Thank you MG & Jimbo, I have been holding off purchasing a controller ever since I got my Xenograph Deluxe, not incredibly long, about 2 runs ago. But long enough considering what it will open up. I want to get this right and the expression range knob on the latest Iron Ether creations/iterations widens the field nicely. My first inclination is, although pricy, the Dunlop Mini. solid and concise. But given the I.E. pedals that I own, plan to own or would like to try, some of which that include remote expression control, it makes sense to wait and see.
Which brings me to the next element to consider, digital or digitally controlled pedals. I am into no way an analog purest, but I know my inclinations, and if something feels like a chore it won’t get done. However the integration of digital elements into a pedal to automate functions is probably under my nose anyway and my needs are basic compared to a lot of folks here.
Add to that I’m still working with the C4 synth and for me I think it will serve me best in an “Oscillator With benefits” role, but that just me. Especially if I can find “Source Audio’s free library of bonus effect algorithms”. How to find??? Using the C4 I got a terrific sound running a very robotic OC2 thing thru the DOOM2 into the Xenograph! Love my XD. Kinda still looking for the right fuzz for me tho. It’s things like a C4, while 6 settings are fine with me, that need consideration. I just don’t think I need to go down that path to far.
Getting with the Boughton crew is a great idea MG, I have something kinda rare that those peeps might be into, something that my I.E. stuff does more to my liking.
