Expression pedal update

[Dave_Parker]

What’s the latest?

[falkTX]

We have the enclosure done, kinda. One piece was not done in the same material as the other
So we sent both to the manufacturer with a detailed note on how we want things.
Mostly just waiting for that at the moment, before starting production batch.
At least it was that way when I visited the office, which was some weeks ago.

Thanks!

Hello @gianfranco,

this really looks promising!

Thank you and God bless, Marius

Hey @gianfranco I hear my native (Dutch) language in the video, funny! I expected German. Way off topic though.

[gianfranco]

We have strong Dutch connections

Another small update, we have the very first unit assembled now

After the new samples arrived we are slowly starting to prepare for production. There are still some small things to be sorted on the enclosure here and there, and the device firmware needs some small tweaks to make things run perfectly smooth. Though everything major is in place now!

woah beautiful!

[Dave_Parker]

YES!!! Great news!

[dsorce]

I know every one is excited about the hardware BUT is there any news on the dev on the ModduoX expression input? Im guessing its being worked on at the same time

[Jan]

There certainly is! @falkTX has asked users a while ago if they want to participate in some pre release candidate testing in this thread.

To the people who replied there, we have recently released an early release with the CV in and outputs enabled (which includes the expression pedal mode). What we do not have in place yet is the assignment of CV signals to a control (this will not only allow the expression pedal to be assigned but also, for instance, CV lfo’s)

Since we are not only dealing with a new future here, but also with a new type of signal in our system, we want to make sure we get things right, which results in taking some extra care with the testing of things. If you want to participate please send @falkTX a message!

Hi!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!

[Dave_Parker]

This is in regard to the ModduoX, correct? Not the expression pedal?

[Jan]

yes it is, sorry if that was confusing!

[dsellin]

Very much looking forward to receiving this. Already getting a bigger physical pedal board for the Duo, Footswitch, and Expression pedal. Very tantalizing pictures!

Hi everyone

Hope you’re all set for the Christmas and New Year’s break. I am almost there

I wanted to share with everyone the latest developments and the status about the Expression Pedal.

As you can see on the teaser videos and images, we have an assembled unit at the office. This unit is almost entirely produced by our chinese metalurgy supplier. The rocking pedal itself is manufactured in Germany.

I sent one sample to China and the asked for a copy. If they managed to send me a perfect copy, I’d move on with production.

Here’s what I got back:

Impressive, isn’t it? So the production of the rocking pedal will happen in Germany.

I am sorting the surface finishing details so that we do not have discrepancy between the chinese parts and the german parts. We have a new german partner for assembly and they can handle the assembly and fulfilment process.

Production is happening in the following weeks and I’ll have the dates soon. It will largely depend on the capacity of the chinese to deliver before or after their New Year.

I’ll share more news as soon as I have them.

Wish you all a great Christmas and New Year!

Best wishes!

I see that Chinese New Year is Jan 25, but it’s just not a one-day thing, right? Sort like our Christmas/NewYears season here?

Indeed, I think it’s more like a week things, where many go back home.
