Catalinbread is reviving the Csidman. It's their third Ghost pedal, after the releases of the Adineko and Talisman Ghosts. ($200 list and already shipping to dealers)

The Latch and Cuts controls have been combined into one knob, and the new Ghost control introduces a sample rate reducer that infects the repeats for some truly spectral granular delay tones.

Reverse Mode C returns with new art, and there's a multi-effect of oddities debuting.

Both are available to order until the end of August.

The “duh” obvious thing occurred to me this morning that the Lost & Found is in some ways a successor to the CooperFX Arcade, which makes a lot of sense since it seems to be Tom’s baby.

And that’s making me want to fund one.

I wonder how that will compare to Driving Notion.

Elektron Tonverk (latest reported specs/features)

Scheduled announcement (Noon EST, 5:00 GMT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgM6RLFOS08 (official Elektron account)

According to the source, it’s a flexible device that can be a polyphonic sampler, a routing playground, a FX mixer, an instrument with tracks within tracks, or even a multitonal sound factory.

There are four machines. Single mode plays individual WAV files (mono/stereo) polyphonically with loop points and crossfade adjustments. Then, multiplayer lets you load multi-sampled instruments and play them polyphonically.

up to 256 steps per pattern & track
arpeggiator for audio & MIDI tracks
polyphonic sequencing
individual pattern length per track
individual time scale multiplier per track
parameter locks
trig conditions & trig chance
retig (audio & MIDI)
micro timing & sequencer lanes
SD card slot
class-compliant USB audio

New EHX mini pedal, Pico Swello, based on the “Attack” function of the POG2. I’ll be checking out videos after work. Seems interesting. (Also I sense Dubkitty bait.)

interesting, but it seems like the actual attack time is pretty short. also, it always cracks me up when people try to demo envelope filters by playing Grateful Dead shit but don't play like Garcia in the least. i'd like to see a more analytic demo.

Isn't this basically the same as the Pico Attack Decay? => https://youtu.be/bryREeKQ-OM?si=FWrt8-7TU36Ga5kh

That's what I wondered as well. There's definitely some overlapping sounds possible, but the Attack Decay is just a reverse tape simulator. The Pico Attack has a dedicated LPF with mod control, so it will do more resonant textures that the AD units don't produce.

Personally, I'd probably grab the FS AD over either of the Pico units.

i don’t think this one has a control for decay.

SA releases the Encounter, which is a bit like a more ambient/experimental Collider. They updated some reverb algorithms to function more like extended delay sounds, in addition to introducing new delay banks like the Kaleidoscope (galloping, multi-tap). The Kaleidoscope kind of reminds me of an Echorec wire delay married to an 80s multi-tap rack delay (or Echorec meets UltraTap). Other delay algos also got updates and bonus features.

You can do delay+reverb or DD/RR, so that opens up some sounds that the Nemesis ADT and their other pedals can't do.

With their Neuro app, you can go much further with customization of individual engines. This one seems promising for people who don't like menus, or people who do like putting in that extra work.

I really was hoping that glowed in the dark, which would be helpful for some on a darkened stage. Unfortunately, it's just....ermm...

probably didn’t want to deal with them getting returned once the glow stuff was past its prime.
