    I was hoping to be splitting my time exhibiting with Mortrix and with Panda over the weekend but have had to cancel due to more surgery due right around those days. 😞

    Will consider sensible offers.

    What kind of keybed is being used in this? And what kind of triggering mechanism? Is it like the Pratt-Reed ones on the original or more like modern ones like Fatar?

    I’m guessing the knobs have been upgraded. They look much better than the white plastic ones that were on the one I had. Or are these stock now? Either way, looks fantastic.

    That's odd, it should be possible. I do all my basschatting on (ios) mobile. Just click on the three dots at the top right of the first post and hit "edit". If it's not working, it'll need flagging as a bug to admin.

    Please amend the title to add the word “sold” which will then automatically lock the thread.

    Can attest to the neck thing. I had one of these (which popped on Bass Bros recently). I used the neck profile as the basis for my Shuker build too.

    Keyboard arpeggiators do indeed work like that; you hold down multiple notes together and the arpeggiator plays each of the held notes in turn according to the selected pattern mode (up/down/up-down/down-up/as-played/random, etc). If you could send me some links of the type you mentioned, that would be helpful. Yep, it might have been more sensible to get even more memory/better processor from the outset. There are a few things in the implementation which were a bit puzzling. A lot of this stuff was done without any discussion with me, so when the first beta firmware came my way, I had to push hard to get some things changed which I thought, if left, would have made the user experience pretty unwieldy. Trust me, I’m very mindful of the end users in my approach. I disagree. Having inbuilt effects is very useful as they often function as an integral part of the sound design. Having an easy way to turn them on and off would be welcome though for when users want to use external effects. (The last in the chain can be disabled on the panel, but from the outset I’d asked for CCs to disable all and individual internal effects.) Stereo effects would have been better and for V4 I did ask if the output could be made stereo but they went with CV instead. For the most part it has been. I don’t use sequencers or arpeggiators at all but can agree that it would be a welcome feature for some users if it can be sensibly implemented.

    Mortrix will be exhibiting at Guitar Summit in Mannheim 27th-29th September. I was hoping to be splitting my time exhibiting with Mortrix and with Panda over the weekend but have had to cancel due to more surgery due right around those days. 😞 https://www.guitarsummit.de/?lang=en

    Do you rather mean a sequencer? How would you propose to feed an arpeggiator multiple notes? I think it quite unlikely as space is getting tight again in the first app with all the new stuff we added and space needs to be kept for the tracking improvements that are in progress. You can easily arpeggiate and sequence the FI via MIDI as is. Also, you’ll soon be able to use the FI to play MIDI synths that have their own sequencers and arpeggiators. Depending on how the latter work, it might be possible to stack the arpeggiator using single note input, depending on how the synth treats new notes while hold is on. There’s more space in app B as it does not have the pitch tracking algorithm code as it’s MIDI only. Here it would be possible to add my paraphonic idea. Perhaps there might also be space for an arpeggiator, but would be triggered via MIDI only.

    Sounds like you’re already getting good and useable results from it.

    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.

    “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.

    No one? @RigorMortens?

    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.

    More like dust bunnies.

    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!

    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.

    Absolute bargain for a great preamp.
  24. Quatschmacher
    Sold.

    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.
