That was my idea too. Obviously you need to get Mexico to pay for it and shut the government down until your demands are met.

That's worded so because the Minitaur is limited to the C above middle C.

Actually, part of the reason the run of the Model D finished so soon was because demand for the reissue was so high. They ran out after a year when they'd expected to be building them over a few years.

Another idea: instead of relocating the RH stomp switch, what if you angled the portion of the surface on which they sit towards the player so that one's foot wouldn't hit the encoder when pressing them?

Given it's 3D printed, could you have a meteor crater modelled into the fascia, @GisserD?

Quite likely, actually. They often do limited runs of stuff (Minimoog D reissue, Subsequent 37 CV, Little Phatty tribute edition).

Anyone else clock that this is based on the filter from the Prophet 5? Now THAT is cool. I'm still not blown away by the demos though.

Stingray with a figured top - nice!

This has been announced and discussed elsewhere on here but is worth repeating: https://www.sourceaudio.net/what-are-they-building-in-there.html

Yeah, today is the first time I've looked at it via PC - the horizontal scrolling is a PITA. It's not that great on mobile either. The product will rock. I had a Minitaur but found the range limitation really frustrating; this solves that. Even though I have other synths, I'm tempted by this and it looks really cool.

Couldn't see one so thought I'd start one. Loads of cool stuff already announced, starting with this: https://www.moogmusic.com/news/sirin-analog-messenger-joy

Given all the functionality available, it looks like using Neuro is a must (or buy both pedals). Even then, judging by the block diagram, there are way more parameters than can be controlled by four knobs and a switch per pedal. I’m guessing they’ll do a “page” kind of thing with a long press of the stomp switch (like the preset mode on the aftershock).

The Spectrum is the filter-focussed model, the Elevon the synth-focussed one. Both pedals are capable of exactly the same functions though.

You’ll need to copy the parameter knob position markers exactly for any decal/artwork as they are precisely positioned and the lack of detented knobs doesn’t help.

This is pretty much the norm for analogue synths these days - analogue pots with digital control. Chase Bliss does this in its pedals too.

To paraphrase Airplane - looks like I picked the wrong year to quit buying pedals.

Just came across this rather cool idea: https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/stompenberg-effects/

New patches added today.

I have two, but am still interested in this.

What the hell happened in here overnight? I feel like I’ve walked into a trashed room.

The reason why the Pralines “issues” couldn’t be sorted (a desire to have some LPFs in place of some of the BPFs) was due to its having a global resonance control and the fact that the circuit boards had already been manufactured. You may be aware that LPF and BPF respond differently to resonance. In fairness, Olivier did try out the suggestions and was very accommodating and gracious. In his new “Moutarde” he has made the filters all low pass and given them individual resonance controls. He’s actually now delivered the pedal that was asked for (though he was already working on it)! He has said he does want to move towards digital control (i.e. presets) but has acknowledged that it’s quite costly and that he has much to learn in that area.

I’d say it is a bit harsh. Olivier is a one-man company and doesn’t have anything like the R&D budget of a company like Source Audio (which is also a small company, but huge by comparison). He definitely is clued-up as to what else is out there but is carving his own niche. If he manages to sell enough pedals to customers to fund building what he wants to build then I think that’s great. If everything were ruled by budget and “what customers want”, there’d be much less creativity and that would be a sad thing.

The Glou-Glou stuff is 100% analogue.

@Embra has an Enzo. I don’t think this (SA C4) is too much in competition with the FI as the FI goes a lot deeper in terms of number of oscillators and waveforms; the new update will add significantly to the options available for modulation routing. The Enzo still offers options not likely to be included on the new SA pedals. What makes the SA appealing is that there’ll be finer control over the envelopes. I think I’ll leave my little PayPal pot alone until this comes out.

I’ve been following and contributing to this on thegearpage and am very excited about this. They’ll be at NAMM with it at the end of the month so there should be some videos soon.
