iamtheelvy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 All accounted for as promised! Patch 86 very cool, yes. Think it was patch 53 made mrstheelvy roll her eyes though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 @iamtheelvymake sure you get an expression pedal hooked up as soon as you can for even more fun - most of the sounds I programmed for it have morphing and other cool stuff when using expression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Digging a bit deeper into this now and getting a set of usable synth tones set up. Is there a good starting point patch for a Unibass-type setting? More for a faux-rhythm guitar than for organ sounds.

At basic level, it was an octave up from the note played, but with the option of an additional 5th up from the octave, essentially forming a power chord an octave above the bass root note, then the ability to add overdrive to the upper chord whilst leaving the bass unaffected.

No reason why you shouldn’t be able to do this, though the upper two notes will have to be synth notes as opposed to pitch-shifted copies of the original signal.

AinsleyWalker Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hey! I've taken a look through this post and found some answers to my question but they were from a while ago and it's a loong thread so.. Any recommendations for MIDI footswitch controllers to use with the FI? I'm just looking for something to control patch up & down. Would something like this do the job?: https://www.disasterareadesigns.com/shop/p/dmc-micro-pro Thanks!

That would do it and should allow you to take advantage of some of the MIDI functions like freeze and modulation. (I’d still recommend the Morningstar stuff though as it’s more versatile. The MC3 is pretty small.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pods Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 a few questions re FI I had a Deep Impact all those years and quite fancied a FI. I just missed out on one in the improved case (which I think I'd prefer). Before putting a wanted ad up can I ask: Does it come with it's own PSU ? What's the going rate for a re-cased one v the Original ? Apart from the software, is there any difference in the cases between v1 to v1.3 ?

What's the going rate for a re-cased one v the Original ? Apart from the software, is there any difference in the cases between v1 to v1.3 ? No supplied PSU. It takes a standard 9V centre negative supply of 100mA. All FIs are the same internally. Difference between FI I and FI v3 is just a (free) software update and the different decal. Do a search of the classifieds to see what the last few have sold for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
