mwfx still in business?

[Dandolin]

Thanks man--I was scratching my head...seems like the kind of pedal that cries out for a good manual. I've figured out a bunch of cool settings, but it'd be nice, for instance, to know the spec. on the expression input.

[Uncle Grandfather]

mine has the instructions right on the back plate...

and this is right on the mwfx website
Short Mode sample length: 27ms - 300ms
Long Mode: 27ms to 10 Seconds (becoming heavily bitcrushed/noisy)
Input Impedance: 1MΩ
Output Impedance: 200Ω
Power: 2.1mm / 9v DC / Centre Negative (standard) / 65mA
Dimensions: 94 x 120 x 34mm

Expression Pedal Input - to control sample length (20k Nominal, not included)

[UglyCasanova]

It works with 25K pots (Moog) and it controls the time (length of the sample).

Edit: beat by UG, but youp, an EP-3 works

I said presets mofo, not instructions. Also, who the fuck looks at backplates? That's literally the most idiotic place to put instructions I've ever seen. LOL! I put velcro on backplates.

And we've all told you that you'd understand the pedal if you spent some time with it, but you just flipped it, LOL

Such a great pedal. There's not much to it or with figuring it out, but definitely rewards experimentation. Lately been having fun using CV from euro with it

you are going to get the most out of the pedal by experimenting

i posted this for you awhile back, sorry if i sounded like i was talking to an idiot but I had you in mind and you seemed to be having a hard time with the pedal

Hey does anyone have any cool settings they wouldn't mind sharing for the Judder?

I was working with the Judder today processing some tracks using the judder as a kinda glitchy/granular looper and thought of this thread, i'll attach a photo but

to start
Hold 5-7
LPF to taste
Mix 8
LFO 0

Toggles
Judder Mode
Static
Long
Envelope
Auto 1

BPM dial tweak close to 112 to find where repeats are played back same as original.

With tracks/song playing through it, and depending on the material, turning up the LFO knob will trigger it and an infinite? loop will start if the LFO knob is turned up high enough. The LED will light up solid, until its retriggered and a new loop starts. The LED flashes when that happens so its a good visual aid. By wigglin the LFO knob right around the range that its being triggered you can get your loops to glitch out real nice. Use the mix knob to blend the levels between the repeats and the source to get it sounding of a whole...around 8 was pretty nice with my levels, on up to 10 to hear just the loops playing.

Once you've got triggering loops you can use the Momentary stomp to retrigger them instead of turning the LFO knob.

Then try going through the Hold knobs range to see how it affects things. And then the BPM knob to distort things, and you can bring it back to 112.

Back at original setting, put it in Auto 2, and you see how its kinda backwards...starting with the LFO knob up at 10 turning it down until it triggers and Loops start.

Then try it in LFO mode with LFO knob at 0 and things get super glitchy. Turning up the LFO knob to see how that goes.

Go back to original setting so its looping or glitching or whatever and turn Judder off, then stomp/hold down the Momentary knob to engage the effect.

Once you're good an familiar with all that might as well try it out in Layer and Stutter mode to see how things go.

Modulate and Short do their thing too.

If you keep a single loop going, i'm pretty sure over time it starts to degrade, you might need to mess with the BPM knob to introduce some noise first.

Ok, that's all probably pretty obvious stuff but hope its helpful for someone. It's certainly one thing the Judder does and maybe a good way to familiarize with it. Once you are familiar with how its gonna respond try playing your instrument through it etc.

even included a soundclip

Listen I'm extremely stupid sometimes so I appreciate the slob ration. Lol!! I'm being serious hahahaha

You probably just made the most useful post I've ever read on this guy! Thank you!!

awesome spending some time hands on the unit with music or youtube video playing through it is a good way to get an understanding of how the different knobs interact in the different modes. then when you hook up your instrument and introduce your playing dynamics and timing and etc you will likely get varying degrees of different results, but at least you'll have a better idea of how turning the knobs might effect things. have fun

Haha, thanks--mine came with this black foam padding on the back, so I never knew. Guess I'll have to rip that jawn off at some point, but now, thanks to you (and UC) I can continue to luxuriate in the foamy softness for a while longer....

Definitely saw that stuff on the website, but I guess I'm just a needy mf'er, or dense or both.

Kinda wish I could just whack some cv in, but maybe this'll spur me to drop the pittance that Adam charges for a Copilot Broadband to render my cvs readable as resistance--I want to automate random sample rate settings so I can stomp the stomp and get a different sputt every time....

[Dandolin]

Such a great pedal. There's not much to it or with figuring it out, but definitely rewards experimentation. Lately been having fun using CV from euro with it

Wait, so I'm slow--you can just stick yer cv in the expression jack? 0-5v? Attenuation?

I sent Matt an email to get his thoughts on running CV into the Judder but he never got back to me I used the modded cable into VCA trick with mixed mostly positive results. Then I picked up an ALM S.B.G module, which outputs either 0-3V or 0-5V. With the 3V output nothing but good times on the Judder, kinda weird with the 5V output so I stick to the 3V with it

was gonna make little demo to show ya how awesome it is but that winds up taking like five hours thanks to my shitty computer.

Awesome - - many thanks for this!

I can easily attenuate to 0-3v with Moog shizzle...
