Happy to help!! Welcome to the fam 🙌

There shouldn’t be any problem with that! You’d just go from mono to that MISO pedal and then keep it stereo from there. I’ll try it and see if I notice anything odd happening with phasing and I’ll get back to you - I doubt it will be an issue though. :)

Hey thanks!! Nice combo with these two! 🙌

Clean but dirty! Haha 😆 Thanks for the comment 🙏

Hey! Good questions. So the M8 can do whatever genre you want! Especially because you can make any style of music with samples you load yourself. What kind of music do you want to make? I'd think more about the process than the output. You'll find a way to make something that you like, but some tools lend themselves to some genres a bit more than others. The OP-1 also can be very synth wave / 80s, but with samples and and the way you produce, you can change what the outcome is. If this is your first piece of music learning and music making device, I personally wouldn't start with an M8, and I probably wouldn't start with an OP-1 either. What drew you to these specifically? Have you done any music production and creation in software? I'd probably get the process down and learn more about the whole picture before I'd jump into either pieces of hardware straight away.

Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate the kind words. =)

It's super cool! I can definitely see it on drums under everything else going on, really adding an interesting bed to layer on top of!

Thank you, and I agree - it's got lots of possibilities for creative sound design for sure! Did you check out my other video I put out today on it as well? On just a simple 4/4 kick pattern I was able to extract a lot of interesting sounds. I was surprised how interesting it got with such a simple input.

@@Duskmos ah I’d missed that, on it now :) thanks

Yess RYTM is my favorite (modern) drum machine too. I'll never sell it! I haven't tried any midi or CV with the Prismatic Wall yet, but I plan to!

Thank you! Love it on drums the most so far. It adds so much to the space between (not a DMB ref) the kicks, esp when edging on feedback osc. Fantastic work yourself! =)

Hey thanks for thanking me! It was sitting there begging me to get weird with some kicks and I was just having fun and thought, "hey I should record this" haha - glad it was helpful!

Yes! So much! Really cool. Especially when you get the random wobble just right and it sounds like tape =)

You're in luck! I pulled it from a demo I did over 3 years ago haha: th-cam.com/video/FFKP0Kwblqo/w-d-xo.html

Just in the edit, I recorded it clean through the same signal path, sans the Launcher and then just cut between them!

@@Duskmos ahhh, the magic of video editing. Sounds great

It's SUCH a value. I just tried it on a whim and now I recommend it pretty often haha.

EHX hasn't published that info anywhere so I think your best bet is to reach out to them directly and see if they'll share that info. Either way, it sure sounds good and to me that's the most important thing. =)

That being said I'm sure it's digital at this price point, as far as sample rate/bit-depth, they'd have to tell you.

@@Duskmos EHX already replied. They said that Platform is a digital device. The sample rate is 32kHz @ 24-bit depth.

@@ColectivoLaberintos Thanks for "closing the loop" on that!

No problem! Knee is basically the “attack” of the compression - soft knee is like a longer slope to compressed and usually sounds smoother!

Oh and limiter is just the peak, think of it as setting a “max”

Haha sorry not sorry! It's sweet. I feel like it could be the *only* reverb anyone could need or want. I have some other favorites as well obviously (I'm sideyeing my pedal shelf right now haha) but if you only had one, this could cover SO much ground...

Thank you! Deco 2 is a solid choice as well, another great one is the EHX Platform - the drive on that is really nice - plus you get the benefit of compression. Great bang-for-buck. I have videos on both, as well as some coverage of the OTO Machines BOUM, the Elysia Karacter (I have videos on those too) and the Elektron Analog Heat (my current go to in my setup - any generation, I have the +FX now - video coming soon - but I've had them all). Those are a few higher-end options, and each of these all have their own character. I have my personal favorites of course, but everyone likes something a little different. Happy to answer questions on any of these if you want =)

You nailed it! Some say the Elektron workflow is trackeresque (which I love), and it is in a way, being able to jump from step to step while programming unique trig locks and things, but for me I just prefer being able to play something in organically and THEN go in and nerd out when I edit.

@@Duskmos BINGO! That rings so many bells. On that journey I've kinda found midi recorders kinda fit that bill but not in every case...kinda hijacking the topic a bit what would you add to this little list: the live recording on the Polyend Tracker actually almost gets there...the little Retrokits RK008 midi recorder allows for non-destructive per step quantisation and is a lot fun but an arse to edit...the Hapax finally looks to be the sequencer nearest to that "play first, futz after" flow and has enough sequencer resolution and CC control to make it choreless plus you get the tactility of being able to draw waveforms and modulation shapes with your hands, but it's a chunky beast in form and cost...oddly some of the older Korg stuff seems to get it a bit more, allowing for high resolution midi recording AND motion recording so you can futz and dabble after, but it never evolved fully. I'm waffling...what bits of gear work for you in that context?

