MOOD MKII - Synth Mode

[@harrisonbreshears4324]

The fact that this is only one function of a much deeper pedal (or should I say instrument?) is absolutely nuts. Way to go, Chase Bliss!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Oooh the live sequenced reverb is wildly inspiring

[@historicallyinaccurate]

No one in the game is as innovative as Chase Bliss. Joel and the team are killing it.

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

thank you ❤

[@stephenbeyer]

I’ve always wanted to get more into synths. MOOD MKII is a great reason to finally do it! 💜

[@HarryFullerCT]

The gift that keeps on giving. So happy I picket up a Midibox.

[@danpechacek3855]

So. Dang. Good. Conceptually I knew this would be cool, but had no idea how fully featured!

[@oliverhorton8983]

blown away, this is ground breaking pedal making!

[@JarneBaugnee]

12:26 sounds amazing jesus christ.

[@dougtolley]

I don't think I am speaking out of turn when I say that this is such a fucking clever idea. You floor me every time Chase Bliss

[@PedalPlayhouse]

Seriously everytime I see a demo or someone using it I’m like it does WHAT now?! 🤯 just wow

[@dougtolley]

@@PedalPlayhouse incredible

[@castle6660]

Knobs is obviously making Chase bliss videos now lol LOVE IT

[@MichaalHell]

These demos are so awesome!

[@athomeontwo]

Dipping its toes in Zoia’s ocean. It will be fun to see where this will fit in around the Zoia in my signal chain

[@truecuckoo]

What the heck! 😍💖😌

[@unicornyoho]

Ok, so this is kinda blowing my mind.... Now I just need to figure out how to do it myself. ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican

[@random_fat_guy]

I may not see myself using newer Chase Bliss stuff (I have an old Gravitas which I like very much, btw), but boy, am I glad that it exists. It makes me so damn happy. I don't know why exactly, but it really does. It's like these pedals make the world a better place by just being here. Please never stop doing what you're doing, Joel. You're awesome

[@NCheno]

I knew the capabilities of the keyboard playability was going to be excellent but this is so far beyond my expectations it boggles the mind! Thanks for making such fun noise boxes! Excite for mine to arrive!

[@JoelLinus]

Really good Video, it's been a long time since a production surprised me. Keep up this originality for the future as well, I think it'll serve everyone and your channel greatly.

[@elementlab41]

Most amazing pedal ever. Would we need to use Arturia's Midi Control Center to setup the Keystep 37 or is plug and play? Thanks for this amazing box of magic.

[@Axiohm000]

Plug and play

[@music4screens]

This pedal is massive!!!

[@jesseasch-ortiz6136]

When this started I was like, "cool that's what my Casio from the 80s can do.." and then I was like "oh..OH!!!"

[@auctor11]

You made me love something that I already loved ❤

[@ghostandtapeDoesVideo]

If I could suggest two things for a possible third edition of this already AMAZING pedal it would be; 1) add send and return jacks so only micro loop could be processed with other effects, 2) let people choose between the Tape Length behavior from Mood 1 and the new type. Personally I feel its the only point where Chase Bliss missed out, the old Tape stutter effect with Length knob was awesome

[@dougc84]

hell yeah, shout out to metta devices! they're rad. i bought their kalimba and used it on my last album.

[@BishopEddie5443]

Truly an Artists Palette!

[@musicalstatues73]

I wasn’t ready for this 😮

[@patrickr6505]

Wow..this is mind-blowing...Are Chase Bliss running a diploma course in Mood 2 modules?😃

[@jaysgood10]

Let’s not get all wet here kids. Realize the mood ll is basically freezing a sound and midi is doing all the heavy lifting. Not to mention the talent behind the camera.

[@RustyTonesJr]

Ok. This is next level.

[@aaronmeagher561]

Honestly game-changing.

[@biggrime]

Sound designers dream

[@Worshipplayer777]

This is amazing! Is it possible to program the arpeggiator function within the Morningstar stuff?

[@tylermarshall6180]

The melodies during the "sequencing a frozen sound" part are just gorgeous. Any chance that's part of a whole song?

[@JohnnyADi]

So sad to know there won't be another pedal for so many months, but also nice to know theres a reason they take so long to develop, because they are so incredibly beautiful. Stereo and has a synth mode.

[@MrKrisstain]

Cant wait for Blooper version 2!

[@Jamooshoe]

Yes please

[@vilches6996]

You guys, create a monster!

[@saysheate197]

This is amazing

[@stefanpomplun3348]

This is amazing!

[@Winterdagen]

I love this soooo much!

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

Very cool! Can't wait to try it out!

[@yuzupeelmusic]

Didn't know I was buying another synth! How disappointed will I be if I don't get a midibox?

[@GTChris]

So this is how the entire N64 line of Zelda OST's was made🤔

[@framlucasse]

I wait for mine, hurry please! 😄

[@mulu722]

Crying waiting for mine to ship

[@odizouu]

Love this! Would it be possible to control and recall presets with the Morningstar but control and play the synth mode with a midikeyboard at the same time?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Yup! As long as your Morningstar unit has a MIDI Out port that can pass along the notes from the MIDI keyboard

[@warpedspaces2561]

That's gotta be fireghosting right? I can't imagine anyone else making this!

[@quentindraws2792]

it is! they should put who made the video in the description, not everyone can guess and it would help to discover them :)

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

@@quentindraws2792 Yup, it's fireghosting. And you're right, I'll add a credit.

