating stereo e-stim track made using modular synthesis: Plaits, Maths, Magneto, etc. Feels great driving an ErosTek ET312B or E-Stim Systems 2B.

ET312B Setup: Select Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of music player set to maximum.

2B Setup: Select Stereo mode with output of music player to about 90% maximum.

Channel A: CockCap paired with an ECup

Channel B: Large Flo BiPolar

Have fun! -Eric

2020.0516 Pulse Train (Mono)

Here’s a mono track I made while wired up to an ET312B in Audio 3 using a Moog DFAM analog synth. I didn’t listen to this one with headphones while turning the knobs — I just focused on the STIM. Isn’t that the point?

Enjoy! -Eric

ET312B: Select Audio 2 or Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum. You can create a Split with Audio 3 on one channel and a built-in routine on the other, for unique effects.

See ET312B: Set Split Mode to learn how.

ET232: Select Audio Loud mode and set MA control to max with output of player set to maximum.

2020.0509 Taurus in 2 Parts (Mono)

This is a longer, 2-part monophonic e-stim session I composed using a Moog Mother-32 and DFAM while wired up to an ET312B in Audio 2. Feels awesome with an ET232 in Audio Loud too. Enjoy!

ET232: Select Audio Loud mode and set MA control to max with output of player set to maximum.

ET312B: Select Audio 2 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum. You can create a Split with Audio 2  on one channel and a built-in routine on the other, for unique effects.

2020.0430 Melodious (Mono)

Here’s a sequenced mono track made with a Moog Mother-32 while wired up to an ET232 in Audio Loud. Can also be used with an ET312B in Audio 2 or 3.

ET232: Select Audio Loud mode and set MA control to max with output of player set to maximum.

ET312B: Select Audio 2 or Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum. You can create a Split with Audio 2 or Audio 3 on one channel and a built-in routine on the other, for unique effects.

2020.0423 Low and Slow (Mono)

Here’s a mono audio e-stim (AudioStim) track I made with a Moog Mother-32 while wired up to an ET312B. Also works well with the ET232 in Audio Loud.

ET312B: Select Audio 2 or Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum. You can create a Split with Audio 3 on one channel and a built-in routine on the other, for unique effects.

See ET312B: Set Split Mode to learn how.

ET232: Select Audio Loud mode and set MA control to max with output of player set to maximum.

Now go, get some STIM! –Eric

2020.0412 Wait for It (Mono)

Here are the mono – left and right channel – tracks split from the original stereo track. Mono tracks work great with the ET232 and add variety to the stereo track when used with an ET312B.

ET312B: Select Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum. You can create a Split with Audio 3 on one channel and a built-in routine on the other, for unique effects.

ET312B: Set Split Mode

The ET312B can be customized in many ways and Split mode is one of them. Split allows a different mode to be sent to output channels A and B.

The default setting for Split mode is:

• Channel A: Stroke
• Channel B: Waves

You can easily customize Split to send a mono or stereo AudioStim track to one channel while sending the output of another mode to the other. This creates almost limitless possibilities by combining playback of audio with an independent and out-of-sync generation of stim pulses. Great for extended edging and training sessions.

Customizing Split Mode for Audio

Let’s configure Split mode to send Stroke on Channel A and send Audio to Channel B:

1. Power ET312B ON
2. Press any key
3. Press [Menu] key – Start Ramp Up? is shown
4. Press [UP] key – Set Split Mode?
5. Press [OK] key – Split A: Stroke
6. Press [OK] to confirm – Split B: Waves
7. Press [DOWN] key once – Split B: Audio 3
8. Press [OK] to confirm
9. Split mode is activated

MultiAdjust (MA) knob controls the tempo / frequency of Stroke and input sensitivity of incoming audio signal. Setting MA to minimum will reduce audio input level for interesting effects. I suggest setting MA between 10 o’clock and maximum to feel the effects of both channels.

Don’t Forget to Save

To save your custom settings for the next session:

1. Press [MENU] key
2. Press [DOWN] 3 times – Save Settings?
3. Press [OK] – Saved! Press Any Key…

AudioStim with DFAM

Just uploaded a new AudioStim track I made over the weekend. It’s a mono track, so it works great with the ET312B and ET232.

ET312B: Select Audio 3 mode and set MA control to 12 o’clock with output of player set to maximum.

ET232: Select Audio Loud mode and set MA control to max with output of player set to maximum.

I composed this with headphones on while stimming. You can listen while stimming if you get a splitter cable, like the one sold on Amazon here:

Enjoy your STIM! –Eric

Stimming on Soundcloud

Woke up this morning, made some coffee and felt the urge to STIM…

Checked out some new tracks from a few artists I’m following on Soundcloud.

Landed on a new track that begged to be jacked into my ET312B in place of the Phaser routines I’d been stimming to recently. Grabbed a stereo Y-adapter and connected my gaming headphones so that I could listen and STIM at that same time.

The settings I used were the same I use for most AudioStim sessions:

• Mode = Audio 3
• MultiAdjust (MA) at 12 o’clock or mid-point.

I wired myself up in the usual way:

• ECup + CockCap on Channel A
• Bipolar plug (MJ this time) on Channel B

This track is long enough and has the right amount of modulation to deliver a strong HFO near the end. And it sounds great through the headphones too.

The segue around 41:43 is impressive. I can still feel some lingering effects of that earlier STIM session as I listen to the track again while writing this post 😉

So find some quiet time, get wired up and FEEL THE BEAT. Enjoy!
