copilot fx transmission preview

Post by autopilot »

:snax: lofi sampler up to aprox 1.5 seconds, quality reduces the playback resolution (kinda bit crushed as you turn it up, until it goes to silence), there will be two footswitches one for bypass other for playback

:love: is it possible to use it as a "long delay" pedal as well? (i.e. one that you can still interact with in real-time, rather than just playing back a loop..)

uh, sounds great! I love those kind of effects.
now the cv guy again: is the loop window probably syncable via cv (to an LFO for example)?

Oh shit! That was my favorite feature on the Vox Looper. Some IDM music possibilities.

You keep putting out very inspirational pedals! Where do the ideas start.. In the toilet as with all great ideas?

The ideas comes from a lot of places, music (the transmission came from palo alto and gotosleep- yay radiohead and pistola incubus), sometimes one idea morph into another and you forget about for some time, then it start taking form (caracol), sometimes talking with other people about sounds (android), while i start with one idea and it fails, but has something that wasnt totally as planned but has potential, and somehow one day you have the missing ideas. When i'm isnpired i cant stop walking, i go fro one point to another a million times or start making funny noises with my mouth, once my mom thought i was going crazy.

I need stutters! I'm surprised there's no kind of lfo pitch effect thing. Just seems like something you'd do. Any price point guess?

Still working on a frw things, perhaps i´ll move a couple of months, since i still need to adjust a couple of things, and would like to make less lo-fi than it currently is.

Can you be more specific on the lfo pitch thing,sounds interesting but i cant match your description to sounds on my brain, perhaps it´s doable.

Some kind of warble effect, using a sine wave to alter the pitch. I guess a vibrato effect.

Victory! :!!!:

Will it be possible to adjust the rate at which the sample playback time on the fly for that "somebody pulled the plug on the record player" effect? Either by standard resistance expression pedal or preferably CV? Please?

Edit: I guess my question is sort of a repeat of, or at best a corollary to, Univalve's earlier, quite pertinent post.

that's the plan, probably it will be ready for summer
-still need to increase the fidelity, right know it's pretty lofi (8bits), sounds very bitcrushy
-rework the sample playback, due when the playback it's activated and you increase the playback time knob it reads/plays some random stuff that was previously recorded, it will make it hard to use the cv/exp control this feature in a interesting inspirational way.
-Also want to be able to read/play backwards
-add a vca for maximum sonic pleasure, so you can reshape the playback, so it will could be use for hold chords, incrementing drones, and not only for stutter/scratched cd sounds

Probably it will be in a bigger case, but i'm still working on it, i will take a break from it, due i have some stuff giving final touches, and a fresh start it's always cool, because i can organize better the ideas and have less stress to push things
