Modgeist « A beautiful knife Swiss Lo Fi »
Published on 10/23/12 at 11:35Well, I'm not going back either on the characteristics of the beast, everything is very well explained elsewhere.
Being a big fan of effects and other Bit Crusher Distortion Lo-Fi, I jumped on without thinking Biscuit (analog filter and multi-effects 8 bits, yum ...).
UTILIZATION
Yes, for basic use, necessarily ... it is very simple.
Filter and filter properties very easy to access.
Sample reducer on hand, etc ...
Then it is true that other operations (use of effects) require some additional manipulations, which require time to adapt.
Now it runs, I can put a period in two seconds, but in the beginning, what knob does what, I forgot, arg!
And the icing on the cake, an update that turns the Cookie Der Oto, a monophonic synth! Simply enormous, but it is left for a big learning phase functions (especially when you do not like me ... New Skin). But hey, it's so class as SHIFT I really can not grumble!
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are great yes. Digital destructive, all coupled with a beautiful analog filter is really perfect.
In the studio, it works on everything (well, it depends on the aesthetics of course ...).
Live at the output of my MPC on beats and samples.
I also tested on my electric guitar as an effects pedal is nice, pretty violent too, but this time it digitizes the signal is too too "cold". In any case, this is one of the uses that I was less convinced (but also being a guitarist, I did not want to lose all my grain loop a jungle maybe ...).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for more than 1 year, and it is quite unique, so yes, I love it.
Perhaps more knobs under the fingers and much less manipulation to access effects was not bad, but good, given its size, I doubt that the issue was put up in less space possible.
Very happy with my choice of course, hoping that this new French brand (Oto) we ponde other goodies in this kind ...
