Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Played with my neighbors Afterneath and Empress Superdelay. Love that Afterneath so much, is a very appropriate piece of kit for this thread. The Superdelay reinforced what I'm going with in delay-ville: going as simple as I can and getting a TC Flashback 2 Mini. The delay rabbit hole looks like it goes deep so I'm cutting bait and keeping it simple. Had similar success dumping all my dirt into an SA Aftershock. Simple rules.

btw, this is might keep you in the sa universe

never saw that noodlebox SEQ bevore ! Nice !

not so much a 1010 fan......well somehow i am, and somehow not.

I´d never buy anything that is fresh on the market from them ! be aware.
i´d wait, until they iron out the kinks....which are to be expected, imho.
for my taste: to expensive these boxes. (ok, its a small scale maker)

btw. someone was mentioning the noise engineering modular reverb or delay.

do you own it or just saw it?

A buddy of mine has the reverb and I’ve been pondering the granular one. They sound awfully nice and have a lot of modulation options for not too much HP. Bonus is you can swap out firmware so any Versio module can be whichever you want the Versio lineup.

Ive got no issues with 1010, but I’ve never owned one of their products either. Listening to the ‘Fireball’ just reminded me of how much I love the Waldorf M and listening to the Lemondrop just reminds me of how much I love the Tasty Chips GR-1. The Lemondrop could be potentially cool for live bass looping stuff though. For me, they’re just spendy enough that I don’t feel much interest

i have the bitbox mkI......bought late, so i was ok with it, and knew what i get.
and i have the blackbox, ....darn, i should use it again, ...oh well :laugh:

need to watch the videos later. had no time so far.
Yeah, i´d like me a Waldorf M too. Its tempting....but i won´t do it.

i'm pretty impressed with the stuff i've heard from 5 of the 7; the auto-wah and clocked verb firmware don't seem useful in my world.

i do like the idea of being able to run a few of them into each other . . .

it's only money . . . right?

I've been quite happy with my 1010 Bluebox. It's not brand new, and it has limitations, but I am just using it as a standalone mixer and baseline multitrack recorder. It does everything it says it does and the interface works well.

Neither the Lemon Drop nor the other one really get me excited. It seems to do a bit less than some granular apps on my iPad. But there is always the appeal of hardware--sometimes things just randomly stop working on my iPad because of a software update, which is a drag.

@Funky40 sometimes I look at the Blackbox as a simpler alternative to my Octatrack, but then I think "can't I just do all that on Koala on my iPad?" Not exactly, but still.

I wish they made some sort of hardware “thingy” with koala as the firmware .
I hate it’s workflow on iPad plus they need to double the fix list

my 2 cents

I do wish there was less of a workaround for printing effects, etc. Why can't I just put an AUv3 on a pad? But Beatmaker sucks. Samplr is cool but limited to its concept.
