Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

the announcement event wasn’t great for showing off what it could do.
this link, however, impressed me more:
I got some Fralin 5% overwounds for my fretless since it’s practically all I play these days.
I deserve it I hope after all that woodshed time.
a lot of potential to my mind.
samples or the module?
imo yes on both for sure.
some sounds in that demo are freakin awesome
You would think by now I would, right?
Sadly, I mostly feel like I haven't spent enough quality time with any of them.
And while I usually feel that this is a good place to be with any pedal -- I have go-to sounds in all of them that I know how to access immediately -- with that particular trio it just feels like as soon as I gravitate to my go-to sounds, that means I'm not exploring their capabilities fully.
A month or so ago I wired them all up in a new configuration: a Montreal Assembly Count To 5, Chase Bliss Habit, and Chase Bliss MOOD (in series, in that order) are in one loop of the VFE Klein Bottle. The Chase Bliss Blooper is in a separate loop, and the Soma COSMOS is in a third loop. So it's easy -- and quite fruitful -- to create moving textures that then get passed along from loop #1 to #2 or to #3 (and/or to any/all possible combinations thereof) to allow for further modification/evolution. But I still feel like I haven't explored all the potential of just that first serial chain of Ct5>Habit>MOOD...or even confirmed that that's the best order to have them in.
In short: Not enough time in the day.
thanks for sharing, feel free to give us any updates or lightbulb moments you might have.
i for one am definitely interested in your progress
Are all three stereo capable pedals?
Actually no, none of those CBA pedals are stereo.
But the Soma COSMOS is.
I've had half a mind lately to put together a solo guitar act that relies heavily on looping delays, and I've started sketching out a stereo rig using just gear I already own that I might use for that. First I need to develop the material more. But for bass I'm a pretty dyed-in-the-wool mono man.
I was asking for my sound manipulation set up with my sampler not my bass rig. Mono pedals can work sometimes but I have to put them in the AUX fx loop of my mixer.
that project of yours seems really interesting, guitar (not bass guitar right?) and loops only set up?
Always very impressed by players that use loopers live, I can barely make one ditto work without going of the tracks.
Guess Ive never put the in time is the main reason,
a lot of the red panda stuff is stereo, but i think you know that.
Already have the tensor as a mainstay and I have the v1 particle. It isn’t stereo but I don’t think I want to buy the v2 just for that feature alone.
Raster 2 ans Context 2 seem underwhelming, correct my if I’m mistaken. (Don’t forget that I’m often wrong
)
Somebody remembered that the HX Effects has a looper...

Yes, normal [sic] 6-string electric guitar*. I've actually been playing guitar just slightly longer than I've been playing bass, though I stopped playing it regularly/professionally over 40 years ago, and now I just do the very infrequent studio session or casual gig on it. I usually tell people that my skills as a guitarist are "just good enough to be dangerous...mostly to my own reputation."
*if this project goes as planned I'll be using my ancient Roland GR-300 guitar synthesizer, that wacky blue box made popular by Pat Metheny, Andy Summers, Robert Fripp et al circa 1980. That oughtta make the results decidedly swampy. But yes, just guitar and a ton of looping delays.
Lest anyone think I would be crafting super-tight song arrangements on-the-fly, metric and metronomic, one layer at a time, like so many Solo Musician With Looper acts seem to... eff that. My whole attraction to looping delays is due to their ability to creat chaos when they are used asynchronously. "Going off the tracks" is often the goal!

Some good fundamental sound design ideas. Also makes Pigments look like a fun soft synth.
WMD has fallen victim to the chip shortage and other economic woes, and will be shutting down at the end of 2022.
Important factory news and new products announcement!
They also have 3 new modules that were in development and they're selling in limited quantities. I'm intrigued by that Legion VCO but I'd want to hear a demo before buying. Of course this is probably the sort of thing one could resell at a profit and that's probably what's going to happen to a lot of these modules...
