Mode 3

V2: I derived two patches from the original one, with different features:

Mode 3 MS: It has a mono effect signal path (sums stereo to mono) but has stereo out. This allowed the addition of interesting features:

** Added High Pass Filters to each looper. Freq controls behind the LPF ones.
** Added control in the top of the UI to randomize the start of the loop (peach)
** To make an interesting stereo image, the Stereorize control at the top (pink) randomize the panning position of the loops. The greater the value the more extreme the panning. In addition, the speed of the movement is influenced by the pitch of the loop.
** The delay in the wet signal receives the stereo output.

Mode 3 SS: stereo in (not summed) and stereo out. It is almost the same as the original patch but only with the CT5 part, for a “true” experience.

Mode 3 Legacy is the original.

The layout of the UI is basically the same.

Enjoy!

This is my take of the Mode 3 of the (now legendary) Count to Five pedal by Montreal Assembly.

It takes a stereo signal (or mono just connected to the left input) and record 3 loops of up to 8s. For each loop the is controls for on/off, volume, speed and direction.

All the controls are in the first page, color coded and labeled for each loop:

i) In the first row are the audio in’s, a mix control between dry signal and the loops, and audio out’s with gain control.

ii) On the left, the three columns have the control for each loop: on\off, volume, direction and pitch/speed. Each color for a different loop.

iii) On the right, there is controls for the frequency of a LPF for each loop (with the same color code) and the purple, magenta and pink buttons below control the volume, time and feedback of a mod delay (over the wet signal).

Another important notes:

1) To record, use the left stompswitch. It works as a latching switch and it goes directly to playback mode after stop recording. If you want to overdub you have to press it again.

2) The middle stompswitch resets the loopers’ buffer.

3) The signal going into the delay uses a HPF in the input to prevent muddiness. The cutoff can be changed at the top of the last page.

4) I left the bottom right of the UI free for experimenting with modulations over the controls of the loopers. I’ve been having a lot of fun with that.

Feel free to ask anything.
Enjoy!
