regular delay time zones, using the bright color mostly to accentuate the hiss. smooth random modulation to uRate for warbles. really loving this module.

Very long recording of 0-coast being fed into QPAS then Mimeophon, tempo synced modulation to color and zone, euclidean gate to hold, and the 0-coast’s envelope patched to halo. Honestly just can’t get enough of this thing.

First play with the mimeophon. Time to go through the manual now :sweat_smile:

Do the little windows in the COLOR section ever light up? I don’t see them lighting up in the videos, it doesn’t say in the manual (that I’ve seen).

#273

Mine don’t but i feel like they should!

I don’t think they have LEDs behind them but I like that they let through the light from whatever other LEDs are on the neighboring module and a little of the Zone LED. Do blinking lights have any meaningful impact on power consumption? If so that could explain why QPAS and X-PAN don’t have any lights at all, since those already consume so much power.

I’m simply an enthusiast and not an electrical engineer, so I’d encourage anyone more knowledgeable to correct me if I’m wrong. As far as I know LEDs only draw a few milliamps at a few volts, meaning the power consumption is very low. You need circuits to make them behave the way you want, and that takes up space on the circuit boards. With digital modules it’s trivial to add because the microprocessors have output pins that can be used to drive LEDs, and then their behaviour can be set in software.

Spent some time with the mimeophon last night, running Rhodes through it. Lots of sweet spots. Was enjoying the longer zones for some modulated Frippertronics stuff. Looking forward to digging in some more. The only thing that I’d ask for in my brief time so far is a shortcut to clear the buffer— it would be helpful in the longer zones. (I didn’t see a way to do this, but I may have missed it?)

I find the unit less intuitive than expected, despite having consumed a lot of content and reading the manual beforehand.

It seems learnable, but figuring what to put through it and and what settings to use when doing so is an art unto itself when working with robust patch that is more than feeding it some melodic lines in isolation.

So as expected, it isn’t “a delay” and attempting to use it as such will be a mostly disappointing experience (even if it sounds good).

Having the same experience! It feels less like a delay than it does an ecosystem of which delay is but one use. Still not able to use more than one parameter at a time with a sensible result, but love the discoveries I’m making along the way.

Halo and Color are really knowable, but the other controls are much more complex.

Certainly! I’m finding it best to approach it as an instrument to be learned and less like an effect to apply. Mimeophon is currently in a pod 48 with clouds, w/, CM, a mic input and a headphone out. The little case is turning out to be quite playable as a looping-smearing-repitching-livesampling-soundsmoosher

I am curious, is that because of a lack of visual representation of the buffer content and the read point? I can see that this could become problematic especially in the larger zones and that in order to get predictable results you have to keep good track of what exactly you have fed into it. Which in a complex patch can become hard to do if your focus isn’t only on the Mimeo alone all the time.

Or is there other reasons for why it doesn’t feel very intuitive?

I finally set up my monitors so I could do some proper stereo operation… wow! I was impressed in mono, but now it’s blowing my mind with how spacious and lush it can sound. If you’ve only been using it in mono I recommend setting up stereo ASAP.

I’ll get around to doing some proper recordings one of these days.

Part of it is definitely a lack of knowledge about where you are in a higher zone’s buffer and what you might find there. Also you have to feel out rates in clocked mode per zone.

Again, most of it seems learnable.

I find the nesting of zones, and not knowing exactly what’s waiting in zone 7, to be one of the coolest features! :slight_smile:

I definitely don’t disagree, but it also really depends on what your musical goals are.

#287

That’s true. Though, It does make it feel like more of an instrument to me. Something more like a Cocoquantus than a simple stereo delay unit.
