what's stopping you? https://www.superbooth.com/en/tickets.html

more Fi4
-
Hmm might be a bit of a messy thread now I've taken off the stuff that's sold.... Shallow Water thingy withdrawn - it's too good So only the L4 left, far cheaper than it costs to buy the bits! -
wow you don't see an Arcades often! -
as punishment you must now download Dexed and program it to recreate as close to the Roland sound-in-you-head as you can.
-
normally the other half hears random bass video or music sounds coming out of the laptop and rolls her eyes... but she liked that last one

That’s the dilemma - everyone wants a really really well equipped synth with every feature known to man… but they also want quick easy presets so they don’t need to learn how to use every feature known to man. I don’t envy panda or source audio!! @Kiwi would FI4 midi out let you drive any arpeggiator you want? Or depending how it works could the midi out from pitch detector go to arpegiator and then as midi back into fi?

From my outside view… it feels like the FI1 was a reissue of the DI with more things a synth geek would want - that then gets added too and more and more functionality. Which is cool and you end up with a pretty awesome bass synth … that requires a bit of knowledge to program and tweak… but a lot of people want a microkorg, with a big knob that they can select “trance patch 1” and not tweak. I think with the DX7 stuff that might be even more of a thing as I’ve messed around with Dexed and it kinda made my head explode a bit!

Does it have to be rack mount? looked at Sushibox effects? something like the underground accelerator is a orange/fender style preamp and can be driven, or he has Ampeg type or fender bossman - all running at proper plate voltages. Or the Two notes revolt https://www.two-notes.com/en/revolt-bass/ or older Le Bass will have tubes and overdrive in (though can't promise how the tube is used in the circuits)

Oh I have a mystery box too. They are very good

exactly. My thoughts Audio interface: Nice. A good bass and a good player Noble (flat) great, finally just get why this is a standard in the music industry, just works Mantle (flat) would like to compare to my Colourbox v2 - similar but think Mantle would be fatter (I'm basing that on size of transformers!) but EQ on colourbox v good Caveman BP1c - not my thing, scoopy Jad Freer LUCE - ok, I liked it on the other video shared, but to be honest is it much better than turning the bass up a bit after the audio interface? Mystery DI - preferred to the LUCE. Based on what's been said I'm imaging some standard transformer based DI... JDI? (which if it is would be the same transformer as noble) Grace Designs Alix (flat) - I've tried a Grace preamp before and this sounds like that memory, lovely detail but probably better for acoustic instruments than a fender style bass, IMO, very very nice Jad Freer Sisma - not for me. Sounds cheap and nasty compared to the Alix. Origin Effects Bassrig Fifteen (to taste) - sounds amazing. It's obviously doing something completely different to all the clean DI here and does it very well - I'm guessing the cab sim is on from the bottom end roll off? But in the mix - great. Noble (Slight Bass and Treble boost) - still great. Mantle (Slight Bass and Treble boost) - not really changed my opinion compared to above Jad Freer LUCE & Barber Linden EQ - sounds good - nice combo Jad Freer LUCE & Origin Effects DCX Bass - slightly different and prefer to the Linden/Luce combo, not sure why Mystery DI & Barber Linden EQ prefer to Luce Mystery DI & Origin Effects DCX Bass - this sounds really great, the DI really shows off a lovely pedal, makes me want to try one Grace Designs Alix (Slight bass and treble boost) - my ears have gone fluffy from listening to too many clips, sounds like it did before maybe? its good Jad Freer Sisma (EQ to taste, DEEP switch in) - my ears are fluffy but I still don't like this. Obviously all my preferences are subjective
-
So the lesson is - if I could play as well as @knicknack I could play through anything and still sound good?!

at work we were 12 months into a product development and the power supply the product relied on was embargoed because the company in china making them was also selling them to Iran to build Russian drones - right set back that was

I’m not well today so not working and watched that between dosing in bed - it was really good -
Native Instruments in preliminary insolvency ...
LukeFRC replied to rwillett's topic in General Discussion
I don’t actually think we are disagreeing- but if in your era hard work, drive and sacrifice would lead to success and being able to do something as a career in a creative field. In my post 2008 crash era and more so now hard work, drive and sacrifice would look like working the crap job to give you flexibility to pour time into your creative field, hustle to try and monitise what you do, and chasing the algorithm to market yourself. -

I’m a bit young to know if it’s true, but I’m sure when I was younger I remember lots of bands, and visual artists living on the dole while they went after their artistic vision. since that’s not an option does it matter if their full time job makes their art possible? the reality is most the money has gone out of music for the producers - unless you chase the algorithm- the fact that people are still doing their thing and making things happen as a side hustle is a good thing- not a negative. -
Bit too much colour on that Jam pedal though...
-
Maybe that is his pjs?
-
@sifi2112 maybe? I think?
-
That looks excellent!!

having owned a L1000 and played L2000 ... I would use the L1000 passive bass treble and OMG wiring for it - it's' great.

obv this is off topic!

C2C is the diy arm of the same guy who does Sushibox effects. If you fancy getting the soldering iron out Klaus at Musikding can help
