No. Most amazingly weird pedals aren't that interesting to me. Even granular stuff doesn't light my fire. That said, this Cooper pedal has my ear.
Outward.


I LOVE the Outward v2....but am into that class of pedal in general. It isnt terribly impossible to be deliberate w the granular glitchy stuff either but it does take time and conscious experimentation to learn how to use them and take advantage of what they can do.

If you really get into one of them (esp w MIDI control) you can essentially do what they all do and they become duplicative. The variations in implementation brings out different ideas and uses. I havent dug into the MIDI w Outward yet but saw a video not too long ago using MIDI to toggle presets making some wild yet controlled sounds.
 
Next challenge.
Going Henry, Schaeffer, Oliveros on yo @$#.
Minus the mind blowing genius and million dollar studios.

Polyend Tracker: A standalone audio workstation with sampler, synthesizer and FM! - gearnews.com

Also, details just coming out about this. Looks like a cool piece of kit


Yeah, I've been following this piece on the Elektronauts forum. Very interesting. I've never used tracker software, so some of it's a bit of a head scratcher for me. I've watched Renoise and Nerdseq tutorials to see if I can find advantages to the whole tracker paradigm. Seems cool for programming detailed stuff, but not so good for live improvising. Then again, Polyend aren't releasing any real info until March 18, so I shouldn't speculate. I would expect a ton of YouTubers having 'reviews' and tutorials all at once on the 18th
 
My favorite basement genius
... Dakim....just dropped a new album....again my mind is totally blown by his sheer genius and musicality. Soooooo criminally under the radar.

You wanna make beats....sit down buddy. Listen and learn from a master.



I've watched some live sets...it's insane

yes. that's really good. calling them beats is a little short of what he's doing. he's doing much more than that, imo.
