Always looking for the perfect set 🔝

[@turbotambourine]

Nicely done! I love when the setup just makes it easy to get a bit caught up in. Mimetic will eventually find a way into my case.

Hi Ben, nice performance setup. The only addition I'd make is a Lapsus OS as Mimetic / Clep / Lapsus OS make a great trio. Lapsus OS gives 4x2 multed attenuation which mimetic and clep thrives on. Feeding clep in to modulate the levels of mimetic creates some insanely complex repeating patterns.

[@ambientbenji]

That’s a great shout out! I actually had someone in the discord also mention that, so I will definitely take a look into seeing if I can squeeze one into the plans!

[@markbooth]

@@ambientbenji easy to perform with the sliders too. You can even mount it upside down for easier cable routing and flip the dip switches on the back to keep zero volts at the bottom

[@CodeThatVoid]

Really happy to find your channel :) keep the good thing going!

[@ambientbenji]

Thank you! I wish I had more time to commit to the channel, but I’ve got some videos in the works!

[@geyorck78]

Awesome setup! Can’t wait for some new material :)

[@ambientbenji]

Me either 😂 Hopefully I’ll be able to put something together soon and release it because this setup is so much fun!

[@DionDeGennaro]

everyone should have a mimetic, thing is a beast

[@ambientbenji]

Honestly don’t know how I went this long without it…

[@DionDeGennaro]

@@ambientbenji also gotta agree with mark that pairing it with a lapsus is great. attenuating it is even more powerful

[@ambientbenji]

That seems to be the consensus, so I am seeing if my rack plans can change currently to add one of those in!

[@robvbeats]

Sounds dope as always.

[@ambientbenji]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it, as always!

[@xoqoable]

Super cool.. can you share the ambient recordings you use for background by any chance?

[@Staypift]

Dope

Found a little hat on a park bench. Wore it all day. People thought I was jewish at a time when its very faux pas to be jewish but yolo. Big love. My head is itchy.

Great stuff! Do you quantize the pitch cv from the mimetic digitalis or do you hit shred and hope for the best? 😊

[@ambientbenji]

So mimetic does quantized voltages, if you hit shred it’s chromatically quantized a few octaves worth, and if you hit zero/shred it’s chromatic 1 octave. So I set my root note and then… pray 😂
