cool pedal, but the latency is tricky for me - i'm too ingrained to play on the beat instead of in front of it. It reminds me of the Roland GR-20 I had years ago. haha
yeah you really have to get creative to get it working to a set beat or anything
one way i've found to do this is having it run into the masf possessed set so that it glitches at a regular tempo, it makes it way easier for me to get like timed riffs going with the miku.
i think it would be cool if they made a hardware MIDI sound module for it so that the pitch to MIDI conversion wasn't done in the pedal, that way as tracking technology improved we could get better results, and you'd be able to run midi outputs from synths into it. i guess that could all be done with a computer but vocaloid software is still really japanese-centric (for a good reason

) and not particularly easy to use.

I've been learning the latency by setting the Miku to Random 1 or Random 2 and playing along to vocal melodies from cheesy anime themes and j-pop. I think Random is the slowest as far as latency and the "n" sound definitely has a slight volume drop, but trying to sync up exactly to the melodies is helping me to learn to "play" this pedal immensely. lol

Fun: Miku Stomp into MAK Octronix, RM-1N, HF-2, and TR-2. Still haven't found a distortion I like with it. Yet.

that's an awesome idea, need to try that.
the random modes are my favourite, definitely feels more natural to play to and has a bit of variation, a couple of the modes sound either too deep or too piercing to my ears.

That's fucking great, especially because I just spent yesterday actually listening to demos of the Klon and Klones for the first time, including the one from that channel versus a Soul Food. What excellent timing! Now I want to hear a Miku into and out of the Klon.

I use only the random mode too. Love the fake vocal stuff i can create that way.

this needs to go in a feedback loop

Delay w/ Miku fx loop. Please.

That first clip is hilarious!
The second sounds really beautiful I think, a bit like what I'm experiencing with the Miku combined with the CT5 and a delay.
I don't think I have a stereo delay, I have a Boss DD-5 but if I remember correctly it isn't true stereo, just wet / dry, I've got a DMM-550TT though so I could try that.
Did you play notes on your guitar in those examples too or was the whole sequence just triggered by playing one note and fiddling around with the PDS afterwards?
What's the difference between putting the Miku after the delay and doing it this other way really?

I touched my finger to the cable and latched so I had some noise to trigger the initial Miku. Aside from that, I didn't do anything to influence it. The DD5 should work, just make sure that the wet out goes to the Miku.
the difference between doing it this way and just using a feedback loop is that the delayed repeat goes into the Miku. It's got an input delay buffer to let the bend function work, so if you don't put enough delay between the output and input, it will just detect it's own pitch and drone. Full disclosure though, I don't own a feedback looper like the Chk Chk Boom, but the drone is what happens when I prop the guitar against the amp.

That second clips is great. Miku GAS is back. Dammit.

I have a Chk Chk Boom. Miku just sort of drones. I like running the SOMMS into her and making her glitch. I use the vowel sounds a lot for a synth squarewave.
