Quatschmacher Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) That didn’t last long Andy! I’ve been meaning to check in and see how you’d been getting along with it. Edited September 27, 2018 by Quatschmacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_bass Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Any trades / part-ex’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Well, yes matey you are right and sorry for not getting back as I did say I would. My take on this is as follows: Excellent sounds, phat analogue, lots of variation for textures etc Downside is there are no presets and in practical terms I have found this really difficult on gigs. The control adjustments offer real fine tuning but the problem here is that on a gig on the fly it's difficult to get them just right. Hopefully the P2 or P1++ will have some presets! Real estate on the board is also an issue but tbh I could have lived with this if I could get on better for live. I've not yet tried it linked through CV to other units. Overall there are some other things that I could use the cash for hence moving it on. If this were not an issue I would keep the squaver separate and take a different approach to the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 By the way there is a typo on the price - it should be 450. This is about 150 off the list so whilst not cheap hopefully still a fair deal. And yes, trades are always an option although cash is king right now (as there is nothing I'm really after right now). I would take an Audi R8 in black depending on the mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it could be improved with built-in triggered ADS(R) envelopes in addition to the envelope follower. I wish I’d tried this with a Minitaur. One could use the gate out to trigger the envelopes and the pitch CV for the oscillators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 That’s a great price too and about what I paid for the discounted first version I bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - ADSR would give some more options but I found that the sweep of envelope options as actually pretty darn usable. There wasn't much I couldn't find, problem comes back to the fact that once you need to change it you are down to fine tuning and on a gig it just doesn't work so well for me. If I had the budget and a roadie to schlep all the gear about I would love to try it with a subphatty. The is some maths for this I believe; (Bass+Squaver+Subphatty)^n=sick. n = talent btw! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Or save for the Midibass and use it with a Minitaur - portable, phat, 128 presets selectable directly from the bass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post some later, but most bits you can see. Around the edge is an ehx freeze, digitech ricochet, Tc nova repeater, oc2 and a t16. All runs through a boss es5, source audio reflex and the expressionator that you can see. Power from a strymon which is awesomely noise free, even with naughty moogs. It'll change soon for the reasons I described. The squaver will come off and be replaced by an ie xerograph deluxe, ie subterranea and a zvex mastotron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to source one from Australia in the end. Am I going backwards here? Perhaps but what's very clear to me is that it has to work well in a live setting and my playing is currently in a place where I need what I need so to speak. A few different pedals for different voices that I can control on the fly. Funnily enough though I'm also using a Mobius and an ES5 for patch changes, not exactly simples but it just seems to work somehow. Anyway - why is this still here? There must be some mad scientists out there who want to destroy the internal organs of their audience with some synth goodness.....? Hit me up!
