    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.
  3. Quatschmacher
    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.

    Those albums (Nightbirds, Chameleon, Phoenix, Pressure Cookin’ ) are great. Three of them were available as one of those classic albums collections. I bought this one separately.

    Hold the button longer. You need to start holding the button down before you insert the power cable. Continue holding the button down until after the firmware version number and instrument mode have both been displayed. I might reword this bit of the manual in the next revision to make this clearer. If you turn the parameter dial to “note off level” before you perform the above action then you’ll know you’ve performed it correctly as you’ll see “rS” (reset) shown in the display.

    I’ve never used the original EQ pedal so don’t know what features it has. The EQ2 doesn’t have a random sweep. I did ask about putting in an LFO and basic envelope like in the modulation pedals; Jesse had considered it but wanted to avoid the whole MIDI clock thing. I managed to get it to do phasers too as you can dial in four sweepable notches internally (more via midi).

    It is indeed a very powerful tool. The tuner is great and will replaces tuners on boards easily. It can be used as a very tasty foot-sweepable filter. You can sweep four bands using the onboard external control section. Via MIDI you can sweep all 10, feed them moving patterns like the Moog MURF. Ironically for foot sweepable stuff it’s better for that than the C4 as it covers the whole 20Hz-20KHz range whereas the C4 caps at 6Khz. Here I use the C4’s factory patch “EDM Swell” into the EQ2 to sweep the filters. Due to the dual channel arrangement, you can use the pedal at two points in your signal chain simultaneously with independent settings.

    I’m discovering loads of cool stuff today.

    The 2i4 has MIDI, but it’s not good enough to handle Future Impact firmware updates and full memory writes, but is good for every other midi application I’ve used it for.

    What’s the reasoning behind the reversed P pickup in their 2-pickup models when the single-pickup version has it in standard configuration? And how does it differ?
  15. Quatschmacher
    Excellent. Never heard of this band but will be checking out more of it. Thanks for sharing.

    Got closer to the Pony sound using a combination of elements from Annette's version and of my previous version:

    C4 as a drum machine anyone?
  18. Quatschmacher
    Probably my favourite Steely Dan record (with Pretzel Logic a close second).
  19. Quatschmacher
    Another great one. I’ve had this for over ten years and in fact was just listening to it again a few weeks ago. A brilliant live set.
  20. Quatschmacher
    Yep, sure is. I’ve got all her albums. There’s some live footage floating around on YouTube too.
  21. Quatschmacher
    These are amazing.
  22. Quatschmacher
    Lovely. I’ve got an Olympic White version of this on order. Should’ve had it by now but the Lakland workshop is currently shut. GLWTS.
  23. Quatschmacher
    I’m already several steps ahead of you on that score: check the section of the manual called “FI as a replacement for standard single effects pedals”. Here I go through how to set it up as an envelope filter, wah pedal, chorus, flanger, phaser, octaver, etc. Have a follow through that as there are some good nuggets in there.
  24. Quatschmacher
    Excellent. Glad somebody has got some positive use from that section; I felt the manual needed something like that. Is it worth my writing some more such tutorials?
  25. Quatschmacher
    covered numerous times in the manual in FAQ, section on tuner and section on updates as already discussed, but worth mentioning. Take note @burno70.
