So, this is a 'foot-action' pedal here. Is this what you would technically call a 'Freeze' pedal, right? So, if Mode2 is all Ct5 offered, it might be comparable to Raptio or MiniGlitch?
If I seems hesitant, silly, or ignorant, it's just that I want to make SURE I'm 'getting it all' and not missing anything. There really is a lot of Mysterium surrounding this pedal, and I just don't do 'can't figure it out'.
Ct5 CAN be pretty simple if you JUST use it as a 'normal' guitar pedal, and don't do any on-the-fly tweaking... agree? At least in Mode2, with no real secondary features, except for XPedalOut (which I am working up to... yes, I AM playing real conservative here just so I absorb everything). The 4sec vs 8sec of course opens up the Time (TranscendenceMode), but I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE EXACT MILLISECOND TIME OF THE 'QUICK CAPTURE'.
How QUICK is Ct5, in milliseconds? I know with my EHX Hazarai, you have to hold the Capture for 1 whole second. With Ct5 I'm guessing between 80-120ms? (same with Zellersasn?) I do understand that you can set the 'LEN S' faster (apparently) than the actual softswitch, so, if you Capture something 'as quick as possible' (but it can't be nano-quick or Ct5 WON'T process- hence my question about exact milliseconds), and set your 'LEN S' very very fast/quick, then you get the 'impression' of a quicker-than-what-you-captured occurrence.
Does my inquiry/head-scratching make sense what I'm questing about?
, well, yeah...Count to 5 can be used as a regular slapback delay if that's what you are looking for (and don't think I didn't get lost in that setting more than a few times playing w my regular firmware). It can also be used to cop almost ring moddy kind of sounds in mode 1 w most of the non blend settings towards the CCW position...it can also be used as a reverse delay for moments or breaths of time...it can also be subtle birds softly in the back of the mix...or a VARIETY of uses if you choose to pick a setting and just stomp on/off in a pedalboard. Add expression and now you can do even more. That's the thing w Count to 5...it's a fairly deep pedal. There are a LOT of things one can do with a pedal that has these controls...from traditional to a setting that only you've found useful, count to 5 is an almost bottomless pit of possibility. and there is NOTHING out there quite like it. Sure some things do count to 5ish things, but nothing IS count to 5. You can get a zillion tube screamers or delays or this or that, but there is only ONE count to 5 (well, technically w the nightly firmware and new casings there are like 8 or 9 count to 5's but you get what I'm saying?).Ct5 CAN be pretty simple if you JUST use it as a 'normal' guitar pedal, and don't do any on-the-fly tweaking... agree?

It's always a tiny-little-bit too soon or too late, but it annoys me a lot.
I wish there was a way to set that switch as a standard looper with a first press to start recording and a second press to stop recording and start playback.
To be clear, I still love it as I did in the past years, but it would be a big improvement for live performance IMO.

It just didn't sound like I had set it the night before. So, does Ct5 lose its memory, so to speak, when turned off?

Just wanted to highlight this...

Can we get a 5th anniversary style box but instead of triangles, it's Simpsons, and instead of green, it's yellow?
I'm sure Disney would be fine with that.

I will look into it, there is a version like this of one of the older firmwares but it may lack some of the later features for the standard fw. I believe it is .941k here

WTF?
1) Control tempo (DIR1)
2) Step variance (DIR2)
3) 1-3 playback heads modulated (DIR3)... is this like 1/2 way thru it goes to 2, and then all CW it's 3?
So, if I record 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and (8 notes), leave DIR2 at '0', and DIR3 at '0', will DIR1's 'repeats' slow down/speed up as I twiddle the DIR1 knob?
And then with DIR2, is that going between single notes, two, three, four,... and so on?... like a 'scale'?
All I know is that I set it up, recorded something, and this rush of notes came back, in all registers, it was... unbelievable!!!
Again, since Ct5 doesn't 'remember' settings, I wasn't just yet able to dupe last night's awesomeness.
Either way, I guess I've figured out that Modes 2-3 do 'do' anything UNTIL you record 'something'. Is that correct?
