radiophonic Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Has anyone compared the octave down sound to an OC2 yet? I'm very interested in this being able to replace several pedals (PS6, MF101, Manta possibly - depending on the peak filter options and maybe even the OC2). I use MIDI a lot playing live and a loop switcher, so there could really be a lot of scope provided I can get the signature sounds I need.

I did an OC-2 ish thing, though it may not be honky enough. I used a filtered square wave. Others have used the monophonic pitch shift with a bit of filtering. I also posted an MF101-inspired patch.

I'm waiting for all the excitement to die down and some longer term view to emerge. They still seem to be tweaking firmware too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 After listening back to my FI patches I know the C4 can’t touch these sounds with its limited envelope control. I hope Source Audio take heed and put better envelope shaping options in in a future update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Also, now @GisserD has sold his Enzo, I can reinstate my assertion that the C4 kicks its butt due to its being cheaper and more fully-featured.

GisserD Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 The enzo programming on the fly ability kicks ALL synth pedals to the dirt tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an important feature! I suspect the incoming Boss SY-1 is going to make that easier still for those of us not inclined to have to resort to deep PC editing each time we want to tweak our synth sound.

GisserD Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) You can't program the sy1. Only ajust predefined parameters. Edited August 14, 2019 by GisserD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's exactly what I love about it! 😎 121 very easy to access presets should just about be enough to find two or three I really like...

You can get that with C4 too. You can assign almost any two parameters (hopefully soon to be four) to the control knobs so can have whatever variations you like within a preset. Furthermore, you can assign up to three other parameters to external control (expression, hot hand or whatever), and specify a high and low range limit for each. So deep editing isn’t needed. Pretty much all the presets I’ve programmed so far take advantage of this. @GisserD have you tried any of mine yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can program the Chunk Octavius Squeezer on the fly too, but you need to seriously understand synthesis to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it’s menu-based as opposed to having direct control via knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’m going to get back on programming some more Future Impact patches as I need to do some serious bug testing. Though I might try a few C4 patches too.

Kev Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Must admit that I am generally leeching somewhat with this preset community as a lot of this is entirely beyond me. I miss the simplicity of the Deep Impact still 😂 I am finding making a patch from scratch quite difficult. I have seen two but I thought I read somewhere that someone was working on doing a preset mimicking the Deep Impacts 9 voices? Also, I am looking for a good set of envelope filter sounds; I loved the presets on the Soundblox unit but again I’m struggling to dial in my own, finding it difficult to set sensitivity/depth etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that both the FI and C4 are the more 'capable' synth engines but if you're into ease of use and being able to dial in something quickly and intuitively 'on the fly' then the more user friendly Boss SY-1 may be the better option for you. I'm looking forward to mine landing hopefully in a couple of weeks. Btw - the FI has the 9 presets of the Deep Impact as the first 9 of its 99 stock presets; it's a big step up from its (often ridiculously over-priced!) predecessor!

I’d be interested to try an FI with the updated firmware as I found the tracking awful on the one I had, but editing via midi with that quite nasty interface compared to the slickness of the Source audio software and USB is a no brainer for me. and, unfortunately, I’ll forever associate boss with the sounds the Syb-3 made! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...well if you're going to be mentally stuck in 23 year old synth tech, that's your call. There are a few clips already of the SY-1 on the SY-1 thread that will bring you up to date. I'll best stop the thread hijack now though... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually pretty well laid out (and it will be a bit clearer in the next release as I’m pushing (as far as I can) to get the things I found confusing about it cleaned up). One needs to know a bit about what one is doing to get the best out of it. Admittedly the patch transfer is cumbersome (especially compared to SA) and is something that has been recognised as needing to be improved in a later release. Tracking is definitely not awful. The latest release improves it even further. Edited August 21, 2019 by Quatschmacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not quite as resonant but a decent facsimile. Definitely on my list once it's actually available in shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
