I’m trying to decide if X-PAN can replace Praga in my rack but that’s a topic for another thread.

In the Instagram live video from today there’s a section where the buffer is being held and Walker is playing around with parameters; when he changes the repeats amount the sound itself changes. I know they’ve stated that repeats + halo + color are all interconnected and that changes made are none destructive to the material in the buffer, so I’m really curious to learn more about this. Could make the microsound system even deeper than it seems on the surface.

@nutritionalzero — your views on Instagram are well known, but have you tried just watching directly from MN’s Instagram page? You can see everything folks in the app can see with minimal risk of burn from the dumpster fire. You don’t even have to be logged in or have an account.

Same problem currently although I do love my Praga and wonder if I should get hrad to add. In a related thought to this thread Im strongly considering Mimeophon to replace my Magneto

Via Instagram, modulating repeats while a buffer is held changes the start time of the buffer, with zone setting the buffer size. So good!

Wow, so in this context, rate then becomes a varispeed control, with Repeats starting the loop start point?

Very cool, especially when considering pairing this with tempo-synced doppler-free rate changes (a form of pitch quantization then in terms of vari-speed)

After the first Superbooth demos I was intrigued, seemed to sound really nice but after all saw it as “just” a delay. But I also thought that knowing Make Noise it will probably have few interesting tricks up its sleeve and here I am wondering how to make room for one. I think it would pair great with Morphagene.

I caved in, made room, and pre-ordered. The instagram clips have revealed some really neat tricks under the hood (Karplus Strong looks so cleverly implemented).

I think I am fast becoming a Make Noise fanboy. I just love the designs (look, functionality, ‘mode-less’ operation, ease of use etc.).

NOTE: Power is precious in the Eurorack environment. The Mimeophon only requires 100mA at +12VDC, and much less than that on the -12V rail. There are not many powerful digital modules that can make this claim. It’s an attractive quality that cost us just a little bit more money to implement. Use it to your advantage!

will this module be good for making “digitar” -like sounds?

Meaning karplus-strong synthesis? It’s supposed to…

Interesting that the tempo synching offers so many small divisions between the input tempo and the extremes (*2 and /2); very happy to see 1/3 and 2/3 ratios. Probably helps keep things more reigned in with the skew control and maybe encourages modulation of the clock input.

Also the Octavio patch examples sound crazy !

This might sound simple, but when combined with the feedback of the Repeats
parameter and the spatial smear of the Halo parameter, the end result is quite effective at creating complex and highly illegal stereo imaging.

Not sure if that’s a typo or Make Noise quirkiness :wink:

could be it refers to the phase correlation of the result. i.e. it’s all over the place, if not mostly opposite phase ;]

to some, make noise is now known for not respecting “pan law.” you might say we are pan outlaws, or pan scofflaws.

(pan law isn’t really a relevant concept in the context of the Mimeophon, but i wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with this phrase, which came from tony)

tony has also mentioned in conversation that when mixing records, your options for creative panning are limited because of expectations of listening environments and accessibility, but when you’re patching your synthesizer we have no right to impose such limitations on you.
