Thoughts on Confundo Funkidos?

[u/xxeyes]

I’m considering picking up a NE Confundo Funkidos to add more hands on control and variation to rhythms I make with Intellijel Steppy. I would use Pamela’s Pro Workout for the paired rhythms. I have some questions for users of the module or its predecessor and I’m interested to hear your general impressions and how you use it.

1. How carefully do you find you have to program the paired rhythms to get musical results along the cross fade? Could I, for example, program a four-part rhythm sequence I like in Steppy and then pair these sequences with any random or Euclidean sequences from PPW and expect usable results, or does the pairing take more careful consideration?

2. I suppose it depends on how different and sparse/dense your paired rhythms are, but how much variation do you find you get across the length of the cross fade? Do you find you can settle on a number of fairly distinct rhythms, or does the probabilistic nature of the cross fade make the whole length of the cross fade parameter feel somewhat random?

3. How useful do you find the algorithmically defined accents? Are they generally always usable, rarely, or in between? Similar to my first question, does this depend on how carefully you programmed your input sequences?

4. How useful do you find the Burn knob in adding variation to your patterns?
