The Rate output produces pulses at skewed tempi, allowing Mimeophon's repeat effect to act as a synchronization source for other devices. The Skew button also allows for temporally offset operation between the left and right audio channels, effectively allowing the Rate control to inversely affect each side for swirling spatial images and ping pong-like effects. Complete with tempo sync (and clock division/multiplication), CV input, and a micro Rate input for subtler doppler modulation, Mimeophon's Rate control is the destination for more traditional delay-like effects. If whooshy, wobbly delay modulation effects are what you want, though, don't fret: the Rate control can take you there. Best of all, altering Zone doesn't incur the Doppler shift effect associated with most delays: pitch information is preserved while timescale changes. Zone shifts the overall timescale, ranging from microsound to lengthy looping ranges. It provides two primary controls related to perceived effect duration: Zone and Rate. Mimeophon offers stereo input and output (perfect for adding in line with a or Morphagene).

A glance through its features seems to reveal an obvious kinship to the, , and : a complex and well-considered time-based effect whose potential branches well beyond a simple label such as "delay" or "looper." Mimeophon's scale of operation is uncommonly wide: it can perform temporal processes as short as 1.3ms to as long as 41 seconds, making it just as useful as a flanger, for instance, as it is as a delay.

Following in the footsteps of several of their previous digital modules, it might just make you reconsider what a delay effect is, and how it can be used.Īnother collaboration with soundhack's Tom Erbe, the Mimeophon is a synthesis tool based on exploiting the repetition of sonic material. Make Noise & soundhack's Mimeophon breaks the boundaries between all types of time-based effects, capable of everything from Karplus-Strong synthesis and flange effects to full-on delay and looping. My studio is smoke-free, kid-free, pet-free. Sounds great, just doesn't fit in with what I'm going for right now. they call it 'color') - wonderful for ambient, but works for everything. A lovely stereo delay effect that also includes a reverb and a filter (sort of.
