    Don't forget there is a way to add your own custom phrases. It works as text to speech. This would allow you to have variety of tones/phrases but have a bit more control of the output and not be completely random output. It is mentioned in the manual, I believe it is accessed through an iphone app. I'm not sure if there is any other way.

  • @flarejhonson6361
    @flarejhonson6361 Год назад +51

    Simon: Technique Suggestion: make a collection of things (pedals and/or mixer and whichever else thing you’d like) to generate the audio (I suggest you add a matrix pedal which changes the feedthrough of L/R channels so you can change the nature of the feedback). Then pass the output through something which controls the gain (to reduce the gain) so you have a “before gain” circuit and “after gain” circuit. Add controlled effects “after gain” and have one output which feeds the controlled “after gain” back into the “before gain” (creating yet another feedback, but without overload) you can choose if you want to amplify the controlled output before adding it back to the “before gain” circuitry. Enjoy!

    Boss Flanger: Adjust the two internal trim pots. I think one on 0 and one on maximum. Then you get a feedback loop synth with a completely controllable note with one knob and a bit of a noise gate type control with another knob. Super musical. I mounted mine on a drum pad screwed onto a cymbal stand so I can stand up looking cool while I use it on stage.

    By the way, I learned this from Hainbach, you can send aux outputs from the mixer into pedals and back into the mixer (a pretty normal send-receive setup) then send the pedal return channel back into the aux, creating a loop. That way you can do yes-input loops, and your mixer becomes a console for feedback experiments. Choruses become flangers and reverbs become screeching horrors.
