![]() It reacts like playing an eBow on a guitar, which is the first time I’ve experienced that in euro. The Karplus Strong features in Zone1 and playing like a synth is really awesome. ![]() I think its a really neat idea and makes it a cool performance tool, and makes it more of an instrument than just a boring old delay. Because of that your expectations are different and you aren’t constantly comparing it to something. ![]() I like the fact that the Mimeophone takes from analog but is not an emulation. I just don’t think I think I like digital emulations of analog gear. I’ve owned a real tape delay and the Magneto doesn’t really sound like real tape. Also, I think the saturation sounded fake to me. I got frustrated with the UI of the Magneto, and it was doing unexpected things that drove me nuts. I think its closest to the Magneto, like others have mentioned above but also really different. The Mimeophone sits somewhere in the realm between the Magneto and the Chronoblob, with a touch of Clouds thrown in. Plus I relaized how important it is to have full CV control of everything. I just recently thought the Zoia was going to be it for me but I started getting really frustrated with the UI and realized I wasn’t having fun making music with it. In pedal world I’ve had a Timeline, two H9’s, a Zoia, a Fulltone Tape Echo, countless analog delays and digital dealys. In eurorack I’ve owned Magneto, Clouds, Nebulae, Chronoblob. So I’ve been on a pretty long quest for a good delay/looper/mangler and this seems to be the one that is checking all of the boxes at the moment. It sounds great, its inspiring, it has a lot of things to explore. Its easy to be hyperbolic with a new piece of gear, but I really am pretty blown away with this delay. I got a Mimeophone in the mail last night. I guess MN skipped offering an open feedback path because the routing becomes very complex on a stereo delay module. It involves lots of external modules and very complex patching though and if it really achieves what you hope for is not guaranteed. This way you can add a stereo notch filter to the feedback path and pull out the bad frequency. ![]() Well you can set the mix to 100% wet, the repeats to zero, use a stereo mixer to mix in the dry signal, then create your own analog feedback path with a stereo attenuator feeding back into the input where you need another stereo mixer again. There is definitely some magic under the hood keeping it from evolving into deafening banshee choir, but without a physical feedback path there is no way to eliminate undesirable tones from the buffer without killing your repeats. More than other delays I’ve used, higher pitched feedback seems to want to run away at higher repeat settings. At this point I am more sorry they couldn’t manage a proper feedback path.The Mimeophon is capable of modulating and morphing time scales of repeated sound from micro-sound to note to phrase length while also coloring and spatializing the repeats. It allows for Stereo modulations of Time, Space and Timbre of Mono or Stereo sound sources. The Mimeophon (from Greek mimeo (repeat/copy) and phon (sound)) is a modern take on various historical sound copying, echo and repeating devices. The Mimeophon music synthesizer module is a stereo, multi-zone color audio repeater by Make Noise and soundhack, coded by Tom Erbe. This is an absurdly great module, perfect for coming up with new sounds along the delay/reverb/granular/echo-line axis! Here is a Make Noise Mimeophon Eurorack module in Mint condition, complete with original manufacturer's box, power cable, screws, and all ephemera. ![]()
