Darkglass Anagram - NAM profile player & multieffects unit

tbf, the Helix model of the B7K is pretty great

A bassist acquaintance of mine mentioned several times the model in his HX Stomp sounds just as good as the pedal.

The latency probably has a lot to do with their use of Linux. It can be decreased with more effort but ultimately you have an OS with buffers.

Beh, that's 100% on the implementation. Embedded Linux can even support real time applications out of the box, if I/O timing is critical.

Not surprising given the Mod Duo DNA.

This isn’t complete nonsense, but I imagine with a minimum of effort you could get it the rest of the way there.

Entirely fair, though I do think the point still stands if you’re wanting any of their other offerings. :)

They just gotta hit the turbo button and it'll double the giggawattz

Well, today is day 2 of its release, in the upcoming months they will have many FW updates, i trust me, this will be a guitar product also.

You have a level of faith that is nice to see, but is complelty unknowable :)

6ms for the loop seems a bit much?

Quite normal. 3ms for one ADDA cycle isn't particularly low but not particularly high, either.

Stick a Digital device in that Loop and you will easily hit around ~10ms .... not horrendous but far from great.

Latency:

empty chain: 3ms
1 NAM profile: 3ms
2 NAM profiles: 3.1 -3.2 ms
2 NAM profiles + 1 NAM profile in parallel: 3.1 - 3.2 ms
FX loop engaged: 6ms

And the null test results to see how close the Anagram is to the NAM software - I'm guessing a separate video :)

He needs to milk this for as many clicks as possible.

I don't know. At that price point, you might as well get a powerful notebook + a good audio interface + a MIDI controller, and easily run multiple NAM instances using Kushview’s Element. Besides, all the bundled digital Darkglass slop does little to make the unit more appealing.

Which is one of the reasons why I really like my current main setup. Even with 3 complete ADDA cycles in series, RTL is at around 3.5ms. Quite amazing, really.

Not familiar with ^this^.

=> does it run NAM full/standard Captures natively -or- does it do some internal "conversion" to run them ?

=> I know its interface dependant, but is it stable at ultra-low latencies ie: 16 smaples / 32 samples ?

Well, using a laptop live isn't even remotely as trivial as it may seem (at least for guitar players). "Where to place it?" being *the* all important question. These things don't even stand a beer shower, no, even just a bit of drizzle may just kill them.
Also, I know plenty of folks using modelers live enjoying the "pedalboard is all you really need" environment as much as I do. Not possible with a laptop, either.
And fwiw, yes, I've been there already. Still considering to try it again one day, but those two things are keeping me away.

It's a plugin host. So you can run any amount of any quality NAM captures.

Looks like its -not- iPad [PadOS] compatible ?
