    Wow, thanks for all the detailed answers Flick! :D

    V256 sounds very interesting/unusual in a good way.

    BUT what does the Cathedral INFINITE do!?

    My questions:

    Cathedral:
    -what does infinite do?

    V256:
    -what do the drone modes do?
    -what does reflex tune mode do?
    -what does instrument control mode do?
    -what does transposition mode do?

    Memory Boy:
    -what does the expression mode control?

    Infinite, on the Cathedral, is basically a reverb that never decays. So it’s like freezing a note. When you enter infinite mode while holding down the TAP FSW, it will block the input of the reverb section so you can’t add more notes to the infinite though you can play over the frozen notes. If you set the reverb time to infinite by using the Reverb knob, you can put as many notes or sounds into the infinite reverb as you want.

    Flick, some more questions if you’d be kind of to oblige:

    Qballs-
    1. when the resonance is cranked does it self-oscillate or get near self-oscillation?
    2. With the attack and decay controls, is it possible to get Microsynth type filter sounds and hence synth sounds? Jack Conte’s video didn’t really make it clear, since he was going for the upbeat funk thing.

    The expression pedal controls delay time when the rate switch is set to either Vibrato or Chorus modes. Set the switch to EXP. PEDAL mode and the expression pedal controls the modulation rate.

    This explanation of the expression pedal control on the Memory Boy is accurate.

    Answers:
    1. Near self-oscillation yes, it does get very peaky! But not self-oscillation, although if you have a bunch of gain in your setup either before or after the Q-Balls it might self-oscillate, we haven’t tried it.
    2. You can get a synth dive that is similar to the Micro Synth, by setting the Start and Stop control appropriately in addition to Attack and Decay. So, yes you can get “synthy” sounds out of the Q-Balls but they might not all sound like a Micro Synth.

    I have to get some work done now, I’ll check back later.

    Hey Flick, can you clarify what some of the differences between the new memory boy and the DMM XO are? Different delay time? Different sound quality?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for all the helpful answers Flick! No rush, get your work done ;)

    Some more questions for when you have time:

    Do the memory boy and memory toy self oscillate?
    Does the expression pedal on the memory boy sweep the whole delay range?
    Does the depth on the LFO get deep enough to do some flange sounds as well?

    I am slightly disappointed the Cathedral doesn’t have an expression pedal input (from the Holiest Grail) and the gate option (from the Holier Grail). But the infinite function sounds very interesting, i can’t wait to see a demo of it.

    And the Memory Boy seems amazing too! I can’t wait for it!

    “ships in 3-5 days” That can’t be correct? Can it?

    they probably just have pre-orders going but don’t show it on the product page.

    I dunno. I could’ve sworn their Memory Boy/Toy pages said “accepting pre-orders” yesterday. Today, both pages say “typically ships in 3-5 days.” maybe I misread yesterday?

    Duh, nevermind. If I had just looked at the product description more carefully

    “This item is scheduled to be available Late August 2009, but we are accepting preorders”

    1. Yes they both self-oscillate, or run away.
    2. Yes the expression pedal on the Memory Boy can sweep through the entire range. You have to tune the DELAY knob to set the maximum delay time range of the pedal’s sweep.
    3. It doesn’t do flange but that has nothing to do with how deep the modulation goes. Flange is modulation of a very short delay time. The Memory Boy’s minimum delay time is not short enough to do flange effects.
