I just updated to 1.4.5 and if you haven't, you must. I feel like I have been transported to another dimension. My only complaint: all the lost time since I just want to use Data Bender all day long. OMG on the new features! Just WOW!
So I recently acquired this module, hands down the most fun I have ever had with modular so far but only been using it in macro mode, tried numerous times to watch this video and it sent my brain into a mode that I didn't know existed which is complete and total failure, my brain actually broke lol bravo on making such a kick ass module hopefully one day I will be able to process the micro mode lol
Sorry, not sorry? LOL. Glad to have inspired you, but sorry to have broken your brain. :) Sometimes it takes coming back to something weeks...even months later...re-watching it...and then it sinks in. Keep at it - we're glad our videos are at least blowing your mind!
This is a really useful video, thank you! Data Bender is incredible - I love using it behind ping pong delay. Also the narrator has an incredibly relaxing voice!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! This is my fav module of all my setup with old version yet and I don’t know how wide will open my eyes tomorrow after update) ❤️
It will reset the default state for whichever firmware you are on! You can find all the setting states in the manual static1.squarespace.com/static/56feccc7a3360c08ffa34ed4/t/66269138ce104e65067cae35/1713803578907/Data_Bender_manual_2024.pdf#page=17
Glad you like the update! As @brendanwilliams701 said (thank you!), what you want is Unique mode. Here's a little more regarding stereo behavior, and how to get there: While holding shift, the Bend LED shows the stereo behavior of the macro-mode controls. Pressing the Bend button will toggle between these modes: 1. Blue - Unique Mode: All automatic bend/break settings will be unique for each stereo channel. 2. Green - Shared Mode: All automatic bend/break settings are set the same for both stereo channels. Please let us know if you have any more questions, and happy patching! :)
would be cool if you guys could do something similar to what you've done with the FDN verb panel in this video... mostly metal with semi transparent pcb portions for the light show. Just a thought so as to keep a consistent aesthetic.
Thanks so much for your ideas and enthusiasm for our modules! We love hearing what the community comes up with...and we'll add this to the growing list of awesome ideas and requests for Data Bender. Bend on!
Yes! In Micro Mode, you have control over the audio buffer's pitch using the Bend knob. Send some slow and minimal smooth CV to the Bend CV input for a wow & flutter affect.
0V on a sequencer would effectively be the root note, or if your sequencer only outputs positive voltage then the lowest note possible. Hope this helps!
When only using corrupt, panning is gone from repeats when bend and break are off in 1.4.5 . When you actively rotate 'time' it will sporadically pan, but then you break timing.
We hear you. It's not possible to design a deep module like this as a "one knob per function" type of design and not have it end up really large. And, we also need to make sure that people who buy it can have a good resource to learn it. We think that Data Bender is worth a bit of learning to take it to where you want. Thanks for the comment - it's a good point, and a good conversation! Also, thanks for the kind words on the VO. :)
These are only the advanced functions, by no means is shift used remotely often. Plus, nothing else can do what it does. A few shift functions every 10-20 patches is such an incredibly small price to pay for what this thing can do. Also, doesn’t the fact that you only felt the need to sell if after watching a video about it’s most advanced features for “power users” say something? I mean, no hate if you just don’t like buffer effects, but I would definitely encourage you to give it a bit of time considering its so new to you.
@@noahtotten - no hate taken, friend! I’m sure I’ll play around with it a bit more but so far, my Instruo Arbhar does the mangling I’m looking for in a way I personally find more musical. Plus, too many learning curves at once just takes the fun away for my tiny brain! I’m just thinking maybe between my Arbhar and Octatrack I should just be happy and make room for other stuff in the case to do other things. This is the third Qu-Bit product I’ve owned and while they were all impressive and cool, I just never fully clicked with them for whatever reason.
Great conversation here. It's so interesting how we all work differently and some things resonate and some don't. As @noahtotten said, there's such goodness just below the hood with Data Bender - we agree it's worth the journey. :) Happy patching!
