At long last:
Which means I have four (!!) Xerograph Deluxes now lol:
Time to sell one or maybe two.
Taylor's painted versions are truly something special:
And I’m over here waiting for my first one like a sucker….
Naw, you are anything but a sucker
Buying an XD is a smart decision. In four and a half months you will experience synthy goodness like never before.
Naw, you are anything but a sucker
Scored one, too. And really looking forward to pairing it with the SubT. Next year when it arrives
This is the way. It will revolutionize how your SubT sounds. Taylor has posted about how they complement one another and are designed to work together.And really looking forward to pairing it with the SubT. Next year when it arrives
Found a painted xerograph to add to the ie/b board. dreams do come true at TB. thank you TB and Mr. @Swizzledoop.
Surprised no one has mentioned getting shipping notification for Frantabits yet. Usually I'm late to the party. ha ha I can't be the only one who ordered one, can I?
I got the email and admit to having a moment of "Wait, I didn't order anything" before realizing it was for the FBit.

Dream board right here. Those PLLs sold out SO FAST. I didn’t even have a chance. Killer setup!

Got mine today as well. Super stoked to check it out! I’ve only had a chance to go through the recommended settings on the FMeron. Going to set aside some time when the Frantabit shows up to really dive into these.
@gruvit I'm excited to hear how you like them! The FMeron especially, since I've also been diving deeply into mine recently. I'm kind of surprised how quickly the FM has become an indispensable part of my synth tones. The SubT (plus drive, filter, reverb, mod etc.) is one very distinct voice, the FM quite another, and I find myself resisting the urge to start throwing lots of other effects on top of it since the character/timbre of the notes is already so rich and complex. It started with a couple specific tonal goals in mind, and now that those have been achieved, I'm just diving in and exploring what sounds I can coax out from turning the knobs.
I wasn't 100% convinced when I pre-ordered that it'd be something I'd be keeping on my board long term, but I sure am now!

Likewise, I had a "what did I order this time" moment as well!!Surprised no one has mentioned getting shipping notification for Frantabits yet. Usually I'm late to the party. ha ha I can't be the only one who ordered one, can I?

I love the FMeron. Gonna use it live tonight. There's basically two sounds I've found that work for me, and all I do is change the sweep of the attack, so it's easy to adjust on the fly.
Nice! Have a great time tonight. It's kinda the same for me; I just find myself adjusting the sweep (and, very occasionally, the Envelope Depth), and I get so many useable gradients of synth tones. What kind of music are you playing tonight?
@davelowell2 Here's a pic of how I (mostly) set mine. Although raise the Synth Volume to about 3 o'clock, and lower the Envelope Depth to about 11 o'clock. This is my "Minimoog" sound. Go to the longest Decay setting, and lower the ED to about 10 o'clock, and it's pretty good for Roygbiv by Boards of Canada (Roland SH-101 IIRC). I like maxing out the Attack as well, to get a super slow sweep, which gets used in ambient sections, and/or spacey intros, with nice long notes. Or with faster playing, you get a nice, dubby envelope filter tone.
FMeron is the only IE pedal I've bought multiples of. If anyone is wondering sortof what a Broughton Signal Cypher does, the FMeron is pretty close
Does anyone here have an Oxide (with top jacks) or a Dubterranea available for trade or purchase? Please message me if you do. Thanks!
Here's how I used it last night (bottom center). I'll also turn the attack to about 9:00 and leave everything else the same.
Thanks! It was a blast. I play in a Grateful Dead cover band, but we don't try too hard to improvise like the Dead did, we can get kinda weird and synthy. I can post some video later on.
Here's the video from our show the other night. At the timestamp (during the Let it Grow jam) I start using the FMeron, with the settings I posted above. I think the Divaricator > Accountant might be on too.
