ah thank for these quick replys! @Benjamin_Mauch i already inspected it everything was in place.
@dubiousphil I’ll try that next, thx!
status update: seems like I’m still on the old fuses. will order replacements and see if i can fix it

#106

Yep - I’ve long heard that this is consistent (and normal) across all Mangroves. It certainly is the case with mine.

#107

Whew, ok. It’s not too audible or anything, but I wanted to check to see if there was something I could do (trimmer?).

#108

As far as i know it is by design to make it more responsive to AM.
Wondered myself in the beginning, using it as complete voice …
Now I learned to really appreciate it as a design decision and use it in very different ways.
Mangrove taught me a lot! :slight_smile:

You can close it all the way by adding a bit of negative offset to whatever you are sending into Air.

That is so great to know!

Just got one, and came to ask this. Thanks for the negative voltage tip. :vulcan_salute:

I love the Mangrove.

Just one little thing that bugs me: The built-in VCA doesn’t turn down the volume completely, even with Air full ccw. I can always hear a bit of sound coming from Formant.

Is this just happening with my unit or does everyone have that behavior?

This happens on both of my mangroves too. I thought it was just a problem with mine until I got a second one. Wish there was a fix for it

#114

if you put a bit of negative offset on your cv it will close. :slight_smile:

The same happens on mine. I usually don‘t mind though since I tend to use the air control as a vca for velocity, so I always have another vca after it.

@justmat’s fix sounds like the right way to go. I believe the not-closing is a feature, so that audio-rate modulation sounds better.

Ha, never thought of it! Have to try that. Thanks!

I always wish you could pass the square through air, or bring in an external signal.

I’ve owned two Mangroves in the past, but traded them for something else. Right now I’m in a panicky low vco and 16 HP to fill situation and I think I’ll have to give it a third try (third time lucky perhaps). A couple of years ago people seemed sell theirs a little now and then, but now there’s none to find on the second hand market.
So, is a new batch coming anytime soon?

#121

I’m waiting for one too. On the WR website its written that theyre expected to be back in autumn so it should be soon I guess.

#122

I pre-ordered one at Schneidersladen just a few months ago, while they were also still available at the WR store. Never got one unfortunately. Probably should have directly ordered at WR, but not having to deal with all the customs stuff seemed more comfortable. Hope that I can get one when the next batch is ready, it’s the last missing member of the Mannequins family in my rack :slightly_smiling_face:

It seems like it’s in stock at https://cymrubeats.com/product/mannequins-mangrove/ ?

Hey all,

I’m kind of in a tight spot, deliberating selling my Mangrove, but I want to be sure that they’ll be available in the future (new batches), before posting in the B/S/T forum on MW. I’d like to think that we’ll be able to purchase a new Mangrove at retail price, for the foreseeable future, before letting go of mine. Does anyone have any good information?
