Yeah, the first 20-30 seconds of the video are the only part relevant to the issue.
I have two extra Hydra EEPROM and I swapped them when troubleshooting just to make sure it wasn’t a bad EEPROM.
If that’s just the way the heads normally work, I’m fine with it. I love the Hydra delay. I just...
The phantom head is just my term for a rest beat with the head off. Strymon calls the rhythmic bunching of repeats “golden” or “silver” spacing and it’s an adjustable with a knob on the Volante. It changes the behavior of heads significantly.
On the Volante heads 1 & 2 have even spacing on...
Ok, here’s the measurements:
Heads 1 & 2 ON with head 3 OFF:
Head 1 lug = 3.2
Head 2 lug = 3.2
Head 3 lug = 0.0
Heads 2 & 3 ON with Head 1 OFF:
Head 1 lug = 0.0
Head 2 lug = 3.2
Head 3 lug = 3.2
Discovered an interesting quirk about the delay. Head 1 & 2 have a phantom pause that sounds exactly like heads 2 & 3 when they’re on. Is it supposed to do that? Because that’s not how a true drum head would respond, right? All the other head configurations sound correct.
To further test this...
