    I posted this on TB and Origin have chimed in, which is nice to see.

    I’m guessing if you’re reading it’s because you’d be interested in getting one of these fantastic pedals. Sadly, it doesn’t yet exist. However, with the power of the internet, we can make it happen. I contacted Origin the other day to ask them to consider making this. Their reply was positive and mentioned that I’m “certainly not the first person to request this”. So, I propose this, if you want one of these, send Origin a message to that effect using their contact form (linked below). If they get overwhelming interest, I’m sure they’d be motivated to make it happen. https://origineffects.com/contact-us/ Let’s do this!

    No need to apologise; I appreciate your thinking of me. Yes, that 5-string ad is from early in the year and a couple of months later I managed to score the bass in this ad.

    Guess you can answer your own question now!🤣

    Might have been cool to change the 2 pot to a filter, or add a dry on/off stomp switch there.

    I have two sets of mute pads and no Stingray…

    It’s not unheard of. Moog Voyager is similar - the “wave” modulation destination applies to all three oscillators at once. Weird design choice though. Yes, all these things have their quirks I suppose and one learns to get around them or lean into them and use them creatively. Overall it’s a lovely instrument and sets a high bar for other companies.

    It’s a (qualified) yes. The keybed (Fatar TP/8SK) is far better than any other I’ve played (bar the Fatar TP/8S in the Moog One). The layout is so spacious and immersive. Programming it is pretty quick and fun; the lack of menu and display means you use your ears. The sound is lovely, not as full-sounding as analogue oscillators perhaps but plenty nice. Build quality is excellent. Many times more solid than the Sequential 6 series and the Moog Muse. There are some bugs still. A few I reported in the first week have been fixed. The others are on the list to be addressed. Once these are fixed, it’ll be better. There are also a few things which could be improved in software, such as the behaviour of the drift parameter; currently it’s just a really slow LFO applied to a few parameters, whereas it would be hugely improved if it were stable offsets. There are also a few irksome implementation quirks, mostly around shared slider functions. For instance, it’s not possible to have an unmodulated sawtooth on one oscillator whilst having a PWMd pulse on the other as the LFO is simultaneously applied to PWM of oscillator 2 and the wave morph position of oscillator 1. It does put certain classic sounds out of reach. I’d love to see UDO do a fully analogue synth in this style.

    I’ve only bought a few bits of gear this year and sold a fair bit. Haven’t really got a worst purchase as I’m happy with the stuff I did get. Bass related, I finally got an early Japanese OC-2 which is hitting the spot. Also finally scored a bigger Aclam pedalboard for a great price so could finally get most of my pedals set up properly. Synths are where my funds have been disappearing, though I did sell one of mine to a friend who’s smitten. I bought another friend’s spare Juno 106 I’d been borrowing for about 18 months as I love it so much. And the UDO Super 8 I got recently is lovely. I sort of want to explore analogue compressors and preamps a bit. May well end up with the new Chase Bliss Wombtone by the end of the year though.

    It’s quiet for me. The only pedal that causes issue sometimes is my Beat Buddy as it doesn’t like being daisy chained.
  12. Quatschmacher
    Thanks, I’ve actually just been and checked this and you are right. Though CCs are all being passed through correctly on other channels, PCs aren’t. Thanks for drawing my attention to this. I’ll report it and get it fixed.
  13. Quatschmacher
    If MIDI thru is on in the FI, then all PCs on other channels should be getting sent through. (Make sure MIDI thru is enabled in the global menu; it is disabled by default.) Is that not happening? If not, what MIDI channel is the FI set to? Does it make any difference whether the FI is engaged or bypassed? what device are you using to send the (non-FI) PC messages to the FI? I did some testing last week and found it was working as expected but I think my FI was set to channel 1. I’ll take a look at some other settings.
  14. Quatschmacher
    No, I’m saying what it says in the manual. Please read the sections i mentioned. MIDI messages on other channels are passed on as normal (providing MIDI thru is enabled).
  15. Quatschmacher
    As said, please read the manual sections I mentioned as they do explain how MIDI works after the new firmware (it isn’t broken, it just work a bit differently).
  16. Quatschmacher
    C4 doesn’t respond directly to PC messages via the control input port; there are dedicated CCs for program changes (see the MIDI map in the c4 editor). The only way to have older SA pedals respond to MIDI PC is by connecting them to their Hub (or USB MIDI, which FI cannot supply). Please also read the FI manual sections on “MIDI triggering”, “external MIDI tab”, “midi thru” and “program change out” for clarification on how PC messages behave when using the FI’s new MIDI note feature.
  17. Quatschmacher
    There’s a new batch and they’ve added an internal switch to choose between true bypass and having the drive still active.

    I have played two of these very pedals as @admiralchew kindly lent me them recently. The Barbanera is a very lovely filter indeed. It’s a long time since I’ve played the Moog of which it is a clone but it sounded pretty close to the memory I have of it. Also adds some nice extras like LFO and overall level control. The Slampegg sounds fantastic too. I did indeed also have the oscillation issue described when running at 9V without a buffer. It occurred when turning the pedal’s gain high and having the passive tone on a low-output passive P fully open. Rolling off either the bass’s tone or the pedal’s gain stopped it. I can also confirm that running a buffer before it stopped the issue at all gain/tone settings entirely, even at 9V. This behaviour seems to be documented elsewhere too so seems to be a design quirk as opposed to a one-off defect. Lovely, honest seller who takes great care of his gear so buy in complete confidence. GLWTS.

    The 1-Spot has a 3m cable and you can daisy chain a ton of pedals off it as it’s 1700mA. https://truetone.com/1-spot/

    Some funky new features added, including a MIDI translator function.

    Lewis bought an Octabvre Mini pedal from me over the weekend. Payment received within 24 hours of his committing to buy. Would be more than happy to transact again in future. Many thanks.

    Just fired up my new Mercury and managed to finally get an answer as to whether the “delay” knob controls the centre frequency of a phaser patch - it does! So ironically Mercury is the best pedal for my use to create phaser patches as I like adjusting the centre frequency but rarely mess with the LFO shape. However, there seems to be a bug as the hardware knob only allows half of the range of the editor knob. I’ve reported it.
