MOOD
Instant Ambience
Two channels of spatial chemistry.
MOOD is a different kind of multi-effect. Its two channels are aware of each other, and work together. One half samples and loops brief moments, the other is a suite of real-time spatial effects.
You can even spill audio back and forth between the two channels for endless shaping: Run a time-stretched loop through a cloud of delay taps, re-sample it, and carry on.
It’s a musical chemistry set. Transfer, combine, and get lost.

Stretch, slice, and dynamically control the ambience
Make sample rate a melodic element with the Clock knob.
Musical clock. Probably the knob you will use most.
Clock controls the sample rate of both channels. Adjusting it shifts everything in harmonized steps, so you can instantly half-speed a loop and the reverb it’s being processed by. We left some pretty extreme settings in there, with noise and artifacts spilling through.
Micro-looping
MOOD features an always-listening looper. It’s a bit like fishing for music: The channel is continuously recording until you turn it on, and then you see what you get. Instant gratification.

Spatial effects
The wet channel is a twist on the familiar ambient palette. Reverb descends into frequency-shifting at a turn of a knob, skipping doppelgängers emerge from the auto-sampling Slip mode.

Routing
Each of MOOD’s channels has its own unique way of acting on the other. The micro-looping channel hears the effects from the wet channel, and captures them within its loops. In return, you can then send those loops back through the wet channel for further processing.
Expand and integrate
MOOD features advanced connectivity and customization options including MIDI, CV and Expression control, presets, and internal modulation of any or all its knobs.

When I turn the Clock knob down the pedal is very noisy. Why is this happening?
We've given MOOD a very large clock range, because sometimes a little noise is useful. This is normal. Aliasing and noise will begin to become more present at 8k and lower on the Clock knob.
Why are my loops muted for a moment when I turn on the delay?
What you’re hearing is a brief pause while the delay records the audio from the microloop. The reason you hear silence at this point is because the mix is always set to 100% when you route a microloop through the wet side of MOOD. The length of the pause is equivalent to the delay time.
Why can't I get my MOOD to sync to MIDI clock?
MOOD does not support MIDI clock.
The microloop channel is quieter than the wet channel, is there a fix for this?
The level of the two channels is slightly offset by design. While you can’t adjust the balance between them, you can adjust the overall wet volume of MOOD by turning the trimmer closest to the footswitches clockwise.
