Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
Yeah, once I started going with it, the flow is pretty natural. Though I think the act of going through and making that cheatsheet helped lodge things in my head.
Already impressed with the amount of ideas this is giving me. Especially in a parallel loop in my mixer, where it can just add accents to something else. Fave thing so far is having just the DIV tone (with the MULT running through the lfo but not audible) to add funky bass warbles to piano/organ sounds.
And I can't wait 'til I can play with my saxophonist friends again... definitely want to run some sax sounds through this!

I don't know him personally but I've seen him play in a bunch of stuff, including occasionally with my peeps in Joseph Shabason's band.multi_s wrote:oh haha do you know Hugh Marsh? (he also lives in toronto area?) i think he told me he was playing sax through it as his go to.
He's definitely someone I wanted to book for my music series in the past. Maybe at the other end of this I'll still have a music series...

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
Okay, I was running a vocal mic into the purpll, and trying different sounds. Massive coolness with the TRIGGER buffer switched on. I started whistling, and it became, like, a live ColecoVision soundtrack.

I love the TRIGGER buffer capture -- especially in nasty & long mode
Reminds me I haven't even tried the 2x speed/octave up dip switch

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
The long nasty buffer is the way to go. It might be my favorite feature of the PurPLL. Is there any other pedal that works this way? I have all kinds of glitch pedals, but none of them have a semi-random buffer like the PurPLL. I'm curious about what it would be like with a clean signal instead of a square wave.
There's a similar vibe you can get if with the CT5 in Transcendence mode. I'll twist the Len B around while playing and then switch to Mode 3 (so the loop is made up of jumbled chunks from the buffer), but it doesn't have the immediacy of the PurPLL nasty long buffer.

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
Also there's a new giveaway that I got an email about. I can't find the email now so I won't post it...but the contest looked cool. Making some music with samples or something like that.

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
PurPLL arrived.
From first impressions I've got to say that it is fun to plug a bass guitar into PurPLL.
Lots to explore.

Agreed. It's also REALLY fun to not plug anything into PurPLL and just flick on the drone

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
Is there a way to completely turn off LFO contribution to the MULTIPLY and/or DIVIDE blocks? I realize one can set RATE and DUTY cycle to minimum but that doesn't completely eliminate it. I don't see any way explicitly mentioned in the manual. I just got this thing so I'm probably missing something obvious ... Thanks for any help. -Tim

Re: PURPLL giveaway+ more
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that's what the toggles next to the Multiply and Divide knobs do.
