Seems that it is only stereo, apologies for the oversight! Answer from manufacturer pending. But you're right, it's hard to really tell with of the info he wrote on Modulargrid indeed. In the meantime, have a look at what I got by changing my prompt just below that?I believe the Mimosa MK2 doesn't have quad-channel inputs.
Hmm yes that's right lol, hey lucky I did mention it was a garbage box responding.Probably better not to paste straight out of an LLM unless you're going to double-check it's correct. There's very little reason to expect an AI model to accurately report specs for a somewhat obscure eurorack module.
Got another response from the "o1-preview" however it seems to be also biting the carpet relatively often, making the job a tad tiring. Anyhow here's what it said:
Key Differences
Saturation Circuitry:
Mimosa Mk2: Uses a standard diode configuration in its saturation circuit.
Mimosa 8 Mk2: Employs an array of eight diodes, affecting the way the signal clips and the types of harmonics generated.
Harmonic Content:
Mimosa Mk2: Produces a certain warmth and coloration typical of diode-based saturation.
Mimosa 8 Mk2: Generates a more complex harmonic profile due to the eight diodes, resulting in a distinct sonic character.
Sound Character:
Mimosa Mk2: Offers a classic saturation effect suitable for general enhancement.
Mimosa 8 Mk2: Provides a unique saturation flavor, potentially more aggressive or rich, depending on the diode configuration.
Intended Use:
Mimosa Mk2: Ideal for users seeking traditional saturation to add warmth and subtle distortion.
Mimosa 8 Mk2: Suited for those looking for a different saturation texture with enhanced harmonic complexity.
Clarification on the "8"
The "8" in Mimosa 8 Mk2 refers to the eight diodes used in its internal saturation circuit.
It does not indicate the number of inputs, outputs, or channels.
Both modules are designed for stereo processing, handling two channels (left and right).
Summary of Differences
Circuit Design: The primary difference lies in the internal circuitry—standard diodes versus eight diodes—which influences the saturation characteristics.
Sonic Outcome: The Mimosa 8 Mk2 offers a different tonal palette due to its unique diode arrangement.
User Choice: Selection between the two depends on the desired saturation effect and tonal qualities for your audio signals.
Sending another email to Ivan in order to double check (I won't mention the AI cheat sheet with him)
That's the kind of gear I used to work with, similar to the Rocktron innit. Not in a place to be helping you there but my question back to would perhaps be: What makes you having any doubts in the equipment you're using?Wow. This thread is making me re-evaluate my Culture Vulture Super 15... any thoughts on what I may be missing? (aside from eurorack/size)
Here is what came through your question forwarded and expanded, to Ivan regarding the type of tubes, hope it'll cover it, in the event you'd take what he says for granted:I have the Mimosa, not really feeling it tbh, for those that have this module can you check or post a photo of the tube that came with the module? Mine came with a Tungsram ECC82
Q:
Can I please get a clarification on the following question regarding the type of tubes used on this module?
A user, on this post, has disclosed some concerns since it appears that his unit does not seem to really delivering happiness, according to him.
"I have the Mimosa, not really feeling it tbh, for those that have this module can you check or post a photo of the tube that came with the module? Mine came with a Tungsram ECC82"
Can you either just respond to me about this or either on the post itself?
R:
you can use any tube 12au7, ecc82
Q:
And there is no difference in the sound you're saying?
R:
there is a difference, but it is related to the years of production of the tubes
Q:
Yes, like the long plates, black grey etc. But the sound would not be disappointing from a 12au7 and a ecc82 you're saying, is that right?
R:
No
