NoirBass Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1393582359' post='2382140'] It's been a great read so far Ste, keep it coming. Out of interest, have you ever tried pedals into iPad? Bass > pedals > sonic port > iPad app ? Do they play nice or just mess it all up? [/quote] Inspired by Ste's blog I've invested in a Sonic Port. I'm really impressed using it with my iPad 2 and Jamup. Its a massive step up from the IRig I had been using. I did also try it with my an octave and a filter in front - both worked very well, same as plugging into an amp I'm not a great fan of the Mutron III clone in Jamup, but the OC-2 clone is pretty good. My only problem with this setup is that I am getting the occasional click and pop, has anyone got any tips or settings that could help? Were it not for the above I'd be using it as my goto live rig.

tayste_2000 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Try closing all other apps abnd restarting the ipad to free up any memory. Make sure the amp is outputting to speaker not headphones and choose the lowest latency setting you can. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still getting the odd click having changed patch, but then it seems to settle and be fine. I still need to carry out further tests, I think it could still be better.

Prime_BASS Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well for me I'd make my patches and it'll be a set and forget job. My only issue that I could see is doing the drive I want, or getting the sort clean under dirt sound I get with the pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned off the ultra low latency and it's clean as a whistle. Many thanks sirs, I'm off to play. Has anyone any idea when the Positive Grid footswitch is to be released?

woodyratm Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Quite like the idea of this. However - I'm happy with my head and cab. I would quite like to use some of the more strange effects within my pedalboard... Presume you could run in/outs on the sonic port as per normal board? Can you disable the amp in some of these apps? Eg could I run Bass > Tuner > Octave > Fuzz > Sonic Port > Synth > reverb (for example)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
