    The knobs should just pull off upwards. They can be a bit stiff though.
  2. Quatschmacher
    Presume you mean “Musicman” as opposed to “musician”.
  3. Quatschmacher
    Does this have the metal shaft upgrade for the cutoff knob?

    To save yourself money and a headache, read the end of the manual for tested compatible interfaces as there are some that don’t work properly.
  5. Quatschmacher
    Yep, that will work nicely. You can flip between the two modes simply by either playing a midi note or by playing your instrument.

    The editor is a little different now, but more logical. Have a read of the manual. I wrote it in such a way as to hopefully be easily digestible and wrote a section on building sounds from scratch.

    I was very late to the party. It’s 1980s tech so pretty easy really. The format was, until very, very recently still on 1.0! It’s not as daunting as it might seem. Ask if you have questions.

    I also meant sending notes from the footswitches on the MC6 so you can play the foot pedals while still playing bass.

    Plus another 122 onboard presets if you hook it up to a controller.

    Reminds me, I must buy one again.

    Some great options out there. This isn’t the most versatile as there’s no direct control over cutoff frequency or envelope shape (unless you buy one of the opto mod cards to swap out) but it sounds lovely as is. The newest 3leaf Proton is worth a look. I’d still like to try out the Chromatron too. For bandpass and upsweep only, the MXR Bass Envelope Filter is brilliant and cheap.

    For those of you who do Facebook, I’ve set up an FI user group. I figured it might also pull in some other people who don’t use this forum. Please join and share: Log into Facebook | Facebook

    Have you tried sending notes from the MC6? Does your keyboard have a sequencer? You can trigger the FI with a sequencer too. An Arturia Keystep would be a good companion.

    I sometimes do.

    That’s what the cv input port is for - it allows you to adjust the gain knob remotely with an expression pedal when switch direction. (I originally thought it would function as a pedal wah but it doesn’t and Rand confirmed this to me in a Facebook livestream last week.) I agree, it’s an odd choice. Personally I would have left the up/down as a toggle switch and had the second footswitch activate a pedal wah like on the Xerograph and Wonderlove. And I’m still bummed that they didn’t include a band pass mix mode like on the QTron - absolutely essential for bass.

    The FI smokes the super synth, which doesn’t even have a square wave. Minitaur is phat. You might still find you need the Roland. Not all interfaces can handle the large amount of midi data. My Focusrite Scarlett is fine for patch creation, saving and general use but cannot handle the firmware updates or the process of writing 99 patches to the pedal.

    Nice. Make sure you order an interface to have ready for when it arrives. Roland UM-One MK2 is the most reliable.

    I've posted some lead sounds to the online database. Below is a sample. Enjoy!

    If anyone needs convincing of the power and versatility of this pedal, check out a bunch of clips of patches I’ve made:

    To get the best out of the pedal, you’ll need to get an interface to connect to your pc/Mac. I highly recommend the Roland UM-One MK2 as it’s one of the most reliable. About £25-35 new and essential for connecting to the editor for patch transfer/creation and firmware updates. @Jackemmings is yours on v3 yet?
  21. Quatschmacher
    This is correct. Furthermore, every unit should be updated to this version for maximum funkiness.
  22. Quatschmacher
    Do it, man; it’s the business.
  23. Quatschmacher
    There are also some amazing things you can do with the FI by sending midi messages from the ES8. In using a Morningstar MC8 to play five-note chords on my FI!

    @CameronJ, @AlexJMcGibbon?

    Done an attempt at the intro for Rush's Tom Sawyer as someone on TB was asking if it could be done:
