What do you mean by “resonant”? There is still some scope for tone shaping with bass and treble EQ and the filter. Bear in mind, the two OC-2 patches I posted are generated differently: ”OC-2 is the new black” uses the monophonic pitch shift voice, which sounds pretty close off the bat but has it’s own dedicated low pass filter to cut off the high end. I’ve actually got it below 50% in this clip. “OC-2 1d...” is actually made using the square wave oscillator through the normal 4-pole lowpass filter and is a bit fuller sounding and less honking than a real OC-2.

Check the demos I posted above to see.

The interface isn’t nasty. It’s actually pretty well laid out (and it will be a bit clearer in the next release as I’m pushing (as far as I can) to get the things I found confusing about it cleaned up). One needs to know a bit about what one is doing to get the best out of it. Admittedly the patch transfer is cumbersome (especially compared to SA) and is something that has been recognised as needing to be improved in a later release. Tracking is definitely not awful. The latest release improves it even further.

Not sure, it uses a feature of the FI that isn’t available on C4 - using the envelope follow to regulate the volume of an oscillator so that it drives the volume into foldover distortion. I might be able to get in the ballpark though using a dedicated drive. I’ll have a go.

My C4 patches so far:

Some C4 patches:

I’ve finally got round to recording some clips of my C4 patches:

The IR is a very well-made bass. I had the good fortune to be able to try one out earlier this year.

Aha. The IR is an improvement (and designed by the same guy).

Peavey or Industrial Radio?

It’s an Industrial Radio one, which is the one I’ve been thinking about getting.

I imagine the line was sequenced and/or the sixteenth notes were ratcheted.

Do you mean the pad at the start or the buzzy/hard-sync lead sound?

Yes, C4 and FI have actual waveform generators. I don’t know about Stomp.

If you set the global mode differently you can have it so that the pedal immediately loads the preset shown. Pressing the encoder jumps in banks of 10. Pressing and holding the encoder then turning it allows you to very quickly scroll to any preset, releasing loads it. With any preset-based pedal, a rudimentary midi switching device makes everything much smoother.

What do you mean by usability in this example? What kind of things are you trying to achieve? What things are you unable to do?

I’m torn now. I think I’m going to get back on programming some more Future Impact patches as I need to do some serious bug testing. Though I might try a few C4 patches too.

Yes, but it’s menu-based as opposed to having direct control via knobs.

You can get that with C4 too. You can assign almost any two parameters (hopefully soon to be four) to the control knobs so can have whatever variations you like within a preset. Furthermore, you can assign up to three other parameters to external control (expression, hot hand or whatever), and specify a high and low range limit for each. So deep editing isn’t needed. Pretty much all the presets I’ve programmed so far take advantage of this. @GisserD have you tried any of mine yet?

That is very true. Also, the filter sounds wonderful.

Also, now @GisserD has sold his Enzo, I can reinstate my assertion that the C4 kicks its butt due to its being cheaper and more fully-featured.

After listening back to my FI patches I know the C4 can’t touch these sounds with its limited envelope control. I hope Source Audio take heed and put better envelope shaping options in in a future update.
