Hello everyone!
Just wanted to show my new creature.
I have made a Meatball clone for a friend of mine (McMeat layout) and he was interested in Z.Wex Ooh wah. I thought it would be much more useful to make just the "LFO" generator and feed it into Meatball. This gives more features than regular Ooh wah.
Here's a little sample video. I have to admit - no guitar sounds in this video. Sound is created by a distortion pedal with feedback (the signal line is MT2-->TU2 -->Meatball while bypass output from TU2 goes to input of MT2)

Creepy sounds. Now, I know you said no guitar in this clip, but is it set up so you can run a guitar through it? If so, what's that sound like?
Ofcourse you can run guitar through it. Or vocals... or any other sound signal.
It's hard for me to make a video with guitar but you can search for Ooh wah demos in youtube - this does the same thing but with more filter adjustment possibilities.
Useless for "classic" styles like rock/metal/pop, but really nice tool for any experimental player.
The guy whom I made it is really happy with it. The only thing is - for playing live with band it's pretty hard to control it and adjust speed. So I have to make it "midi clockable". Hope to finish on this soon.
I did a little upgrade - now it has 16 steps and tap tampo feature.
Here it is with synth sound HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlKBuulAZ10)
And here it is with distorted guitar as input HERE (http://www.youtube.com/user/kratuli#p/a/u/0/mmj2nvjrMYo)
Videos have awfull sound and in no means I call it music. They are just to show how it works. However - beautiful music can be created with it.
