It's interesting to use the carrier input on the Modemmix to have the feedback out and the signal input have another (or muted) waveform that you're using as your main oscillator. * Using the Moddemix to spice up a sound via the feedback loop. So after kind of saying that it hasn't been getting a lot of recent love from me, this thread has sent me back to the Echophon and the (excellent manual), where Tony slots in some neat tips. And that even includes the hybrid digital-analog modules they made like Phonogene and Echophon. As modules get increasingly digital and precise, I find that the early-is 2010's modules they made-DPO, Wiard Wogglebug (v1), RxMx-**sound**really good. MN modules are really, really well made and designed. But yeah, if you freeze a loop, turn the input off and set Mix to full CW, you can send a gate or trigger into the Mix out and get a LPG-style ping with a long ring on the back end. Mine has some bleed (which I can clean up by running it into a second channel of an Optomix if necessary). IIRC, Tony designed the mix pot with a vactrol in it to give it a particularly smooth response. Well, it depends a little on how your Echophon responds. Also, the ability to lock a loop and get a vactrol ping at the mix output remains pretty unique.īut in a world where DSP modules are plentiful and the Tempi exists, it is perhaps a bit underutilized for its size.Īlso, the ability to lock a loop and get a vactrol ping at the mix output remains pretty unique.Įxcsquueze me? What's this vactrol ping business alla out? Can you explain this as I don't know what it is. I appreciate the Echophon’s pitch shifter and before I expanded my system (I got mine in 2013) I used it a lot as a clock divider/multiplier. I mean, the DPO uses them as well and was introduced almost a decade ago and is still going pretty strong.Īll that said, the Echophon is probably getting the least use of my original Shared System modules these days, barring maybe my Moddemix V1. I just haven’t seen any evidence that it’s much more risk of going away than other older modules of theirs. Just that when it comes to Make Noise there’s always a lot of “Will it be retired?” buzz bc of the vactrol issue and that the Echophon in particular gets a lot of that because in addition to using at least one vactrol in the mix pot it’s an older module, mono and is at least somewhat duplicated functionality-wise by the Mimeophon. Sorry, didn’t mean to suggest you were rumormongering. Is there any reason to believe this? It’s a pretty important piece of the Shared System and the pitch shifting makes this totally unique and distinct from the Mimeophon. I feel like this rumor kicks around every year or so.
