Meris? Blade Runnery? Ottobit, Polymoon & Enzo!!

It is but almost incidentally. It's an ambiance-generating modulation machine with a delay network in it.l

I kinda wanna get all 3 at once.

Still having trouble setting up the midi with my DMC 3xl. I don't see any set up info on the Disaster Area's site? Am I blind?? Please help me.

Here's a link to their manual
http://www.disasterareaamps.com/wordpre ... v1.04f.pdf

When you enter their setup mode at startup, you'll have to select the device profile that was created for the Meris pedals. There is one for the Ottobit Jr. and one for the Mercury7.

I always use a short TRS cable (Amazon has tons of options), but I just tried it with a standard guitar cable and it seemed to work fine. I'm in the habit of using TRS because we do both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT on the same jack. MIDI IN to the Meris Pedal on the tip, and MIDI OUT of our pedal on the ring.

Also make sure our MIDI channel matches the one of your DMC3xl. We default to MIDI Channel 1, but you can change it on our device in Global Configuration Mode

There a video on this? I had to use a darn video for the H9. I just cannot seem to understand it otherwise.

No video to my knowledge, you may want to contact Disaster Area directly. I think the main hurdle is selecting the right device mode on the DA DMC3, were you able to get that far?

Holy hell, just dipping my toes but the polymoon is insane. It's kind of funny to call it a delay It is but almost incidentally. It's an ambiance-generating modulation machine with a delay network in it. It functions like a delay at one end of its spectrum of possibilities but then blasts off from there way into the other end of its spectrum, way into uhm... space... swirly space, deep washes and crazy reverb-scapes and outter space crazy time hyper-modulation stuff.

Many moons... it's a deep pedal

Glad you are having fun! Your description makes me smile. It is the exact reaction I was going for when I was designing the algorithm.

If that's what you're looking for you won't be disappointed. It's like 3 or 4 or 10 pedals worth of hyper-modulation all working together in a tidy little package.

For me I think I will mostly still be running a clean delay before it and using this for a crazy-time layer between delay and reverb. You'll only get a distinct delay sound out of it for like 1/10th of it's possible range. The rest of the time it's something else entirely. This is not a bad thing.

I got lost in it for 3 hours and came out panting and slightly disoriented on the other side. I'm definitely impressed.

damn straight. i'm looking forward to this, might buy two.

[ritz]

One is a lot. I'm trying to imagine two at once and failing. Going by my previous pedal math that would be 6 or 8 or 20 pedals worth of modulation. It's entirely possible to have your hands full while hands-on tweaking one. All the same, I like your sense of excess.

[snipejd]

just grabbed an Ottobit off the bay, definitely a unique beast. It really needs a preset controller and still being able to Midi sync temp would be great but I don't think it's going to be able to do both.

Our pedals can definitely receive both preset changes and Midi sync. They can receive preset data, MIDI CCs, MIDI Beat Clock, SysEx and more all from a single connection. I do this all the time with my setups at home and in the office.

I'd be happy to help you out over the phone, if you'd like to call during tomorrow during business hours. I'm confident we can help you out. Our direct office line is listed at the bottom of this page: https://www.meris.us/support/

first, you guys really are the best. your pedals are so very inspiring and unique - so bravo.

basically what I meant, and probably didn't explain clearly enough, is that I have a midi 'brain' if you will, sending tempos out to a variety of pedals (TC triple, sl20, etc) and I'd love to be able to send tempo AND have a preset box for the ottobit/other meris pedals. but if the preset box uses the 'midi in' 1/4 on the otto, how do I also send it tempo? will the preset box have an additional midi input so that it can go midi brain > preset box > otto and sent tempo thru?

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm 100% confident that we can find a setup that works for you. The MIDI implementation on all of our pedals is extremely comprehensive. You can set the tempo several ways including Tap messages via CC and MIDI Beat Clock.

Let's start here: what are you using for a midi 'brain'?

Angelo

Hey Angelo!

I use FL Studio or Ableton to send out tempos to a Midi Splitter / Thru Box which has single lines out to my board, electribe2, and I was hoping to send one as well to the Otto as well as have a preset box for the Otto.

I was thinking in parallel, not series since my excess is I play through six amps and have for over a decade. I'm more interested right now in the modulation, maybe replace a TC Helix that I'm a little bored with and a SA Lunar that doesn't work. I realize the Polymoon does flange and chorus, not phase and that's ok.

Haven't seen or heard much of the modulation, the few clips so far have centered on the delay.

The Polymoon also has a pair of phasers. You're going to have way too much fun.

WHUT??? Phasers?? I thought I heard a phaser in there!! Fuck yea! hahahaha

So, I haven't had time to get my midi stuff set up unfortunately. I've been watching 6 kids all day (my sister in laws kids were here and my own). So tomorrow is the day!!

I read the manual for the Disaster Area stuff and I think I may just have to break down and contact them. Isn't Alexander the same company??

Had a really fun session with the pitch down setting on the Mercury 7 the other night with the Sub 37:

Yes. Yes we are. Here to help if you need anything.
