  1. Sounds like you’re already getting good and useable results from it.
  2. https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/sep/06/brazilian-musician-sergio-mendes-dies-aged-83
  3. Awesome, seems there’s a lot of later 70s Temptations I haven’t heard. Thanks for sharing. Just added a few albums into my list.
  4. “It starts with the popular Tim-tuning mod from the original and takes it further with a reworked tone knob that runs the gamut from classic OC-2-inspired thump to all-out sub fuzz,” 3Leaf writes. A bit tempted - I always had the TIM switch engaged. And from when I played the one that @CameronJ had, I remember the anti-clockwise end of the tone knob was buzzier than the MKI.
  5. No one? @RigorMortens?
  6. Have you played the V4? It’s as fast and accurate as that on the “accuracy” setting. Because it has to issue a MIDI note-on message, it has to absolutely know the pitch before sending so takes one wave cycle minimum. (Triggering synths via CV is faster as the gate trigger can be sent before the new pitch has been read (so functions exactly like the FI in “speed” mode where the previously-played note is used until the new pitch is detected).) In absolute terms, the latency when playing a low B is always going to be 33.333…ms minimum as that is how long it takes for one 30Hz waveform to be completed. There is work in progress to further improve the tracking reliability. Depending on the note quality of the input note, the detection circuit can take a few cycles before it has determined pitch. The work should get it so it will lock on within a single cycle most of the time. During the previous round of testing the new algorithm was really fast but caused some pedal lockups on occasion. Optimisation work has been done elsewhere to reduce processor load so that should no longer be an issue. Andras is doing further detailed work on training the algorithm via a neural net. This involves training the algorithm on real-world samples of pitch input so that it can know which pitch is being played. It will also help to work out what situations might cause mistriggers and help to compensate for those types of input. It’s pretty exciting stuff. Once machines become even more powerful, it may even be possible to do some kind of predictive analysis using only the rising portion of the waveform but I guess that’s some way off. I had suggested some kind of tailored, per-user learning, where the users trains their own pedal user their own instruments/playing style. Again, probably some way off being a reality as it would require a chunk of memory I guess.
  7. More like dust bunnies.
  8. Seems I may need to spell it out as my hint is too subtle: I’m triggering an actual DX7 using my bass! I’m sure you can work out the significance of my having posted this in this particular thread!
  9. What’s going on here then? IMG_0052.mov IMG_0048.mov IMG_0044.mov
  10. I just sold John my C4; all organised really quickly from initial contact last night to payment and collection this afternoon, with friendly communication both online and in person. I’d be happy to transact again. Many thanks and hope you enjoy the glorious synth tones.
  11. Absolute bargain for a great preamp.
  12. Could someone who has a Mercury Flanger and access to the desktop editor please check something for me: If you load a phaser patch into the pedal and turn the “delay” knob on the pedal, does the “frequency” knob in the editor move? In the old editor the knob was labelled frequency/delay. Basically, I need to know whether it’s possible to control the phaser sweep’s centre frequency directly from the pedal; if so, I need to get one instead of my Lunar as that’s a far more useful feature to me than control over the LFO shape. Thanks.
  13. Will consider a very near offer.
  14. This isn’t the vintage reissue version as that one has no status LED. This is the standard one.
  15. It is. I’m just not really making use of it for synth stuff like I once did since getting my keyboard skills to a decent standard. I’ve had loads of fun learning it and creating and sharing patches for it over the last few years but since it’s been sitting in a box for quite some time now unused, I feel I’d like to move it on and put cash towards another instrument. (If I feel like I’m missing it later, I can easily get another.) Still got a Spectrum for all the filter, phaser and octave stuff.
  16. You could perhaps run something in the C4’s loop and use it as a mixer to isolate what you need then sum to mono.
  17. A sort of redo of the MKII but with envelope control. Sadly USA only though. https://www.chaseblisslegacy.com/billy-strings-wombtone?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0DkRrw735sXjKcOM3TTtwA9nqJrEZBWAn60_5zcDvGTgWnvXPFVSCMbrA_aem_fAFRAoTuFtJmNDy45crnKg
  18. Don’t think it’s one piece, but is very well book-matched compared to others I’ve seen. The join looks to be to the right of the neck plate on the rear shot, tracing it down you can see two grain lines merge into one. Looks lovely. Guessing this might be a heavy beast.
