I’m guessing you may know of them, but if not, the Mannequins Technical Maps are the best module manuals I have ever seen and answer these questions: https://github.com/whimsicalraps/Mannequins-Technical-Maps/blob/master/mangrove/mangrove.md

I am also have this issue as of a few weeks ago. Any insights from you both? I am going to try inspect it and see what I can find.
I’ve had it for 2 or 3 years with no issues other than the warm up time.
I’ll remove a couple of modules from my case to see if its power related… I dont have a second case to try

The issue hasn’t recurred since I reseated the boards. I have no idea what caused it!

#170

Editing in December to say that it was not a fix and I am still trying to solve the issue
Thanks reporting back that the board was slightly loose and I reseated. It didn’t seem to fix it straight away but I again left it running for a couple of hours and absolutely no drift in that time and perfect stability. Seems the board coming loose is the culprit. It would make sense given the age and the fact that I had done a little bit of traveling with it recently

This is lovely. 20 characters of praise!

I received my Mangrove today (bought on Reverb this week because I’m impatient) and this thread was a really great read. I will probably be back with questions in the (near?) future. Comments here already prepped me to be able to explore it a little.

Thanks everyone!

I’m not sure if this has been addressed here, but has anyone ever tried the back solder mod to change the fm to dc couple? I had two mangroves but realized I didn’t need two…but I’d be interested to see how this changes the sound

#174

This!
I can’t believe I have never thought of re-creating the mangrove sound with my DPO and MATHS.
It feels like I’ve unlocked yet another dimension of my shared system.

Help me :frowning:
So i have mangrove for a while and honestly bought it because im in love with every other mannequins module. The only problem with mangrove is that most of the time i get harsh and “rough” sounds this while i like more softer and “natural” sounds. Any tips for exploring mangrove softer side?

#176

dont overuse the internal Air VCA. if you modulate it with envelopes, be sure to be able to attenuate the level of modulation BEFORE reaching the Air cv in.
start with the barrel at noon position, its bipolar, the softer spot is in the middle (iirc, i sold my mangrove months ago).
go light with all modulations, use attenuators or vca’s on them before hitting barrel, air and formant cv in.
it can be an adorable soft very organic vco, no harshness if you dont want it. it can sound like a very jazzy brass source if you caress it soft enough :slight_smile:

Been revisiting Mangrove this week, got some nice cello-like timbres this morning

EDIT: additionally, some death metal timbres?

Holy hell that does sound like a cello. Patch notes?

tempi> wogglebug (rene cv in to “add”) & rene > mangroves & just friends
mangroves > mimeophon
pressure points > verbos HO > mimeophon (drone notes in back)
modulated by just friends (cycle mode, but triggered by rene) - modulating barrel and air on both mangroves

thanks for checking it out

I just wanted to give another thumbs up to using the Mangrove as a modulator. My absolute favorite Mangrove use case at this point is as the carrier in a ring mod (I use Moddemix) with the other signal being a sine. Mess around with both oscillator pitches separately until you find a sweet spot (of which there are many) and then control them both with the same volt/octave signal There is so much expressivity when pushing the air control to various degrees with envelopes.

Hmmmm, what does everyone think about an attenuator for sweeping between constant wave & constant formant. I’m waiting ever so patiently for a new wave of Mangroves to hit the shelves (thank goodness for crow in the meantime) and just thinkin ////

@Galapagoose , was this on your mind at all while watching Mangroves grow? Would another Knob and likely a cv jack have fit into a desirable enough HP? Mangrove v2? hehe <3

#185

While this would be fun, I’ve done this with 2 Mangroves + Cold Mac as a crossfader. The square out to the sync of the other Mangrove keeps the second one locked in.
