Thanks Somnambule. It is sort of funny that in most of these examples there's no sound source, just three effects.

A rather simple wish would be to hear the different presets (maybe using a simple pattern on the DB-01 and no other fx) to get a more general idea of what this puppy can do. Maybe with tweaks along the way, when a preset strikes your fancy, to hear how the knobs specifically affect the sounds? For context I just got a Deckard's Dream and am intensely researching reverbs... seriously pondering the Meris X vs the Nightverb as both are at the exact same price point.

@@aopaul That's a good idea, thanks. I was thinking of doing something a little more formal looking at the various controls. Going through the presets would be a good start to that.

@@RichardDeHove Thanks! No problem. I don't know how many presets there are, so maybe just pick your favorites and tweak accordingly. I saw 'Harp Lady' just uploaded her own vid. Love the function that morphs between different presets. Reminded me of the LXR-2 with it's ability to morph between two sounds.

@@aopaul Just watched it, a great video! I really must read the manual :D Been too busy having fun.

Yes, both digital synths at heart although I think there's very little overlap sound-wise. A no-sequencer Perkons is an interesting idea, it'd be like a much more viscous Vermona DRM1 Mk IV.

@@RichardDeHove I didn't know about the Vermona. Love it!

@@jmichell1880 Vermona is high-quality German kit

Thanks LB, you gave me a smile to begin the day :)

That's the mood for me :)

:D lol

Agreed! The damping makes a huge difference but this was literally day one so I was twiddling as many parameters as I could vaguely understand :) Edit: The freeze function is interesting but requires careful handling to make it shine especially since the incoming signal is then dry. I find you need another effect in series so you can play against the freeze. Of course that's highly dependent on the original sound. Another video coming soon.

Drum machines aren't the main mission for Arp that's for sure. But for specific things I think it can do a great job especially with the recent firmware upgrades. Mainly thinking about long generative-style pieces with ratchets and timing modulations, just a few percentage point shifts can make a big difference. Still, fun to see what Arp can do to different machines.

I don't look at the gain knob as input level, for me it's more like "tube overdrive amount" . It'd be a shame not to use that big fat valve.

@@RichardDeHove sorry i was talking about input level on zen, i never cranked full

@@ex1stenz Yes, I was talking about the Zen too ! No harm in cranking it if you like the overdriven sound.

For the MIDI channel, instead of hitting the Menu button, select one of the four Arp channels then hit the "Midi out" button. There you can set the voice mode and the MIDI out channel for that Arp channel. For the send question, not sure - there's a lot of MIDI options! My guess is you may be looking at the MIDI clock option...

Coming soon

@@RichardDeHove 🙌🏽🥳

Agreed, he has made a brilliant little machine - that just keeps getting better.

A walkthrough not a review, but where did it jump ahead for you?

I didn't put any of the samples through it here but certainly you could.

I'm about to do one with external feedback - but how do you see a solo setup working?

Thanks. It's a beautiful machine.

Gern geschehen

Ja, Wet DAF auch für mich. Das wollte ich an die erste Stelle setzen …

Nothing in the demo is synced up so it's wide open on how to link everything. I'd probably have a master clock coming in (ERM Midiclock) and send a DB-01 and LXR-02 a copy each of that. Otherwise the LXR could be the master and give a MIDI out feed to a DB-01. The Zen I have unsynced and just tapped in a time for a little healthy slop. Haven't synced the Nightverb up yet - does a reverb need to be synced? Will try it eventually but there's a lot to explore :)

Thanks Eleni. I think the reverb creates the whole mood in the second one.

@@RichardDeHove Really...I had a feeling you might say that. So many new Electronic Sound Devices are popping up and they are actually quality items! Just traded in a big item I wasn't using and got the SPECTRAVOX which is quite fun to play and run the DFAM through. Makes it sound even more "beastial" or is it "beasty" ...? Now I have to find more Modules and Synths to trade in for the Erica Synths Nightverb 😭

@@EleniEliades_ So true! Loads of excellent devices around these days. The best part of that imo is being able to zoom in on the sound you really want. I had a DBA Rooms reverb for a good while. It was almost there but there was too much I never used. Sold that and "surrendered" to a Big Sky. Of course it sounds good but it's definitely not "me" like the Nightverb is.

:) The Nightverb is on wide stereo and the Zen is tape mode ping pong.

Agreed. The LXR is pretty crispy and although it has a lot of filter choices all of them feel a bit harsh and gritty. Here everything either gets the Zen's highpass with resonance, or the Nightverb's multiple filters. There you've got the bass and treble controls, but also the low and high damp controls which act like two filter envelopes. There's so much interaction between all the controls on the Nightverb but I think the damp controls really beg for more investigation.

"abgefahrene" - had to look that one up - I like. Thanks as always Somnambule

Always good to have alternatives. But I need to do another one soon since the Arp keeps getting so many updates :)

@@RichardDeHove please do! I just subbed…

@@RichardDeHove Please do!

The same reason people usually have more than one synth :) Seriously though the parameters are very different.

@@RichardDeHove I think erica makes sweet things I wanst the zen delay and this is sweet, but I was seriously asking. Love the company though

Was a bit sparse at the start but got there eventually 1:37 :)

Will do very soon :)

Could be the continuous knob twiddlings. I must include a few "normal" moments next time.

And you're judging this from what you have heard on YT? The real world is a very different place. ✌️

@@SpikesStudio3 how else am I going to judge it? I'm not going to buy one just to return it.

Tails are very harsh and diffused in noise.

@@HatredPrime Agreed! Which turns out to be exactly what the "high damp" control is for - which I never used. That's day one for you XD

That's what demos are for

Strymon Nightsky.

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h that’s what I have

Thanks :) I do love that the controls have so much range rather than trying to fence you into approved safe territory. Am thinking maybe some heavy drum stuff next....

Als ich es sah, wusste ich sofort, dass es zu seinen kleinen Freunden gehören muss. Jetzt brauchen wir nur noch ein Zen Mark 2 in der gleichen Größe und vielleicht einen Sampler?
