Old Blood Noise Endeavors Parting

Parting is a glitch pedal made in collaboration with Emily Hopkins. It combines chance-based delay or reverb, modulations, degradation effects, and randomized clock changes, to give pleasant surprises at each turn of a knob. Happy with many different signal sources, consider it your ready-made ambient texturizer.

For integration into many different rigs, Parting has:

• Stereo in and out with analog dry through
• Trails or true bypass switching
• Presets
• Expression control over every knob
• MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including MIDI clock in and out for external syncing

Controls

• Dissolve to degrade your signal with sample rate reduction, or send it in reverse with increasingly lo-fi clocks
• Rate, Depth, and Shape to determine the motion of the LFO
• Chance to set the chance a delay will happen
• Smear to diffuse the delay into a reverb
• Glitch to double or halve modulation and delay clocks, and allow this to happen randomly
• Time to set the delay time
• Filter to set the cutoff frequency of a post-delay filter
• Mix to set the overall mix
• Tactile switches to set modulation type (tremolo or vibrato), filter type (low pass or high pass), and mix type (standard or modified)
• Aux switch for tap tempo, half/normal clock, or preset switching
• Alt controls for LFO subdivisions, delay subdivisions, volume, and stereo modulation spread
• Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise
• For more information, see the Parting manual available here.

Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
