I have had the chance to spend the day with with, and its very good indeed. As others have pointed out, itā€™s like a single channel version of the Count To Five pedal. Mannequins modules need patience to understand what is going on and what the consequences of your interactions are and w/ is no exception.

I now get the idea behind the 8 hour sample time. The module is a place to put stuff. Stuff you can pick up at a later date and use as source material. In many ways this element serves the same purpose as Radio Music.

Iā€™ve just ordered another two so I can Count to Five directly in my modular case. A really fun module that is rewarding to fiddle about with ( with ).

I ordered // and I am really happy to hear the Ct5 comparison! Much excite!

That makes me understand why someone might want 3 or 4 of themā€¦ a couple for storing source material and a couple as real-time tape-style loop manipulation.

Definitely a module thatā€™s going to reward persistence. Even the tutorial is a struggle to get through! But gradually getting the hang of itā€¦

Here Iā€™ve figured out how to make a gradually decaying looper to make some slow layered synthscapes with a single mangrove.

Can anyone speak plainly about the desirability of multiple modules?

#318

That was lovely! Is that earthsea on the grid?

Did anyone order direct from whimsical? Refreshing those emails waiting for shipping :slight_smile:

Thereā€™s some (not very nice sounding) clipping in your video, does that come from the module (i.e. over max headroom) or from the phone (I guess) used to record it ?

#322

Hmmā€¦ mine has completely seized up on me about 8 times within the first hour and a half of using it. I have to power down and back up for it to start working again. I have it hooked up to very reliable power supply too. Not a great start.

#323

Is the vibrato from tape modulation in W/ or on the Mangrove/input material?

#324

@jimi23 yep thatā€™s earthsea

@oscillateur The clipping in the video is from instagram, which often adds that to my posts when I forget to bring the volume down a little. In the original audio there is no clipping. Having said that, Iā€™ve noticed it is very easy to get the module to clip. Iā€™ve put an attenuator before the input to help avoid this.

@photofractal I had the same experience, it just seemed to get stuckā€¦but Iā€™m pretty sure it was user error for me. Now Iā€™m getting the hang of it, it doesnā€™t seem to happen.

@yoyosandshoes Modulation is on mangroves barrel input. As far as I can tell, you canā€™t modulate both tape speed and overdub/overwrite at the same time as they both take input from THAT, depending which mode youā€™re in: NAV for Tape speed; LIVE for overdub/overwrite. Presumably Teletype integration will get round this.

You could very easily make out of phase tape loops - like music for airports, for ever. And Iā€™m sure there are a lot of other use cases.

I do think that it would be difficult to ā€˜playā€™ several of these at once - Iā€™m interested to see what slashes will do to help with this.

Iā€™m already finding that the ā€˜tapeā€™ on my w/ is full of stuff I have no recollection of recording. Itā€™s really fun to make new loops and find the detritus of old music spilling into them.

Occasionally my W/ is getting into a mode where the white light next to the loop button is lit and not the yellow. Iā€™m unable to then get back to normal looping mode (both lights on) without power cyclingā€¦ does anyone know whatā€™s going on here? I am in some strange mode?

#327

You have definitely entered ā€œcheat mode.ā€

But I just want to play by the rules!!! :smiley:

Iā€™ve been experiencing the same thing. Havenā€™t figured this one out yet.

of course they are all sold out. Two years in the making, why not making a few more :slight_smile:

itā€™s this kind of shit that makes me hate euro. I would prefer one of these WAY over the plaits or whatever but itā€™s still annoying
