Chase Bliss - Habit

Chase Bliss Habit is an echo collector. Habit has a memory and can sprinkle in fragments of what you've played to bring the past into the present. Habit is a lot to take in, but I'm here to try to explain it as simply as possible!
Thanks to Knobs and Chase Bliss for sending me this pedal
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - 01:36 - glitch sounds with Habit
01:37 - 02:35 - all of Habit's delay modes
02:36 - 04:59 - controls
05:00 - 07:01 - using Habit with vocal samples
07:02 - 08:51 - using Habit as a "glitchy canon"
08:52 - 11:19 - making the most of ✨ memory ✨

[@user-tc9fk2dh7x]

I love everything about this concept. It’s not a delay pedal. It’s a memory pedal. We love to think we know our memories, but in reality they are just jumbled fragments that never appear completely the same way when we remember them.

[@NathanHuiYi]

That's beautiful

[@travisyee7278]

Ahhh great connection you made right there, I love that. That's exactly how the brain works, mirrored beautifully in how the memory of the pedal is constantly overwriting itself and getting more degraded.

[@joshcarlton9184]

I have a complicated background with memory, and this comment did Not help. I won't rember buying it or why I hate it, but thats something I'll forget too

[@RedMeansRecording]

my god this is beautiful

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!!!

[@stefansynths]

I like how the memories fade just like real memories. It's bittersweet.

[@emilyharpist]

right?!? I felt the same way 🥺❤️ it's such a sweet and emotional lil pedal, especially with the harp!

[@matthewf1979]

Chase Bliss killed it with this one. Habit isn’t a guitar pedal, it’s an everything pedal.

[@paulgruendell8159]

Chase Bliss is my favorite pedal producer. This is so rad. You're my favorite harpist.

[@paulgruendell8159]

You make such incredible music

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much, Paul!! I love Chase Bliss pedals and it is such an honor to be working with them!! I really appreciate you 😊

[@SuperChaoticus]

I just started checking out videos of the Habit yesterday, so I knew this was going to be wild. You surprised me by being able to get actual nice musical results. Most of what I've heard has been a simple idea that just turns into utter chaos. Thanks!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!!! I'm so glad you found my video useful! Habit is really great, but it can take a little while to really get into the groove with it!

[@simonpark843]

This is a unique pedal and you did a good job of making it seem less confusing.

[@K0r0n1s]

This is why I love granular effects. It takes something relatively simple and turns it into blissful sparkly sonic textures

[@Hermitthecog]

I love that it gives the strings a sort of burbling sound, closest thing to an 8-bit waterfall.

[@parkerazz4385]

You deserve all the kindness this world has to offer. Settle for nothing else

[@Steve81M]

Beautiful demo, Emily! Also, thank you for the heads up on the expression knob! Didn't know such a thing existed!

[@andrzejkucharzyk9970]

By far the best demo of this pedal.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks!

[@andrzejkucharzyk9970]

@@emilyharpist it made me happy that you’ve seen my comment. That was my honest take and still is.

[@lukewarm5356]

I love the idea of this, could be the second pedal you've caused me to buy in as many months after the Avalanche Run! That piece you played at the beginning was beautiful.

[@_OopsieDaisies]

This is so intense but the results are beautiful and absolutely worth it! Also, the physical appearance of the pedal is gorgeous and that never hurts :) ps cool shirt

[@emilyharpist]

hahah thank you so much, Kyle!! "intense" is a perfect way to describe this pedal 😂❤️ I'm a huge fan of anything Studio Ghibli so when I saw this shirt I just had to buy it lmao 🥰

[@AnneloesF]

Ah wow. So happy that you showed us so clearly how this wonder of a device works!

[@telekhal]

Great pedal and very musical and instructive demo from a fine musician. Thank you Lady Emily!

[@andrzejkucharzyk9970]

This reminded me of your Chase Bliss Habit video. It’s hard to describe why I love that one so much but it somehow reminds me of eating cinnamon in autumn in a parallel reality.

[@ParkerDeBaryshe]

This is beyond cool Emily!!! Awesome demo, you're one of the most creative people I've heard make music and it's awesome to hear that come through in your demos! Plus applying that creativity to a CBA pedal is bound to be awesome! I'm a guitar player, so hearing pedals through something as radically different as the harp inspires me to make music

[@Icebadger]

What a wonderful sound! Thanks for making this!

[@53luxornanaelcamio17]

You play so beautifully! Those songs sound amazing. 💛💛💛Sounds like dreaming.

[@regularnimnule9715]

Chase Bliss really are pushing the envelope when it comes to to pedal concepts. Amazing. Beautiful vid Emily.

[@erifkind]

I like that this pedal kind of enables a real-time version of the way I like to freely draw modulation and weird track interactions into my DAW, without concerns about playability. This is a complex pedal, but really impressive. Great music as always 🤘

[@lastingmoment4781]

This is the best explanation of this pedal there is

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!

[@Dattson510]

Constantly upping the production of the vids. The opening song reminds me of early 2000's glitch. Great work

[@VanKapeghian]

What a fantastic demo! CBA killed it with this pedal. I have a Mood and I'm already planning the spot on my board for this one.

[@willfowler8540]

I really love the stuff this pedal was intended for but OMG THE TAPE DELAY IS SOO SURREAL

[@emilyharpist]

ahah I KNOW RIGHT?!? so good

[@pjay5536]

Em, you are a talented musician to be sure. Even the few samples made me relax and breathe better.

