Mind Reader!



And since you apparently have the ability to effortlessly enter my mind and carry away the fevered visions therein to your secluded dream laboratory, please be so kind as to plant a suggestion that I forgive myself for the insanely irresponsible amount of money I will pay you for turning my sonic obsession into a neatly bounded box of carny joy-cackle.


Thus transforming :picard: into :excellent:

It's what you do. Apparently... :poke:

The first day this rears its head I am snatching one! :omg:

First, that picture should be used as a pedal graphic...

second...

This sounds incredible. I'm strangely moving to an all software rig but I would run this baby on my output. Can't wait to see this materialize.

2 more simulation clips:

this is a synth patch using an MS2000.

I really love that first clip. Reminds me a lot of the mojo that is boards of canada. This is the kind of box I want to use on everything.

Aah, you're in Lovetown. That explains a few things.

Like why your trans-etheric signal is blowing out the VUs of my mind.

And I know somebody put a bardo in the pond sometime back in the late 90s, but what else is in the water round here? Let Psychedelphia reign....

Signature of an artist and craftsman--without the correct proportion of :toomuch: your creations will fade into :idk:

Aaah--the Overseers are blocking my access to the soundcloud layer! :grumpy:

Further listening must await my evening return to the Auscultorium. Then, :animal: .

This is seriously awesome!! :love: :love: :love:

It'd be really cool if you had a little sample/hold thing like the TSP. So you could make your clips stutter, and sound all warbly. Seriously keep us (or just me :cool: ) posted.

i couldn't add an extra modulation in the software, but a dynamic modulation of the warble is planned. play harder or softer and the warble changes speed - that way it's pretty random all the time since your signal level is constantly in flux.

Ok, the warble is amazing, that's a given, but what's got me all :omg: is the variable crackle/white noise. Will that be controllable? Do you also anticipate adding some element of controllable compression/dirt/gunk as distinguished from the other type of noise? I'm presently combining a Mid-Fi Pitch Pirate and a J.Everman Low Fi Filter to do some of the things I'm hearing in your samples--but it's not as variable for the noise, and very tough to dial in more subtle vibratos (although that can definitely be done with patience), and the pitch wobble doesn't have the nice asymmetricality I hear in the samples. It does give me low-level clipping grit and a fairly adjustable lofi eq, but the clipping is still too close to the greater family of fuzz/od/distortion pedals and not the scraggly wastrel sound I hear in my head.

Man, I can't tell you how hard it will be to wait while you develop this.

when this materializes, i'll most likely have a slimmed down version and a deluxe version as the majority of people probably won't need control over EVERYTHING... but i could be wrong. so lemme just lay it out here. possibilites, possibilites...

controllable:
vibrato speed, vibrato depth, vibrato modulation threshold, delay feedback/repeats, gain/dirt, compression/crackle, filter frequency, filter resonance, volume
