Hi,
I’ll check that. Maybe it’s linked to the OFFSET setting.
Try to set the OFFSET to one.
About the FREEZE, I’m thinking of adding more features on a future revision (available this year).
I was thinking of allowing some switches to be active when the freeze is on, like : twice the speed, half the speed, reverse/forward, half the size…
Don’t hesitate to share your ideas !
All the best,

Hi,
Is it an audio or a MIDI feedback ?
If it’s an audio feedback, it can be a problem with the audio interface or Ableton Live settings.
Try to send a sound to Biscuit from another output from your soundcard than the input (i.e. outs 3&4 and inputs 1&2).

Hi,
When BIM is synced with MIDI Beat Clock, the DELAY pot and the RANGE parameter cannot be modified.
When BIM receive a MIDI Beat Clock, it automatically change the DELAY pot position and the RANGE parameter to apply the correct delay time. The other CCs (pots and parameters) should work well.
If not, check the MIDI channel.
All the best,
Denis

Hi,
Timeline and Nemesis are a full digital DSP based unit, unlike BIM which is mostly an analog FX (the sound is converted in 12-bit only for the delay function, but input gain, compression, filters, feedback are full analog).
So we cannot modify the signal path with a firmware upgrade. It will need complex a hardware modification.
All the best,

Hi,
Did you try a system reset ?
Press ACTIVE and TAP switches while powering BAM.
Please tell me if it works.
The problem could also occurs with out of phase TRS cables (tip and ring inverted).
All the best,

Hi Matthew,
Biscuit have a small 8-bit microcontroller inside. It’s not powerful enough to do some frequency recognition necessary for sample tracking.
About a Biscuit guitar stompbox : I’m finishing BOUM at the moment, and I already have projects for 2017. I don’t have time to work on a guitar stompbox, sorry !
All the best,

Hi,
Unfortunately, the 4 new FXs from revision 1.2 have no CCs assigned.
It was a limitation of the Biscuit firmware space (I prefered to put more FXs but without MIDI control).
All the best,

Hi,
Did you try to engage the Local MIDI filter (page 30 of the User Manual) to avoid MIDI loops ?
All the best,
Denis

Thanks for the idea !
I will think of it, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to implement that.
BIM only accept Beat Clock for synchronisation.

Hi,
Next batch of BAMs is planned for mid-october (we should release the units at the end of september, but we need two weeks for testing and shipping).
2 others batches are already planned for 2017.
Thanks!

Hi,
The Note On message let you trigger the attack of waveshapers 6, 7 & 8, and select the transposition value of the pitch shifter (see pages 15 & 19).

Hi,

I will answer you soon about these bugs.
A new revision of BIM is planned for this fall with many bug fixes.

All the best,

Hi,

I’m sorry, I cannot give you a release date for BOUM.
I was not happy with the first prototype, and I had to start again the design from scratch !
More infos will be posted in the next months.

All the best,

Denis

Sorry for the late answer. I’m glad you got your BIM !

Hi,

Thanks for the work, great idea.
We have been asked for that inverted version few times, but never take the time !

All the best,

Denis
