Mylar has this amazing knack of always making me want to go and jam with my gear ASAP. Infectious grooves as always! Thanks for another great demo (bonus points for the Pirate speak) ;)
Bloody hell, a worthy hands on competitor to the Rainmaker! Gorgeous.
As a veteran of modular synth KZread, the suspense of “will he attempt Karplus-Strong” is adding so much engagement to my viewing

I love the acoustic changes that actual fog brings to the sounds of the out of doors and this is a fine reminder to add this kind of soft, diffuse reverb to lots of things. Yum!

Wot? Just sat down to lunch and catch up on some KZread. This is amazing news! :D

Sealegs sounds great, and as you say you end up playing with it non-stop. It's almost impossible to leave it alone once you've started. One thing I'm not convinced about is the Color control, which I think Intellijel could have exaggerated the changing sound(s) a little more, would have made more sense. If you go between 0 and Full on, there's not so much difference in any of the modes (that I can hear).
The jam at the end is mint.
This demo convinced me I not only need a sealegs, but an Atlantis and tr8 as well
In short mode reminds me of the RadioShack reverb. Lovely.

I've had Magneto on my wish list for a while now. I'd love to see some discussion of how Magneto and Sealegs compare to each other, even if they're kind of apples and oranges.
This thing seemed sort of vanilla at a glance, but it quickly proved itself to be the type of delay unit you get a massive amount of mileage out of. Nicely curated to be incredibly useful with a minimum of fuss. That's my opinion at least. 😆

Man. That's slick. Glad to see them doing something different for them.
I like the interface. Sounds good too !
love the 20hp size the sealegs interface very more digestible and hands on compared to the rainmaker interface was overwhelming and confusing.
This seems lovely, it really appeals to me.
Woulda been nice if mod was default routed to all parameters and then the attenuverter pots controlled the amount of the default modulation. Instead of just routing to time. Then you could modate everything with just the built in mod and if another modulation source was plugged in to any of those inputs it would break the normal.

quite tempting, I currently use EEFEXX RT1701 as my sort of hands on stereo multi FX in euroland but I could see swapping this in..
This is a must have ,wow !
At first I wasn't that caught, but after hearing it I'm pretty sold. It seems pretty standard but the sound quality sounds really nice and the price is good in comparison to the competition
Looks and sounds fantastic. I love Magneto but am frustrated that the tape crinkle can’t be modulated, just manually controlled. This appears to scratch that itch.
Wow. It's like an early Skinny Puppy machine.

Basically Rainmaker is like a studio laboratory of delays, filters, pitchshifters and comb filter insanity - it’s a studio tool in that you’re gonna spend ages exploring settings and trying out weird things, and then it’s going to turn your signals into absolutely incomprehensible insanity or clouds of angels, and you’ll save that as a preset - whereas Sealegs is about quickfire access to deeply satisfying classic vintage delay vibes, what a 101 is to synths this is to delay is perhaps one way of thinking about it?! Id definitely prefer to have Sealegs in a live case - although I actually HAVE used rainmaker live a lot, but just pulling presets out!

You had me at 6 secs delay. Its all here. I've been wanting something similar to an MXR Delay System II I think this delivers on many points plus can do much more not least with the extensive CV control but also a lot more flavours than any particular ageing vintage device. Can see this replacing at least a couple of my other delay modules ... do I have to sell them tho ? Thanks Alex
WOW
Sign. Intelligel is going to throw out my back. Also: I'm so glad I didn't get the Strymon now.
Lots of people mentioning Magneto and Rainmaker .. but I think this is closer to Qu-Bit Nautilus, no?
Hard to beat a bunch of sliders for interacting with something.
It's a cool delay❤
Yaargh 🔥💯🔥
And I thought seals were reproducing like most mammals do. Also had no idea that some Canadians seem to face spelling difficulties. As a delay afficionado, this just made it to my shortlist.
WOW! I am stumped now, Rainmaker or Sealegs? 😮
Is the fog control comparable to halo on the mimeophon? One thing I hate about mimeophon is that you can’t really turn the delay off, even with feedback set to minimum you’ll still get 1 repeat

Yet another threat to my eurorack-less life
the Akai MPC One is slightly more expensive, features a quad core Linux with 2 gb ram. It doesn't accept CV, but emits 8 CV channels and could do this pretty much with 2 hands in the pocket. Lot's of delay, compressor, amp, stutter, 303, 909, 808, synth and so plugins onboard @ 24bit, 192kHz sound from a Japan chip company (AKM). main motherboard looks pretty cool with a big cooler.

I've had the One, and boy am I glad that I traded it in for Modular. The One to me is a glorious DAW-in-a-box. But I have PC with Ableton Live if I want that, which is wat more limitless. This Sealegs... And modular in general. I sit down, I patch, and I can play for an hour, getting lost in exploring sounds, switches, rhythms... It'll take a year more, and heaps of practice, but modular is so different than an MPC because it's just there, and I can immediately produce sounds with it. To me two Completely different beasts

@@RobK496 Akai MPC is like a mini version of a Ableton, but with a high end soundcard inside, 8 CV out. even better than a PC with a Ableton because of the the (Japanese AKM ADC/DAC) soundcard inside, it even allows you plugin a USB coundcards and expand the outputs. updates are easy just download a file and place on a USB stick. i also have a mini modular with Math's, STO and home made modules like filters, logic, etc. it's cool to sample you modular at high resolution, 192kHz. / 24 bit and proceed freaking. 8 Cv out is alot of CV control for you modular you don't get anywhere else. or 4 Cv out and 4 gates. the effects inside are good. Also i can sample my cable provider TV box when i watch a movie with my MPC X, or a microphone. i also have a 25 years+ old Akai S3000XL with 8 outputs (original first owner) witch also has these Japanese audio chips. But this one has touchscreen, control your instrument like a smartphone with 2 fingers, much faster than a pc.

Using a thing like Befaco InAmp (and out v3) modules, you can route the MPC produced sounds through your modular, so you have delay, stutter and all sort of effects and weird sounds inside you modular with additional CV control if wanted and route modular sounds in to and apply effects. "Sticking an audio cable, make a audio track and put monitor "on" than on the left side there is a XY icon and a XY axis screen appears, select an effect and you can control the effect with fingers, like a tape effect, delay, filters, etc, etc ... right on the sound from your modular and bring it back to your modular."

@@mylarmelodies True, that immediacy is really tempting. I love my Rainmaker (although it's always hand in hand with my WMD Fracture), but a lot of times I just end up noodling with it even when all I wanted is a simple delay. All those "This sounds good, but what if I do this...and that...let's try that too..." moments with it 😅
To me this is "The Autechre Module"
Based purely on this demo (I obviously have not yet tried it myself), I'm not a fan of the digital model on this. The good vintage digital delay rack units had digital crunch, but they didn't have aliasing because they had filters for rolling off higher frequencies. Everyone's got their taste and not everything needs to sound faithful of course, but I'm in the "digital crunch without aliasing" camp. Otherwise this thing sounds amazing and looks really fun and playable.
