News on Chunk Systems Bass Synth

[bassbmx]

Awesome! Of course that sucks, because I want it even more now.

Haha I'm really happy and kind of pissed off at the same time too. It'll be about NZ$800 for me to get this thing but from what I've heard on their site so far, it looks like it'll be worth it.

so joe/when u take the plunge. please bring it up to auckland as well =p

Of course bro! Would be wrong not to

^^^
the chunk stuff is all made in surrey hills in sydney, cant be that much more expensive. just ship it from aus. instead of the us.

 

[bassbmx]

Doesn't always work like that unfortunately. I really do hope it's no more expensive to get it from somewhere in Aus.

Update on chunk systems website, they've posted a diagram showing the signal flow for the pedal.

GAS maintained....

Edit: My head is melting. This thing's got a lot of options it seems. Oh and it confirms that the the octave function will include 2 octaves down and a 5th up as well as the previously advertised functions.

For god's sake will people stop bumping this thread. Now I want one again.

Has anyone bought one yet? Who's our guinea pig?

 

[Jazz Ad]

This looks better and better. I predict hours of tweaking on this beast.

 

[Max Roberts]

Right, I'm seriously thinking of getting this thing soon... could be in the next month or so...

 

[dannybuoy]

If it had an expression pedal input to control the filter then I'd have to lay down some wedge also. So instead I'm waiting on the Photron filter!

 

[kevteop]

Main reason I like the look of this is the portability - would be nice to take along to places where I'm not sure if my board's going to be needed or not. I mean, it's tiny, and you've got octave, filter, waveforms, fuzz, modulation, even a sodding tuner. You can turn up to meet a bunch of musos you don't know, and they'll have no idea what a fat bunch of effects you've brought with you until it's too late.

It's taking all my reserves of strength not to buy one.

 

[bkbirge]

Being all digitally controlled, they should offer an expression input that can be mapped to any parameter of our choice in any patch.

 

[Jazz Ad]

I use the expression pedal a lot, I can't say I ever needed or missed it for synth tones.
Not really useful IMHO.

 

[Guest043]

i almost wish i never bought a G5, so it would be reasonable for me to buy this..both on the same board..i dont think thats even legal here in the states?

 

[arbitrary]

I'm really damn curious how good the tuner is. That might allow me to free up some space to actually get this pedal.

I use one a ton for my keyboard synth and midi bass stuff. It would be nice to have control over filter cutoff, resonance, ADSR, noise mix, blend, pitch glide tracking, etc.

 

[bassbmx]

An expression pedal would be so good. I couldn't see using the metronome-out function. I love the idea of being able to control any of the parameters vie exp. pedal.

Seriously though with everything this pedal Does have who really cares if the one thing it doesn't have is an expression pedal.......

i wouldent want one anyway. itd be cool to have an output for one so its possible for those who want it, but i dont think itd really be necesary for bass synth stuff..and besides, that would ruin its small size, wich is a huge plus of this pedal.

These guys surely know how to build a hype and make us expecting.
The features it packs look pretty amazing, pretty much the same as your average analog synth keyboard.
I wonder how many waveforms it can produce.
Let's hope it's not a wet firecracker. Tracking is my main worry.
