How some learned to stop worrying and love the spinchip

[drolo]

I'd say it's their own algos

[Jwar]

The console concept still bores me to death. Why not do dsp with updates or the ability to buy other algos? This is like an H9 without the convience. How much do those cartridges cost? Are they warranted? Why not add the ability to use more than one? Hell Devis looked better.

agreed on all those fronts.

also.



most of those effects don't seem all that exciting/can't be had from plenty of other devices.

I agree cartridges are dumb.
But joysticks.

I'll go one up on you. I hate cartridges and joysticks. Knobs are way easier to control.

Both are gimmicks. Neither are worth it.

At one point the Automobile was a gimmick.. but point taken. I do love me some Joysticks though. I think for me it's not necessarily about ease of control, it's about two different controls interacting together with one actuator. It kind of removes the linear idea my mind has about "Turning it up" with a knob.

Plus they look dope

Yeah, this whole thing looks like a pretty bad design for a pedal but it could be a lot of fun tabletop.
I wonder what'll happen if you pull the cartridge out while it's engaged and put another in... If you had a couple of these at different points in your chain, swapping them around mid-performance could be interesting.

So...no plans for a Dwarfcraft Console then?

IDK I'd rather have a joystick than needlessly excessive floor noise I can't figure out how to get rid of on the first run of my pedal.

Hmmmm...

Noise doesn't bother me on some pedals but on others it does.

That being said, that's kind of not that nice sir. You back off my friends or I'll fucking cut you.



I agree that joystick are fucking stupid and gimmicky. That being said, I'd still fuck around with the pedals that have them. Almost every pedal I've had one with, I said to myself "yea this looks cool but it's kind of stupid and works really bad". The Walrus Audio Janus was the worst. It sounded like butt regardless but the joystick on it is the worst design I've come across.


You know who I'd buy a cartridge from? Dr. Scientist or Drolo. Both have killer pedals that doe massive shit and especially with David having one that has different algos you can fuck with. For sure want that. It's be cooler IMO to do it with a USB cable though.

I've always thought the idea was stupid.

Look here sunny, ilf was built on all you bozos clambering for joystick covered toys that looked like shitty video game controllers from the 80s that you could all bro job each other over.

Joysticks are awesome, you guys are insane. Go back to your euroracks.

Console is a ridiculous idea though. I might just be a simple Norwegian philosopher, but is it not the case that one can have eight programs, or "algos", stored on one of these here spinner chips? I believe I read that somewhere...

Go back to your euroracks.
