Boss Poly Shift XS-1 and XS-100 Official Thread™ With Video(s)

big fan of these

@Baba a lot of people would just have 2 pedals one for each direction. the poly pitch stuff in helix is great but takes up sooooooo much dsp
 
Hate to be that guy……..


But does it Djent ?????

Poly capo (among a few other HX stomp fx) are live set critical to me… been considering abandoning the L6 architecture and this is a significant lynch point for me that this product might be able to fulfill…..
 
I definitely going to try one of these 👌

Fwiw, if they manage to shift more or less complexed chords (such as 4-part 7th chords and such) without warbling (which is really, really obvious with pretty much anything I've tried so far) and at really low (like pretty much non existant) latencies, I'm defenitely interested.
Fwiw, I don't mind if there's a little tone coloration, but that warbling stuff is just driving me bonkers. Same with latency.

True, but I’m only using my Stomp for fx right now, so I can fit the poly capo plus 7 other blocks.
 
I wonder if this provides anything different then my fractals? Do I need it?

My local store Specialty Traders has them now! GET THEM!


XS-100 on the way :pickle:satan
 
Oh yeah, 13.6ms - that's pretty good.

Good in comparison to the other contenders, maybe. Overall still horrible.
I mean, people are getting all anal about how their modeler introduces 3ms of RTL instead of 6 or whatever - but when a pitch shifter comes into play, a multitude of that is all of a sudden no issue at all anymore. Weird.

It’s OK if you are blending the dry signal with the shifted because as a player, the lag won’t throw your timing off, and the delay also adds to the effect.

For purely shifted, it could start to impact your playing, especially paired with other digital components and a wireless that push the total lag time up more.

With a unit such as this, the main purpose is to use 100% wet signals, though. At least that'd be it for me.

With the 3-5ms RTL of my main rigs, this would push me almost to 20ms. No thanks. Could get away with it for the odd special FX thing, but playing an entire song through that would make me cringe.
