Note: This is the first post on a series about my time at ELOGOXA\u00a0that I’ll write about. In the future I’ll post about\u00a0a couple of plugins I designed at the time, Kriptonia and Xs-MoDelay. Feel free to come back and check some sound examples I’ll share on them.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nELOGOXA<\/a>\u00a0was a small Spanish group geared towards the creation and development of VST plugins with Jeff McClintock’s Synth Edit. We were a bunch of\u00a0people collaborating remotely from different cities approximately from 2002 to 2005, and for most of us it was a fun way to experiment and learn on different areas of DSP processing and plug-in design and development.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nOutlined, among others at\u00a0the leading audio magazine\u00a0Sound on Sound in July 2004<\/a>\u00a0by Martin Walker on Music Freeware, our aim was\u00a0pushing the envelope creating designs out of the ordinary both in terms of concept and user interface.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Of particular merit are the stunning freeware designs by Spanish developer group Elogoxa (www.elogoxa.net), including a virtual recreation of Bob Fripp’s ‘Frippertronics’ delay using two Revox B77 tape machines running a continuous tape loop. Elottronix XL looks wonderful (see the screen at the start of this article) and offers up to 80 seconds of delay, plus LFO pan, Biquad X filtering and a tape-noise generator. Other offerings include the highly unusual distortion and feedback synth effects offered by ‘The Devil Inside’, a mastering X-Cita inspired by BBE’s Sonic Maximiser, and the vintage style Baxxpander to add warmth and saturation effects. However, for me the highlight is Sun Ra, a free-running or keyboard-controlled VST Instrument that creates complex ambient textures from samples originating from real solar sources. Wonderful!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIn addition, X-Cita was recommended in\u00a0Sound on Sound December 2008<\/a> by John Walden on Vocal Processing as a freeware alternative to established commercial products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the ELOGOXA\u00a0plug-ins were reviewed [positively, I hope :)] as well by the Japanese DTM Magazine in March 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n

The X-Cita VST plug-in was included in Soundscape\u00a0by Sidec Audio, now a Solid State Logic Group company. Other plug-ins from ELOGOXA\u00a0were included in Muse Receptor<\/a>\u00a0VST hardware host by Muse Research and the Open Labs production stations.\u00a0Below you will find pictures from other plug-ins\u00a0I developed during my time with ELOGOXA.<\/span><\/p>\n
