cool device. i made some cool stuff with it. i like the pos/neg sliders how they effect the whole module.

I am just getting to grips with the device but my hair is alredy standing on end
I could be picky with the interface but that is enough to say as I'm really using it connected to my MidiBox 64 - allowing me to set all the knobs with this little beauty.
Many thanks for this neat device - loads of fun to be had, lots of messing about creating wierdness or a beefy beauty
Keep 'em comming.

very simple but very useful device!
i use it as an multi effect router. with a delay, an autopanner a filter and so on you can trasform the simplest ezsynth sound into something very very beautiful!!
only one comment: you should write a label on each pot, like said subhuman, so i can see what input/output i'm tweaking!!

Crazy interface - a grid of knobs without labels. I'll have to assign them all to midi controllers and tweak until I figure this one out

It's a real simple device, someone asked me if Pulsar had surround.
I says YES, Surround Mixing up to 8 speakers.

i'm glad some people like it. i'm working on a clipper with lfo's. it will have the same matrix idea and a better suface.
thanks,

would you consider adapting this device to be used inside the modular V2 ?
that would be cool !

Yeah, to use this in Mod2 would be way cool. But from what I've been reading on other links I don't think CW have left Mod2 open source for developers

great device!
i think i'll try to talk one of my friends more experienced in electronics and soldering into making me real one
i would like some sort of metering (blinking LEDs?) next to each knob.
thanks

I'm sorry. I don't think I get it. I don't get how it's a multi-effect router and - well I just don't get it at all.
Can someone explain to me how to use this?
Someone said they can make the EZSynth sound amazing with this - how?
I'm not trashing the device or anything - I just know that in my stupidity, I've completely missed the point and am looking for some help to spell out how to use it.

What a dickhead!
Sorry - I just worked out what it's supposed to do.
Actually - it's a fantastic idea splitting the signal into eight parts so you can add effects to different parts and mix it all back together again.

don't feel bad, i didn't quite get it when i tried it out either....mind sharing on the insight?
i imagine there is more than one way to utilize this device. but there must be an intentioned way the author had in mind.

It's a mixer w 8 out and ins. You can change the volume of any 'in' to any 'out'. The xtra contorller controls the depth/range of all other volumes.

Actually, a device like this would be even better if it was modified to separate by fequency bands before sending out.
Ie. Have one input in - separate into 8 different frequency bands. Feed outputs into a mixer and apply various effects to different frequency bands mixing back into a single stereo file.
Does anyone think that would be a helpful tool?
In fact, my brain is working over time. You could do this by.
Applying equal amount of the input signal to each of the 8 inputs, running through the dynamic mixer with an eq/filter on each channel and then various effects on the second insert.
You could make a one input, 8 output version for this.
Now I'm becoming aimless, but this would be great to make some sounds with a great complexity, unless I'm just being a total tosser.

Hi,
This would be a neat device! But watch your DSP's go as you add filters and compressors and EQ's and more fx.
It would be great have
-split bands (variable freq or not, I dunno about DSP and workability pro's and con's)
-insert space for effects on ins and outs,
if you think you could do it.
I'm quite convinced that it's doable, but what about phase shifting? Won't that be a problem splitting a signal (mix) up into so much different bands and w many different routings/fx inbetween?
Would be great for remixing and stuff
Just some things that jumped in my mind,
at0mic.

nope...just not clicking with me yet....i'm not trying very hard to get it though. if i played with it some more i could probobly eventually get it. i don't care to at this point.
anyway. caleb, what you purpose can be put together in the modular. in fact joeka made a patch which works in this sort of manner, although not exactly how you explained it. you'd just need another 8 channel mixer to mix the signals internally. arramge the 8 filters to effect one input, and add how many ever insert modules you cared for.
maybe because i don't get this device yet i'm missing something though, the feedback part? i think so....hmm.

I'm working on a modular version w 8in/8out.
-> 8 frequency bands
-> 8 inserts
-> matrix (8x 8mix)
-> 8 insert slots
-> to 8 outs
I really appeciate the device uploaded above, now trying to do a custom edit.

Hey cool. Let me know when it's finished so I can check it out.
I might even attempt to do something in Modular because I've never even tried to use it, which is a little embarrassing.
I always get put off my modular synths but if I want to do whacky shit, it's probably the beast I should be getting used to.
As for the phase problems - I wouldn't have a clue. I've never really tried it to see what the result would be. Maybe it would all be wasted effort because it sounds completely stupid.
But that's me - all ideas and no brains.

hey, good to hear atomic.
