    Hello All,

    After a few weeks of playing with the SuperEgo, I’ve come to the obvious conclusion that just like the H.O.G. this pedal is very dependent on what you put in front of it. Also, I have a question for all who have the pedal so far. It seems to me that since you can use the FX Loop out as a “wet” send, the only thing that really happens on the return is to combine the synth engine with the dry out. Nothing else is going on, right? I get how that would make the routing possibilities simple, so that the FX Send would allow for a purely dry out for the original signal. In that case I’m wondering what the Synth / Dry knobs really do other than simple volume levels. It would also allpow for a second instrument to come in via the FX Ret to combine with the dry signal? Anybody got any input?

    Hi Bill!

    first of all: all Effectology videos are beutuful!

    Just a trivial question about this one:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeSM9fy_gVg

    What is the egosynth setup you use to create the organ like chords starting at 0:11 seconds of the video above ?

    many thanks & respect

    Granular synthesis is a basic sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale.

    It is based on the same principle as sampling. However, the samples are not played back conventionally, but are instead split into small pieces of around 1 to 50ms. These small pieces are called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and frequency.

    At low speeds of playback, the result is a soundscape, often a cloud, that is manipulable in a manner unlike that for natural sound sampling or other synthesis techniques. At high speeds, the result is heard as a note or notes of a novel timbre. By varying the waveform, envelope, duration, spatial position, and density of the grains, many different sounds can be produced.

    interesting!
    I know you possibly can’t reveal too much about freeze / superego inner structure…,
    anyway, generally speaking, that cloud seem to be the sum of certain number of grains…
    maybe as I tryed to scketch in the attached schema ?

    Thank you Giorgio!
    That opening loop was the SuperEgo into a Stereo Memory Man with hazarai.
    I created a big chord with the EGO and then looped in the Memory man.
    I then lower the pitch of the loop with the delay knob for the second chord.

    As for the inner workings of the SuperEgo,EHX keeps that a secret!
    Sorry.
    Than you again for you great question.
