what happens when you "virtually" push the reverse button up and down really fast? how about hundreds or thousands of times a second? this.

Well I have to say that is fucking awesome

what song is this?

aphex twin - flim
if I remember correctly

I'm trying to hurry up in finishing this. unfortunatelly it looks like there will be no overdub (really really problematic) and thus it won't be so much a delay as it will be a looper. even recording loops that are less lengthy than the thing's max loop time is proving to be complicated. but at least that's a hurdle I know I'll overcome.

a god among men regardless.

Goodie!

Tabletop oriented I guess?

How much more/less difficult is this to build than the Hollow Earth?

Sweet Jesus.

Yeah, tabletop, or floor or whatever. It was never meant to be a record-and-forget type of looper so I didn't see the point in adding stompswitchs. It only truly shines when you're twiddling knobs, so...

Difficulty? ehhhhhh about the same, build-wise. There isn't the friggen 7-seg display but there is a second mini-board (not pictured) for the 16 leds in the middle. And there's over twice the number of parts, so a lot more will go wrong. The programming was much much more difficult for this, too. I started planning/researching for this almost a year ago, and started the actual hardware and software work about 2.5 months ago. Started over once. I'm so fucking glad it works now.

It's like a mini computer. For real. It has a CPU. The two small chips top-right are RAM. Etc..

it still has small glitches and weird design limitations/decisions. Like you don't record a loop shorter than the max available 5 seconds. you record a small clip by setting the trim start and end pots, or you don't trim and record the full 5 seconds. It's kind of archaic. For my own use I won't have problems with it, but for others who need to time a loop length totally in time with something else...... almost impossible. Guess it works better for droners/ambience.

The 16 leds in the middle sort of light up where the "playback head" is at any given moment in the sample. Useful when you're trimming.

GOD DAMNIT

This looks beautiful

Sample and hold with a ring mod is an awesome idea.

This looks like.....














Awesome!

holy fuck waiting for the PCB to come will be so long. ETA 3 weeks if I'm lucky.

guess I can do the enclosure in the meantime eh?

what project should I do next?
maybe an OD. the world needs more ODs

Marry me.

You make me want to eat rat poison.

In a good way.
