Paul has said he may return, but right now he is taking some family time away from Frostwave.

He may have a couple of pieces left in stock now - checking can't hurt.

What were you using for side-chaining? Just hardware? For DAW plugs it has been McDSP CompressorBank and Waves C1. For hardware it has been engine "A" of an Eventide H8000FW doing the sub-ms slip-slide delay and filtering of the audio with engine "B" doing the compression. I am a big fan of non-rea...

Dupe and time-shift your trigger track or the resulting audio track to make it line up in time regardless of the latency?

I have had good success by sliding the trigger track for a sidechain comp back and forth to get different "thump" tones.

I think the MnM is still in the process of sneaking up on me...I have yet to really process it through external FX, and I suspect that will add a smile to a sunny day. It can bring the sound to places the MnM could never go, especially as it concerns analog dirt and modulations. Very much recommend...

Bass can sound good to me right from the source, but it never sounds great until it has some EQ and dynamics processing.

Often the compressor doesn't really change overall dynamic range - it is there more for the color it brings and the change it imparts to the attack envelope.

In order of use - I hardly use the E-mu for clock anymore:

1. My Mac
2. Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1UW
3. Elektron Monomachine SFX-6
4. E-mu XL-7

I have used a Yamaha QX3 a couple of times, but I was just pretending it was the 80s again.

An algorithmic MIDI sequencer, please!

Although it's served well, I think I've outgrown my microKORG's vocoder. I'm trying to get some of those gutteral, skwonky sounds, and I imagine that I need an analog or at least a dedicated vocoder. I thought JoMoX made one, but there's no info in that section on this site. Does anyone have some s...

The insert path is looking for a line-level effect. The EHX Small Stone is not line-level - it is instrument-level - that is why the signal seems so soft. Fix your level and impedance issues, and you are good to go. You need to reamp on the way out to the pedal, and then use an active DI or DI plus ...

analog filters I have used and loved: Schippmann Ebbe und Flut Frostwave Resonator analog pedals that filter, but aren't just "filters": Geoffrey Teese Real McCoy Picture Wah Lovetone Meatball Moog MF-105 / Moog MF-105b synths that have awesome filtering capability via their inputs: Clavia Nord Mod...

Sadly, it is no longer in production. As is the case with all the Frostwave products.

Carey:

A quick question for you: What Line6 product(s) have you used, and why your dislike for them now?


thanks,
Ian

Am I correct in understanding, that the "short" setting offers clearer, brighter repeats than BBD delays usually do? That is how some of the demos sound, sort-of more tapelike sound, but you can't always be sure. At the short end, my Moog SuperDelay is fairly bright and crisp for a BBD delay. That ...

I'm done with rack-fx. I tried a few, I sold them all. I need knobs! Symetrix 606 is an awesome-sounding rack delay with knobs, dual-engines, and resonant, multimode filters. :wink: So, I'm looking for an analog (or analog-ish) delay pedal. I'll mainly be using it inline with my MidiMini, maybe occ...

I did, and I am pleased. I drive a Roland SH-2, Schippmann Ebbe und Flut, and a few MoogerFoogers with it.
