Its most obviously used for an arpeggiator type sound in the chorus of "These Adult Bones" on the band myspace. This also an amazing studio tool and we used it all over our album. Having this on a pedalboard/rack is kind of frustrating.

Drawbacks: The controls are very sensitive and if they get changed at all your original sounds will be wrecked. The Moog Murf can make some incredible arppegiator-like sounds that are unlike anything Ive ever heard. Theres a track called interloper on one of my music pages that highlights this glitchiness at I might try the Foxrox octave (forget the name) but it sounds like it will be maybe too accurate for my liking. People complain about it not tracking well and being glitchy, but thats what I like about it it's analog imperfection. I also have the Octave Miltiplexor that I got in hopes of it being similar to the micro synths octave down. I got a couple of cool sounds out of the HOG (mainly freeze-gliss sounds), but could not justify it for the price and real estate. If youd like to hear how Ive used the micro synth, check out the song "requiem" on my bands myspace (you have to scroll down on the player, as its the last song): We used the micro synth all over that song and actually all over the album for atmospheric sounds and fillers.Īs far as other pedals by EH, there are the pogs and hogs, but in comparison to the m-synth, those are horribly digital sounding. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to complaetely isolate the square wave and octave down(s) because it has probably the most interestingly fat octave down sounds Ive heard out of a pedal. The micro synth is fantastic for what it is.

Im constantly on the lookout for new synth/type pedals. Are there any pedals out there that do a similar thing to the filter sweep section of this pedal without the octave stuff? I wouldn't mind getting something like this instead so I can get a seperate octave pedal with poly mode.
