Strymon AND eventide

[Derelict78]

So, I own a timefactor and I'm thinking about picking up a mobius. If I do can I connect via midi and sinc tempo? If I have an exp. pedal on the timefactor, can I send exp control to the mobius via midi? I did some searches and didn't find much so I figured I would ask before I read the manuals.

[AndyTran]

They have different tap tempo midi things. Timeline and möbius would work doe

[Derelict78]

Yeah we'll I don't want a timeline.

The Mobius can sync LFO rate to midi clock. If the timefactor can send out midi clock, the Mobius can sync to it.

No, expression control cannot be sent via midi, unfortunately. You can control the knobs on the Mobius via midi, but you have to use midi control messages, not expression signals. Unless the Timefactor can convert an expression resistance to a midi message.

[Derelict78]

It can! That's what I meant can I control values via midi with an exp pedal. The timefactor can send midi msg for any parameter change. So I guess it SHOULD work. If not I guess I could get an expressionator.

I have all 4 Eventide pedals and set them up to use one expression pedal, which goes into the pitchfactor, which then sends the midi control out though the rest (and beyond to my M9 and Soundblox Pro Multiwave too). You can set up the TF to send midi CC on any channel. Don't know if you can choose the receiving channel on the Mobius, but if you can't, just set the TF to send on whichever channel the Mobius needs to receive.

Like I need another reason to gas on a Mobius...

[Derelict78]

Yeah originally I wanted a modfactor but after hearing demos of the two and doing some reading I decided on the mobius.

[Warpsmasher]

I may just have to be a fiend and get both. The MF has some of its own tricks that nothing else can do, mainly the D-mod and S-mod stuff, and all the waveform options that go with it.

[Derelict78]

The big deciding factors for me are the bit crushing and pattern trem.

[behndy]

the bit crushing is good. it's a bit cleaner than some?

i was a huge fan of the pattern trem and the am/fm mod thing. the rest were meh (chorus and flange and shit) or decent-good (regular trem and bit crusher? maybe some others?).

[Derelict78]

Wow so you sold yours? I'm trying to figure out before I buy it how it handles dirt. I have a good friend that told me most of the settings get really tinny and digital sounding. Everywhere I look on forums though its a big circle jerk. I'm not too worked about tremolo, most of the time it would be square wave stuff but I love phaser and I need that shit to sound warm and inviting.

[behndy]

i sold mine to MaxxxxyMaps. i used mines just with itself really. some with B3k into it. sounded good.

sorrrrrrries. i have no info on Plus Dirts.

[Deltaphoenix]

The Phasers sounds GOOD. There are some pulsing through zero phasing settings that are RAD and sound GOOOD with dirt.
I didn't think it was too digital sounding but then I did just sell all of my digital pedals but one (PitchFactor).
I do plan on getting another Möbius though in a few months from now.
