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.

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. 😆

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.

@mylarmelodies

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.

Can see this replacing at least a couple of my other delay modules ... do I have to sell them tho ? Thanks Alex

Sign. Intelligel is going to throw out my back. Also: I'm so glad I didn't get the Strymon now.

Hard to beat a bunch of sliders for interacting with something.

It's a cool delay❤

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.

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."

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.
