Yes, C of O does it again. Love this video, you always find so many interesting ways to use our gear. Thanks!
Oh wow, the Glitch mode sounds wonderful!
Very interesting pedal, thanks for demoing it for us. Probably could get lost for hours messing with it. Always enjoy your videos, thanks Bill.
Just great. I like the possibilities to create a specific sound.
Good saturday evening dear friend, excellent pedal with huge sound possibilities including their settings. The sound performance is great. I warmly greet you and wish you a nice weekend. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
Great demo Bill.
Been watching you for a long time Bill. Congratulations on a thousand videos!
Thanks so much!!!
you really made that glitch sound good.
I'd like to see what Mr CofO could do with a Q-Bit Data Bender. :)
Great stuff your playing on a pretty cool pedal.
Reminds me of music from Buck Rogers or the original Battlestar Galactica. Way cool.
Crazy sounds_-
Lo-fi is the gated reverb of rn lol
Edit:: btw, I love both of them, just saying
I’ve got one lofi pedal, and it does its thing well enough. But growing up I the 70s and 80s, it’s always a bit of cognitive dissonance using it. Adding back in all the things I used to work to eliminate. We worked hard for audio fidelity!
But growing up, I liked a distorted guitar, I was used to the pop and hiss of a record player. Those imperfections were normalized for me. It reminds me of a quote by Brian Eno:
"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It's the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart.
The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it.
The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them."
- Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices
Great video, Bill! ✌️😌🎸
Thanks Bill, sounds great! Have you used Walrus's Lore or Fable? Seems like they could be on your radar.
Is "Ladder" a modern take on an envelope filter?
Actually the Ladder filter is based on the Moog ladder filter. With Artifakt you can control it with an envelope for a very extreme sounding envelope filter. You can also control it with an LFO, so it just kind of goes up and down on its own. Ladder filter is a cool effect, you hear it a lot in dance music - it's that sound when the entire track gets sucked up until you only hear a very muted the bass drum - it also sounds amazing when you slowly open the filter up again. I'm pretty sure it's also the filter used over the sequencer of "On the Run" by Pink Floyd.
I don't need an expensive pedal to make my guitar sound lofi!
But seriously - this sounds cool!!
I bought this when it came out, and honestly.. I really dislike how they do things. A lot, and I mean *a lot* of functionality is hidden behind an app that you have create an account for and log into in order to use those things for this pedal. When I complained to Source Audio about it, I was told I can just use their old version of the app which doesn't require these things, but we all know they can take that app down any time they want, or make the firmware incompatible with it. Sorry for the rant, the pedal sounds great and I like what it does, but I'm not very fond of kinda-owning-but-not-really-owning an essentially off-line device that can't be used to its full potential without some online cloud account. We're getting to the point where you don't really own anything in the name of harvesting your data and "convenience".
We completely understand what you are saying, and we hear the same from a fair amount of people. It actually got us thinking. We are considering creating a level of guest access that wouldn't require the creation of an account. The problem is that some of the features like storing presets in a personal preset library or the social aspects simply cannot work or don't make sense without users creating their own account. It's not unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, those are Cloud based services where users can store personal files - Neuro’s personal preset libraries are also Cloud based, so users need to create an account in order to have sole access to their presets. We also can't have people using the Comments and Discussions feature without some sort of account creation - we don’t want this to turn into a rampant spamming platform. All that said, we are curious about what sorts of features people would like to see from a guest access approach. Feel free to let us know. Thanks!
BTW, thanks for picking up the Artifakt. We hope you like the sounds you can get without the app. We think that pedal has a lot to offer before ever plugging it into Neuro.
@@sourceaudioeffects Thanks, I do like it, which is why I was frustrated with how the app works. It's perfectly cool to have an app that gives you some extra functionality and preset management, but I just personally believe it should be transparent and allow you to do all that locally on your mobile device. Not just for privacy reasons, but what if you're somewhere without a network connection, or a similar situation?
I could really get lost in this pedal
Terrible pedal especially the price. Stop pushing junk on us for monetizing purposes. Be truthful man. This pedal is nothing compare to so many others at third of price. One way to achieve this stupid lofi sound is to put it through a $10 micro mixer with a bad cable. Junk pure junk.
