Perhaps the first ever Eurorack modular review video with a (very subtle but so well played) Missy Elliott reference?
Hah, yep ✅
Your enthusiasm for what you do jumps off the screen. Thank you it is appreciated.👏
Even the subtitles are applauding 13:00 :)
you had me at "blissy hyper-ambient background dub pad bed thing"
Perfect timing as my mimeophon just arrived today :)
I already bought a Mimeophon, and am currently in the process of building my new rack so I haven't played with it yet... thanks for selling it to me again.
Your voice keeps my sleep paralysis demons away.
Awesome stuff! I've been hoping like crazy for this exact video to show up. :)
It's my favourite delay, great review.
5:58 Sick Missy Elliot reference 🔥 I'm sold.
This thing sounds amazing.
awesomeness once again!
My second time watching this. Such a wonderful and informative video.
It’s this or the Chronoblob 2- and although I love Make Noise gear the size, and the fact that it’s about £200 more, mitigates rather against the Mimeophon. Not without a backward glance mind you… Thanks for the demo.
Three weeks later: I bought the Mimeophon after all, and love it! Again, thank you!
Great demo.
Best video on Mimeophon I have seen 👏👏👏
A friend of mine convinced me to get this even when I explained that I have a Magneto in the rack and about 4 Strymon delay pedals I can bring into the mix at any given time. I still needed this.
Do you have Mostly MN units? I sold 3 M32s for one DPO and a roland stereo filter. dont regret it.
Strymons make a lonely weak single 2 inch square wave sound huge. keep it kid.
@@severity1 damn
13 seconds in and we're already into a squonky version of Doom's Night. Yes please!
Just got this today. This gives me a lot of ideas🕺
Lol at the Alvin Lucier reference. Riley's "time lag accumulation" deserves a nod too ;)
This is like a beefed up Boss RSD-10, super nice! Those Boss's are getting harder to find so this would be a good alt. Or the 4ms DLD, but the halo and color controls on here makes it super lush.
But having both and a boss would be nice too haha!
Beaucoup modulation. Love the Underworld reference. One of my favourite tracks ever.
Nice little vest light
@@mylarmelodies got it at walmart😊
Mhhhh skyscraper i Love you
This is so sick
as you have done videos on every module included in the Tape and Microsound Music Machine i would be interested to see you do a video on the set as a whole
the intro is crazyyy
This was my only black friday purchase.
Same, along with a second DFAM and a Planar 2. Terrific deals from Perfect Circuit. I'm finna have some FUN.
Great review, as always makes me want to chase this module down. What sort of signal do you patch into the “micro jiggle” input? That was the only thing I didn’t quite understand.
Dope! 🤖can you share please where chord playing from and trough which filter ?
Yes!
ah damn, youve sold me
Oh, my god. "You could say, if you put your finger on it, then you flip it and reverse it."
Jesus, you just made me laugh out loud at 4 am. If I'd been holding my wine, I'd have spilled it all over myself.
🤓
Damn! Now I want one... ;-)
Are “jigglify” and “microjiggled” technical terms?
Make Noise approved
I understand when you say you get a kraftwerk vibe.. But honestly when I heard that reverb and delay I got a real big "Two lone swordsmen" vibe rest in peace Andrew! Long live Keith tenniswood/radioactive man
Cool beat
Got it and love it as well. Now I Hope they Will make a new stereo Reverb with the same kind of 80's lush'ness :-)
That's the Erbe Verb!
@@mylarmelodies I have it. Cool on drums, but its a little noisy and Metallic sometimes..
"There's a grill down here..." 🤣
Stereo spread with Halo as well ... ace 🖤
Fuck you TH-cam algorithm for not showing this in my feed until today!!! Great vid BTW, very inspiring.
😘
Your hand freestyle kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
SICK-ASS beat at the end.
