Meska Lets the Gotharman’s Tuul Off the Leash: Feedback Mayhem Unleashed

If you reckon feedback patches are just for the modular elite, Meska’s here to prove you wrong, mate. In this wild ride, our favourite dark-techno explorer from the statik collective wrangles the Gotharman’s Tuul into a feedback beast, layering FX like a BBQ stacker gone rogue. Expect chaos, surprises, and more sonic curveballs than a Melbourne weather forecast. Meska’s no-nonsense, experimental style is on full display—so grab a cold one and get ready for a patching adventure that’ll have your speakers sweating.

Tuul Tamed? Not Likely!

Meska kicks things off by showing just how easy it is to get the Gotharman’s Tuul tangled up in its own feedback web. With four channels at your disposal, each one can be set to feed off the output of another—like a pack of dingoes chasing their own tails. This isn’t your average polite FX box; it’s a platform built for chaos and creativity.

The Tuul’s flexible routing means you can whip up feedback patches without breaking a sweat or diving through endless menus. Meska’s approach is refreshingly direct, giving you the confidence to jump in and start making noise. If you’re after polite, sterile sounds, look elsewhere—this machine is all about getting your hands dirty and seeing what wildness emerges.

You can easily create some feedback patch with FX or things like that and you can obtain some really interesting sounds.

Building the Feedback Beast

The real magic starts when Meska patches up the first feedback loop. Channel 1 gets a chorus FX slapped on, then its output is fed right back into itself—classic feedback mischief, and the results are as unpredictable as a magpie in spring. By tweaking parameters like time feedback and depth, Meska dials in some seriously gnarly textures.

But why stop at one loop? With three more channels itching for action, Meska quickly expands the patch, stacking FX and routing outputs in ways that’d make a modular purist blush. Each step adds complexity, and before you know it, you’re knee-deep in a swirling vortex of sound design possibilities.

FX Frenzy: Chorus, Comb, and Granular Galore

Meska doesn’t muck about when it comes to FX selection. After the chorus, it’s time to throw in a comb filter on channel 2—cranking the mix and letting it chew up the feedback signal. Swapping in a phaser or all-pass filter is just a button press away, and each swap brings a new flavour to the sonic stew.

By the time granular processing enters the ring on channel 3, things are getting seriously wild. The Tuul’s FX engines are pushed to their limits, and the results are as unpredictable as an outback storm. If you want to hear just how bonkers it gets, you’ll have to check out the video—words can’t do justice to the glitchy, evolving madness on display.


Non-Linear Nonsense: Surprises Around Every Corner

Here’s where things get properly spicy. The Tuul’s channels don’t just stack neatly—they interact in weird, non-linear ways. Tweak a parameter on one FX, and the whole patch can spiral into new territory faster than a kangaroo dodging traffic. Meska highlights how even small changes can send the feedback loop into unexpected sonic territory, with each FX feeding off the others in unpredictable ways.

This isn’t just about stacking effects; it’s about embracing the chaos and letting the machine surprise you. The interplay between chorus, comb, granular, and reverb FX creates textures that are never quite the same twice. If you’re after repeatable, clinical results, you’ll be left scratching your head—but if you love happy accidents, this is your playground.

And as you can hear, we have some non-linearity here.

Go On, Give It a Crack Yourself

Meska wraps things up with a nudge to the adventurous: don’t just watch—get your hands on the Tuul and start patching. There’s a whole world of evolving textures and atmospheres waiting for anyone game enough to dive in. The video leaves plenty of tricks up its sleeve, so if you want to hear the full madness, you’ll have to give it a spin yourself. Just be ready for a few sonic wipeouts along the way!
