In my rehearsal room there is an Ashdown MAG300 EVO II which I've taken a fancy to. Been looking for one, seen many but sadly all just too many miles away. I now see an Ashdown mag 420 rootmaster bass amplifier - that's not too far away. Fitted with a 15” celestion bn15 300x speaker. It will be be for home recording and occasional small gigs. I like a box to have lotsa knobs so I can dial in all kinds of tones, DI, (external) FX etc. The spec look to be the same just a different front panel layout. Only downside is "made in china" - thoughts?

As always, this stuff is covered in the manual. Manual is under “help” in the editor. Instrument mode is selected via the global menu. Currently this is done on the pedal (but will be possible in the editor in the next version). See the QuickStart part of the manual on how to access this. Envelope follower and VCA/VCF envelope triggering are two entirely separate things: Envelope follower is the voltage from your instrument’s amplitude envelope coming in via the audio input. VCA/VCF envelope triggers are activated as soon as the audio input is above the threshold set by the note-on level parameter on the pedal’s panel. To have them be triggered solely by MIDI note data, you’ll need to put the pedal in either Synth or EWI mode. In those modes the synthesiser pitches will also only be generated by note data. You’ll still be able to send your bass’s audio through the filter via the “INSTR” slider in the VCF Input section.

Two things I can't work out in the Editor: 1. How do I change modes? I think want to be in what the manual calls Synth mode but I can't see a setting for changing this in the Editor. The manual does say that EWI mode does most of the same things, so I have started with an EWI preset from the manager page, but that leads me to the second problem: 2. How do I turn off the envelope follower? Even with it set to 0 playing a note on the bass triggers the envelopes and therefore opens the filter. What I want is for the VCF and VCA to process just the incoming bass guitar signal but for them to be controlled by their respective envelopes being triggered by MIDI note commands only. I can't see how to achieve this. If someone could share a screen shot of the basic setting I need to achieve this, it would be much appreciated.

His sound on that album is huge (and the duet album he does with Sofia Rei). I got them both through Bandcamp. Got me inspired/motivated with my own double bass playing.

Trinity do some nice performance grades too. There are only three, at roughly grades 3, 5 and 8. You video 4 pieces and send it in.

Protec Contego bass case
EJWW posted a topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Very good condition but with a few very small scuffs, nothing significant enough to be noticeable to the touch. Fits Jazz/P bass perfectly but unfortunately not quite big enough for my Mayones which has a slightly longer scale length. £75 collected from Erdington, north Birmingham Or £85 posted to UK address. No trades thanks you. My feedback is available here... Recently bought from this forum, see original ad below:-

I think it sounds great on the bass, seems to keep some low mids there…tempted….

And now having quit everything and reloaded the application and rebooted the FI, it appears to be working. Not changed anything in the hardware configuration since my last attempt, Very strange. I had checked the MIDI connections were the right way around before I started because I'm marginally dyslexic and the rather confusing (to me) correct way for this cable is connect In to Out and vice-versa. I can understand connecting In to Out for external equipment but when the other end of the cable is a USB plug I would have normally expected In to In and Out to Out. And I did try it the other way around just in case, but earlier neither way worked. Also now that the Editor program is recognising that the Future Impact pedal is connected, the programs loaded from the pedal in a matter of seconds, and I have no problem swapping between the Manager and Editor screens. Next thing is to check I can use the Editor application whilst also running Logic which sending MIDI to the FI, but I won't have time to do that until this evening. Wish me luck!

The inadequacies of a fairly basic powered speaker are hiding the true responses of the various mics. Does show how much influence PA can have on your tone...

I have my security settings to allow me to run applications from both the App Sore and Known Developers which has been sufficient for everything I have needed to install on my Mac since I get it just over a year ago. Since the primary function of this computer is for my work, you may understand why I was reluctant to alter them in order to run an application that falls into neither of those categories.

I haven’t used Mac so can only pass on info from other Mac users. Obviously check the in and out ports are wired up the right way round (it’s astounding how many seasoned MIDI users have fallen at this hurdle). There was a user having a similar issue with another interface not correctly showing. This was the advice: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/future-impact-now-available-was-deep-impact-reissue-interested.1115025/page-375#post-27723015 I would maybe leave the keyboard input blank for now until you’ve troubleshooted the issue (why isn’t it “troubleshot”?). Once the connection is established and you move something in the editor, you should see two horizontal lines in the FI’s display.
