Three Ambient Sketches (A, B & C) | Which One Resonates With You?

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"I recently spent an evening exploring the Chompi Club running the Tempo firmware together with a few of my favorite effects pedals and recorded these three ambient sketches.

Rather than choosing one myself, I thought it would be interesting to share all three and hear your impressions.
Which sketch resonates with you the most: A, B, or C?
I'd love to know not only your favorite, but also why it connects with you.

Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."



"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls

Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.

Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.

Depth sets the depth of the LFO.

Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope

Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.

Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.

Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.

Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.

Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.

Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.

Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.

Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

Deep Analog Ambient Drone – Moog Mavis Soundscape (19 Minutes)

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"This calm and meditative ambient track is my first use of the Moog Mavis semimodular analog synthesizer.

This video is intended for deep listening and quiet immersion.
🎧 Headphones recommended for the full spatial experience.

The Mavis VCO plays itself as a drone, modified via the Mavis patch bay with LFO and Sample & Hold. Further modulation is provided by the Recovery Effects XCV pedal.
The Dark Star Pad Reverb from Old Blood Noise Endeavors calms it down even more,
before the sound is mangled by Hologram Electronics Microcosm in various stereo settings of the Warp algorithm.
The whole thing is pushed out in space by the Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb, using the E-Dome and Offspring algorithm in parallel.
Patch cables: myVolts Halo.

Single take/single track recording, no overdubs.

"FLOAT DUAL MOVING FILTER

299.00
Turning our predilection for parallel signals toward the world of filters and widening out to full stereo, we are pleased to unveil OBNE’s first digitally-controlled-analog pedal.

Float boasts two independently controllable filters and copious capabilities for motion. Utilizing the two filters in tandem can create stereo movement, linked reactive elements, and modulations that approach harmonic tremolo and phaser, as well as classic filter sounds.

Float features:

Two independent filters, each with control over filter type, cutoff frequency, LFO rate, envelope sensitivity, LFO shape, resonance, and volume

True stereo, parallel mono, or series mono operation via top-mounted jacks

Min/max toggle for precise sculpting of LFO and envelope range

Sync toggle to link the LFO or envelope elements of Filter 1 to Filter 2

Expression jack to externally control Cutoff or Rate for each filter

Soft touch switching with true relay bypass

Hidden settings for LFO phase and envelope speed

Pedalboard friendly size

Requires at least 100mA 9VDC center negative power"
