Making A Track In Three Minutes With The Chase Bliss Habit

Habit is a new lovely loop guitar pedal by the super-combo of ‪@Knobs‬ and ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬. It records a 3 minute loops constantly in the background, and scans through that. This is a concept that fits my style very well, and I had fun from the start. Here is a track I made in 3 minutes for the compilation "Habitapes" they plan to release soon on cassette.

EEEEE

[@heathrezabek]

How might we buy the cassette tape they are releasing?

[@cabbycabby1770]

I see the typical guitar pedal reviewers are having a hard time with this one, haha. So far it’s been harpists and synth/keys folks posting content.

[@bricelory9534]

An Emily Hopkins viewer by chance? ;) I agree, this feels like a very non-guitar (or at least non-pedal-review-guitarist) pedal and I love it!

[@gl00merz]

Most guitar players arent abstract artists I've realized. I love my blooper and mood, this is candy

[@squatchykrislapuma4611]

I am a visually disabled guitar player .Sound is my toy.I have a Mood and love the interactive ,In the moment nature of that little box of wonders! This new device is going to be a lot of fun when coupled with the Mood. I plan to use them live at Star And Meteor Shower viewing parties on Madeline Island in, Lake Superior this summer.

[@marcelchaloupka]

Yeah, a lot of guitarist don’t have the mind set for these types of things. But some guitarist do get it.

[@bricelory9534]

@@marcelchaloupka it's not just guitarists specifically, just people in general. Outside the box is often uncomfortable or too much a stretch for some people to want to do often.

[@marceldesmith9958]

Something wonderfully filmy about this! Would fit great in a cue outlining a characters anxiety, restlessness, or indecisiveness.

[@johnnycarson5146]

Wow, some of your finest work in my opinion. It sounds really organic and acoustic. Great stuff!

[@loopinnerthe]

A sound collage, that is a beautifully concise way of describing what you made. The cross over with scissors and glue and magazines feels so poetic in this context. I almost felt your "one take" live creative nerves with this which adds an authentic tone to it. Thanks for everything you do.

[@mishadoumnov]

Aside from music tech knowledge, this track shows a really tasteful ability to improvise and put musical ideas together! Improvising something short and cohesive like this as a performance, especially solo, is extremely difficult. I really enjoyed the track, in fact it is the best piece of improv I have heard in months! Thank You !!!

[@jhannevold5233]

Very interesting how the ambiance suddenly departs a melancholic Eastern European vibe to vacation in Ethiopia about halfway through.

[@benbowland]

Those accordion like sounds were so fascinating

[@tvariuness]

madlib would KILL this

[@setharnold9764]

That looks cool; I immediately think it might be fun to walk around a city or countryside feeding it sounds and seeing what comes back out of it.

[@Hainbach]

Mmh, cool idea!

[@Soundgas]

Great idea - run it with a battery pack…

[@g.pblack507]

I will be buying my first synth this weekend. Your videos are always very beautiful and inspiring

[@markbelcher1777]

What you getting - and why ;)

[@parsa.mostaghim]

just git my first synth 5 days ago. it's a fun journey😎🥳 it's 0 Coast by makenoise

[@78thandSynth]

Get ready for a rebirth. It’s a wonderful realm.

[@g.pblack507]

@@markbelcher1777 im stuck between the korg monologue and the arturia microbrute. I think i may get the microbrute as it will force me to learn how to proporly learn bare bones synthesis but on the other hand the korg seems to be very portable and i like the sequencer

[@g.pblack507]

@@78thandSynth i played the moog grandmother at a guitar center and i felt like i discovered a sound i had always known but never played it was a great expierence and i fell in love

[@bricelory9534]

What a great demo and performance! I love the spontaneity of the piece - it helps show the creative mind and heart of HAINBACH

[@mobiledaw1436]

I’ve had monophonic hearing for years and when I ordered the Habit yesterday I realised it’s monophonic nature. It’s not a problem for me in fact it was a relief that I didn’t have to anticipate how it would sound in stereo.

[@Soundgas]

Oh yes! Thanks - so excited to dive deeper with ours - going to be making a Habit track soon…

[@shanrichardson4197]

you have the most eclectic and esoteric gear collection and I love it!

[@kgbstudio]

its not the gear its the genious of how he approaches synthesis and composing!

[@guzzguzzguzz]

Need a whole release with these kinds of tracks. I sold all of my hardware some years ago. Makes me wanna dive right back into the rabbit hole

[@justingoers]

You could do so much with just this device and any noise source. Any synth on your phone could become and amazing audio source.

[@viperss4l]

Do itttt

[@thebrisketbrothers8128]

Absolutely beautiful textures. I love the plucks

[@VacFink]

It seems like a lovely tool to have fun with as a way to improvise and respond to pedals randomized and selective repetition to what was played previously. Very enjoyable. Thanks.

[@tristanroblind]

Oh my goodness! How amazing!

[@RPGould3]

Love this piece, great work!

