prowla Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well, I've just joined the club, pending arrival of the v3 from the Panda folks... I had looked at s/h ones (which are upgradeable), but a new v3 is under €300, so that'll do nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland UM-One MK2 is the most reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dabbled with a couple of other synth pedals too. So this should be fun... The SS is great, but limited in saved settings.

The FI smokes the super synth, which doesn’t even have a square wave. Minitaur is phat. You might still find you need the Roland. Not all interfaces can handle the large amount of midi data. My Focusrite Scarlett is fine for patch creation, saving and general use but cannot handle the firmware updates or the process of writing 99 patches to the pedal.

The SS was decent in its day but the decade old tech under its bonnet is definitely starting to be shown up by several of the newer kids on the block.

HazBeen Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I am using a midi controller keyboard a lot with my FI nowadays, basically giving me best of both worlds. Anybody else doing that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else doing that? Have you tried sending notes from the MC6? Does your keyboard have a sequencer? You can trigger the FI with a sequencer too. An Arturia Keystep would be a good companion.

Quatschmacher Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 For those of you who do Facebook, I’ve set up an FI user group.

I have a keyboard with sequencer, midi Out into the MC6 (on the correct midi channel) and midi Out on MC6 to FI Midi In. FANTAAAAAAAAASTIC!

I also meant sending notes from the footswitches on the MC6 so you can play the foot pedals while still playing bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I am still trying to join the club. But while I wait I suppose I should find out what midi is. After getting away with not knowing for all these years. Oh God this is going to hurt isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) OK I'm back. Didn't hurt a bit! Two YT vids, one demystified MIDI, the other showed the FI linked to its software which basically looks very much like a synthesiser without the need to plug in a spaghetti junction of jack plugs. I am no longer scared Edited April 20, 2020 by stewblack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format was, until very, very recently still on 1.0! It’s not as daunting as it might seem. Ask if you have questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no longer scared The editor is a little different now, but more logical. Have a read of the manual. I wrote it in such a way as to hopefully be easily digestible and wrote a section on building sounds from scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that will work nicely. You can flip between the two modes simply by either playing a midi note or by playing your instrument.

Ah okay. That is not something that works for my needs, but I am aware that works. Good for laying down Taurus-esque notes a la Geddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
