Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

if you can get beyond the hand model thing, which is not super unusual in that world, i think he actually does very good feature explanations/explorations.

I'll try again, Steubig, but there's also that off-kilter speech delivery to contend with.
What's unusual is I don't usually let things like that bother me.

It's an Israeli accent.
He does some of the most thorough demo vids out there, so you're missing out on a lot if you get hung up on hands and such.
Am I wrong thinking that this pedal does most of the work for you??
Sort of “idiot proof”.....???
Just my impression from the vid, I could definitely be wrong here.
But the guy just noodles randomly and turns it into some ambient pad in secs.
But, I definitely sounds very good, nice thick textures. Hey, I can use an easy button once in a while
Opinions on this matter?

HK, like Internet demos, is a potpourri of accents, none bother me. It's something to do with the speeding up and slowing down... My cat's vet mumbles with a Dutch accent, very difficult to understand but a funny guy. One of my MTB mates is a Yorkie who doesn't mumble, but it's still easier to understand my vet if I haven't seen my buddy in a while.
It's definitely not the accent.
I'll suppress whatever it is that's grating me and check out the demos.
Perhaps. I see it as a pedal that does the things my other pedals can't do, in an original way. If I wanted everything to be a labor, I'd already have a modular system.Am I wrong thinking that this pedal does most of the work for you??

I think it does it in a way that does require understanding of how they all work together, it's not as idiot proof as it may seem.
I agree and yet again failed to express my thoughts coherently.
Maybe I should have said, with prior knowledge and experience with loopers and pedals this unit seems fairly easy and forgiving to creat textural audio sounds.
And yes, I agree 100%, easy simple is GOOD!!!!!
but not DAW auto correct snap to grid crap.....quantize everything. (I freakin LOATH that. )
Better expressed and written??
The sound I wish I could get was from my dad's house years ago. His shower, when you turned off the water, would get air trapped in the pipes and nozzle hose and for 20 minutes it made the coolest flying saucer sound I've ever heard. At the time I didn't have the right equipment to record it properly, and the house has since been sold off, so that was that. But I keep searching for that one sound again.
Yes, but I'm more about the end result than the method, I think a lot of creativity goes into making these sounds, and it does a lot more than you suspect it does. Also cool for if I just wanna take a small synth and this somewhere and not deal with the board.
I inquired about a pre-order, as to whether or not it needs to be paid in full. If it doesn't I think I'll get it.
Oh, yeah this one definitely has my interest.
I already brainstormed a Bass, that pedal, SP combo.
Please gimme a heads up for the price of it and pre order details.
As I previously mentioned I think the sounds are awesome. The internal recycling of the loop while changing settings and algorithms without interruption of the audio is genius.
Ok, now I really want it.......damn you @lordradish
Edit: estimated retail price is 480 euros atm.

my thing with a lot of demo vids is that they’re mostly uninteresting in terms of musical content (for me), but i try to “read between the lines” to imagine what i might be able to do with them.
some tell me i might get something good; most tell me it’s not gonna be my thing.
the loopop vids on the roland tr-8s and mc-707 were really useful in helping show me which one *might* be better. strangely, the roland tutorial vids helped completely solidify (and his hand thing is also annoying).
watch a politician talk or certain tv ads. the hand thing is weird.

To preorder just email them. When your turn comes they will email asking for payment. You are under no obligation to buy.
480 euro, is without shipping and duties.
So over 1000$ cad easy. I don’t have the funds atm.
But some of you will so Ill get some hands on reviews.
hehe
Nice textures, sounds like tape manipulation music at times, definitely my kind of music lately.
Nice “grit” on the overall sound, screeching muffed bow attacks, scratching etc.
Very tasteful use of delays and Reverbs. Very good layering.
I dig it. Very good.
Thanks for the share.
Very inspiring, I’m working towards that kind of vibe. But still needs a lot of work on my end. (Sort of using my SP as a multi track\head tape machine with my Tensor. Recorded lots of stuff, still not on point.)
I still need to “get” how to make each tape track evolve and flow along with the entire piece.

I think you’re right that this can be a pad-in-a-box. But I think some of the controls will allow for much more controlled development/disintegration of the pad. And the replace and erase functions should allow for rhythms, at least until they get decimated. And you still need to put stuff into it. I could set something like this up in Live, but would have to keep dozens of parameters in mind. I’ve done it before. It gets maddening figuring out which thinks should be mapped to what control. He did it for me and then hid the ones I don’t want to think about.
Here is a pic of her live set up I just found listening to one of her live performances.