[@SimoneProvencher]

This turned out so cool! Excited to hear the whole "Habitape" :)

[@doelman]

Wonderful result!

[@patchproject2814]

Love the way you used this! Sounds very unique and cinematic

[@lunatik147]

The piano sounds incredible! 😮 I love it!

[@michaelroche5744]

That’s beautiful

[@marl3ymarl3y86]

I’m so jealous, it looks and sounds so cool!

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

Lovely, as usual!

[@TheNimasan]

beautiful!!!

[@bighat6501]

Mesmerising… and agree that is one haunted instrument.. love it 🙏

[@Terreur_rose]

It sounds like I'm very tired and trying to remember a Francois de Roubaix song but in the best way possible 😻

[@soepil]

The pedal sounds great, but - wow - a working Claviset! Mine falls apart if I even look at it. :) I like the music here, very soothing.

[@denis_lengart]

Great sounding!

[@freebeerecords]

I like the arpeggio on the East German haunted Wurlitzer as the tune came around to the final stretch. Nice job!

[@temporoboto]

very cool demo, thanks for sharing.

[@bathtubmethlab]

Great sound. What is also great is that sweater. I love it and want it!

[@jesselough]

Glorious

[@yaanno]

That weltmeister clavi sounds wonderful! A half speed replay of this recording could very well be a dreamscape track. Excellent video as always! Improv guys will certainly appreciate the live play regardless of the level bumps or whatnot :)

[@arcturusvmoon]

Very cool!

[@Theemilz]

Awesome

[@collisiondevices]

That's a really, really cool video. Well done!

[@blov3615]

Now that’s how you use these pedals to get amazing textures.. Kudos to you

[@jammystraub488]

That is significantly more compelling than the other demos I've heard! I was thinking it was comparable to a Mimeophon, definitely seems to be its own thing though. Thanks!

[@Drinkyoghurt]

I recently picked up 3 tape based Iner devices (Royal de luxe, Report 4400 Stereo and CR210) and then stumbled on your videos. Didn’t even realize we live in the same city, your videos helped me out with usecases for these devices, but I need to overhaul them first 😅

[@lootwijk]

I do not understand how any of this works, and that’s such a great feeling.

[@benbowland]

2:43 For a moment it sounded like you were being accompanied by an accordion. So beautiful

[@brianfedele94]

Hi Hainbach! Great music as always! You are truly inspiring BUT my god if I love that sweater! It’s beautiful!

[@theleakyprophet]

This is very cool. I'd love to see more of these brief real time recordings with different gear.

[@sebastianmoggia4800]

Sooo yummy!!! Very inspiring music and pedal. I love it 😍

[@lukewarm5356]

Fascinating pedal, I really like the idea behind it. I have one of those Weltmeisters! It's never worked properly but you might have just inspired me to get it sorted.

[@bietfriek3601]

Everytime I see your old and lovely instruments the more I wish for a specific instrument. The idea I would like to share: some kind of player instrument that contains samples from the old gear (and/or modeled) but also with: - A bank with additional clicks and mechanical sounds to add/blend. It differs when you click an old style button, membrane, switch etc. They all have their different styles to achieve what they do but they can also sound and feel different. - Tiny delays (imperfections of the device/bad contacts) in sound when pushing a key, not only the sounds it also affects the note played (simulating the hands/style of the player). - A “chorder” - A big fat looper for effects.

[@filercoleman]

Nice one!

[@JeanDearCanada]

This sounds fantastic. You have way better old synthesizers, than my old Synthesizers.

[@DesertCow1000]

Heavy film soundtrack vibes from this little jam I dig it

[@DamienMacLean]

This video was very captivating

[@hellf.o]

Wow this is awesome! It seems that Chase Bliss made this pedal just for you!👍👍

[@stefan1024]

Cool, could imagine just feeding something very simple like minimal music like arpeggios or drones into it and this thing would focus on different bits and make the music come alive.

[@djknat]

Hainbach, can you make another video showing off the features and explaining a bit more on how this pedal works? I got somewhat of an idea but it was very vague at least in my mind. It'd be appreciated! I could always look it up, but it's more fun to watch your writing process along side you in-depth knowledge of such things.

[@adrianbarrientes]

sick

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

'Ergonomic Workspace Allocations' by Hainbach. Sounds great!

[@wingoshack]

Oh man there has never been a quicker trunaround from demo to purchase in my life what are you doing to me Knobs

[@billplace8463]

Quirky and fun accomplished, my mind is blown and confused.i want one.

[@seankeef9838]

Sick as always. It felt like listening to a musical version of a numbers station. Nice man. When is the compilation released?

[@Hainbach]

A few weeks off I think? All depending on tape production speeds.

[@brokensovl7312]

I finally got my hands on two cassette player on for recording and one for anything ells, just need some blank cassettes.

