cloudsleep delay

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

i'd love for there to be a joystick or knobs option. desktop use joysticks are sweet. joysticks getting bumped around by my feets and lugging a rig around are not.

CV ins could be badass too for the joystick desktop version... or maybe for both, moogers could mess w/ 'em...

yeah i did think about the dangers and how easily it would be to break them... we'll see, maybe i'll do a limited release with the joysticks as they are damn expensive. that's what i get for trying to cut down on knobs!

How useable is a photo eye live, with variable lighting and what not?

good question. that's sort of the point though - it's not necessarily to use with your foot, more so to take in whatever ambient lighting there is and provide some weirdness. the idea of it being variable makes it so that it could be anywhere from barely-there subtle to dive-bomb drastic, depending on the room and the setting.

Ok, I'm sold.

Want. I have visions in my head of pairing this up with the forthcoming Sonic Crayon Anti-Nautilus for some crazy ambient fun.

photo-eye!

when using software, filter cutoff/res and delay time/feedbacks pairs for joysticks/xy pads are by far the best way to do them, but guitars use up too many hands!

i dont know if there is any practical/simple/affordable way to have a little remote joystick box attached by a midi cable or anything, that could be strapped to a mic stand or something

otherwise i'd say stick with the joysticks to keep the cutoff/res and time/feedback as pairs

yeah i definitely got the idea from many years of using software-based stuff.
it could be doable to make a remote joystick box i guess - regardless, that's a really neat idea!

i was thinking of the infanem faye's her which has a remote 2 channel footswitch with 2 cv/exp inputs, and its connected by a standard off the shelf multi-pin cable.
i dont know about circuits and how easy it is to split part of a pedal, like joystick controls, into a little connected box.
but i do know anything is better than watching the top of a guitarists head as they spend all their time crouched on the floor twiddling knobs

Shit dude! I think I'm in love.

[goosekevin]

Oh my godddddddd
I want this so badly
Joystick for filter is a great idea as is the photo eye. )))
I'd be minorly concerned with time/feedback on a joystick so the optional knobs thing sounds cool
Any ideas on price?

[goroth]

The more I think about the photo eye in the context Brian's described the more I think this is brilliant.

BRILLIANT!

[backwardsvoyager]

Consider me intrigued.

It's not the sort of feature set that would suit me on a delay but everything Brian does is amazing so I'll probably buy it regardless.

This is gonna be so COOL

[univalve]

Very cool! Want one for sure. (But i always buy your shit )

CV in for time is it for me. That would be an additional feature that would set it apart (and make it more useable for me at least).

the more i think about it, the more i'm planning on doing just a small run or custom option for the joystick version. it's way more expensive to have the joysticks and realize that it could be tricky for lots of folks to use or have on their boards...

not sure about the price yet, still need to see how long it will take to build/calibrate, etc.

well, the idea behind the mode-selectable filter is simple - many delays are characterized by the filtering of the repeats, so if that is highly variable one will have lots of types of delay at their fingertips... high-pass delays for bass to stay mud-free, filter oscillation for extra weirdness, low-pass for dark, vintage-y sounds, notch with CV control of cutoff for phaser-y delay tones (!) would be nice

CV in for time is it for me. That would be an additional feature that would set it apart (and make it more useable for me at least).

CV over time and cutoff will be the most useful things on this in my mind, so if i can i'll have 2 inputs. if possible, internal switches to select the CV destination - maybe time, feedback, cutoff and resonance? idk yet.

[coldbrightsunlight]

I love your enthusiasm for the filter. I LOVE filtering options on delays, waaaaay too many have just the one sound. The cutoff CV control thing sounds nutso!

[aedes]

i like where this is going.

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

i'm also playing around with these layout options... any thoughts?
personally i love the vertical orientation, but not the boxy layout - the horizontal offers a more user-friendly experience i think.

i think i agree on the horizontal being more friendly. the vertical looks sick but it makes me go "god that's a lotta knobs" while the horizontal doesn't.
regardless,

I agree with all of this so much!

I can't decide if I like the knobs or joysticks more
I've always wanted something with joysticks, but the knobs seem much more user friendly.
Maybe I'll need to get two...

Also don't know if you're anywhere close to being at this stage yet, but can't wait to hear demos!