[@nicolasdkp9602]

sounds like Daedelus, to me...

[@kmo2370]

Hi! Thanks for this video! I have one question. Does using TRS to 5 pin midi cable to connect Mood MK2 to Keyboard also work?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Depending on the MIDI device. Some will work, some won't. It is recommended to use a MIDI Box to ensure compatibility with all MIDI devices.

[@mrblablablabla]

Just… 🤯

[@chrismillett]

🤯🤯🤯

[@reedl2353]

I am not a synth player and I am kinda baffled by a lot of this, but it feels like a peek into a wider, and totally amazing, world. This is a secondary function?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Absolutely. Was a fun mode to add, but not the primary function of the pedal.

[@sabamacx]

...I think you have outgrown the form factor.

[@BobCharlotte]

Really informative and interesting video... lots to discover. Could it be possible to connect the Keystep (Pro) to Mood with a MIDI - TRS cable instead of the Midibox? Thanks!

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Yes, but be sure to leave the Tip floating and wire it Ring Active. If you have any further questions, hit up [e-mail]

[@BobCharlotte]

@@ChaseBlissAudio I guess you mean I need a diy cable? Thanks for the reply!

[@GodDoesntCry]

So I only have the Keystep 32, which doesn't have that middle CC controller thing, is that gonna be a problem or am I worried about nothing? Awesome feature lol

[@GodDoesntCry]

Oh wait nevermind, for anyone else wondering, you can change the individual CC parameters on the Keystep 32 as well, just in a computer software instead of the middle rotary knob section, so if I'm right then everything should still be possible on the 32 key original as well :)

[@KodyXXVll]

do you need a midibox if you're just syncing it at the end of a midi chain? can't I just use a 5 pin to TRS adapter cable, or an 1/8 inch TRS to 1/4 inch TRS adapter? thanks.

[@GirlfightClub]

WUUUUUT??? 🙀

[@PabloOrtegaMusic]

I just tried the synth mode and while it is totally cool, it seems to work a bit temperamental. Some notes latch and keep playing, some others don’t. It is a bit random, it reacts a bit flimsy. I am using a CBA MIDIbox and a Sequential Take 5.

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

That shouldn't be the case, shoot us a note! [e-mail]

[@PabloOrtegaMusic]

@@ChaseBlissAudio Thanks for the follow up! I just sent my pedal to repair (due to other issue), I'll check it out when it arrives back!

[@positivebacteriaculture]

Do you have to use the midi box or is there a midi/trs cable that works?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

You don't use a MIDI Box (Chase Bliss, Disaster Area, or similar), but it makes hooking things up a lot easier. Disaster Area also makes TRS-5pin cables compatible with our pedals.

[@animamundi9652]

Daym.. one question, i think i only heard octave up pitch shifting, does it do -12 as well?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Yup!

[@PinkBoardProducts]

This is the only thing that is missing from the original and the only reason I would want to upgrade. When I can 💸

[@sph33_]

ok explain how to sync the op-1 and MOOD to me like I'm 5 . . .

[@robertgray4904]

Is it possible to just use a USB-C to midi din into the midi box and then a trs cable into the mood to bypass the need for the keystep?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Yep! Keystep is not necessary. Any device capable of sending MIDI note information should work, whether that be from a MIDI keyboard, or from your DAW, etc.

[@NickKizirnis]

!!!!

[@quantum_ocean]

I"m so confused. Where does the guitar sound come from?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Synth Mode works kind of a like a sampler. The input from the Guitar is "captured" by MOOD, and then manipulated to change pitch by MIDI keyboard input.

[@tokiboi6777]

Sorry, but I really don't get half of this. Especially the DAW part.

[@kokomanation]

Is this available on the market now ?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Yep! You can place an order directly from chasebliss.com

[@kokomanation]

@@ChaseBlissAudio Thank you !!!

[@kenschestok9515]

jimminey crickets stop trying to steal my money! I already am way behind on getting your pedals as I have "sworn off" buying new pedals instead buying eurocrack modules... but this one as well as like the last 5 pedals you all have put out are going to send me to the poor house

[@Bybizarrehands106]

Do I have to use a MIDI box, I have a Boss MIDI to TRS cable?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Our pedals do not follow any TRS MIDI standard, so standard 5pin - TRS cables usually won't work. For the most hassle-free setup, we recommend using a MIDI Box. If you want to use a single cable, make sure it is wired for Ring active with a floating Tip. If you have any further questions/concerns reach out to [e-mail]

[@Bybizarrehands106]

@@ChaseBlissAudio Hi. I cannot find a Chase Bliss MIDI box in the UK, does the Empress work with Moods MK2? Many thanks

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

@@Bybizarrehands106 You can order a MIDI Box direct from our webstore. chasebliss.com/utility The Empress MIDI Box will work, but you'll need a TS-TRS cable wired Tip - Ring and Sleeve - Sleeve (leaving the Tip on the TRS unconnected)

[@romoloborra]

Are these possible with the mk1?

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

This is a new feature only in MK2

[@jaysgood10]

I’m a gonna take the guts outta mood ll and put them into mood l case. Like it better.

[@Matt-mk8ph]

Meh. I am okay with the original. I'd pay for an upgrade, but not an entire new pedal.

If you had it for an hour to tinker with.. trust me, you would buy it in a heartbeat..it's magical and is almost limitless..
