Ok - well I guess this is a case of good news / bad news.

Good news - Reverb dude accepted the offer of $200 with free shipping for his Count to Five. So I scored that. And that means that @DirtyDuke can have my place on the pre-order list for the new batch (if he wants it)

Bad news - email from CME - my order shipped, was returned to CME because the package was SOAKING WET. None of the three units inside work. The delay was the last they had in stock. SO I am f*cked. 20% or not, all I really wanted was a Moog Delay. And well....TOUGH LUCK...

Ah man!!! That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Did you ever get that AD593726? I just read your thread compairing delays again lol.

I got the AD4096 twice over, LOL. It has a similar feature for trails like the Kilobyte. The only reason I didn't get the Kilobyte was I wanted to go analog and wait for No Memory for digital and luckily I got one so I never explored the Kilobyte first hand.

@DirtyDuke had one I think. Moog sells them, I tried one a few times, very nice sounding. Never got one because I used to think it was too expensive LOL. :)

@IngloriousOz had/has an AD4096. All the demos I have ever heard of it was amazing. I could never get it dialed in to justify the price. Sold it to help fund the No Memory and the reason I bought it the second time was I thought maybe I just didn't spend enough time with it but it just didn't fit my style.

But I think @MightyMiloQuinn either had or researched the Kilobyte a ton if you want to get his opinion.

EDIT: I see now he originally suggested it to you a few pages ago.
 
So the H9 is just ridiculously powerful. Rather shockingly so.

The problem I am having with it is the same that @nshuman had. Rather than sitting down and coming up with a highly useable phaser or filter or chorus, I spend my time coming up with the weirdest, wackiest, most out there sounds that I can humanely come up with.

I need to get more practical with it for sure!
 
I want the red Kilobyte.

I pictured you as the 8 Bit version type of guy.

Told you man. It's like the people who designed the algorithms did it on purpose.

"Ok Jim, I'm done, this is the perfect completely usable pitch shifting algorithm we could produce, people will be able to dial in anything with that."
"Perfect, add delay and/or fuzz to it to make sure we F with them and they are stuck in a rabbit hole forever!"

Man - I keep on thinking we are all rocking HUGE boards.

And then I see a Moog Modular Synth.... and I feel very inadequate. But size doesn't matter right...?

There was a thread a guy started about setting up a modular synth system for his bass in the effects thread. It has not been active in a while but it was pretty cool.
