Cool thanks guys :+1:

A separate thread on Mixing techniques for the type of music that is popular round these parts (ā€˜electronicā€™/ambient type stuff) would be really cool if there isnā€™t already one.

Most mixing tutorials and tips usually assume you are mixing a traditional band type track, or if it is electronic music it is a hip hop/EDM ā€˜bangerā€™ :grin:

Iā€™ll stop the QPAS hijack now (that sonicstate demo is :heart:)

Rodent / Eric at Make Noise posted some clips on his Instagram with all of the outputs going into a dual sequential switch (Macro Machinesā€™ Dynamic Destiny), and it looks like quite a useful pairing and a great way of using all eight outputs at once. (Those clips also feature some Morphagene vocal loops from @xexyz being fed into the QPAS before the sequential switch!)

I meant to post this yesterday, but for once, I ended up not using my laptop or visiting the forum while I was at work.

That piano sample enhancement was lovely. So excited for this thing. :black_heart:

thanks for sharing!

I want to complain to the thread at large that my comparison to Sisters was apt. Radiate is exactly span, in the sense that it pushes peaks apart ā€“ the only difference is the topology of the cores. QPAS gives you two paired cores at each of the three standard SVF outputs: at any moment you can hear each of the high-, low- and bandpass outputs of all four filters, but only in pairs. By contrast, Sisters devotes an entire core to each output, with only the quality knob and the switch giving you access to different outputs.

QPAS sounds SO good though, wow.

I hope people have taken note of the power requirements for QPAS ā€“ it needs 166 ma of +12V and a whopping 190 mA of -12V.

Thatā€™s 155 mA more than the filter Iā€™m replacing, putting me at a total of 860mA. That makes me wish Iā€™d noticed that before and ordered my new case with a Doepfer PSU3 instead of 2x Mean Well. Iā€™ll be crossing my fingers when I turn it on the first time, and choosing future modules very carefully.

Playing around with the QPAS and TXN so far. What a sexy pair! QPAS is amazing. The !!! is amazing to get movement in stereo!

TXn and QPAS shipping the same week is a stereo blessing, canā€™t wait to give them a try.

also just spent an hour with mine- maybe its shiny-new-module bias, but this feels like one of the best things Make Noise has made, and I love and use so many of their designs already. Wow. Will post some clips in the coming week when I get more free time.

Great job MN team!

Have to say pairing it with a Marbles and patching all the things into all the things is really fun.

edit: also the SSF Muton is a great companion, can use it as two 4-channel summing mixers w/ mutes.

Yeah Iā€™ve spent about 30 minutes with mine and it is just wildly good. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever had so much fun pinging a filter. I made a short clip of some pings to give you an idea of the range. I havenā€™t even messed with variable gate lengths and so on yet. Pretty vanilla clip, just so you can hear the QPAS:

Iā€™m curious for those with the module - do you know about how much input gain (if any?) is provided by the level control?

The manual states:

The LEVEL control can also be used to adjust input drive.

But Iā€™m not sure if gain is actually applied to the signal. My main thought is whether stereo line level audio could be amplified at all by the gain control, to be at a reasonable level for the filter.

#165

just tried running my phone through it and I could get an okay level when I bumped my preamps way up so it was usable, but as far as I can tell itā€™s definitely calibrated for modular level signals and doesnā€™t have much gain in the way of line level inputs.

And with this lovely demo I feel the first stirrings of QGAS. . ā€¦
