I finally got my MP-201 this last month, and have slowly been working my way through learning it.
Honestly, its going to take me a while to really explore the technological depth of this device and all its exponential ramifications on sonic manipulation, but I have been trying it with various analog devices and pedals.
Finally, I tried it with my MF-108M, and used the presets 18 and 19 to controls the various parameters. I was getting some truly rocking sounds using it like a wah-wah pedal w/ my sweet funky licks. I had all 4 cv's running into the time, feedback, mix and lfo amount (lfo rate too at one point.)
At some point I leaned a little too much weight on the pedal, and I heard a shifting sound . . . not a pop, not a snap, but sort of a clunk. Now, I can hear the mechanical sound of the pedal when I sweep it manifesting audibly in my speakers. Its not noticeable if I'm loud and rocking out, but if I am playing at recording volume its very noticeable.
When I use just one channel controlling the time, I don't hear it, but when I add a second channel and more I hear the pedal creaking back and forth.
Did I break some interior component? Am I using patch cables with too broad a frequency response (Canare GS-6 w/ Neutrik Jacks of custom length) ?
Will the sound be noticeable if I put the CV channels through my CP-251 first as a buffer?
Why wasn't it built to take a little more weight? As solid as it is, it should be built to take abuse, especially the pedal part. I'm a pretty fit guy, but I can stomp with the best.
Anyone else experienced this?
