Best demo of p2 yet. I'm motivated to spend more time with the LFO mode today. Thanks for this!

[@danielherbert8060]

Just got mine, love it. This video is great, and I also thought the “how to get started” pamphlet that came with the pedal was excellent.

[@liquidsolids9415]

Super-cool. Thanks for the great demo!

[@El...Presidente]

Great video Red Panda. I feel this amazing pedal needs a 7 part series… its range of sounds is just massive. 🤩

[@MrCasetanner]

Brilliant and super inspiring!

[@chiefbucknell]

So grateful y’all made this video. 😊

[@chiefbucknell]

One of the next times I rewatch this, I need to write some study notes.

[@blankmarkblank9669]

Yes, really good demo. Thank you!

[@MusicDiscoveryLab]

This was very helpful. Thanks for posting!

[@MarkRigler]

Thanks, keep them coming

[@delivrance3961]

awesome!!!

[@spikemoss]

I’ve owned this pedal for a while.. I had NO IDEA there was a web editor!!! 🤦‍♂️

[@spikemoss]

Excellent demo for an amazing pedal

[@In-Visible-Light]

@redpandalab - a curiosity, what happens to the sound when one switches between modes? Does the pedal cut, mute or glitch the sound?
Thank!

[@redpandalab]

It smoothly switches effects, no cut, mute, or glitch. In "expert" mode, switching modes reassigns the param and delay/pitch knobs without changing the sound, so you can layer and combine effects. (Hold ON-TAP-PRESET to turn expert mode on/off)

[@asynchronicity]

How does one decide between this and the Tensor?…?…?

[@G.GordonMidi]

Cuz the answer is both!

[@patrickr6505]

I have Particle, Raster and Radius 😋

[@mg9009]

can I use as straight freeze effect and straight pitch shift effect without crazy sounds?

[@redpandalab]

Yes, in pitch+dtune mode with no feedback or detuning (param knob), you can get straight pitch shift and freeze. You would probably want to use the web editor or TouchOSC to select one of the pitch quantization modes to make it easier to dial in intervals and set the feedback mode to one of the repeat # or % modes to get three types of freeze: grain repeat (stutter), auto-freeze based on signal level, and manual freeze via footswitch.
Note that if pitch shift is your primary use case, the Tensor or Raster will give a cleaner, low-latency pitch shift. The Particle's granular pitch shift is tuned using the chop knob (grain size). The Tensor can freeze via the momentary hold function, while the Raster gives two pitch shifts (but no freeze). The Particle 2 will give you many jumping-off points with detuning, feedback, LFO, random forward/reverse playback, etc. You can use those options subtly to add a little bit of uncertainty or dial in a unique sound.

@@redpandalab wow...such detail...thanks!

[@G.GordonMidi]

Talking Heads melody?

[@z1reticuli]

Still waiting for that video with advanced features to come out...

[@ghostandtapeDoesVideo]

Maybe remix this video and turn up the volume of the lady’s voice (or turn down the sounds)…
