Who is getting an Expressionator?

[behndy]

mine is the soft touch no clikcy clicky.

 

[Yango]

I will most certainly buy one, if only because the Expressionator sounds so cool when listed off with my Over Drivulator, Uber Drivulator, Tremulator, Compulator, and Reverbulator.

I love this stuff.

good to know

at first, I was all like, "What no clicky-clicky?"
and then, I was all like

Next board iteration will include
Expressionator
-->Second Voice
-->Xero Dlx
-->FrantaBit

Off topic -Ben, Pickle is going on a gig tonight and then back to you.

 

[behndy]

cool. how'd you dig it?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

It holds court with my Supercollider. That clean blend might-just might- necessetate a purchase. And it looks so pretty next to the Phat Phuk B.

 

[behndy]

sweeeeeeeeet.

lol. now it just needs an expression in to be relevant to this conversation.

i DID use the LFO out on my Goatkeeper yesterday into the Expressionator. so. GOOD.

Cool!
I'm glad to hear this.
I might have to try feeding some S/H / Random noise from the Moog CP-251 and see if that works

This thread was starting to scare me!

I'm revamping the board - I'm going to try to have 3 of these going through one expression pedal. I'll be controlling a Timeline, Second Voice, Frantabit, Xerograph, Stereo WET, Faye Sing, and a Slicer.

This was my idea!

The owner of Lightfoot Labs told me that the LFO out on the Goatkeeper could only be used with Control Voltage and not with Expression, is this how you use it? I was considering a Goatkeeper partly for this feature.

Double the pleasure -

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Only took me a month to hook up the Expressionator... Life gets in the way.

It's not playing nice with the Second Voice, but I'm assuming user error at this point. Franta and Xero Dlx. are working flawlessly.

Anyone have a link to the manual, I can't find Jean's e-mail with the attachment.

 

[behndy]

zoop. i can't find it online either, pm me your email and i'll forward the pdf to you.

Double the pleasure -

MmmmmmmmmmmmmYEAH. Holy crap. I think I need one and I only have one(ish) pedal to control. Oh god. Need. Moar. E'spression.

Seriously though, my Moogs have the MP201 and that leaves me with just the FrantaBit. I reckon I could hook up some more on the Freqbox, even the Super FatMan, but I want MOAR.

Haha, I'd have an Expressionator for each Fooger if I could.
I'd also love to have an MP-201, but it's rather expensive here in the UK.

 

[NeroJazz]

JEAN - get those Expressionatorz en route to Europe ASAP, please! We're dying here.....

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Anyone using a Roland EV-5 with their Expressionator?
My whole experience with the 'nator has been very underwhelming and I'm beginning to think it's because of the Roland. I'm getting very little sweep when using the Second Voice. The Franta and Xero seem ok, but the sweeps don't sound as dramatic as the sound clips I've heard.

I'm also getting some noise in my signal chain now that I have the 'nator patched in but it could be power issues or cabling. I've got some troubleshooting to do...

Thoughts?

I got mine about a week ago and haven't even had time to plug it in/plug into it yet!!

I'm going to finally test it tomorrow and see what's what. I'll be starting with a Moog EP-2, but I have a couple other expression pedals lying about that I'll give a go also.

...couple of quick questions for those who've played with theirs for a while... how does setting the ep-2's knob interact with setting the span on the Expressionator itself? That is, because the Expressionator designates the lowest and highest sweep setting is the ep-2's knob basically obsolete? Also I thought that you could use it with the Moogerfoogers with the internal switches on the Expressionator (for CV control)...??

I'm sure that I'm missing something as I haven't tried it out yet and only scanned the manual Jean sent right after I paid. Any advice from you ex-heads would be appreciated, though. I'll post some findings tomorrow after I get it all set up (Xero, Franta and Four Eyes Fuzz).

 

[Waterpilot]

One of these days I'm going to have to read up on what they do and what ou can do with them... With my limited understanding, it seems pretty cool.

 

[behndy]

i've never used a Roland exp pedal, but with the EP2 and Mission i get exactly the range i do with them plugged straight into pedals as i do plugged into an Expressionator first.

and yeah, it's digital, so it can add some noise if it's daisy chained, mine only seems to if i have another digital pedal chained with it. do you get noise if it's on it's own power source?
