Like the look of this and a great price

I've been using the Disting's clocked delay for all my delay needs, and this looks like a perfect step upwards and frees up my Disting to do one of 15 other things. Score!

Saw a product tax pop up when I put it in the cart and it turns out this is coming out of Austin too

Can't wait to throw it in my rack.

still would love to hear a more glitched out mangler type demo of this delay.

great job

How does the sync input respond to audio-rate clocks? Is Karplus-Strong synthesis possible with the Chronoblob?

suthnear · Post by **suthnear** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 5:08 pm

I could not resist the specs or the design. Looking really forward to getting one...

wow.. its got the exact feature set i was hoping for. the two modes with resampling or without pitch shift for sync, the access to feedback i/o etc.

can't wait to hear more demos, with more extreme feedback settings, as well as some classic delay applications with subtle modulation.

Makes two of us..was going to hold until I saw about the glitch feature, but I'm not missing this one. Wonder when they will ship?

nice feature set but would love more demos.

Alright I've done a few more quick demos for you guys, they're on the product page or check em out here:

thank you!

really liking this - well done sir. is this making it to any eu retailers?

Is the signal path DC-coupled by any chance?
Is it possible to modulate the delay with audio rate?

The audio path is AC coupled I'm afraid. The time CV input has a pretty heavy lowpass filter and then an even heavier one-pole filter in the DSP code, so audio rate modulation isn't really possible. :(

enj_music wrote:How does the sync input respond to audio-rate clocks? Is Karplus-Strong synthesis possible with the Chronoblob?

Not well, unfortunately. It's not sample-accurate and the minimum delay time is ~3ms so the module isn't really appropriate for karplus-strong.

Awesome! Look forward to getting my hands on it, the glitch and stutter demo just made it clear it was the right choice!

The Hold Mashing demo should be your first demo at the top of the page...it really gets the ear and piqued my interest.

VanEck · Post by **VanEck** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:09 pm

What is the longest delay time?

hadj · Post by **hadj** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:19 pm

Do you know who's going to be stocking this in the UK? And when?

Ras Thavas · Post by **Ras Thavas** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:21 pm

Well, there goes all my carefully planned order of next purchases! The last 3 demos did the trick. Ordered...

Looking forward to having some pink Chronoblob oscillations in my rack!

So once the smoke settles, how about a "ChronoUberBlob", stereo signal path w longer delay times (up to 6 to 12 seconds maybe?), cross feedback modes, parallel or serial routings, and separate synced time mult/divisions for each channel?

The ChronoUberBlob should also definitely have delay time going way up into audio rate

2.73 seconds!

I currently have no distribution, they're only available from my web shop right now. Hopefully that will change soon though!

wow. and just when my gear lust was subsiding...

Dogma · Post by **Dogma** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 12:08 am

Man just as im looking for a delay and trying to hunt down a modcan -
im really impressed by the audio - is it a PT2xxx based circuit?

this looks really awesome!! going to have to make some room i think
