Users can utilize incoming gate signals for Flip and Hold, allowing for rhythmic engagement of reverse and freeze-like effects: altering the contents of entire zones, be they lengthy or minuscule.Īnd then the true mysteries: Halo and Color. The Rate output produces pulses at skewed tempi, allowing Mimeophon's repeat effect to act as a synchronization source for other devices. The Skew button also allows for temporally offset operation between the left and right audio channels, effectively allowing the Rate control to inversely affect each side for swirling spatial images and ping pong-like effects. Complete with tempo sync (and clock division/multiplication), CV input, and a micro Rate input for subtler doppler modulation, Mimeophon's Rate control is the destination for more traditional delay-like effects. If whooshy, wobbly delay modulation effects are what you want, though, don't fret: the Rate control can take you there. Best of all, altering Zone doesn't incur the Doppler shift effect associated with most delays: pitch information is preserved while timescale changes. Zone shifts the overall timescale, ranging from microsound to lengthy looping ranges. It provides two primary controls related to perceived effect duration: Zone and Rate. Mimeophon offers stereo input and output (perfect for adding in line with a QPAS or Morphagene). It is a complex and well-considered time-based effect whose potential branches well beyond a simple label such as "delay" or "looper." Mimeophon's scale of operation is uncommonly wide: it can perform temporal processes as short as 1.3ms to as long as 41 seconds, making it just as useful as a flanger, for instance, as it is as a delay. A glance through its features seems to reveal an obvious kinship to the Echophon, Erbe-Verb, and Morphagene. Following in the footsteps of several of their previous digital modules, it might just make you reconsider what a delay effect is, and how it can be used.Īnother collaboration with soundhack's Tom Erbe, the Mimeophon is a synthesis tool based on exploiting the repetition of sonic material. High pitched squeals! Watch those ears again.Make Noise & soundhack's Mimeophon breaks the boundaries between all types of time-based effects, capable of everything from Karplus-Strong synthesis and flange effects to full-on delay and looping. I kept it in so it keeps lining up with the video. Genre erbe-verb Comment by Experimental Edgar You can have fun matching the two up yourself: This WHOLE recording goes along with the video that I recorded at the same time. I finish up with a little bit on some other tricks I found last night. It's nice having this much control over near chaos! It's like herding a pack of hungry, feral cats at some points and than it shifts to changing the shape of the canyon thunder just crashed through with a few knob twists. Then the audio levels get REALLY hot because I unplug the audio source and just let the Erbe-Verb's internal feedback yank the thing into straight noise territory! The goal was to show how huge it could get along with some wiggling. It starts with a simple sequence from the WMD PDO, WMD Digital VCA, an envelope generated by the Intellijel Quadra, and all sequenced by the Rene. This is the direct recording of the stereo outs of the Make Noise/soundhack Erbe-Verb. ULTRA FRIGGIN LOUD AT POINTS! Be careful!
