Nice clips! Pretty sounds and they make me want to experiment more with it because there were so many things I've never heard from mine yet! So many sounds in such a little box.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I'd definitely recommend using an expression pedal with one.
One thing I really wish I could buy though was a multi-expression pedal box. So I could run three different pedals into one box connected to my expression pedal, which would allow me to choose which pedal to use with the expression. Also one so that it allows me to use it as a volume pedal!

the expression, is it safe to handle a cv out from, for example, the goatkeeper (0-5V) and other CV stuff? I already played with it but didn't hit me until yesterday that this might be a very bad idea.
At the moment I would not recommend it. It's not that likely you will damage the unit, but it is not really setup to accept that signal. You probably already notice that it doesn't respond to the full 0-5 V sweep, it will only really read up to 3 V then saturate.

In my experience with the pedal.
I've noticed you can only seem to get the pedal to quantize without an expression pedal, or at least in my case.
I also noticed, if you change the delay time whilst there's a delay occurring it kills the delayed repeats in mode 1?
Finally, the ability to save the quantization would be super useful.
When you try to quantize, it shouldn't matter if there is an expression pedal plugged in. It should work just the same.
The only thing i can think of is maybe this: Even with an expression pedal plugged in, and the EXP is assigned to DIR 1, only the ACTUAL Dir 1 knob on teh box sets the quantization mode. So for example, if you plug in an expression pedal and assign EXP such that it is controlling the direction/speed, you still turn the knob (not the expression pedal) to pick the quantization, even though the knob wont affect the speed/direction. When you tap the soft switch to set the quantization, the position of the expression pedal has no effect on which quantization is chosen.
If you still have problems let me know!
Nice jams!

Maybe I missed it, but is there a recommended expression pedal? Is a moog ep-2 ok to get best results.

On trying briefly my Dunlop Volume X didn't seem to work completely as intented but I need to investigate things further.

Dunlop doesn't seem to list the main pot value on the volume x docs, but does mention an internal trim to set the minimum. If that's not turned all the way down, it might not give the full sweep when you plug into the ct5.
The moog one should be good. Any TRS expression pedal *should* work fine, but obviously i haven't personally tested all of them. The pedal in the demo video i made originally has a 100k pot in it.

Saw it indeed so I've set it up accordingly, it works with most pedals but with some pedals it behaves kinda strange, it's as if the range is too wide or something and it ends up somewhere in the middle.

I'm wondering about the Moog expression pedal as well because it's the one I own.

The moog seems to work entirely as it should for me.
