Looks good, I want one!

 

This seems more innovative and interesting than any pedal announced by the big companies at NAMM.

 

Triggering recorded samples I think being unique for a guitar/bass pitch tracking pedal?

 

I'm also interested in using it as a synth midi controlled by a keyboard, my keyboard is piano and organ type stuff and limited synth stuff (basically samples) so plugging this in could really expand that. I know the FI can do that, but this seems to have more hands on editing and the screen.

 

I'm guessing it'll not be cheap, something like £500?

That was an idea I’d had for one of the remaining FI4 apps but it’s not likely to happen now due to another issue.

If it comes in at £500 or less, although definitely not cheap, that actually doesn't seem like bad value for such innovative and cutting edge tech? And you can pay significantly more for some old-school analogue preamps or Eventide pedals. 

 

Be interesting to see how this stacks up against the Polyend Mess that @Kiwi recently got (currently £519 with Andertons) and also looks excellent.

Nice, I hadn't seen the polyend mess, but that looks good too. And there's the Meris Enzo X (currently £539 at Andertons). No sample triggering with either of them though.

 

The Meris and Quimera include a tuner (not sure if the Polyend does) and some more normal effects so perhaps could be used as a stand-alone multi fx pedal?....and a decent bass triggered synth, and a midi controlled keyboard synth.

 

£500 is a lot, but if it is a decent multi fx, bass synth, midi synth,  equivalent to things that are about £200 each then I could convince myself when things like the MXR Bass synth, C4, FI alone are about £250, and a lot of the relatively budget multi fx are about £250.

Sadly, the Meris Enzo X has had a lot of bad press about its poor tracking, and not on my shortlist on that basis.

 

I  personally wouldn't want to use any of them as a standalone multifx eg for clean preamp or drive. But for synth, and also for filter and modulation/pitch shift, for sure!
