REDDIT BASS MICROSYNTH FULL
I didn't notice until I kicked it on and blew the roof off of a room full of 2-4 year olds. Between sets, one of the rug rats adjusted my sliders for me. I was using it for some dance pop songs in a kids music band. I recently sold mine because I determined I couldn't use it anymore. If you didn't, it can be tough to figure out. IF you grew up playing with 80s analog synths with sliders like I did, that's no big deal. While that's the reason the tone is so great, it means you have to dial in your tone every time. The huge drawback is that it's all analog. If you pair it with a hot hand filter, you'll have the ability to make EDM producer's druel. It's perfect for playing EDM and dance pop style sounds. If you want to play your bass as a synthesizer, then you'll have a hard time finding a pedal that tracks as well and sounds as nice. TL DR - It sounds great, but may not work well with your gear.
And the synth section is remarkably flexible considering the lack of parameters (which makes it very easy to use) and you can get Moog-ish bass synth sounds and funky Bootsy and Herbie Hancock style auto-wah/envelope filter sounds.
You may find that it works perfectly for you and, if so, it's a great sounding device - I love the squarewave sound, coupled with a little sub octave. I bought an attenuator pedal and tried that: No dice.īut this is just my tale of woe. So it's my bass, right? Well I have a Lakland 4401 (active) which it just wouldn't get any sort of consistent result from, but I also have an Ibanez AEB10E acoustic which would yield only marginally more consistent results. So I sold it and the guy who bought it seems to have none of my problems. I carefully hunted down all the advice and instruction I could online, adjusted and tested the internal trim pot through every possible setting, and contacted EHX for advice (they weren't that helpful). I found that signal gating would occur unexpectedly, that pitch tracking on the sub octave was somewhat random when playing on the lower frets on the lower strings, and the amp would fluctuate, seemingly on it's own accord, dropping my level drastically half way through a riff. But the BMS, while sounding great, was a total nightmare to get it to track consistently, not even reliably, just a consistent result. I loved the sound of it, so much so that when I sold it I bought 3 other pedals to recreate some of what I loved, and they don't quite hit it. At £115, we can see many bassists getting plenty of gig mileage from this pedal - and having followed the anticipation for this unit online, we think many synth-hungry bassists’ prayers may have been answered.I had one of the current models but sold it after a couple of weeks. The best bit about the Mono Synth is the price. The lower register notes offered by five-string basses are a challenge for units like this, but with some experimentation we found that there were certain synth types that this pedal tracked well with, even when grooving all the way down to the bottom of the B string. Naturally, active basses raise certain issues based upon the strength of their active circuitry and pickup output, so adjustments need to be made depending on your bass. The Sensitivity control works wonders when it comes to dealing with glitches based on your instrument’s responsiveness (or lack of it). Each synth setting is notably different from the last, so there are plenty of interesting options available to the player, all of which sound highly usable to these ears. The sound quality is quite stunning - possibly the most considered and thorough synth sounds we’ve heard using a bass guitar as a trigger. When you want to recall it, simply press the switch. The Bypass switch turns the effect on and off, while the Preset switch allows you to store a preferred sound for easy recall set the pedal as you require, press and hold the preset switch for three seconds and your control settings are stored.
REDDIT BASS MICROSYNTH MANUAL
The manual gives you an easy-to-understand breakdown for each synth setting. The CTRL control has a different interaction with each synth setting, from decay and attack times to envelope filter resonance, sweep depth, oscillator volume and modulation rate. The Sensitivity control also has an effect on the sweep ranges of several synth effects. If your playing isn’t triggering the synth, turn the control up - but if you’re hearing ‘false’ triggers and resonance, turn the control down a touch. An LED indicator gives you a visual reference as to how ‘hot’ your signal is.
