If you follow the post you will see updates to it

I can spot a rabbit hole and dive into it from a long way away!

Sounds like you are well into it, but as always the programming is actually fairly trivial compared to actually deciding what it is that you want, which is always the tricky bit to stop feature creep from taking over (and ending up never happy!)

Sure can if you want, I haven't seen either thread so don't know which ones they are - as long as they don't overlap in time should be ok.

If you are using the same 128x64 devices that I use, you can actually change the hardware ID of those, so you don't need to mutiplex it at all. Sounds very much like the 64 high device is using the same setup as the 32 so trying to be a 32, but obviously could be any number of things, something there is sitting there laughing at you What sort of library do you need for those? I must admit that something like that I wouldn't even think of looking for a library for it. Obviously there are issues with differentiating between double tap and long tap, if you want the single tap to be as responsive as possible - there is a compromise there where your single tap is going to be delayed for a bit.

Oh yes, although apart from the instrument you weren't wrong with the solo at 5:20 either!

Moog solo? Thats the guitar solo

Indeed you can, but if they just exposed the pins you would't have to, just assign them a different address then they would all work. But yes, it is a workround.

Great but it looks pretty hard to press that button on the Muff!

I don't know if it is a travesty, if I was in a cover band playing some yes songs, I would be pretty happy if we had come up with that, although looking at the video I would be saying 'lets put the energy up next time'. So yes, as a cover band playing a yes song, they aren't bad.

One thing I have found really irritating in the past that affects this with the oled displays, is that while the cheap ones are very cheap and very easy to use (<£5 each), the commonly available ones are all fixed to one I2C address, and the slightly more expensive or bigger ones have a choice of 2. Why can't they just expose a number of pins so you can pick at the minimum one of 4 or 8 addreses?

If all you want is to jump between a few set sounds, you don't even need additional buttons, you can just have a pedalboard with a number of snapshots, and move between them. Obviously the pedalboard becomes more useful if you want to randomly switch between several sounds

Some people are so woke..

That sounds a lot better, and at least boris brings the hair count up a bit!

Certainly more work that I am going for - if I decide to do the upgrade, I will just use the MVave case and stick a Pico or a bluetooth feather (only because I have one!), but looks like you will have a very versatile pedal! Might just go for these though: http://www.timetravelaudio.co.uk/shop/components/switches/foot-switches/3pdt-foot-switch-illuminated-type-with-led-ring-colour-options-on-led-cap/

As I had previously asked how much power a mod dwarf took, and how the first power supply I found in my box that was 12V was 5A, i thought I would check today how much it took. Answer.. just a shade over 300mA. 200 at startup, going to the maximum I made it take which was with all of the lights on, midi working, two inputs, pedalboard with everything on it which peaked at 320ma. Was expecting a bit more than that, as it is marked as 2A, the HXFX is also marked as 2A and that comes in just over 1.1A.

If you were going to do one of those youtube 'how to sound like yes' videos, that is the sort of thing you would come up with.

ok, that makes sense, I thought you meant bank on the dwarf!

Why did you decide on midi vs control channel, was this so you could use it on other things? Also is your expression pedal USB or Midi, or are you processing that in the pedalboard too?

By switch bank, do you mean changing pedalboard? Still not familiar with all the terminology on these things. I wouldn't want to change pedalboard mid song as there is so much of a delay doing it, but happy to do it between songs. Looks good - I need another pedalboard with samples, as I have a digitech loopman on my board for one sample, and obviously I can drop that now with this, so I am rapidly losing cables, which was what I wanted to do! Thats where I am. Next samples, then I can do pedalboards for the chapman stick and the double bass!

How do you currently use your MVave switches with it?

At the risk of sounding like I am having a conversation with myself here, I finally got down to actually using it last night. Having been on the edge of whether I was going to send it back or not (I haven't even taken the plastic screen cover off yet, which is unheard of), I thought it needed a chance for the reasons I bought it. So here is one of the issues that made me think of getting it, the two in two out thing. I play, sing and keyboard Brick in the wall in our set. In the middle of the solo, because the rest of the song drops out I use footpedals to play chords while the guitarist solos, otherwise it sounds dead. I used to run from the footpedals up to my iPad, which ran M1, and then the iPad through audio socket to the mixer. Problem wiht this is that I don't like leaving the footpedals plugged in as they wear the iPad battery out a lot on a long set, but unplugging them and plugging them in sometimes means they are not picked up. So I went to bluetooth midi, with a yamaha midi thing, but for reasons best known to yahama, when you first connect that, the iPad doesn't see it as a midi device until you rename it. obviously if the power goes off you have to rename it again. Also hit and miss. Also the wireless midi comes from a 9->5 adapter that it plugs into then to the keyboard. So how about the mod dwarf doing synth? Fired it up, new patch, plenty of synths but no organ.. go to the mod store, type organ in the search, there are quite a few, pick a basic GM player, sounds basically ok, but no leslie. Look for leslie speakers, but nothing there, back to the store, there are several, a few paid, a few free, got two of the free ones, start a/b ing them back to back. One is very basic, the other - I think the guy must have done his PhD on leslie speaker dynamics, speeds, acceleration, deceleration, sound bleed, filter type etc. Use that, got a good sound, but add some chorus at the end, why not. Add the fast / slow speed to one of the footswitch and the fast speed rate to one of the knobs. Still something missing so I add another synth, this one has a violin setting, just as a fill, put that through the chorus, but not through the leslie, and turn it down in the mix (should have used a mixer there). Put the volume of that on the other knob as its much louder than the organ anyway. Keys sound fine, so now bass - don't need anything much for this so just a straight signal with a little bit of dirt on the high frequencies, so put in a crossover, and route the HF through the distortion, perfect, put the switch of that on the other footswitch, gig that at the weekend. Look up, oops, should have gone to bed a while back, its a school night! I have an HXFX, and yes, the general effects sound good, and the routing is fine, probably nothing you couldn't do (apart from the synths, you can't do that) without a workaround, and probably much easier to set up without plugging it into a computer on the fly, but nothing like the fun of setting this up with a screen. I must remember when I get back downstairs to remove the plastic from the screen!

As mentioned, I have a 2000 euro5 so about the same age and construction. I am not sure what you mean by chunky, but the neck on mine is not what I would describe as chunky - its thinner than the RST, and thinner than a legend I had, but not the same level as an ibanez. As someone that doesn't like P basses for their chunky necks, this isn't like that.

I didnt see anything specifically new in the video but they are nice looking basses, i like the plug in preamp thing in the other mention, although it restricts you to ones already made tthat way and as it is patented there isnt much incentive for other manufacturers to do it, so I can't see it really taking off. I already have the rolled edges, zero fret and magnetic back plate here, I like the recessed jacks, I have seen them before at the bass bash, but wouldn't work well for me as there isn't enough room to get a wireless in. There is always quite a crowded market of custom makers of FSOs, but there is always room for more.

Mine is a 2000 and had a tonepump in it. doesn't have one at the moment. If that was a 5, I would certainly be interested. It would go with the green one perfectly!
