Well folks, after almost a years worth of experimenting.... the moment we have all waited for has arrived! The first real demo of the ILLUMIRINGER concept pedal in action! As I am sure you have noticed by now, it's LONG! Please understand this has been a lot of work to get this pedal to where it is.. it's EXTREMELY VERSATILE.. and there is a lot to show. Also, once you get going on a Star Wars theme... it's hard to just leave it at that ;) That being said, feel free to use the shortcut links above to jump around to different parts of the video (highlighting different features of the pedal). BUT if you want to get the full idea of what this baby can do... I suggest giving it a full watch.

I would like to take a second to thank my Cousin Mikey who helped me put this demo together for all of you (I couldn't have done it without you bro)! AND of course.... Trey Anastasio for being such an amazing positive inspiration in my life for the past 20 years, for the revolutionary guitar style he has created for us all to enjoy... that in which was a HUGE inspiration to me for the ILLUMIRINGER concept as a whole (how's that for a thank you speech.. run-on sentence? lol). In short, thank you!

Things to keep in mind... this video was recorded on a Sony Bloggie, audio via it's on-board stereo mic. The guitar pedal is plugged DIRECTLY into a 24 year old bass amp... and the guitar directly into the pedal. NO OTHER EFFECTS ARE BEING USED. The use of delay, reverb and other rig effects would of course add new and different character... to the already elaborate sonic palette of the ILLUMIRINGER. BUT for a demo like this, best to keep things as clean as possible. I would go on about the details of the pedal, but I think that is made pretty clear by the 24 MINUTE video about it (ha) so I will just leave it at... enjoy the show...

and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU..... always!

Monotribe Tips: Sync Out to Gate In. (Fun Rhythms!)

Published on Feb 28, 2013

"In this video again radiokoala carves out unheard of sounds out of monotribe, and also shares the fun technique he's just discovered: patching monotribe's own sync out signal back to gate in.

This allows to make some pretty interesting rhythmic effects; the trick is in enabling the inverted trigger mode in CV/gate settings -- in this mode, the gate is open not when a trigger is high, but when it is low (0V). Therefore, by patching monotribe's clock signal back to itself, when sequencer is running, one can in easy way add some nice feeling groove to a sequence!

Seemingly simple but seriously entertaining."

Analog Craftsman / Hexinverter acQA/R

via Analog Crafstman

"New! acQA/R: quad attack release EG. A special edition collaboration with hexinverter.net! (Thanks, Stacy) Channels 1and 3 have switch pots for outputting negative voltage. All four gates are normalled to control all four EGs from one gate signal."

Update: demo video added below.

"The new acQA/R quad EG is a special collaboration with hexinverter.net.

Signal path for this demo is:

Modcan 01B VCO - Modcan 67B VCF - Modcan 21B VCA - Synth Tech E580 delay

Because each EG is normalled to channel 1 you can send four separate cv outputs with a single gate event. Channel 1 is controlling cutoff frequency of the VCF. Channel 4 is controlling amplitude modulation.

Channels 1 and 3 have pull switch pots that will output a negative voltage, as is demonstrated at around :30 in the video."
