I feel like that video does the MXR dirty a little... as a pedal it does need a little practice to 'show' it the information it needs to generate the synth lines. The more I experiment the happier I'm getting, and whilst i still love my Moog, I'd have the MXR over a Novation BS any day already, and will leave the Moog at home now more than I would have!

 

Had a fun little dep at the weekend...

 

 

Sounds great Paddy! Lovely Sandberg too 👌

Damn, that sounds good! Nicely played & classy band!

A live clip like that is worth a thousand words, and puts to bed any lingering doubts for me at least!

 

The one thing i miss from playing this on the Moog is the little pushes of the mod wheel on sustained notes. I haven't yet experimented with the expression pedal but i bet there's a way to do it, or something external that can get close.

What kind of things do you normally assign to the mod wheel on your Moog? Expression on the MXR allows you to morph most settings between two values (with interpolation).

@Quatschmacher usually it's a bit of a pitch wobble, but i'd imagine pushing the modulation on this would probably have a similar effect. I will report back!

But the MXR sounded plenty good enough for a live band mix to me?

That was my take from it too! @knicknack's video also sounds great.

Yes, you should just be able to attach an expression pedal and adjust the mod depth at the toe-down position, perhaps opening the cutoff a small amount too and that should get you there.

depending on the pitch detection can you do that with your left hand? 

[knicknack]

@LukeFRC that's what i'd normally do with an OC-2 or similar, but figured there's no way this would track that so never tried. Whaddaya know.... it does!