​@@Farold_Haltermeyer To be honest with you I've never used a dedicated standalone MIDI recorder before, but for me, I mostly come from a background of first-gen Korg Electribes and then moved into the MPC1000. From there I took a break during my college years and then picked up the first gen Maschine before finding Elektron. Ever since then I've been really loving the Elektron workflow. It just suits me, BUT, because of coming from a background of either step editing or playing in loosely on the MPC where I grew to enjoy recording without quantizing, I sort of landed in a place where I do "takes" until a pass feels right to me, and then let it simmer for a while and then come back and shift things around if need be. I almost always realtime record in my notes on pieces like the A4 or RYTM (but then go in and nudge notes around). I feel like I do a lot more step programming on the Octatrack (but always play with sample parameters that easily wonk that up - in a good way haha) but also find myself playing in slices in realtime and occasionally using chromatic mode. I use CV from my A4 to control my SH-101 as well, which comes in handy, and then my OTs midi tracks for things like my Modor NF-1 or anything else - and the same benefits apply to the nudge-ability of notes. I also like being able to keep those sequences on external gear saved in with my OT projects, using the OT as a master brain - I guess in that sense it is a midi controller haha. I think I put my name on the list for a Cirklon like 2 years ago now however haha. =)

@@Duskmos I hear ya :) and well done for holding out for the Cirklon...I think I cancelled at 18 months and went for the Hapax, I don't have your patience. OT remains my hub/brain too, I just enjoy working with it

Yeah! I’m really impressed. I’ve had the Evos since I got them for this video, and actually now also have the Shape 40s to demo as well, video coming soon on those! Sub one is so good!

Yes good thing to mention! Kind of a bummer.

They are a bit bigger than average for sure - though these I'd have to say are a LOT more size friendly and on par with larger "double wide" type pedals - maybe closer to the larger Strymon stuff. Some of the older Glou-Glou stuff like the RENDEZVOUS were chunky though for sure haha. You'd almost need a side table for it haha.

Oh yeah makes sense with a much more aggressive input - not sure how to handle that attack. Good tip!

Thank you much! I put a little more effort into the demo patterns for this video in particular so I appreciate the compliment!

Ooh yeah I could see that! I ordered a Thyme right when they were discontinued but the retailer lost it in shipping so I never ended up getting one. I’m excited that it’s back and want to check out the new one 🙌

@@Duskmos My Thyme+ was delivered yesterday, love it!

@@minimal3734 Sick! It looks cool, I went to Superbooth and saw it at their display but didn't really get into it other than to just turning a couple knobs haha, looks like a good time though!

Yeah! As long as it is a 9V center negative (so any pedal power supply) that puts out at least 200mA will do the trick.

@@Duskmos thank you very much!

@@neglectsound You're welcome!

I haven't noticed but I'll see what I can suss out this weekend! Stay tuned.

Yeah the Flancher 7 and 9 are more Phaser than delay :)

Check them out at Glou-Glou.org

Haha is that a pedal?

@@Duskmos Nah, it's a famous/infamous song from an obscure artist (Q Lazzarus) that featured in the film 'Silence of the Lambs'. The song playing on your A4 is strangely similar tune to 'Goodbye Horses'. There are meaningful differences between the A4 tune and 'Goodbye Horses' but it's eery how much they have in common, at the same time.

@user-du1rs2sb4r Oh weird! That’s a creepy accident, Clarice haha 😆

@@Duskmos This reminds me of the "infinite monkey theorem", you know?

Haha yeah! Everything will eventually be played by us all 💯

Sadly I didn't do any CV exploration in this one, I'm saving that for a dedicated video. Best believe the Left Brain will be in that one though. =)

I appreciate that! Crispy FM into warm tape is a pleasing combination isn’t it?

Thank you so much! Lovely crunchy goodness you’ve developed! :)

Hayyooo hope you enjoy it! 🙌

Haha it's a good time!! Super crunchy and yet also smooth, like peanut butter

It's a good one!!

Fun pairing! Chroma adding some flavor to the BAM 💥

Yep! Just commenting on what each preset sounded like out of the box. As you noticed the big mute buttons not being lit make that pretty obvious I thought. Thanks for the comment!

@@Duskmos You are welcome! Keep on with the reviews. Greetings from Macedonia.

Thank you for tuning in 🙏 - cool to have you here :) I love my worldwide friends

I really liked this pair! Sadly I let the Mosstone go in a trade. :/

You definitely could, but also why not this way - sticking to standards isn’t exactly my thing :). I often like delay after reverb, but in this case I mostly wanted to apply effects like the Diffusion and Texture modes after the reverb here, for noise and compression and broken/weirdness. :)

Oh no! That’s not cool lol, but hey welcome back!! 🙌

Thank you! It’s pretty badass for the price - enjoy it 🙌

Mono only, but enough delay and reverb and you can get a fuller sound for sure! :)

Yeah, that’s a little bit of a shame, you could put it on a channel you mute on a mixer or have some momentary mutes in line from it that you press to silent switch, a workaround but maybe not the most ideal…

Haha I mean sure, but also do you know of any other light controlled modulation sources in a small pedal friendly box?

@@Duskmos no, i don't. But i'm asking myself whether an lfo needs to be controlled by light. Or better yet, if the light control is a feature at all. A smooth random cv plus a couple of vca's would do the same, more or less. Or - to keep it simple - a proper lfo pedal/module with some more controls. Not meant as an attack on your presentation. Just my view on this.

@@averagepainter Totally understandable! It's a unique device that may or may not be for everyone. I think it's pretty cool, but I get it. I'd be curious if there are any alternatives in the pedal space, obviously in the eurorack world there are lots of modules that can do this kind of thing, but as a standalone box for pedal/hw users, def a unique option here.

@@Duskmos el garatje offers a really cool expression lfo thing with a 10 second record/ repeat function. there is also the copilot fx broadcast which is just an expression lfo with tap tempo. i have both of these products. there is alot of overlap between those devices and this one. the price tag is a bit daunting on the left brain at first
