Will these be available by xmas do you thinks?

I love this for the bit crusher patch alone. Then there's the potential to make your own patches by getting that basic dev kit.

Can you have multiple patches running at once? Ignoring that you lose control over most of the parameters.

I had the pleasure of hearing the BitQuest prototype in person about a month ago. You guys are right to be excited - you won't be disappointed!

I kinda doubt they'll be ready for stores by xmas by I do think we'll be able to do an ILF run before then, late November/December kinda thing.. we're making some plans for an etched run!

Big potential for sure.. steep learning curve too though, it won't be for everybody. It's awesome though, I recommend everybody get a dev kit, even just to tweak your BitQuest!, super powerful.

You can only use multiple patches at once if you have multiple Spin chips going at once, otherwise it's one Spin chip, one patch.

Welcome to ILF, Brettski! Brett is our local purveyor of fine musical gear, nice to see you around buddy!

OK so I spent last night trying to figure out how to do an envelope control for the chopper fuzz patch.. I kinda thought it was gonna be easy to sort out.. I was wrong haha.

I'm just gonna spitball/brainstorm here a bit...

The Spin chip has 4 LFOs available, 2 sine and 2 ramp. It doesn't do square waves so the way I do my chopper tremolo patch is to read one of the sine LFOs. If the sine is in a positive range, above 0, then I output audio. If the sine is negative, I output no audio. So that's how I get pure on/off with the tremolo without a square wave. So now we want to sweep an LPF over the duration of that time when audio is being output. So whenever the sine is pos and audio is being output, we want a controlling signal to control the LPF and sweep away our highs, giving us a cool laser beam or hard sync synth sound. But if you sweep the LPF whenever the sine is pos, you just get a normal sine sound since the sine is going from 0.1 to 1 to 0.1 again, all pos, that whole time the audio is 'on'.

I figured I'd just sync a ramp to the sine, when the sine is pos, Jam the ramp so it starts its sweep, use the ramp signal to sweep the LPF...but I can't get that to work.. and I can't flippin figure out how to sync LFOs, they have no correlation and are all separately running... and I can't figure out how to disregard the first 0.1 to 1 of the sine LFO and just read it from 1 to 0.1, which would work also to sweep the chops..

OK I'm gonna keep futzing...

No birthday BiQuest for me then *sigh*

That's what I meant/was hoping for! XmasQuest time, whoohooo

Awww I'd give you a rain-check, we can't have birthday disappointment.. we gotta have BirthdayQuest!

You should get a dev kit, bet you'd get a kick out of it. I could email you your BitQuest! *smile*

So in lieu of getting the tremolo patch figured out, I think I'm gonna experiment with a flanger patch. I keep thinking about how the BQ is an adventure of my favourite high gain sounds and then I keep thinking that I gotta have a flanger in it.. palm muting and flanging is like the ultimate high gain sound... I think it could be even more fun than chopper fuzz.. which I will figure out eventually and it will be cool...

Flanger Flanger Flanger !!!
Someone should call Chank in.

Thanks, Syl, now this thread has my full attention.

ILFlanger.

Flange the flange that doesn't flange!

I'm in love with flanger!

Nothing is quite as awesome as chugging along with some swooshy flanger

The flanger'll be cool too!! But I'll totally be sending mine in after you get that chopper patch sorted. Totally want some pepperesque tones:
