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

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?

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?

love that kind of snapping electricity sound. nice layering at the end, too!

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

Yeah this is really nice, thanks for the patch notes too. Can’t wait til these are back in stock.

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

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.

Of Course! Boy, I can’t wait to get another one.

The constant wave switch essentially just adds the pitch control to the formant CV. So it’s not quite the same thing, but you can get pretty close with a voltage source multed to pitch directly, and formant via an attenuator.

Just had this start happening t mine as well. Did you ever find a remedy?

#189

The only cause for pitch instability I’ve ever reliably identified is caused by the PITCH or FINE potentiometers going bad. Get in touch if you need help replacing this service@whimsicalraps.com

Thank you,
I sent an email this AM.

before selling my Mangrove with other modules to fund an mpc, i sort of “cloned it” as a custom unit for the er-301, so if you don’t have a Mangrove but you do have an er-301 you can try this:

of course it’s not the same thing and it is more limited soundwise but the internal working is very similar to how the Mangrove works, so the sounds are more or less in the same area.
