Im curious to know what people are using in the loop section of the mf-104. Please tell. I haven’t experimented with mine yet. I should have by now, I’ve had the thing long enough.

My favorite effects to use in the loop were a pitch shifter or a ring modulator. You’d hear dry signal, first repeat, and then every subsequent repeat would be increasingly pitch shifted or ring modulated. A truly amazing sound, in my experience.
A really choppy tremolo was also cool, as it would make things sound kind of glitchy.
More traditional effects would be phasing/flanging/chorusing. Watch out for distortions or fuzzes, as they can get out of control quickly.
I think the design of the delay loop is not right. The first delay is just a delay, it is only the subsequent delays which get affected by whatever is in the external loop. Seems to me that the first delay should pass through the external effect also.
If you really want to be bad…run a second faster delay in there.
My favorite is EQ… so you can color your delay… it can produce tape delay kind of thing.
Try with LPF or HPF…
Most interesting thing I did was hooking up a sampler with overdub… so things get very LoFi… with the long delay time.
A flanger is cool to… sometimes just a random feedback oscillation, it is very expressive.