The last tune you do is just amazing! If I sign up to patreon can you help me with my Modular set up! I’ve bought the Make Noise case and slowly working out what modules I want/need! I have already bought Maths and Plaits and currently bidding for Mimeophon. Also have 0-coast and Strega and the Moog Matriarch. I have the Pulsar 23 for drums but would also like a drum or percussion module so that at times I can just use the case. Many thanks
"It squidges their edges" - Mylarmelodies 2019
Wow! I've been looking for an interesting module like this to possibly replace clouds which I've never fully got along with. This could be the one....although every module review you post I end up chasing. 👍🏻
I did this yesterday. I tried to make Clouds work for 2 years and it just never did it for me. Had this thing for 24 hours and I literally dreamed about it last night, and thought about it all day at work. It's incredible.
That Missy Elliot reference was gold
Sounds like grat dub machine
Awesome video! Having watched your Intellijel Sealegs video, I’m kinda torn between this or sealegs. Which do you prefer?
Mimeophon for immediacy and perfectly synced delay, Sealegs for vibe and ability to sound like lots of different delays/be super sculptable. Wont be getting rid of either
@@mylarmelodies Thank you for your description but I'm still torn! I'm thinking of going the Mimeophon route though. I feel like I can't go wrong with either one.
Exactly that really. If you want simplicity then go Mimeophon, if you want a do-it-all go Sealegs (but bear in mind it’s complex to use live)
if you want esoteric side of mimeo - try firuring out the logic behind changing clock when activating Hold =/
Also some offtopic: how do you manage headroom in your setup? Do you consider it at all?
Yep, gain staging is always important - you'll note I use the 2HP Trim and the Abstract Data ADE-60 as attenuators to get the percussion in line and then submix them down.
@@mylarmelodies it significantly lowers signal/noise ratio, so I am thinking more of some env. following / compression / eq
But trimming is needed nonetheless, agree
This is really cool, but quite big and costly for a delay. What alternatives would people recommend checking out?
Mentat chronoblob 2
Or Chronoblob one if smaller size (10hp vs 12hp) is a greater need than stereo processing.
Erica Pico DSP is probably the best choice for tiny form factor delay module. 3hp. It is very limited in terms of delay times, modulation and sonic flexibilty (esp compared to Mimeophon - really not even the same league), but the sound quality is quite good. Much better than 2hp Delay, which is very metallic sounding. It also has more than just delay, it's a multi fx module with good audio quality in a tiny footprint.
@@mariorobles87 Thanks I hadn't see than one before.
I would also suggest looking at the WMD/SSF DPLR - 4HP, stereo out, very different animal to a Mimeophon or chronoblob but _super fun_.
who makes those thin braided patch cables?
Arturia! You get them with the Black Keystep/Beatstep Pros
Ace!
Just got the Tape & Microsound Music Machine, and it’s making me regret the fact that I have to sleep at least 5 hours a night to function. I’m just starting with modular, but was able to coax some of the beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard off a little acoustic guitar lick. I live in Asheville, and your 0-Coast video definitely influenced me to walk into Make Noise and get it 3 months ago, so thanks for that? (“He’s your pusher man” 🤣)
PS- saw this Marx Brothers clip and thought of the way you say “ace!”
th-cam.com/video/k5YuBRwAo0Y/w-d-xo.html
Love Asheville!! Let’s do White Duck Tacos next time I’m in town...
mylarmelodies absolutely! My treat! MN does some picnics up on the Blue Ridge in the Spring- I’ll hit you up when I find out dates
I can’t recall the vid where you recommend a paint brush for dusting, but the one I got is made in U.S. - I hope it works the same! 🤣 Pro-tip: use brush lightly while playing to adjust parameters of your patch with natural random!
cool and funny
Hi Mylar, how do you compare this to the Rainmaker?
Vastly different thing - one is a more simple delay and reverb (obviously with huge range and tricks up its sleeve). The other is basically a H3000 in Eurorack. Sort of.
mylarmelodies if you could get only one, which one would you pick and why?
