That could be done really easily. It’s not something I’ve done though.
-
As a celebration of reaching 100 uploads I've made these patches available too: https://auraplug.com/fidatabase2/downloads/dont-arp-on-about-it/

Here's one of a few synth tremolo patches I've just uploaded.
-
Also added some more Bassballs-type stuff.

I’ve just uploaded a few tremolo patches. I had to fudge them a bit. If you assign a square wave to the INSTR slider in the main mixer then the output is quite clicky. I suspect this might be because it is a linear volume control. My workaround was to set that control to zero and instead put the dry signal through the VCF input but bypass the filter and then apply the square wave LFO to the VCF LOG slider.

Another vote for Source Audio. Either Nemesis for loads of delay or Collider which takes 5 delay engines from the Nemesis and 7 reverb engines from their Ventris. Can be configured however you like - two reverbs, two delays, one of each, parallel or cascaded in any order. I should be getting one pretty soon.
-
No. You need either the Hub or a micro gHost.
-
You can configure the pickups, parallel/series, in phase, out of phase on a per-coil/per-pole basis. -
These were a great concept but I don’t think they ever took hold in the way EB hoped.
-
Just created and shared some simple brass patches:
-
I’ve never played one but I read the manual and it sounded like a ball ache, which is borne out by other users’ experiences.
-
I could do that easily. You mean the Octavius Squeezer
-
You can pick them up used. They come up pretty often. There’s one on eBay right now. It’s the business, amazingly compact, easy to program and runs on standard 9V. I only sold mine to buy the bigger MC8.
-
Easily done with an MC6. You can even label the buttons via the display to say stuff like “chorus”, “distortion” etc.
-
You don’t necessarily need to get a PC out to edit patches (though it’s easier) as it can be done with an iOS or Android device plugged into the second input. You can easily add and access other user presets that way too. Or you can simply use the knobs to tweak the six button-accessible presets and never use an editor. The Spectrum is arguably better for that as all four knobs have dual functions whereas two of the C4’s knobs only have a single function.
-
How do you mean “daisy chained”? Windows only allows one instance of USB MIDI. I cannot have the FI editor open and use my Morningstar web midi editor at the same time. Once one is open, the other either won’t boot or won’t receive data. I’ve never tried using the FI via pc with a usb keyboard connection but imagine the same problem will occur. I usually use the DIN port on my keyboard and go into either my interface or the MC8. Previously I’ve done it with the UM-One mk2 - plugging the um-one mk2’s “out” cable into the FI’s MIDI input and the keyboard’s MIDI out into the UM-one mk2’s “in” cable. Does the Akai also have DIN ports? If so, you could power it via usb but use the DIN port to send the midi signals, which might solve your problem.
-
Also, you should unplug the FI midi out port if you’re not writing patches to the pedal as it can cause midi loop problems otherwise.
-
@prowla your keyboard problem might be that windows only allows one instance of midi over usb at once.
-
You only need to hook up one cable when performing any function other than writing patches to the pedal’s memory slots (midi out from computer to midi in on FI). Have you read the FAQ section? This is covered there under the item called “how do I listen to and add new sounds to my pedal”.
-
Do you mean getting sounds from the pedal itself as a stand-alone thing? Or do you mean how to connect it to the the editor and get sounds via it? Did you read the section on “how to build your first sound”? Not sure if that’s even possible as it’s only one-way communication from the computer to the pedal (except when writing patches to the pedal). What do you mean worked on one run of 4? Do you mean it only made sound on about 25% of the patches? Some patches are comprised of instrument-derived sound only so have no synth content and so a keyboard won’t work. Did you select the Akai as the “keyboard input instrument”?
-
It is. I’d recommend the Morningstar MC6 over this though, unless you need massive buttons. MC6 can send up to 16 messages per button and has two toggle positions and several different actions per button. It’s so versatile and can be set up to do whatever you like. I set mine up to play chords on the FI.
-
Yes. What do you want to do with it?
-
Standard Stingray is 1.6875” (1 11/16”) or 42.86mm. Classics are thinner at 1.625” (1 5/8”)or 41.3mm. -
Thanks for sharing that. I’ve got their albums loaded up for listening today.
