Feedback Paths I Have Known and Loved

我所熟知并钟爱的反馈路径

Eric Schlappi will give a guided tour of the feedback paths in his modules and the sonic destruction they produce. From the Interstellar Radio through the 100 Grit and the Three Body to the Eddy, the core of his hardware design work has been to design a function or sound then mutate and evolve it with feedback.

He will walk through the basics of these paths, why they work, how they could be patched in other contexts, and how they sound.

Eric Sc​​hlappi 将带大家深入探索其模块中的反馈路径（feedback paths），以及这些路径所营造出的那种极具破坏力的音色。从 Interstellar Radio、100 Grit 和 Three Body 一直到 Eddy，其硬件设计的核心理念始终如一：先构思某种功能或音色，再利用反馈机制对其进行变异与演化。

他将详细讲解这些反馈路径的基本原理、运作机制、在不同场景下的跳线（patching）方式，以及它们所呈现的音色特质。

About Eric Schlappi

Eric Schlappi is a musician and electrical engineer originally from Phoenix, AZ but who has recently moved to the Bay Area. He has been obsessed with synthesizers since a young age and since 2016 has been designing and selling Eurorack modules as Schlappi Engineering.

His personal music and synthesizer design practice are closely intertwined and focused on performing and enabling heavy improvisational electronic music. Hard kick drums, feedback, and movements between melodic and abstract forms based on the feeling of the moment.

Eric Sc​​hlappi 既是一位音乐家，也是一位电气工程师；他原籍美国亚利桑那州凤凰城，近期移居至湾区。他自幼便对合成器情有独钟，并于 2016 年创立了 Schlappi Engineering，开始设计与销售 Eurorack 模块。

他的个人音乐创作与合成器设计实践紧密交织，核心在于演绎并赋能那种极具即兴色彩的电子音乐。其风格特色包括强劲的底鼓、反馈，以及在旋律性与抽象形态之间、随当下灵感而流转的动态变化。
