Hey guys and girls, I wasn’t around for long time, almost forgot my password…
But this one is a revelation!!!
It is a stand alone Synth! and a really damn good one!
OK. here it goes…
What you need is a MF-102, a feedback loop, distortion and splitter.
For splitter and feedback loop I use Tone bone 2 channel true bypass switcher, with 2nd ch send going into input of RM (important: this channel has mute function, for tuner out, so in mute function it is just a splitter!) than 1st ch send to dist, than to carrier in (boosted max but without dist) and output of RM to return (on 1st ch). Mix of RM must be at max. You can’t bypass the RM if you don’t want that crazy feedback loop, so for that I use Boss LS-2 Line selector, so I can turn down the gain on a channel with RM and switch to bypass. Only thing that sucks here is that if you don’t play for few seconds feedback loop stops. I think the noise reduction is the problem here… I’m not sure, well this is my first feedback loop experiment, so I’m not an expert : ) But if you turn down the mix or RM for just a little feedback on its own, the feedback works again, so it is not a problem.
This thing is a Beast! It really works on whole neck! Uf… one thing here… instead of octave up, you get sub octave!!! How about that… with pulse like sound! In same time a really great noise machine if you play poly.
I have been meaning to, I don’t have a chanel splitter like that but I have an ernie ball volume/pan pedal that might work. Maybe I have some time off next week ill give it a wurl. Sounds like it would be fun. The ring mod is just an endless source of incredible power!
I just built a feedback loop, and the ring mod seems to react well to it, so does the Murf! I haven’t had a whole lot of time to mess with it yet, but I’m sure once they all get together and hooked into a loop some neat stuff will be happening!!!
Ok, we all know that if you split the signal and run Ch 1 into audio in and Ch 2 into carrier in with some boost you get and octave up with RM when played poly… but if you split the signal after RM and send one channel back to Carrier in, you get octave down!
And if this is in feedback loop you get some nasty sub Bass synth. With LPF modulated it is real dubstep bass sound.
RM is incredible…
Yesterday I got my new CP-251. With mixer you can get some very interesting random tremolo…
Try this> S&H 1 out to 4way mult. One of them goes to mixer in, other goes to LFO pedal in, so you get not just random voltage, but also random speed. Put some noise into mixer and Carrier oscilator from RM and run all this into Carrier in of rm and Mix Full… Totally random tremolo vs ring mod and some noise if you like… Run another random LFO to attenuator and than to Time in on Delay and set to octave shift or other king of interval… and it shifts randomly up and down… really cool sounding, now I just want another CP-251, it really brings the power to MFs!
