Just updated my rev K & J CT5's. The K with the updates is pretty amazing in terms of the amount of functions and options. The mode 3 modulation is particularly nice at very slow tempos, where you can hear it slur between steps. mode 1 modulation is great too - i like it on pretty low depth for some subtle swirl, but it can get nice and seasick up high.

Still getting the hang of the new mode 1 stutter* function - it doesn't seem as dramatic as I was expecting based on the description. but i only had a few minutes this morning, so maybe i just need to spend some more time with it. [*EDIT - it's not stutter. Scott explained below]

not that the CT5 needs anything else, but I still think it would be interesting to have some envelope-based modulation on all 3 modes, particularly if the envelope reads off the combined buffer + input. It could use a similar setup as the mode 1 [realign] with a threshold control, and maybe a depth control that is 0 at noon, and then increases in a negative direction CCW and positive direction CW.

I just want a small envelope/follower expression pedal that I can plug anywhere. Like a standalone moog env out with more options.

The point of the trigger is actually to make it more coherent, not more whacky/stuttery/dramatic. Here i made a very short video with a one note example to show the idea.

ahh, thanks Scott. That clarifies it. The folks asking for ways to make this function more as a regular delay should like this.

Thanks. That was what I was meaning. It works more like a regular delay with the trigger. Less random. Thanks! Can't wait to try this myself.

I don;t have a date for when, but I will provide an update for older models eventually.

One idea on the mode 3 sequencer - I'm not sure if/how it could be implemented given the current knob setup, but it would be neat if there were a way to control it so that different playback heads stepped in different directions. e.g., dir 1 would sequence in downward steps, dir 2 upward, and dir 3 up + down. that might reflect the fact that i usually use mode 3 in the 5ths + octaves q setting, and in that q setting the sequencer steps often overlap between the playback heads. so if there were a way to separate them that would help distinguish the impact of the sequencer. just another thought thrown on the wall...
