Firmware 3.0 is here!

Can I end my work day now?

Hey ! First of all thx Chase Bliss & Knobs for Blooper wich is an amazing musical instrument, and thx even more for adding new feature. Nonetheless i have some questions concerning the new modifiers "weird effect" on stability, especially with stretcher and pitcher :

​

Is it normal that when you tweak these two modifiers it has an effect on the stability noise ?

​

~ When you go counter clockwise with stretcher, the stability noise become more "thin" and "high pitched" and clockwise it gets darker like if the highs from the stability noise were cut.

~ With pitcher, it does the same thing but inversed (clockwise : thinner and high pitched, counterclockwise : darker, low pitched)

​

It feels like, if the modifier and stability were on an effect chain, it would be : stability then stretcher/pitcher. It would make more sense that stability goes after the modifier. It adds an aging tape sound to your overall loop (processed by the modifier or not).

Like it is now, it makes the stability be affected by the modifier, it is not the case with the speed modifiers (or any others) wich could apply the same "logic" described here.

What is great with stability, is that you can give a "warmth" feeling to a heavily processed loop, it makes everything sound less "digital", it gives a texture that unify all the differents elements from a loop. I don't know if it's a bug but it's kind of a bummer that with stretcher and pitcher it's impossible to keep that. Like have a full stretched loop with an unafected stability noise.

​

I hope that my feedback was clear (english is not my native language).

Again, thanks a lot to chase bliss & knobs for this amazing device <3

edit : i tried to superpose stretcher with speed and it doesn't work : speed does not change but the stretched loop is reversed when speed is counterclockwise. I tried to superpose two other modifiers that play with the speed and pitch to compare : there no problem in superposing pitcher (in mod b) with speed (in mod a). I checked the new manual I think the modifiers superposition problems mentioned here are link to processing needs with pitcher & stretcher.

Wowsers. Nice update and the documentation upgrades are huge. Thanks!

Hey u/knobs_demos. Fist off, thanks for all of your work on making this such an incredible pedal. The firmware updates are SO appreciated!

I wanted to ask about the chromatic pitcher. It doesn't step in tune and I'm wondering if this is something that can be addressed. A couple of the intervals are really close but several are quite far off from pitch. I'm also noticing that when attempting to jump to a pitch via midi, there are missing pitches. 95 may be the original pitch then 96 may be 2 notes up etc.

I've got a big problem on my pitcher smooth :( 12 o clock is not neutral the neutral position for pitcher smooth is about 3 o clock its in my a bank

Hey,

In case anyone else experiences this, I thought I'd post my experience of uploading v3.0. No panic, I'm all updated now (and the new modifiers are fantastic) but it wasn't a straight forward process for me. Running Chrome on a PC, with the driver running and connected to blooper, I pressed the update button and the download proceded to the 100% mark ....then Blooper disconnected and the 'ready' message changed to 'not connected'.

To recover I tried a number of things, like power cycling blooper and refreshing the web page ... all things led back to a connected blooper and a message to update to v3.0. I updated chrome, updated the driver, tried multiple times but with the same result.

This morning, I tried again and had the crazy idea to just ignore the apparent upload failure, reconnect after the upload, and assume that v3.0 uploaded ok ..... it had, and I've been having new-modifer based fun ever since.

It was probably me just being brainless, but it occurred that others might reach the same conclusion as I under the same circumstances .... hence the post

Happy blooping, and thanks for a fantastic update :)

This really makes my day! What a surprise. Will be busy this evening! 😂
Such a cool pedal, it is so inspiring. Thank you Chase Bliss and Knobs! 👍 👍

Something to do tonight

This is insane. Can't wait to dig into it

“SIRI CANCEL ALL MY APPOINTMENTS!”

Seriously though, can’t wait to get home, you all rock.

Simply elegant how you have done this. Very very nice update! As well as the documentation. Thanks for continuing to support blooper !

Could you make a modifier like stepped speed except its in 4th and octaves instead of 5ths and octaves for the next update

The firmware is great news, but it almost eclipses what an amazing accomplishment the documentation/guide website is. You have a beautiful, incredibly useful site there, which is not praise I give lightly, since I'm a curmudgeonly, jaded web developer. :)

Thank you so much. You've really been so kind to all of us Blooper fans. Cheers!

Great update but BRING OUT THE BUG SPRAY!!! <3 Streatcher takes control of all my other pitch modifers. No pitch shifting allowed while it’s activated. And it affects the stability noise as well. :(

😦 good job all. Amazing.

What a wonderful surprise!

Thanks, you guys, for your continued work on this insanely deep pedal. I now have problems deciding which modifier to put on my pedal... can't have them all now!! #firstworldproblems

Really great work! This thing was already the best looper I've ever used and you just keep making it better. These new modifiers are excellent!

These are amazing updates. Thank you for continuing to invest time and resources into this pedal and the blooper community.

So good! Thank you!
