Alright! Here's more detail on what's going on. No processing apart from cutting out the boring parts of my "jam". No overdubs and no pre-prepared samples (except the high pitched note in sound #1, it was recorded just before the audio starts, but then I messed up so I cut that part :') ).


The pedals used in this are:
Left: Xotic EP Booster > Zoia > Digitech PDS-2000 > Fairfield Modele B > Tensor
Right: Ibanez GE-7 > Zoia > Montreal Assembly Count to Five> SS/BS Mini > Boss PS-3

I'll try to explain the patch on the Zoia first, it's the same in every sound. 
It basically has two "modes", one in which a LFO triggers the PDS-2000 and two pitch shifted loopers that are going into heavy reverb. And another one where the rate of the LFO becomes 0 and everything stops except the loopers that keep what they had in their buffer.

With that being said, I can explain what's going on in the first sound (0:00). The PDS-2000 has the high pitched sound recorded as a sample. For some reason I can't explain (more in the reddit post), its pitch glitches out and warbles. What I'm doing is plucking arpeggios while switching the two "modes" of the Zoia patch. The Zoia and PDS-2000 are doing the heavy lifting here. The Tensor on the left side also gives some nice quirky glitches to the whole thing. The rest of the pedals are only there to give some flavour.

Sound #1
Left: Xotic EP Booster > Zoia > Digitech PDS-2000 > Fairfield Modele B > Tensor
Right: Ibanez GE-7 > Zoia > SS/BS Mini > Boss PS-3

The second sound (1:20) is the same patch, but always in the first "mode" of the Zoia and with the PDS-2000 in delay mode (in this mode the trigger doesn't do anything). You can really hear the pitch warble of the PDS in this one and the next. Same signal chain as sound #1 except for the tensor.

The third sound (2:33) reintroduces (set as a weird slowed down detune). Most of the glitching is the PDS-2000, the Tensor was set pretty "chill".

The fourth sound (4:15) has the Ct5 on the right set as a kinda bassline following the input. The PDS-2000 is set to a longer delay time.

These are the first few sounds I recorded with my new N-TET Polyphonic Microtonal Sampling Keyboard kinda patch :)

It's inspired by the Casio SK-1 and Christopher H.M. Jacques' Sampoly, but with a twist! The notes don't have to be divided in the regular 12-tone equal temperament (12TET aka 12EDO). 

With a press of a button, you can choose between 
Bohlen Pierce (146 cents per step)
5TET (240 c/s)
7TET (141 c/s)
9TET (133 c/s)
10TET (120 c/s)
12TET (obviously 100c/s)
15TET (80 c/s)
19TET (63 c/s)
23TET (wack shit, 52 c/s)
24TET (quarter tone scale, 50c/s)

It has 4 voice of polyphony. Mono.

It also has ADSRs, mod wheel controlled filter with resonance (1:02),  Aftertouch controlled pitch bend (1:27) and a reverse mode (1:39)


In this little demo, there's only one sample being used, the first loop you hear (0:00-0:06). It's played clean, no pitch shift and no fancy stuff is happening to it.

The middle part wasn't meant to repeat... sorry!