@@ThreetomModular It totally depends on your musical goals and how you like to interact with things. My needs aren't necessarily the same as yours. If I pick one it's like saying that one is better, but that isn't true or fair. So if you crave live immediacy, simplicity, quick results, and more 'traditional' sounds, Mimeophon may be more quickly gratifying. But bear in mind Rainmaker loads presets and has controls to rinse live (note: Mod A, Mod B). You would spend a LOT of time learning the Rainmaker and making presets for it, but once made, it's capable of nearly anything a delay can do, plus there's a comb filter. With Mimeophon you'll pretty much have mastered it in an hour, but it doesn't do as much. If someone told me I could only have one effect forever, I'd obviously pick the Rainmaker. But Mimeophon is in my live case currently (Rainmaker is in my studio case)
@@mylarmelodies Thanks a lot for such an elaborate answer, it helps a lot :). I just sold my Magneto, and I'm trying to decide what I'll get instead. What bothered me a bit about the Magneto is that I found it wasn't that great throw modulation at and the amount of sounds you could get out of it was perhaps a bit too limited. I think both the Mimeophon and the Rainmaker should be better in that regard. I wonder if I will find the Mimeophon limited or not after a while. The random function on the Rainmaker also seems to hold a lot of potential for instant gratification, no?
Definitely. There’s no question which one is capable of the most variety - it’s a question of immediacy vs raw potential.

Name for my eurorack band or future child
Hey hey was thinking to replace my Beads as I didn't gel that much, with a mimeophon. What do u think?
As in you have Beads and are thinking of Mimeophon?
@@mylarmelodies yup
@@mylarmelodies forgot a comma. Makes a difference to the interpretation 😀
Have you noticed the noise floor of this module to be a bit excessive? This seems to be an issue for some based on what I’ve read in the forums as of late...
Listen in the vid carefully and you can hear noise - I mention it actually, but only with repeats. Eg. It’s a delay so it compounds sound, including when you feed it noisy analog signals. I don’t think it adds noise of its own, it highlights your noisy path!! And the colour knob instantly rolls off the noise if you use it slightly. I think people are barking up the wrong tree?
mylarmelodies good to know as that has been the only thing holding me back from buying this module. Thanks, as always for the stellar content! 🙂
@@Swing604 so i wonder your thoughts about the noise, did you end up getting it?
Alex having a bit TOO much fun on voiceover.
Always
Micro-jiggled!
What are you using for the drum patterns as far as triggers?
Doug Graham Euclidean Circles and Grids! If you watch the jams in the description you can see more of the system at work
Wish they had it in silver panel...
I love your hand raves. Question: is this kind of like the Rossum Panharmonium? I have to say, if they are in the same league, I like what I hear out of this much better.
Ta! Regarding the Panharmonium, not at all similar I don’t think!!! Sure someone can chip in who has one
@@mylarmelodies Yeah, from what I've researched, the Panharmonium seems to be like a packet glitch machine (among other things), whereas the Mimeophon is almost like an effects garden in stereo. Kind of like the echoplex-meets-revox of the 21st century.
I have both. They are nothing alike. Great pair, though.
What is the dry signal?
Plaits and Jove, the eternal combo!
mylarmelodies I thought so. But I never got out this sound.
it recalls the PEAK demo, kinda. it's lovely
It's worth it. Put your thang down, flip it and reverse it. (Ti esrever dna ti pilf)
wait, loopop's brother?
Hah, his older brother perhaps! 😜
jigglyfied? That should be a real word ;)
No legowelt sample this video? I'm surprised 🤣
"zingy......thingy....🧐"
My Mimeophone has very bad noise, does anyone else have this issue?
Still. Waiting. On. Salmple. Review. Still. Waiting. For. Steevio. Interview.
One of those due soon - the other will take longer, but will happen!!
mylarmelodies very excited for salample info. You touched on it w/ your latest vid but there’s not enough good resources about it for how deep it is!
jigglypuff be like: bruh
