Nice! My only concern is, if i want two of them for stereo, will it just end uo being too much? As in, too many distracting pops on when the left and right sides are combined... I'd love to hear a demo of 2 lo-fi's used as a stereo pair
Just bought a Loop and a Slice and now I need this to go along with them. Swarm also looks really great, I want to see how it can do a detuned saw wave bass line.
Looks like a super-dee-duper version of the BOSS RPS-10 I have! Nice having +/-3 8va instead of just one, and the PITCH has V/8va instead of a square wave for pitch tracking !!!!! *Nice!* I've used my RPS-10 for adding a lower bass line to strings on my old RMI Keyboard Computer to fatten them up as well as harmonizing. Just thought, get four, plug into the Instruo harmonàig to harmonize a choir! (or, whatever!)
I’m left unclear on how I could maintain sync and avoid drift from a clock source. Any way to lock it into an external clock during playback? That might be the make or break for me.
While installing the unit i noticed a teensy loader and some buttons on the board. I can’t find any documentation on it. I assume this is just for 2hp’s programmers? I’d love to know.
The buttons/USB on the back is for flashing and testing firmware on our DSP based modules! It's only used for internal programming and for flashing firmware in the field. Sorry, probably not the super-exciting answer you were hoping for. :)
You say that the input level is a VCA, but it's not VC, is it? It's just an attenuator? It's a bit of a pity that there's no meta mode that uses different voltage levels into RECORD to select modes. But cool nonetheless! And all in 2hp (d'uh)!
Great question! And thanks for watching! :) You can only adjust the input level with the on-board knob, not with external CV. It's technically a VCA, but you don't have the ability to control it externally.
I think 2 of these would be awesome for making live chopped n screwed or “decaf” music. Take a stereo breakout cable run it thru 2 preamps, run each out to both 2hp pitchs, use an offset generator to control both pitch inputs at the same time. This would slow any song down in real time. Would be so awesome for demoing a car with a system that can do super low bass
@@2hpmodular913 I definitely will! I do have a specific question tho, when you pitch down with 2hp pitch, does it also slow the audio down as well? I really hope it does
I'm sorry, skull is very thick... trying to figure out if the pitch knob jumps between octaves? Or, can you chose other notes in the scale? Assuming the v/oct input allows you to play the incoming signal in any key, right? I want to make vocal harmonies but don't want to be limited to full octave shifts. Thanks!
No worries at all, Casey. This stuff can be a lot to take in. Yes, your assumption is correct on the v/oct input. This will track any notes on scales, not octaves only. Hope this helps!
not sure how to ask this, is the frippertronic fading continuous with loop playing in the mode, or just when you are recording / overdubbing the loop? ( I guess I'm wondering if you can influence the decay rate? whether decay rate is quicker if you leave record toggled on??) thanks if you can clarify! Is the decay right linked to how many times the loop plays, ie do shorter loops decay more quickly?
Hi CH2365---Thanks for the question! "Frippertronics" is only captured when recording or overdubbing. If you aren't recording, the wet signal won't fade/decay. As for your question about decay rate--think about it like this. Each time the loop records, it first cuts the existing loop's volume and then records over it. So yes, shorter loops decay faster, but only because they are shorter in time, not because of anything else. Hope this helps, and thanks again for the conversation!
Sampledelic! I love how the regular TRIG mode seems to grab transients and begin its playbacks with them. The other TRIG mode seems incredibly fun. Nice work.
Fair question for sure! A few uses would be to create harmonies, add depth and character to vocal or instrumental parts, or make slight pitch adjustments to correct intonation issues. Thanks for watching - and the conversation!