[@georgec8859]

This is all so wonderful, Emily! I always enjoy the level of imagination your music brings, you have a sound and expression of your own and we're blessed to hear you play.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you SO much for being here, George!!! I really appreciate your kind words! 😊

[@stario]

This is incredible! I woke up this morning reading about CBA's newest release. And now, a demo (didn't think anyone had their hands on it yet) before I sleep.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve had this pedal for maybe a month - Chase Bliss sent it to me to make a demo for it!!

[@samuelhill6210]

Sounds amazing! Love what CB is doing, including the incredible Starby short film. Love your shirt btw.

[@Zen_and]

What you do with the pedals you demo has been such an interesting ride. There's a level of creativity and curiosity to them that I really appreciate, in addition to the videos being informative. It's fun to watch. Keep up the good work, guys.

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much, Ryan!! 🥰❤️ Russ and I really, really appreciate that!! thank you for being here with us today!

[@mk1st]

Just when you wonder how someone can come up with a unique new pedal effect.....here it be. Amazing.

[@shea1]

wooow that sounds good w/ the vocal sample, chase bliss pedals are incredible

[@emilyharpist]

right?!? I'm so glad you like it as much as I do!! 🥰❤️ that vocal sample is from my very talented friend Natalie, we've done some duet covers with harp and voice here on the channel. as soon as I sent Natalie's voice through Habit I was like 🤯🤯🤯

[@ollocsband5137]

You did such a good job of explaining this simply that other demos didn’t do

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!!!! 😊

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

This pedal is amazing. I love it because it's a totally new type of delay. I want one just to run audio through it and play with its features. I bet certain songs ran through this would sound epic.

[@kilsoo]

Everytime i think i can just get by with my multi effects you drag me back in with pedals. Grats

[@therealandrew185]

Can we give some appreciation for the production on this video. It's really beautiful! Not to mention how sick the sounds are. I never really got into granular stuff, but this is simple enough that I kinda get the appeal.

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much, Andrew!!! Russ and I really appreciate that!! we spent a LOT of time on this video hahah so I'm really glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰❤️

[@davidclark3603]

It's you, your input that makes it great!

[@BURG]

Brilliant demonstration, and I have to say used in a very pleasing musical context. Loved it 🙌

[@bricelory9534]

What a beautiful sound - the glitchy bits kept in check by the delay parameters leads to a peaceful ambience all by itself. I really really enjoyed your use of this pedal - these may be some of my favorite demos you've done that I can think of. It's just so suited for harp!

[@emilyharpist]

right?!? I think so, too!! I love how Habit responds to the harp 🥰❤️ thank you so much for the kind words, and thanks for being here with us as always!! :)

[@bricelory9534]

what an amazing video ! thank you very much. astounding music and excellent information. Thank you !

Absolutely awesome vid. Loved all your music.

[@eddieriviello]

I can't believe I've only just subscribed - everything I've watched of yours is rad. Out of all the Habit videos I've watched, yours really helps me get a better sense of all the cool things packed in (although I still would need a few years to figure out this pedal!) Awesome playing as always!

[@emilyharpist]

thank you SO much for the kind words, Eddie, and thanks for being here with us now!! 🥰❤️ I'm really glad this helped you get a better sense of Habit -- it can be a little overwhelming at first, but once you spend some time exploring all the functions and sounds, it really does all start making sense! 😂🎶

Wow, what a cool idea for an effect. Well done demonstrating it! The vocal part was way cool, and they had a nice voice too.

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much, Alan!! that sample is from my good friend Natalie, we've done a few duet covers on the channel together! ( this is probably my favorite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2abeYSPZdV4h5o )

[@ArmageddonNerd]

The effects you can get out of this pedal are so cool! Some of them were so relaxing that I almost fell asleep while listening. (Probably also helped that I was in bed watching the video lol)

hahah thank you so much, Alex!! 🥰❤️ I felt the same way hahah this pedal responds so well to the harp and it's almost like meditating for me when I listen back

Y’alls editing is getting really great!! The music is obviously good too but you knew that already lol

[@noyd4172]

This is much more than the "yet another glitch delay" I though it was on announcement. Not sure about the visuals, but its fun, and maybe pedal world needs more of that (even I can only take so much raw steel/brushed aluminum. I thought the contexts you used it in demonstrated it's versatility and adaptability; kind of reminds me of blooper and MOOD, but completely different. I especially enjoy the almost "2000s ambient electronica" sound the Habit seems to have in it. If I got my hands deep into one, I think I would end up using it all the time without really thinking about it... oops, maybe we need a warning on CBA if they're forming so many habits. Can't promise I'll remember everything in this video, but maybe Habit will! I loooooove it and another tasteful jam from this jammery of a channel. Thanks, Em (and RUSS)

[@timrizzo3941]

Thanks for this! I really appreciate some new settings, and you guys get such nice things out of the modifiers. I've been so stuck on the idea of the compositional tool that Ive sent little time on the rest Now that I have a few dozen hours in with the acoustic I'm convinced this can truly change the way you write and iterate ideas, or even improvise on the fly- though there anything outside glitch or ambient takes some finesse, doable though. I prefer to set Spread to random square bounce for bringing in the memories though. Or Scan can join in as well if set to manual and automated that way too(say, L2R dips 3-10 on). The default autoscan- it just spends too much time making the scanning noise and not enough playing bits at too many settings. With both randomized like that it's more likely a trip to crazytown, or at least a shambling triple tap delay, but in such a good way. Thanks again for your ideas, I'm going to test them out now :)

A very interesting effect. It has some really nice features if you wanted to play it straight. I could see it in a practical sense. It seems to be rather sensitive when changing the parameters. Definitely one pedal to keep in your overall arsenal. Yeah, I think it's a pretty cool pedal. Thanks.
