here we go:
Mimeophon: stereo, multizone, color audio repeater.

guessing from the looks of it, it's some sort of mix between clouds and morphagene/nebulae?

looks like the stereo echophon everyones wanted, except no pitchshifter . . .
big for stereofolks i reckon

Huh, interesting, wonder what it does in more detail. And more importantly, what it sounds like.

Yea, sounds reminiscent of the comb delay section on my Rainmaker there.

There are some seriously cool stereo modules coming out this year.
Seems as though it is a clockable delay/echo.
Looking good!

Wow that look like fun !

From the panel, I would guess that it's a digital delay line with a diffusion parameter.

Woke up to seeing this on social media a couple hours ago. As if I wasn't excited about adding an X-PAN to my Make Noise box, now there's this...

Damn, I guess they're just not replacing the RxMx, which is very sad.

I was chatting with Robert Lowe the other day and he made it pretty clear that MN isn’t inclined to repeat itself, which is why an Echophon 2 is rather unlikely. Which doesn’t mean MN won’t do something vaguely in the same space as the RxMx, but that lurches off in a rather different direction. Arguably, the X-PAN is such a thing, as the new Mimeophone may prove to be relative to the Echophon.

... that everyone would ~sniff~ when the teacher handed out mimeographed work sheets?

HA!

There was a scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" when the teacher ("Mr. Hand") handed out mimeographed work sheets (test papers?) and all the kids were sniffin' the papers. It was sure that way in the 1970s as well (I graduated 12th grade in 1978).

Definitely. I don't think any company should do what they don't want to do, if they've moved beyond the ideas.

They did some REVs that were received well, so I thought it could be updated if they discontinued it, because it seemed to be a great seller, but I could be wrong.

I've fallen in love with scanning and love the way that it implemented the idea.

I called this about 6 months ago. Erbe Verb is definitely next. I'm sort of glad this is a new thing, none of the MK2s have made me want to get rid of my originals, but man, if I had waited until now, I could have gotten my shared system a lot cheaper, haha.

Can't wait to see the Make Noise demo of it.

They always sell me on their stuff lol.

Tony said something in a Perfect Circuit demo of the QPAS along the lines of how QPAS didn't replace anything in the Shared System, but that it and other coming stereo modules (Xpan, now this) may call for a new, more stereo-oriented system. Wonder if we'll see Echophon replaced now that there is a more obvious successor or if this is the end of the Black and gold Shared System?

Do we have any idea yet what the "color" knob does? Distortion? Filtering?

Sonicstate video on the Mimeophone

12eightyfive · Post by **12eightyfive** » Thu May 09, 2019 11:11 am

Color looks like Filtering. They explain in the video that it is interwoven with some of the other functions.

ALSO new module XOH which is like a cheaper stereo Rosie

ALSO Microsound Music Machine new successor to the System Concrete, which they address briefly in vid. Looks like it is Wogglebug, Maths, Morphagene, QPAS, Mimeophon and XOH
