  • First, let me just say how much I love XAOC Devices modules. Without a doubt, some of my favorites in my entire collection. When it came time to purchase another multi-effects module, the Timiszoara really stood out for me as not only a super powerful FX module, but customizable as well - even moreso than FX Aid, my other favorite multiFX module.
    This was the last module I purchased in 2022 (Dec) and while I used it often in various patches this year, I never did sit down and really learn how it worked until recently; even then, I am barely scratching the surface of what this multi-effects DSP module can do. Then along came Deva... it was time to dive in.
    I may do a longer format deep-dive into Timi+Deva next year, when I've had more time to learn them completely as this is merely a surface scan.

    And that's a wrap! I want to thank every one of you for hanging out and making 2023 such a successful year, not only for this CZcams thing but also inspiring my own personal and musical growth and, dare I say, bravery to finally "expose myself" to the planet Earth 😁 Much more to come in 2024, so do that socials thing and Like, Share, Subscribe and Ding! See you next year ❣

    Great demo of both modules. Kinda crazy how there’s still like no content on Deva lol. Even on the Xaoc site it’s just a video of the guy talking about it not showing it.

    so are those attenuators (/-verters?) or offset pots (little ones) on Timi? that bit was confusing. it appears that they acted as offsets.

    • @VisionsMusicGroup
      @VisionsMusicGroup  Před 2 měsíci

      Those are "attenuators" for controlling the input level. I do not believe they represent Offsets.

    Excellent video!
    One remark, the sliders are not attenuators for the CV, they add to the value.

    • @VisionsMusicGroup
      @VisionsMusicGroup  Před 6 měsíci

      Thanks for the info! This confused me in the manual: "The CV inputs accept 10Vpp. With the slider in the middle position, an incoming ±5V LFO sweeps the entire range. Likewise, with the slider set at minimum, a 10V envelope sweeps the entire range." That makes sense. Not an attenuverter, but a "what is center"? #brainquake

      @@VisionsMusicGroup not sure how to understand the question :) I get that the full travel of each slider changes one parameter of the current algorithm in the entire parameter range. Instead of using sliders, you can plug a CV, and it adds to the slider position (as oposed to multiplying which would take place if sliders were attenuators). For example, with slider at 5 the parameter is at half of the range (the center, if you will), and plugging 5V adds 5 to this value. The result is 10 which is the maximum value of the parameter. With slider at 10 you cannot go any higher, hence plugging a positive CV doesn't have any impact (which is a proof it is not scaling). But you can decrease the value by plugging a negative CV. Where is the confusion? :)

      @@pe00000001 No confusion anymore, thank you. I'm just used to mostly "attenuation" in knobs/sliders once the CV is jacked in. This seems to behave differently than I am used to, which I now understand.

      The jury is still out, but so far it's been fun annoying my neighbors dogs with squealing feedback. I just thought of an excellent use case for Timi's "Combo" bank, since it's isolated L/R effects, using WMD PM mono send/return! I might have found a use for all these things :)
