I agree with this. Along with a spring reverb, its my only other effect right now. Most important, I think it sounds awesome! Its really smooth. The added features give it much more value and make it pretty unique: the zones, the clock out, the halo effect. I also love the abilty to modulate the time as well as clock it at the same time. I love the Karplus Strong side of it as well. It’s very playable too, its really easy to pop in and out of variations with the zones. I love that the zones are mulitples of each other because finding a pattern that is in time can sometimes be a little tricky especially with skew engaged, ands its really easy to got some variation by switching zones but not touching the skew, once you find the pattern combo you like.

I also tried running it from my mixer through two aux sends out and treating each channel separetly. If you set the skew right you can have a pretty long delay on one aux send and a shorter one on another send. It essentially operates like two separate delays that are intertwined.

My only gripe is what’s mentioned above, with the Hold not being locked to an obvious time when pressed. I really wish that would be addressed, but its not a deal breaker.

Turns out it was the gain. I was overdriving a Veils prior to Mimeophon. I need to see about adjusting the input gain on Mimeophon to compensate.

#411

I like the idea that a single delay line can be a delay, flanger, chorus, looper and a karplus string synth. It feels very serge inspired in that a single delay line can be whatever you patch it to be.

Looking at picking one of these up. Worried about getting rid of my other delay to make room though. I like the feedback loop on my current delay for feedback patching with wave folders/three sisters other etc. Delay is the only effect I keep in my rack because I like the ability to clock/mod it with cv. Curious which function the mimeophon plays in peoples racks or if you switch between often. How is it for SOS looping/flanging/chorusing or do you mostly use it as a delay/KP strong voice?

I have just put my 4ms DLD back in my case (was going to sell it after getting my Mimeophon). It works so well with Mimeophon as I feel that it fills in the gaps of what the Mimeophon doesn’t do - crystal clean repeats, precision on what you’re clocking, a hold function that seems a bit more straight forward, as well as its feedback loops.

To answer your question, so far I’m still mostly using the Mimeophon as a colourful, toneful delay, but with the DLD in my rack its nice to be able to know that I can use that for straight delays and Mimeophon for different effects, and vice versa. I think having both will encourage me to explore different uses of each module more, so that I will always have a straight up delay somewhere in the chain (essential for me!). I’m now feeling that it’s better to have another delay alongside Mimeophon than not!

Remember that you can ahieve some of those effects with Mimeophon at the same time as other processing too!

That sounds legit. When I said Mimeophon is an excellent choice of a single effect, it seems like it would really benefit from having overlap with other effects in a system. Also, I’m not convinced you can have too many delays? I mean, musical goals depending, but that feels just as true as the VCA’s statement. :laughing:

I’ve been putting Mimeophon in everything lately. I’ve been getting a nice vibe from short delays with long repeats, darker colors and some halo – sort of retro and metallic and overdriven – or of course, even shorter delays for resonator stuff.

That got me in a sort of retro/hauntology mood, so I’ve been pairing it mostly with exaggerated tape/vinyl/BBD style delays and effects – a lot of Valhalla Delay and Arturia 3 Delays, but also XLN RC-20 and the new Denise Bad Tape – and related techniques and such.

I’m curious whether MI Warps would be a good compaion to a Mimeophon, using one Mimeophon output as the signal and the other as the carrier … or would that be too … warped?

Just so you know, I ordered one after fifteen minutes of loan time with @josker’s Mimeophon :man_shrugging:

Gate the Mimeophon’s HOLD input to create stutter, jitter, and glitch effects, and to dynamically trap Repeats in time loops!

Well done! Can’t wait to see more content like this. Nice touch with referencing these techniques in existing tunes — makes me want to revisit those tracks and try to figure out how they were made.

@walker This is awesome! Any thoughts on perhaps the ability to lock the ‘hold’ to the clock input in a way that loops in time? I’ll be chuggin’ away on some super rhythmic patch with the Mimeophone clocked to the Tempi and as soon as I hit the Hold button everything goes out of time. I would LOVE to have it be able to hold whatever is the buffer AND be quantized to the clock.

Plus one. I’m considering picking up a Mimeophone, but the issue with hold staying in sync with external clock is one thing that’s making me hesitant.

I decided to take the plunge and get a Morphagene, I caught a good sale for a new one on Reverb today. Being that Morphagene def has the ability to sync loops to a clock, I think i’ll be in good hands just freeing the Mimeophone for straight delay and other non looping suff. I can’t wait to try these two together, seems like its going to make a great pair.

My favorite pair of modules at the moment–so cool to have them next to each other. I like Mimeophon into Morphagene more than the reverse.

#423

Interesting, I would have assumed the other way around would make sense but I’ll have to try that! Looking forward to it.

#424

The main reason is probably because I started out with Morphagene into Mimeophon, and had a hard time figuring out exactly what Mimeophon was contributing to the sound. It sounded great, but it was easier learning how Mimeophon worked with a less mangled source.

I got mine a couple of days ago and I am beyond pleased with it! Such a wonderful module.

I’m curious, should the flip button engage instantaneously? Mine kind of has a mind of its own.

#427

Seems to be some talk of background digital noise issues over on MW, anyone here experiencing that? Fingers crossed I’m expecting one next week so I’m interested if this is a widespread thing or only a problem on certain units.

I’m afraid it wasn’t very useful searching for ‘noise’ in a Make Noise thread!

#428

I’ve not had a problem with the mimeophon (nor with the morphagene). I suspect the issues people have are outside the module.
