one of those modules that has a mythical status
one of those modules that has a mythical status, so rare or expensive that only residents of mount olympus could have an opinion or dream of owning, seen in several moog photos, but rarely patched! and none of the umpteen videos on youtube make it sound much different to a ring modulator. but thanks to behringer that has all changed and anyone is free to try ( affordably anyway), i think many will be disappointed, indeed i have already seen a few comments along the lines of "what do i do with it?" my expectations were already low, these legendary modules are often emperors new clothes,so im quite happy. subtlety seems to be key with this module. using it in the feedback loop of a delay device is one of the examples often cited, and this does give an interesting range of evolving sustaining sounds, a bit like a much less noisy korg montron delay...which is a good thing in my book. can also add a nice shimmer to sounds. once youve tried one you start to recognize the effect in old electronic works so it can give a nice retro 50s sound! so yes i like it, im so glad to have been able to try one, i dont think its a game changing device but it is an interesting effect to use now and then and im sure i will find other uses for it....and lets admit it, it just looks cool in a 55 set up!!!
