Heading off to the post office after work! Hopefully customs let it slip through.

Anyone have vids of the transcendence stuff?

I seem to have an issue with mine. Mode 1 doesn't seem to engage properly? It basically just acts the same as Mode 2.

Mine just showed up a few minutes ago (bonus for staying home from work sick today). I'm just beginning to wrap my head around this thing, but it's awesome.

if you power up in mode 1, is the led blinking? if so then yes it sounds like there may be an issue.

you can send it back i will replace/repair it.

If you have already emailed me I will get back to you with return detail soon,

I only had to pay 200 sek to pick mine up. Which I couldn't actually do yesterday because it was sent to a different post centre. But anyway. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you buddy.
Picking it up tonight!

Hey Scott, I noticed that the low pass filter in mode 1 wont work if I have an exp pedal in controlling DIR1. Any chance you will remedy this in the next firmware update as well? (so it's not like, while I'm rocking the exp, the exp stays in the same position and I can't use the LPF)

#Possible thing to consider in Mode 2 - Dunno if this has been requested before but here it is. Sometimes I will use mode 2 as a foundation of a rhythmic loop and build an arrangement around it. So let's say I've recorded a chordal sample in a key of A. But now after a while I want to go to another key, so, unless I hold down the footswitch for an exact same amount of time like when first recording the sample in A once I release the footswitch after having recorded a new sample it will be longer or shorter and thus disrupt the rhythmic quality of my arrangement because it will appear to the ear as either slower or faster. I guess what I am asking is - is it possible to lock in the length of the first recorded sample so that any subsequent recordings end up at same exact length? Transcedence kiiiiiinda sounds like this is happening but not really. This would mean that the recording of the new sample wouldn't start anywhere in the middle of the buffer but always from the start of the buffer, and if one presses to record before the buffer has played until the end it would wait until it starts recording. So this "lock mode" would enable real-time sample replacements that are in time with what you've created before. Maybe I am to close to this since I would personally like to use it this way. Just thinking out loud. Thank you for listening!

I have built a small controller/looper for the ct5 allowing for tails in mode 1 and footswitching between 3 exp values assignable via pots. I will try and make a video demo soon, it's taken the pedal to a whole new level I feel. The ability to have delay tails and shift from straight-up delay to reverse to fifth up and back all while standing and playing made it so much more stage friendly for me and cemented it as the best delay out there, not to mention the other modes.

Best pedal ever.

out of curiosity, would the pedal still work properly if i changed the soft switch to a on/off/momentary toggle?

ok i will check out the exp problem. the filter should still work. im not sure i totally understand your explanation of what the issue is but i will check i out. iirc it was supposed to be setup such that the knob always controls the filter cutoff even if exp is assigned to dir 1. mostly because i imagine it being quite difficult to have one foot holding down the soft switch and the other foot on an expression pedal, a bit acrobatic.

re mode 2, its a good idea but i don't know how much time i will have in the summer to keep expanding the firmware. so maybe but i already added the volume control just for you so... maybe... but i cant say when, i am already behind on just about everything else.

would love to see your controller setup, sounds pretty nice.

probably. the button is just active low connection to mcu pin. no warranties on modded pedals though.

Just for me? Ha! Flattered, but it is a good idea I mean come on JK, and I did do a disclaimer where I said I was just thinking out loud and all that, obviously you'rw not gonna implement everything but the pedal is that powerful that I can think a million other things to want to do with it. So the feature set can expand indefinitely, you've created a monster!

[Inconuucl]

Also, and I love you guys, but holy feature creep. Need to be careful not to make the pedal too unwieldy.

[multi_s]

yes, in general the pedal does not have enough i/o /user interface to do much more without it getting into ridiculous ways to access every parameter. it is easy to imagine more functionality but at the moment i have more than enough on my plate, so not much will be happening soon, that's all i meant. feel free to request whatever you want.

it is a good idea, that's why i implemented it. i think you took my comment the wrong way, i just meant don;t expect much soon other than the volume mod.

Nice chillwave FAQ update on the Montreal Assembly website.

man, i'm itching over here. arrive already.

does the transcendence mode do anything like the PDS where you can hold the footswitch down to freeze the echoes/samples that are currently running?
if not, mode 1 should be used for this, definitely.

or like, just, i mean, arrive already.

i think there are (at least) two ways to do what you're describing.

1 - you would have the pedal in transcendence, in mode 1 (delay mode), and then when you want to freeze the current echos you would just flip it to mode 2

2 - alternatively, you can put it in mode 2, and hold the soft switch while you are playing, which will be sort of a constant sampling mode -- when you lift up the soft switch it will start repeating whatever is in the buffer

ya it does not do that exactly but the suggestions from mfZoom will get you something similar.Im not familiar with the pds pedals but i think i know what you mean.

the transcendence mode basically just lets you change modes without clearing the memory, that's about it. mode 2 changes a bit too but you can read in the manual about that.
