heres the first release from cooper fx. It's the AARP (automatic arppegiated repeating patterns). A polyphonic pitch sequencer with three modes so you will hit only regular pitch shift intervals. major, chromatic, and minor. Goes from an octave down to an octave up. Selectable between 4, 6, and 8 step patterns. Right knob introduces feedback, middle is mix, left is tempo. Right footswitch is bypass, middle is reset sequencer, left is tap tempo. I think that covers it. It's basically the spin fv1 hooked up to a sequencer being controlled by the electric Druid tap tempo chip

That's clean. Just to make sure I understand, it'll kill the Arpanoid?

They both have great qualities. The simplicity of the arpanoid is beautiful but limiting. This guy has ultimate tweakability but is more complicated

Does it do random?

I guess if you close your eyes and twist the knobs it's kind of random...?

now with terrible quality video. will try and get some better quality audio files up. image is reversed because of camera

towards the end of the video you see a weird chorus like effect. in the major mode (with the sequence knobs tuned to the root note) the pitch slowly ramps up, in minor it slowly ramps down to infinity creating a crazy chorus.

I'm throwing money at my screen, but nothing is coming out.

(How much will this cost?/Where are you in NJ?/Any chance I can test this with a bass?)

If you can make it into Manhattan at night or on weekends, I can hook you up with studio audio. And maybe let me play with it. Strange Tales would be invited too for bass trials.

Love the aesthetics and very curious to hear more of its sounds. Very, very cool.

If you'd like a demoer, let me know. Wink wink. :excellent:
