Glad it was useful, it really is an awesome resource and fun. Envelopes on C4 are not true ADSR, rather a set of pre-defined shapes where you can alter either the attack, the decay or both via the envelope speed knob. The sensitivity knob adjusts how much envelope depth reacts to playing dynamics. The filter depth knob controls how much the cutoff is affected by the corresponding envelope. Frequency moves the starting cutoff value.

Are you familiar with synthesis to any degree already? If not, check out the following link and it should make the editor make more sense. https://learningsynths.ableton.com Glad you’re enjoying the patches. Check out the Spectrum patches too as they work on C4. Also, remember to adjust the input knob on any user patches you click on to set the correct level for your bass; the manual tells you how to do this properly.

Just posted some new patches.

What improvements were those?

@dodge_bass, @thisisswanbon, here is my tutorial patch: https://neuro.sourceaudio.net/preset/DyV1RQhBhF

Start by browsing the user patches. Remember to readjust the input knob and volume knob for each one before you assess its suitability. (See the manual to see how to set the input level correctly.) I posted some Filter Twin patches already you can search and filter by keyword, pedal type and user so you should be able to find them. Search for C4 (with compatibility box ticked), my username and keyword “twins”. As regards learning, I put together a patch which is set up to help users explore the features. In the patch’s description the is a link to a post on Talkbass where I wrote a mini-tutorial. I’d suggest looking through that. ( @dodge_bass, it might be worth your while too.) I can’t remember what I called the patch but it will be obvious when you see it. I’ll have a look and amend here and link to it.

You can easily sequence the future impact with a cheap sequencer or a daw.

It does have a single loop. You can have two separate EQ stages at any point in your signal chain. It’s very powerful.

Not sure yet. To be honest, might be easier to do from scratch. Do you know of an isolated bass part? Would be easier to work from.

Pretty sure the FI could do that. Doesn’t sound like an FM patch so should be doable.

OC-2 is a classic, and those Boss expression pedals are solid. I only got rid of mine as I needed something which did 5V (mine was 3.3V). Touché! Actually the only one not seeing much action is the Wombtone on mine, mainly because I need to buy a longer TRS cable to hook it up to my MIDI controller. What is the laminator-looking thing? A tuner? Really does look like one of these:

Love the laminating machine at the back - perfect for making sure spilled beer doesn't smudge the ink on your setlist. Love how the expression pedal is bigger than everything else too. 😆

One of my factory patches makes it into a 4-stage phaser. It’s not bad, but not quite as deep as others because the mids don’t go low enough compared to dedicated phasers.

No, the FI has one dedicated notch filter and then the two mid controls in the EQ can be used to create two more. So a 6-stage is potentially possible.

Phasers are notch filters. A notch filter is sort of the opposite of a bandpass filter (aka peak filter). A bandpass boosts a narrow band of frequencies of the signal around the cutoff. A notch filter cuts a narrow band of frequencies around the cutoff. A single notch filter can be thought of as dividing the frequency spectrum into two “stages” - one above the cutoff, one below. An 8-stage phaser is therefore 4 notch filters. Phasers sweep these notch frequencies using an LFO.

Totally worth it though if you plan on adding another SA pedal; even if not as it’ll give you expression control too which is a powerful thing. Their “scene” functionality is so good. You can get a used Hub for about £50 if you look around.

Don’t know. My guess would be no. If it can act as a host then maybe. Maybe worth a shot. You’d need an adapter cable though. If I had the relevant adapter cable I could try it with my Roland UM-One MKII.

Morningstar products aren’t USB hosts so you can’t hook it straight to the USB port of the C4; you need an intermediary device such as the Source Audio Hub or Disaster Area micro gHost.
