BOSS has introduced three Slicers a)The SL-20 b) They included one in their MD-500 c) And the SY-1 has a slicer as well.Ok the sounds are killer but who whants to sound like the other guy?

And they all have interesting sounds but they all limit the user to even numbered meters, not even the super tweekable MD-500 has the ability to play odd numbered meters.

As a creative person I find that extremely limiting.

The other element of a true SLICER is the abilitiy to insert SILENT BEATS when you are constructing your own SLICER pattern as a user.

The 8 step ia very close to being a good SLICER if controlling the PITCH FORK but it has only 8 beats and you can’t have silent beats.

….unless you can in parallel control a volume pedal but with the same slider configuration it is limited because lower pitch means lower volume.

PLUS you can’t have some of the breakthroughs BOSS has made in SLICERS a) Synth sounds (stuff EHX has done with dedicated products) b) Add Percussion elements into the pattern. c) All the other parameters.

I CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF SILENCE IN PATTERN BUILDING. Of course the SUPER PULSAR shows, you all ready know that. The SUPER PULSAR is another EHX product an inch away from the perfect SLICER: stacked with some of your synh pedals it only needs a pitch parameter.(and ideally a percusive addition)

EHX you are the peoples only hope.
please make a far better SLICER for creative musicians. a SUPER PULSAR DELUX with pitch tracking abilities, synth sounds and Percusive sounds added to the pattern construction oR ATLEAST MAKE A 16STEP CONTROLLER WITH AN EFFECTS LOOP AND A BUTTON FOR EACH SLIDER FOR VOLUME OR JUST SILENCE.

Thanks!
