Re: Delays w/ trigger in
If you want to create random triggers get a S&H and route it to a comparator. The comparator will send out a +5v or whatever signal when the S&H is above the threshold. The S&H is pseudo-random. Another way to do it is to FM a LFO and run that to a slope detector.
Speaking of delays with triggers, there were a number of rack units that you could send a midi command and they would do like 2 or 3 sec. of sampling. I believe the Quadraverb+ was one of them. Another midi command for playback, and I think there was cc control over speed.

Yea, I saw a bunch of those racks when I was looking around for more pedals with this. Good to know that they actually work like that.

I am thinking about modding one of these sampler pedals with a S&H cicuit to get some psuedo-random stuff like you said. I dunno, those DFX91s seems like a good platform to start off of.

Either way, I'm certain that would create some great sounds into a delay trigger in....
I think the Strymeline will accept a midi command to re-start a loop; with short enough loops that could be very, very cool.
Currently my major delay wants have become whatever D Rainger and Mysterious J come up with and an RSD-10. I'll leave the DIYing to my betters like you, lordgalvar and doommeow amongst others....

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
Oh, let us know how glitchy you can get that RSD-10. I messed with the RRV-10 but flipped it pretty quick...not really a place for it.

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
8-Step doesn't do it. The steps are always the same length apart. It also didn't trigger the DSD when I tried so having one slider up and setting it to random didn't do anything.doommeow wrote:You're right. RTG wouldn't work. But would the 8-step? It's got expression out and a random direction mode... That would give you the option of various preprogrammed rhythms as well as random stuff. Maybe.Dandolin wrote:I thought about this, but does the RTG also randomize rhythm to some extent? Or are you thinking that into some kind of pitch to voltage unit?

lordgalvar-definitely checking the RSD-10 pretty closely. Recently scored a RPS-10 and that one is pure win.

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
Did you try putting a boost between the 8-Step and the DSD? Maybe the CV signal isn't loud enough? Supposedly it can be triggered with a boosted mic, so maybe something that isn't a cv source, but a really loud sequence would work better? I know when I would do it, I would have to sample it in rec mod and then switch to rec/play mode which made it more reliable? I dunno.oldangelmidnight wrote:8-Step doesn't do it.

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
I am going to be trying to figure out a way to externally trigger a DFX94 now. Here goes nothing. I'll let you all know what I find out.

^Luck.
If you return alive and successful, I will be pestering you with questions, b/c I haz DFX-94 inthemail!

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
I've got some designs worked out. I when I get my DFX94 in, I'll check to see if they will work, then order parts, then test it all out for ya. I think it could be neat?

No, that was more complicated than I was willing to get. I don't want something as fiddly as that.lordgalvar wrote:Did you try putting a boost between the 8-Step and the DSD?

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
That is kinda what I meant before about having to carry around too much stuff to make it worth it (for me). I had a trigger pedal board, which had like 4 or 5 pedals when I usually only run 4 or 5 pedals total.oldangelmidnight wrote:No, that was more complicated than I was willing to get.

Re: Delays w/ trigger in
8 step should work.
The LFO out of the goatkeeper could also work - i can try this with a DSD-2.
