Yep, that’s my main issue with the module.
I wish the 2 values of the feedback knob (feedback & start point) were stored in 2 memory buffers. And you would have to move the knob to take control of the current parameter. Hope I’m clear.

This is a cool feature if you aren’t wanting to hold something in the delay line while you are playing with the feedback up, because as soon as you press the hold button it’s out of sync.

Yep, it needs something like this, 100% agree. You could probably patch something where it sends the feedback to zero when you hit the hold button but that’s some unnecessary patching.

That’s my plan. Looking forward to having two delays in my case.

Hmm, someone mentioned the slight noisiness of the module before… I’m having similar issues – actually, the dry signal brings with it a fair bit of noise.

Fully wet or by completely bypassing the Mimeophon in an otherwise identical signal chain, the noise is eliminated. Anyone else notice this?

Intellijel TPS80W. I did notice that the noise is present even if the Mimeophon is fully wet, it was just masked. Will have to probably experiment with changing power sockets within the Intellijel case, in case (ha) that makes a difference.

EDIT: Here’s a recording of just gates being sent to the Mimeophon.

#390

The chain is:

Gates from Cirklon CVIO –> Mimeophon left input –> Mimeophon stereo outs to Intellijel Line Out module. The mimeophon is full dry, no cables plugged in.

#391

No varigate.

EDIT: It has to be said that my gain staging is probably not optimal right now, that’ll probably get it to levels where it isn’t that much of an issue.

#393

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it – substituting the CVIO out of the picture helps reduce the noise. I’m so accustomed to having it in every patch that I didn’t even think that could have developed some problem. You helped me keep this Mimeo witch hunt very short, thanks again! :slight_smile:

Just using trigs/gates to ping filters, originally.

#397

I haven’t noticed any noise with the Mimeophon. Particularly in contrast with the Morphagene, which I found to be really noisy.

#398

Triggers and gates can excite a karplus-strong delay line like they can ping filters, but yeah, not optimal for troubleshooting anything :slight_smile:

Using triggered functions (envelopes) with short attack as your sound source can also be fun in Zone 0. If Repeats is relatively low they can excite it, and if it’s higher, the decay can actually sap the energy of it so you could use it to sort of poke holes in the self-oscillation. Modulating Repeats above and below this point makes it respond dynamically to the function stream, especially if you’re also modulating the function’s decay time. :sunglasses:

I suggest Just Friends in sound/transient mode for this… tons of control over “envelope shape” and size…

Also, def try this out with any triggerable wavetables… or even a sequencer that can run at audiorate but can be programmed to stop after a single cycle (something like the Serge TKB maybe?) to give you direct control over the exciter impulse wavetable…

Starting with firmware version MP70, the Mimeophon will let us instantly empty the sound out of all Zones by setting Mix and Repeats both fully counterclockwise.

I love that you can do this via CV. It makes it a creative element.

This is rad!

@walker Can you explain if there is any rhyme or reason to the way the hold button works? When I have the Mimeophone clocked to Tempi and press the Hold button, I can’t find any logical way to generate a straight loop that stays in time. The loop in the buffer always skips around and never locks into the same pattern that the delay was currently at. Is there a combination of knobs that will give us this? Thanks!

I think I might be having an issue with my Mimeophon. It’s making some fairly unpleasant noise when I have signal passing through it, a sort of fluttering static, even when the mix dial is set fully CCW. I also hear the noise in the repeats if I’m using one of the longer zones.

#406

So we might be able to troubleshoot with you, can you provide some further information for us?

What gain setting are you using? Does the same noise persist if you remove mimeophon from the signal chain all together? How about noise with only dummy cables plugged in to mimeophon? What power supply are you using? Is mimeophon being heavily modulated?

If you had only one effect module in your system, Mimeophon is a very good choice.

I am traveling with an 84hp system at the moment, and I don’t think there is a better general effects module you could choose. The delays are great and versitle, the color filtering is perfect, and the reverb is good enough if not versitile. It may not be the right choice for every system, but damn is it good at what it does.
