yes. absolutely on my list. the loopop vid was informative, but the sarah-belle reid sold me foe the noise purposes.
Has anyone here ever worked with the Pearl Syncussion or any of the clones?
I've been waiting around for the Beheringer version to drop, but it doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen.
I almost pulled the trigger on the Michigan Synth Works SY-1 today, but I'm wondering if I might be happier with two of the SY0.5 modules.

Some interesting “new to me” music. It’s between Russian Circles post-rock and Red Fang and The Sword doom/sludge.
I really like PGH's wavefolders. But a lot of their products don't have patchable inputs on the folders, except:
Double Helix: I used to own one. It was haunted... or rather had lots of weird flaws/quirks, most of which made it charming and some of which were annoying but could be worked around or tolerated. I sold it when I foolishly decided I was going to replace 2/3 of my rack with an ER-301. I still miss it. But it's 28HP, and I'm not giving up my Akemie's Castle or Shapeshifter or Odessa to get one back.
Capt'n Big-O: I hate the name, the font, the panel graphics, and the wonky layout, I don't really care for what I've heard from it in demos overall and it's 16HP, still too big. (Apparently the wavefolder is almost identical to the one in Taiga though.)
West Pest: it's kind of ugly, but I have definitely loved some of what I've heard in demos. Apparently like the Taiga, the shapes are warped a bit to complement the folder, and it's effective. It's cheap and has a Strega-like form factor, and I've been tempted before. The folder has an external input *and* has resonance, which is a bit unusual and cool. There's a third-party company planning to release an overlay for it to make it less ugly, and I've seen people who've made their own. I have black gaffer tape if it comes to that...

i must be misunderstanding the demos and the manual i just glanced at.
to me, it seems that you can hit both the waveform (what they call "seed") *and* the wavefolder with cv control.
from the manual (and i saw people using one osc to modulate another’s wavefolder, i though)
6.10 Oscillator Input Jacks:
[Osc Pitch Input Jack] 1 volt per octave pitch input jack.
[Osc FM Input Jack] Frequency modulation input jack. The [Osc FM Input Jack] is normaled to the LFO Triangle wave output. Plugging a patch cable into the [Osc FM Input Jack] will remove the LFO from the signal path.
[Osc Sync Input Jack] Hard sync input jack.
[Osc Shape CV Input Jack] Shape control CV input jack. The [Osc Shape CV Input Jack] is normaled to the LFO Triangle wave output. Plugging a patch cable into the [Osc Shape CV Input Jack] will remove the LFO from the signal path.
I mean running external audio sources through the folder, not controlling the folder with CV.
Posting for the first 50 seconds of ambient playing.
(and because the rest is fantastic. can't wait to hear the full album)

This just dropped recently.

Saw the announcement today. Is this a reference to Clouds by Mutable Instruments and granular reverb? I say that as a new owner of a unit that has Clouds as part of its feature set.... (editorial opinions held for now)
I believe the name is unrelated. I also don’t know for certain.
In a way I'm disappointed - I thought I was ahead of the curve by a week or so! But I have enough other stuff on my plate (musical and otherwise) that I'll take my conspiracy theory off the table...
No apology necessary! Actually, I should apologize for insinuating anything. I appreciate Strymon, I have a blueSky.
My appreciation of reverb has certainly deepened in part due to the knowledge here in this thread (and in that other one). I need to experiment with the Clouds in the Grone, but other stuff requires my attention first...
his full quote was (had to get his go-ahead to use it):
It is not related. It grew from an algorithm called Cloud that was originally created for Strymon’s BigSky reverb pedal.
