i thought similar things for the sequencer, you can think of 500 different ways to run patterns, trigger the change from the clean signal even, etc. but there is not really any way to select it so in the end it is probably better to just move on to a more sophisticated interface, but i try to make this unit a bit more worth while in the meantime, give a taste. Anyway since the samples are not synced, at least if they end up on teh same note they are not actually playing the same thing at the same moment.

no worries - that very reasonable, and as is the sequencer is still a great add-on

Scott, would it be possible to do tails in Mode 1? for example pressing the soft switch for a short time (so no holding or anything) would disengage the dry signal going into the buffer essentially allowing for tails. Then an additional short press allows for the dry signal to be processed again and so on and so on. That would be AMAZING.

Also, holding the soft switch down with a long press would produce runaway oscillation.

Personally I would LOVE to see these things actualize with the pedal and it would maybe have broader sense as I assume even more people would be buying the pedal and using it as a standard delay as well. Hell as soon as the features started to pile up I started thinking about buying another one. I don't think it's exaggerated at all to have more than one CT5!

I'm pretty sure that the second switch is already used up for the stutter/alignment function. :idk:

You're trying to suggest this into a standard digital delay here. :facepalm:

Not stutter, look in the last page, it's more of a predelay for the repeats. :facepalm:

I haven't updated my CT5 with the newest firmware update, but even as it is I feel like it's a great
balance of exciting and inspiring quirk sound-mesh and repeat usability. The updates (on paper) seem
to allow for new avenues of control and repeat usability and new sound quirk manipulations.

But I am definitely of the opinion that the CT5 doesn't need to be "suggested" into a "normal delay" since
there are so many other pedals out there that do that already. The thing that is enticing about the
856 Or Zellersasn is that it seems to provide more direct audio interface points with switches, knobs
stomp buttons.

As a standup guitar guy (only rarely table-topping while recording) I like stomp switch and EXP pedal
access to sound manipulation. And there's always a fine line with rememberability and ease of use with
secondary functions being accessed via an arcane combination of knob and switch manipulations.

But... I am super excited to try the latest update and can't wait to try it out. Just need to find a pal with
a Windows computer.

i am doing something a bit similar for someone custom, how we will likely do custom firmware is that anyone can pitch in together for the mod, then the patches will be publicly available once everyone is content. you can email me if you want i will cc you on the emails to the other person who is interested in this and maybe we can work something out. The more people interested in the development of a patch, the more likely it is to happen. Basically pwyc development.

There is a way to update it on any OS now but i have not tested it with mac because i do not have access to one, so i do not have the instructions up. You have to do it from the command line/terminal but it should work. I will test it as soon as possible and post the results.

I work primarily on a mac, have a non updated Ct5, and am proficient with command line work. I can test it for you tonight if you'd like.

This sort of makes me wish I bought another one so I could have the newest firmware. Feel like I'm missing a big party.

that's my bad. I said "stutter" before Scott clarified for me exactly what the new mode 1 triggering did. it's more like a delay time realignment.

Don't really get the "don't make this into a standard delay" comments. Where's the harm? What would be lost? So if ct5 suddenly does tails it's not that interesting anymore? I don't get it.
For me personally, the quality of sound surpases Boss, Line 6, etc so I would like to use it as a standard delay as well.

ok anyways, i will code for cash so don't worry about what people think of your ideas, if you want them done let me know.

for trails you have to deal with the fact that the unit is true bypass so you could only get as close as something you mentioned above, keep the pedal on but stop new entry to the delay line, then switch it off when the trails fade.

ie hitting the bypass will always kill the effect.

ok here is the page for the other app

http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/

the chips are st micro so you can see the additional info required on this page

http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/dfuse.html

the first line in the example commands on the second link should work, just use the path to the dfu you download from my website. the dfu file should know the proper addresses to re write. presumably the upload wipes the flash first, which might be necessary if it does not.
