So i have to have the laptop setup usb to tue cy and my bass plugged in through the board and i can justxtest patches without downloading them to the pedal?

Yes, just make sure to check the input level on each preset after you’ve clicked on it before plucking a note or you might deafen yourself. Input levels vary vastly depending on who programmed the sound. (I have been asking SA for a global override that sets every preset to whatever your desired level is but C4 code space is exhausted. Hopefully it’ll make it into an eventual next version of it.) Edited January 30 by Quatschmacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or phone via the cable that goes into input two works too. agree about the volume levels - set a compressor to limiter mode after it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) After owning this pedal for a little while now, I finally used it successfully at a gig last night. Up until now I'd been hamstrung by not understanding the editor and so relying on patches made by others which I then couldn't tweak to suit my needs So what changed? I found this video . It completely demystified so much of the editor that I was able to build and modify a series of patches, all of which I employed yesterday to great effect. I hope some other befuddled Basschatter finds it useful Edited March 8 by stewblack 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lidl e Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 On 21/11/2023 at 07:36, lidl e said: Ive got it mostly sorted. There are some really amazing presets. Im not mad about how the dmc micro turns on/off the C4 by holding down the left button. Then if i turn off and change presets, it turns the C4 back on. Im sure there is a fix for that. So i finally took a deep dive and decided to sort out all my issues. I emailed disaster area and he explained to me what i was doing wrong. I figured out different device modes and how the preset mode can be set to change patches without turning on the C4. I also finally figured iut how to control both the C4 and the plethora using the dmc micro. I can now set scenes and isntantly call up boards on the plethora and patches on the C4 simultaneously and have them engaged or disengaged. Very pleased with that. I knew it could be done, just a matter of finding out how. This is my first step into using midi to control my boards. It was much easier to setup than i imagined. Next up is deep dive into C4 patch editor. I finally soent some time going through it and it seems to make sense. At least the top half of the screen. The bottom half controls are a bit mysterious still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I accidentally bought an valeton oc10 OC2 clone off eBay… and have been fiddling with my C4 to try and replicate close - if anyone wants to try it’s called “octave two types FRC” so control 1 is oc2 alike blend to bring in the dry obviously and then control 2 is a deeper less synthy sounding octave sound to blend in. no -2 octave as we’re not whales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It might be in the thread, but it's a long one.... Would I have to use the Source Audio expression pedal with the C4, or are there cheaper alternatives? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works fine - I think I had to switch the TRS around to work but I was creating a patch box for expression so it worked quite well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just curious about how to get the best out of it without spending a load extra. I don't have any other midi/expression capable pedals.

Main thing is to get a MIDI controller that will allow you to access more than the first 6 presets. And that in turn will allow you to add any generic expression pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see myself needing more than a few presets live. Will look into it in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisswanbon Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 My search abilities may be failing me but I can't find the answer I want to my question so here goes... Is there an alternative to the disaster area micro.dmc? I just need a simple, tidy solution to access all of the presets on my C4 without wanting to get into scenes and big controllers or run millions of cables... @LukeFRC I see you built your own... was this an easy thing? Id rather pay £25 than £165! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easyish this fellas code https://github.com/jacobroufa/midi_c4_preset New mvave chocolate plus should also be able to do it in terms of switching from its usb host port - but maybe not the numeric display 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
