PEDALBOARD CONTEST: Best of 2021

hahaha really good.
I’m saving it on the requests for improvements on the WebGUI: aka “wild arrangement/organization possibilities” :sweat_smile:

Thank you so much, enjoy your Christmas season as well :love_you_gesture: :christmas_tree:

This pedal board is for if you feel like jamming, but you are stuck at home with no friends. There are 3 main signal chains. Drums, synth and guitar. The drums and synth are played with a sequencer, and then the player can improvise on guitar

Nice job – and a great name! :slight_smile:

Hello All.
I will submit the following two boards for this contest.

The first is “Practical”.

It can be found at

This board is created with the following restrictions.
1: No paid plugins will be used.
2: Use only Mod Dwarf (no additional Midi switches, etc.)
3: Be as responsive as possible to any situation.

Nothing special, but as you can see in the description of this board link, this board consists of snapshots of reverb, clean, drive, and lead.

In other words, this board was made with the intention that anyone who gets their hands on Mod Dwarf can immediately use this board in a session or live performance.

… I wasn’t sure if I should publish this board or not since it’s not interesting enough on its own, but I will.
The second one is “Let’s be Vtuber”.

In easy to say, this board is a voice changer.
The goal is to convert a male voice into a female voice in a more natural way. (And vice versa, of course).

In order to change the voice in a more natural way, I need to change the formant, but I haven’t figured out how to do that with the Mod Device yet.

Also, this board is not yet optimized.

For these reasons, this board is still in the process of being created, but I thought I’d post it in the hope that it might inspire some.

Since Mod Dwarf has an audio 2in2out signal, I would eventually like to build a board that can convert voice and process instrument signals simultaneously and play a song with the converted voice.

Also, sorry, I was too shy to include my own converted voice, so I didn’t create any audio clips for the board. So, It’s may not be eligible for this contest.

I hope this contest will be even more exciting.
Thank you.

This pedalboard tries to capture a very specific feeling. It’s a feeling which only a lucky handful of people will ever get to experience in their lifetime. It’s is the feeling of being surrounded by frogs.

Hej,

my entry to the contest is not a pedalboard per se but a toolbox - or more of a starting point for one. I hope most of the stuff will be addressed by the new blocks feature.

I always liked the pedals which combine reverb and delay or have multiple reverbs. You can get set up very quickly with just a turn of a few knobs and switches. Like the A+ Everest or the WAMPLER
Ethereal. My goal is to have a TouchOSC interface on my iPad that can control multiple pedals at once.

I’ve also made a quick video of the dwarf and some sounds that got me going. The Song (which is longer) and the video were an afternoon project and are still kind of rough.

I’m aware of it and remind myself yesterday.

Last week was a bit crazy and this one we are all kind of in holiday.
We have everything ready and the winner selected. If I have time I will still publish it today.

Thanks for the heads up :slight_smile:

Hey MOD Users! Sorry for the day of delay!

A big THANK YOU to all who submitted your brilliant and distinct Pedal Board contributions to our first MOD USER Pedal Board Contest. It was terrific to see such a positive response and the various unique approaches to the MOD System.

First off, we would like to recognize Sebastian aka “Spuknktsch” for the extra cool video he produced for his “ZUGSPITZER” Pedalboard toolbox that includes touch OSC. We were blown away by his extra effort in producing a video and will send him a coupon for 50 Euros for the pedalboard shop. Thank you for the inspiring work!

However, the MOD User who offered the winning Pedal Board this time around is “Rougheal”. We found his “MEGADRONE” creation to be exceptional for its imaginative use of the signal chain process and effects combinations. Classy stuff… The sound samples are wicked too! We hope these sounds make their way into your musical explorations and help you finish your work in progress. We cant wait to hear it…Congratulations on the great patching!

LieveDV also gets a shout-out for the hilarious X-Mas graphic using the MOD User Interface Graphics. It looks like your Dwarf ships very soon. Thank you for being such a good sport. We cant wait to see what your creative mind does once you get your unit…

We shall have a new contest each month with a different theme…

January 2022 is only a few days away so keep an eye out for the next contest announcement and have a Happy Healthy and Creative end to 2021!

Best wishes,
MOD Team

Thank you very much! I’m quite amazed! :star_struck: I didn’t think that I’d have any chance because there are so many amazing and complex pedadalboards around. Congrats to all other submissons, but I really would have liked to see more to cover more of the spectrum that Mod Devices offers.

I think the contest idea is interesting and I’m looking foreward to the next one! :wink:

Thanks to the Mod Devices Team for keeping up the good work!
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2022!

Greetings,

Roughael

Congratz to the winners! Initiatives that invite shared creations are the real value here so I call upon all of you to share your creations!

Thanks for the shoutout and actually using my christmas card on your Instagram :smiley: that recognition is an honor by itself.

My Dwarf appears to be waiting for me at my safe shipping location (aka my parents)

You can expect usable boards for guitarists (both acoustic and electric) but also singers. I haven’t seen much content about the Dwarf and vocals and since I’m a singing musician, this could be some extra content to convince the extra customer :wink:

Whoop!

Super neat OSC interface and great sound. Well-deserved coupon. :slight_smile: That was an awesome video, @spunktsch.

(I’m still dreaming of those socks. Why in the bloody hell don’t they make fancy socks for people with 49-sized feet (13 US)? Do they think we big-footed blokes are all forest ogres?)

Congrats @roughael, that board sounds really nice.

@jon thank you very much (again) - to you and all at the ModTeam.

I was kind of looking for a theme to start a YouTube channel and the dwarf has so much more potential then I initially thought - or thought I would need.

@QuestionMarc thank you. The socks were a gift and I only wear them on special occasions.

A proof that we should always give a shot :wink:

We would like it as well. But we are really happy with the results anyway. We decided to run this contest as a sort of test and quite honestly it exceeded our expectations. A really nice video from @spunktsch, really interesting pedalboards and covering already a nice spectrum of what is possible with the MOD platform…maybe we lack a bit of the synths side/users, but we understand. Next time if not more, let’s at least have the same…quality talking, it’s exactly there already :slight_smile:

We are super excited to check what you can get out of the Dwarf. If you manage to get that wonderful Christmas illustration out of the WebGUI we are sure that creative spark is not an issue for you :wink:

Please share it with all of us! And if you need some materials, help, or whatever from MOD side, we are happy to help :slight_smile:

I’ll be on the lookout for those!

I would love to adapt the Zugspitzer to a midi control surface. If I do I’ll post that.

If I had one of those, I’d have hung it for Santa. He saw my black stinky one and flew by without dropping anything! :expressionless:

Ciao
Falling Mask is a highly resonant synth trying to recreate the industrial / power electronics feedback patterns of the late 90s. Try changing patterns using button 1 which will act as a switch through the snapshots I have saved. Tweaking the parameters will give you a varied sonic palette for sound design.

be a little careful, play loud!
