![]() ![]() ![]() We have all these LVX promotion vids and they are basically show off the same stuff, to different degrees. I would think it'd be one of parts of the LVX that at least a few would be excited about and showing off. Is that part of the pedal not entirely finished and needs a firmware update? Or maybe the people who got this are not really treating this as anything but a super Polymoon and ignoring it? Is it because those who got units were told by Meris not to showcase it (yet?)? Do those doing the demos not think it sounds good? Are they just too distracted with the other stuff in the LVX (kind of less of a good excuse for that given how long they've had these to demo/promote). And for some (what I think is getting increasingly weird) reason this hasn't really been shown off on the LVX. I've already preordered it but I'd really like to know if this could replace a Volante. I'm really into that idea, and Terry/Angelo (actually, Source Audio too- but differently bc they seem to curate and then offer expanding levels of chaos over the apps) are perhaps the only engineers that I've really seen be able to think creatively with both that left/right brain duality between the curated/open algo designs. I wonder if in the future Meris plans to capitalize on the two physical pedal structures a bit more: design the smaller pedals to be more curated and tight (ala Mercury7) and have a more expansive/open interface on the bigger layout pedals. ![]() The Enzo sort of occupies the opposite: it is almost Eventide complex but starts running short on control. It is more at the Strymon but with more options mod wise end of the continuum. The Mercury7 for example, I don't love its preset and midi issues (see all my other posts in this thread) but it is highly creative, powerful, and beautifully curated with very few lacks. And I think perhaps what I see as compelling going forward. The LVX is in some ways the throwing open of the "rack-level programming" flood gates in a more Eventide open-world concept than the highly curated world of the Strymon stuff. Meris has sort of occupied a middle ground where I have felt like at times they perfectly curate things and at other times apparent hardware (number of knobs, available to control necessary parameters) issues keep massively creative devices like the Polymoon and Enzo from easily "doing" what they clearly have the capacity to do. Meris and Source Audio sort of occupy a middle ground in that I find the SA pedals to be highly curated to sound good at almost all readily available settings but with huge ways to expand and mangle the tones if you plug in an editor. For a long time, I've felt that there was this huge gap between the Strymon tendency to curate every knob and possibility and the Eventide open flood gates of infinite but mostly unusable sounds. ![]()
