I'm interested in this pedal but only for use with my synthesizers. I think it could be an interesting pair for any of my mono-synths.

I can't imagine using it in any real capacity with my guitar.

Honestly all the Meris stuff is technically amazing but I really dislike their interfaces, for the most part. I always forgot Mercury7's and Polymoon's secondary functions. The only reason I still have the Ottobit and Enzo is because I rarely bother with their secondary functions. Thankfully the Hedra seems to have a simpler secondary function layout (or maybe it's just that the secondary functions aren't so varied).

Would it kill them to label the secondary commands on their pedals?

I could see it being great for mono synth and bass with the pitch locking, chorus, and super stable thing. I also like really cold digital delays on those types of sources.

I guess I should clarify my earlier post since I don't really play guitar anymore. I'd like to try this out on various synths and/or samplers

I could see it being cool as shit with vocal and drum samples.

There are too many "polyphonic" pitch effects out there that in practice only handle triads. I hope Yamaha makes some pitch pedal soon with the old digitech team. I thought the last generation whammies was really good in poly mode.
Considering how solid TC/Digitech/EHX are with handing polyphony I think its completely unacceptable that these much more expensive brands that are supposed to be top tier can't produce a pedal that is reliably polyphonic as a $130 Pitch Fork. Eventide, Meris, and anyone else putting out $300-$00 pitch pedals should be shooting for that standard at the very minumum.

Yea I could never use Meris or Eventide for any normalize type of pitch shifting. The Pog and variations on it however are great as well as the Whammy pedals from Digitech. It is weird how that works.

For those asking about it on synth, I included quite a bit of that in my demo here. Definitely check out around the 4:40 mark. Can do a pretty impressive faux/poly synth.

I want one of these so fucking bad. I just want to try it. I've loved something about every Meris pedal even though the way they function sometimes pisses me off. They all sound so damn good.

I’ve never missed my Monotribe until now. This really makes me wish Korg would release a larger format unit with user recall.
