Woot! FrantaBits are heading to their new homes (including mine :))!

Curious to the current owners of them - a big interest in getting one for me is the exp control, mostly to bring in the effects mix with an expression pedal. If I'm reading the manual right, for this would the Mix knob be set at minimum (counter clockwise) and setting the Exp limiter to taste? or is it reverse where dry mix is clockwise?

Oooooo this sounds fun! Is this something like using a TWA Side Step?
My expression pedal can push 3 expression signals with LFOs. I'm controlling the XD and Chromatron right now, but Id like to remove it from the XD and add the last two onto the incoming frantabit and in the future Arcing Prisms. XD exp isn't too exciting. I have a Source Audios Reflex, you can select a number of LFOs to push, the rocking of the pedal increases the rate

There are other pieces like the "expressionator" by mission engineer that is basically a controller, just add you favorite pedal

Pedal Brainz has some interesting small form factor expression controllers coming out soon to.

Old Blood Noise Endeavors has the Expression Ramper, as well as Slider that are pretty cool too.

SA Reflex is pretty hard to beat at the end of the day though!
Source Audio released some info about another reflex, but I think it's more like the expressionator - no pedal, controller only
 
Yep, I'm still eagerly awaiting any more updates, details, or info on that.

LOVE the Reflex, it was crazy ahead of its time, and nothing else like it to this day.
Eagerly waiting too for this Reflex v2. Been using a Copilot FX Broadband for the same purpose with a Moog EP-3. Works well but takes pedalboard real estate.

So, with my rotary switched to S OR +, the pedal makes not a single noise, no matter where the settings are, expression plugged in or not. @Taylor Livingston what am I doing wrong? Im leaning toward nothing