[@matteogazzolo1]

I don't know about Habit, but I love your music! :-)

[@alairlibreinsfreie5785]

i want to see the movie to witch this beautifull piece may be the soundtrack

[@jayfunk5988]

Strangely haunting and beautifully weird😀👍

[@nunyabidnis3815]

I always love seeing the artists that ChaseBliss reach out to, and this is a very pleasant surprise. This pedal certainly adds a distinctive Knobs influence, which is also great to hear.

[@cubeofcheese5574]

Parts of this reminded me of series of unfortunate events

[@DEEPMOSES]

Saturation turned up to 11 for this video! Lovely sounds ;)

[@Hainbach]

All tape recorded 🥰

[@PedigreeMonkey]

Ich brauche den Pullover auch. Wo gibt?

[@Silentsouls]

This could perfectly fit in some horror game :)

[@motherfuckerlimited1019]

Give it a year and I fully expect this to be a sample on the next injury reserve album

[@UnderSeaShadow]

It's like Tom Waits with dementia.

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

The beginning has a KRAFTWERK-like sound to it.

[@iamsushi1056]

Everybody’s playing with the Habit today, it seems. I’m very interested.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Is it impossible or very difficult to modulate to another chord with this pedal?

[@felixfriedrich8001]

Hi, wie würdest du Chase Habit/Chase Bliss mit dem Hologramm Microcosm vergleichen? Welches empfiehlst du mehr in Bezug auf Vielseitigkeit?

[@Hainbach]

Vielseitigkeit: Eventide H9. Epische Weiten aus fast nichts: Microcosm. Inspiration und Reflektion: Habit

[@janhenckell4178]

I wonder which dip switch combination you used and which combination you are using nowadays most often? Beautiful little track by the way

[@BottleMakesMusic]

Nice, glitchy effect. Can see this doing a similar job to the Microcosm (but hopefully a little less expensive?)

[@kenschestok9515]

Awe man I just preordered a Wingie2, I can’t afford to keep up

[@bodysnatcher9870]

Sehr sehr schön. Gibt mir dir Hauschka - Ferndorf Vibes.

[@Hainbach]

Vielen Dank!

[@h2o1969]

A wonderful broken toy / Harry Potter feel to it.

[@electronicbagatelle]

Very nice and kind of up my street as I'm not a proper musician so I love all random stuff. Is it comparable to the microcosm? Btw thanks for the lovely gig at cafe oto, it was very nice to meet you.

[@Hainbach]

It’s more quaint than the microcosm, more playful less orbiting in space. Complimentary I would say

[@Leather.Cyborg]

Видео просто супер! Хочу видеть полноценный трек. Если это будет присутствовать в каждом видео, будет просто замечательно!!! Приведу в пример " The Teaching Tool That Makes LoFi Beats To Study To" это видео

[@MetaHoudini]

Dreamy..

[@Quimeracromaticosa]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@JohnnyAndTheUniverse]

How did you hook up multiple instruments to this pedal?

[@sweetearthflying]

He’s using a passive mixer. He mentions it around 4-4:30

[@Primerock]

wäre ein guter Hit auf einer der früheren Mille Plateaux Scheiben geworden

[@bimaarbawijaya4744]

it just me or it sounds like a sundanese kecapi suling composition sometimes... maybe it just me love it tho 👍♥️♥️♥️

[@SyrusRayne]

You warned us that the Claviset was haunted, but I wasn't prepared for just *how* haunted it sounds. Does anyone know any priests?

[@user-me3nh1xw8u]

oh, wow!.. is it another obsolete chase bliss pedal? great video as always, though

[@Concreteowl]

I vwish I could afford this one. Maybe later.

[@kgbstudio]

Whats the price of this thing?? seems super cool!

[@jeffryarchambeau5441]

I've heard that it's hard to break a Habit.

[@limotl]

Hey Hainbach hello. You still using your pedal blooper?? If not I would like to buy it to you 😋

[@Hainbach]

Love it, got it tied to my Crumar 🥰

[@versuswyd]

can i sample dis

[@Kkidzz]

Thermae into Habit into Blooper ……… good luck!

[@georgemandom69]

This pedal takes control away from you so that you learn to listen to the magic of chaos.

[@haddongaming9946]

this is such a cool pedal. i like this demo a lot. you’re really weird looking

[@gavinw5469]

That's not very nice.

[@GizzyDillespee]

For $400 they could've added 2 more jacks and even a better processor and 3 more minutes of memory, if that's what's needed to make it stereo. Most of the cost is development, right? Maybe they would say "spend $800 if you want a stereo 3 minute buffer" or "let them eat cake!" But then Gloupe costs even more, and you can't even buy a Cosmos, so the market for this type of fx doesn't quite make sense to me. Which is weird, because the effect itself makes sense to me. Meanwhile, I see people write that the effect doesn't make sense to them, but they're buying I immediately anyway. So... yeah. I'll continue my search, and keep glitching the old fashioned way, until the right pedal comes along at a reasonable price.

I wish I had friends at chase bliss😢
