YAH! Shipped!

Thanks for the coupon! In the hurried process of ordering, looking at other things in your shop just slipped my mind. Defintely picking up a tee and some stickers at a later occasion.

anytime man! stay rad

Man, oh, man. Am I addicted to this thing!

I know it's a small/short run, but if you happen to update the software for personal reasons, would it be made available to those of us who bought one? Sort of like the whole CT5 thing.

Quick questions:

1. Is it possible to enter cassette mode mid-sample playback? It sounds sooo good (currently loving SP the most for what I'm sampling), but it would be awesome to kick it in the middle for playback. Maybe I'm just not getting the timing right, but it just starts doing momentary reverse and granular playback when I try doing it.
2. Is it possible to assign something to the mute input button when in playback mode? Maybe something like the HP/LP bypass function when the pedal is not in sample playback mode. That function is awesome and would be cool to kick in mid playback.
3. Button combo to fade out, maybe? Rec+reverse or something with the mute input if it's possible to assign other functions to it. I will have it running into a mixer on my tabletop, so I could always fade out manually, but it would be more convenient if it could do so automatically.

Again; LOVE IT! I've already looked like a madman on the subway twice in two days, mashing arcade buttons on a box with no screen, boppin' my head.

There's some French person on TGP bragging that they bought the last one.

I bought the first one. I'M THE SPECIALISTEST ONE! Let's see what he thinks about that.

this thread should be bannable offense tbh

would love to see a gut shot of this when you get it...curious about what platform this guys using

The enclosure is glued/siliconed shut. I'm sure you can just ask him. He's the one who made the thread.

oh damn, didnt realize the dr was behind this! nice work dude

ayy! this warms my lil heart. thanks man so glad u are digging' it.

for sure will definitely be sharing any updates! was part of the plan all along and maybe even new patches can be made so it can do completely different things..synth box? crazy delay? looper style recorder? theres a lot of wiggle room i think.

my dreams for next software update are // making it polyphonic & a simple mlr style pattern recorder. (Attack/Release Envelope)

to answer your q's
1. cassette tape mode is more like a menu setting, then an in game combo move. i had to get creative w/ the 7 buttons to add the extra features so its kinda like a trade-off there on my part. if u make the wow&flutter toggle able like that, then u can't grain+reverse at the same time during sample playback. it might be possible to rework the program. theres almost always a way but like i said, sometimes theres tradeoffs, and i wanted to jam a lot of functionality into my footprint w/o over jamming it and taking away too much from the simple immediate nature, if that makes any sense.
also so that u don't trip the mode by accident just by pressing random stuff. (same w/ nu's scratch point).
haha yea i like SP most of the time too. LP is for that extra warbleeee.

2. not possible the mute input button is hardwired to the input, not controlled by the Arduino, so it can only do that. i agree its not as useful as it could be. i almost took it out completely a few times. thats def a good idea about the filter kiill w/ sample playback. i couldn't figure out a good way to make it happen the first time around (similar to #1..tradeoffs).

3. i've thought about this one mang! a fade out would definitely be cool. it would be neat to have a simple attack/release envelope. thats going on my list for the software update.
right now REC+REVERSE during sample playback toggles the SAMPLE FREEZE w/ a larger window size than if u just press REC during sample playback.

thanks for your insights man. always open to ideas, and very interested hearing experiences from out in the wild (but feel weird asking sometimes haha)

it opens! if u need to swap the lil watch battery for sample data retention at some point down the line.1

thanks man! i've been using the Generation Loss in my live setup the last couple times

its based around an Arduino Uno

UC says stuff like that when he doesn't wanna take a gut shot.

Maybe that's not really "glue". Maybe his pedal crossed jwar's path on the way to Norway.

wut? I actually did try to open it, but apparently I'm too much of a weakling.

Thanks for the insightful answers, Arch! Looking forward to other patches, but this current one is just great and will keep me occupied for a looong time to come. Really hope making these paid off enough to warrant you building more so people can get one to call their own. SO. MUCH. FUN!!!

WOw, this thing looks amazing
