REmindEЯ is equipped with 8 “WORKING MODE”, they allow to change the audio flow within the Power Delay section, with the addition, replacement and cancellation of the input sounds, output sound and within the feedback of the Main Delay.
• Normal Mode • Manual Add • Manual Change • Manual Talk Over • Manual Fractionated • Auto Change • Auto Talk Over • Auto Fractionated
Each MODE is detailed in the videos available in the dedicated sections of this FAQ.
Unlike the NORMAL MODE, in this case the sound does not enter in the section Power Delay and then in repetitions until the "TRIGGER" button is pressed. By pressing the TRIGGER button in correspondence with another sound already within the repetitions, the new sound is added to existing sound within the repetitions.
Try it using the feedback in the position ∞ : insert a long input signal (in example a lead or a bass) and press the trigger button in a quick and rhythmical way for two or three times.
You will notice that the created repetitions follow exactly the rhythmic sequence realized by pressing the trigger button repeatedly.
Like in the MANUAL ADD mode, the sound does not enter in the Power Delay section and therefore in the repetitions until the "TRIGGER" button is pressed.
By pressing the TRIGGER button, in correspondence with another sound already existing in the repetitions, the new sound replaces the previous sound just in the moment when the TRIGGER button is pressed.
It can also be used to empty the sound of the repetitions, simply by pressing the trigger button in the absence of input sound, in this way the sound inside the repetitions is replaced by silence intervals.
By pressing the "TRIGGER" button, the sound of the repetitions is muted and it is possible to add new sounds going directly to the output without entering the POWER DELAY section.
When the button is released, the sound of the POWER DELAY repetitions becomes audible. Even with the TRIGGER button not pressed, the new input sound is not inserted into the loop.
Like the MANUAL ADD, the sound enters into the POWER DELAY section only when the TRIGGER button is pressed.
In this case, however, the length of the sound time is independent from the of TRIGGER button pressing time, it is a very short fraction.
By pressing it repeatedly, repeated and very short fractions are inserted inside the DELAY section.
The AUTOMATIC TALKOVER MODE is very similar to the MANUAL TALKOVER MODE but the trigger of the repetition mute function does not take place by the pressing of TRIGGER button, it is,instead, automatically recognized as soon as the input sound goes over the intervention threshold. The yellow led of the TRIGGER indicates when the sound has gone over the threshold.
Use this mode with sounds having starts and releases very short. The use with sounds having long tails may let the release threshold reached with big delay and so the desired result may not be achieved. The pressing of TRIGGER button allows the substitution of the sound inside the repetitions.
Like in the MANUAL CHANGE MODE, it is possible to substitute sound portions inside the repetitions, the substitution takes place as soon as the new input sound goes over the intervention threshold.
The TRIGGER yellow led indicates if the sound went over the threshold.
Use this mode with sounds having starts and releases very short. The use with sounds having long tails may let the release threshold reached with big delay and so the desired result not been achieved. The pressing of TRIGGER button allows the add the sound to the one already in the loop, instead of its substitution.
Like in the MANUALL ADD 1/4 , it is possible to add very short sound fractions inside the POWER DELAY sections.
The addition of the new fractionated sound take place every time a new sound enter in inpurt and goes over the intervention threshold.
REmindEЯ is equipped with 4 output channels. In order to take advantage of all the quadraphonic possibilities, you can assign different effects to different output channels. In the image below, we assigned the Double Pulse delay to channels 3 and 4.
The quadraphonic experience generated by REmindEЯ is so incredibly stimulating that it could soon become a standard for events.
Constant static noise or hum apparent in your monitors connected to REmindEЯ is often caused by a ground loop. A ground loop occurs when there are multiple paths to ground between two or more pieces of setup equipments. These paths create a loop which causes electrical interference in the form of an unwanted current through a conductor.
If REmindEЯ is connected via the USB port of a MAC / PC, in order to be sure that the static noise or the hum is caused by a Ground Loop, try to supply REmindEЯ through a POWERBANK with USB port or a wall power supply (like the smartphone charger).
If static noise or hum disappears, it means that the noise is caused by a USB GROUND LOOP.
If you are unable to find the source of the second path to ground in your setup, you can use a USB GROUND LOOP ISOLATOR that works to prevent audible ground loop issues.
