Still waiting on the shipping notification. I ordered it pretty early on so I'm hoping I get mine soon

Made this handy MIDI controller plugin over the weekend for the new 'Bad Mood'. If you're a Bad Mood (or Mood Mk2) owner and you've never seen what sending the pedal MIDI clock can do as far as getting predictable and performative results from these pedals, I implore you to do so.

I was a little frustrated at first with the 'fixed' loop lengths for the micro-looper when using it standalone. It's super easy to make a really cool sounding loop, but if you're trying to incorporate those loops into an existing track or while playing with others, it's a bit fiddly and unpredictable. Not only that, but even with the Mood Mk2, I was always forgetting the 'hidden options' and getting to the dip switches isn't a breeze.

I found a user-created M4L MIDI controller a while back for the Mood Mk2 (which is actually based on the official 'Generation Loss Mk2' M4L device found on the Chase Bliss site) and that solved all of my gripes!

Now that the Bad Mood has arrived, I figured I should get my hands dirty and pay it forward. This was a personal project, and a ton of credit should go to Indra Perkasa who created The Original Mood Mk2 Device.

Updates include:

• New modes added
• New controls added (EQ, EQ Routing, Glue, Cross, Cross Input)
• Radio Station control (in 'Radio' mode, dial directly to the 5 stations with no static in between)
• Updated new time divisions and dipswitch controls
• Added to and refined the segments of the manual (found in the 'Info' tab when hovering over a control)
• A stylish new look!

Anybody got experience with having used both? I have heard that OB is good for use with all kinds of instruments whereas AM is mainly useful with guitar, but I don’t know if this is true. I would be using mainly with drums and synths. Thank you!
