Well well well. Isn't that interesting.

I'll have a look at ireal Pro tomorrow, see what we can find

Thank you @tauzero that's brilliant. Exactly what I needed to know.

Plan is to attach it to my stool. We'll be millionaires Rodney

My rack is oversized in both directions. I put everything in a soft bag because its easier than having individual bits rattling around in there. Lessons the risk of a jackplug ending up in your cheese and pickle sandwiches too.

Hi. I have a feeling that the short answer is you can't. It's designed for chord charts. You can add single bass notes, for those times when say the chord is D but the bass plays A (usually shown with the bass note following a /) but not runs of notes. I decided to use Musescore when I reached a similar point. It means getting to grips with notation but lots of folk here helped me to learn.

Hmm. Interesting. Having decided that it works I got down under the seat and tidied up by putting the rest of the screws in and tightening the whole thing up. This has (unsurprisingly I suppose) tightened the bottom end but lessened the giblet rattling effect of the bass. Mind you the chair is beginning to disintegrate so it's still doing something. Going to mount it on the back just to try it out.

You gave me the idea, that and a guy on YouTube making speakers out of flat sheets if balsa This is the exciter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002LQAHPE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and I will be bringing the love seat to the South West Bass Bash. Honestly, like Ped says until you try it you can't imagine how amazing it is.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

Nope. You make nothing off the album sales.

Yes! I'm frightened to bid in case I win.

Ha ha! I'm normally a prunes guy but I'll let you know how it goes

Ha ha! An offer you can refuse, I like it. I'm not finished inventing my alternative yet.

I don't know what you'd call it actually. Two things inspired me. The back pack vibrating box thingy you stick on your strap, and the board you sit your chair on which is a big flat vibrating bass speaker thingy. I baulked at the price of either but got to thinking. The result of my cogitation? This is a 100w 4ohm audio exciter or transducer or something like that. Cost about 14 quid delivered. Screwed it to the underside of my seat. Hooked it up to an amp. Sent a line out to my headphone amp (Zoom B1on). Stuck on my headphones... and there was a small explosion 💥 Not really. It actually worked. One of my inventions is actually brilliant. I live with an elderly relative who sometimes dislikes it when the peas dance off her dinner plate if I'm rehearsing. So silent practice is the norm. This takes it to another level. It's extraordinary. The bass becomes complete. Mids and tops in the cans everything else everywhere else at once, and barely audible in the room. It's wonderful. You can have any setting you want, from mild buttock shake to full personal violation. I'm off for another go.

Yeah, that could happen but by the time I packed it all away I was left with a daunting box full of pedals and a spaghetti of cables. May take a lot if courage to do it all again!

It won't be. They reserve the right to not use anything they don't like the look of.

Vulfpeck is selling a track on their next album. Bid stands at £29,000 last Iooked. It's on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383666896955

I was looking at that Fishman pedal Al put up for sale, always fancied something like that. I like as few people in a band as possible, but this can produce compromises when choosing a set. The most expendable has usually been the lead guitarist. Not an anti guitar prejudice; show me a genuine rhythm guitarist and I'm a happy man. But a sloppy rhythm player who lives to play long tedious solos is not getting their hands on a share of the loot. So, like many before me, I've wondered if I couldn't fatten out the sound when the keys, mandolin, horn or whatever, takes the lead. I don't want to buy more pedals so looked at what I already have. I bunged my Joyo XVI into a loop on my Tri Parallel Mixer and turned up Octave up. Then my Digitech Ricochet set to a 5th up in its own loop and blended them just so. The main board is in series which I put after the TPM. I have to stomp two buttons simultaneously with this set up but I usually do anyway so I'm kind of turning my clumsiness to my own advantage. The reason this works so well is the TPM. I'm not changing the signal with one pedal then feeding that into another, which results in a rapid degradation in quality. Both pitch shifting pedals work on the clean signal from the bass. The flexibility of having tone, and send and return levels for each individual loop is great and I still retain a master /clean blend at the end. For my experiment I fed the whole lot to one output, but in a live situation the 'guitar' section would have its own dedicated amp and cab (I Bi-amp anyway). Not that I forsee much live work with ongoing health issues forcing me to remain home. This kind of project is a great fun distraction though. Of course the TPM has a third loop, so if I can score another pedal with can hit a reliable and clean 5th up, I could use the Ricochet to play a 4th below.
