Spent a couple of hours this arvo with this little weirdo. Rather enjoyable.

Maybe.

I did another improv track. Full disclosure; there's no bass or other real instrument on it. Signal chain was MoogerFooger MF-101(self oscillating)>Boss OC-2>Boss LS-2 with Little Bear BS1 in loop>Boss PS-3>Boss RV-3>Roland RE-201 Spaceecho(real 70's tape machine)>recording interface+laptop.

Thats a fun little box. Been getting to know mine more lately. Ive been very focused on the Bakfram and Taken though...usually get something weird w Fabrikat and then feed it into the delays and get into playing the oscillations which is super atmospheric

Heres my new working tabletop setup

It’s going to take a while to work through it thoroughly for sure. It was still making sounds after I unplugged the bass, so I spent a little time perpetuating the noise with the loop/feedback knobs. New stuff to me.

BTW, your image didn’t work for some reason, could you repost it?

It's a combination of reverb (albeit dialed down so it's more of an asymmetrical/arrhythmic cluster of delays) plus alternating the looping side between Env mode (for very subtle cloud regeneration) and Tape mode (for 8va swirling bee swarms). Really handy for turning chords into hazy ambient washes that evolve subtly without sounding too abnormal.

any chance of a sound sample and/or pics of settings? always curious about getting new sounds out of my Mood

maybe I'll record some snippets on my iPhone.

Forget the floor, you need a table and someone else to play your bass while you tweak those things.

Must be a regional thing, all I’m seeing is square brackets and the abbreviation IMG.


Others can see it I assume? Just curious.

damnit. This ain’t making a Mood any easier. I feel a hydrasynth and a Mood in my future. Already put some trade feelers out for a mood on another site.

You need to work on your negotiation skills. The next step should have been 'ONE Blooper and TWO MOOD's' or 'TWO Bloopers and ONE MOOD'!

Don't get me started: I have a mint Akai S2000 sitting in my studio that I've been trying to sell for ten years...I cannot give that thing away!
