Thanks to Empty Head Effects for sending out the Falling Man to check out: emptyheadeffects.com
The Falling Man embodies many things at once, a creative, dynamic modulator, a lofi delay, a noisemaker, a dive bomb machine & more, but what really makes the Falling Man special to me is the ability work its way in to a creative process and bring a new perspective with just a couple of tweaks to the controls.
Featuring control over delay time, combined mix/repeats and a control labeled "fall" that is where the magic of the Falling Man comes alive.
As you increase "fall" your input affects the delay time and pitch to an increasing degree, beginning with subtle fluctuations and modulation tones all the way to extreme dive bombs and everything in between.
