I'm a huge ATCQ fan boy, so hearing Ali speak in a long interview was crazy cool for me.
He's one bada$$ baasplayer also. He backs up the legendary Rakim during his tiny desk show.

He seems like such a nice guy.
Really authentic. I dig his fearless creativity.
You've met him?
I started at Berklee when he was about to leave. Many people were talking about him then. Didn't get to meet him until last year. He walked through where I worked a day job in Brooklyn. Super kind and genuine. I respect him a lot.
Holy cow!
Clever idea for an expression pedal utility, which also covers some CV ground.
Invalid Link Removed
Connect one expression pedal with up to three expression enabled effects and control them individually or simultaneously.
Expressionator is a digital device that samples the input from a regular expression pedal, digitally manipulates it, stores it, and then converts the signal back to three analog outputs either via digital potentiometer or CV.
Unlike an analog splitter, Expressionator stores the pedal position on each channel, holding an effect in one position, while you switch to another function. For example you could set volume control to 50% and Expressionator will hold it there while you switch your expression pedal away to control wah. When you are done, you can switch back to take over volume control again.
Each channel is individually programmable so you can set independent start, stop positions and tapers for each effect. No need to have different expression pedals for different effects. Expressionator can also be set to control multiple devices at once, so you could decrease reverb mix, increase delay repeats, and increase gain at the same time from one pedal.

Perfect Circuit got me.
Not surprised if the Expressionator has been, but it’s new to me.

You couldn't afford not to buy it.
Have fun!
*Slaps roof of car* This bad boy can fit so much ambient in it!
This group seems into some cool stuff...anyone here ever check out Mick Goodrick's Almanac of Guitar Voiceleading? I'm revisiting one of them and always forget the perfect genius of them. Each little exercise is a mountain of information.
Nope, never heard of it.
Screen shot of an exercise???
Damn, reminds me a lot of my classical voice leading I did in school.
We did Bach chorals for hours on end. 2 first chords, now voice the next 3 pages and incorporate modulations.
(Without the dang stupid Roman numeral system that made zero sense and is 100 of years outdated....sorry.....I hated it with a passion. Was taught only so the old farts would keep there teaching jobs.)
The chordal movements here are much more “interesting” and varied.
No parallel 5th to 8ve my @$$. Debussy made it work.
Very cool exercises, I like the arrows pointing exactly where the note is voiced next. Very simple and efficient.
One question, what is the MSRP at the bottom?
C-D-D-Eb- Eb....??? And B -Ab - C -B D....????
And the 1) exercise at the bottom.
How do you practice it?

Wait. Are we talking about practicing in the purchasing forum again?
The notes at the bottom is the bass movement of the chords spelled out above
