Yes, there is now the ability to copy/swap patches (at least within the VA engine) directly on the pedal. The factory patches are now built into the firmware file and can be reset directly on the pedal. As for onboard sound parameter adjustments, these are as in previous versions with access to 9 common parameters with full adjustment range. (I had hoped to persuade the team to implement a secondary layer of adjustments to take it to 18 but they didn’t go for it. We actually looked at full onboard parameter adjustment but it would have required either a cheat sheet for numerical entries or fairly cryptic 3-digit names and sub menus. The complexity of adjusting flexis via such a menu was what caused András to demur.)

I’d still like to give one of these MXRs a spin but I’m on a self-imposed buying ban, at least until I’ve shifted some of the gear I have listed. No need for an editor for most stuff with the forthcoming FI4 update as it adds onboard patch management features. Also now sports a DX7 FM engine too for all those classic 80s sounds.

Final reduction to £399 posted. Remember, this includes 3 tubes too. -
@markorbit, @charlietuna -
Future Impact V4 or V4 VIP would allow you to trigger the synth oscillators using your bass.

Argh, I just accidentally lost the best FM bass patch I’ve created so far. Dexed always defaults to slot 1 when saving and I clicked too hastily. So annoyed.

You already ask that earlier in the thread and I answered:

Definitely go via music store as you won’t get any nasty tax surprises.

Proper pictures added.

Easily. The only thing is the MXR has a few on-panel controls that the FI needs the editor or a MIDI controller to access (eg portamento time, waveform mixer levels and waveform shape, LFO speed). We could have added onboard controls for all parameters but it would’ve required a crib sheet or, if we’d added a naming system, it would have eaten up too much memory space.

A lot of pedal for not much money. -
Pretty certain that was either related to Mac MIDI studio (or whatever it’s called) or your interface settings. I seem to recall someone else using the same interface had some issues with other devices. The new firmware will let you do loads without ever needing the computer.

It’s strictly monophonic at the moment. We have had some in-depth discussions and serious proposals for polyphony/paraphony on the VA but not sure if that’ll happen now.
-
Sadly not, that’s an editor-only parameter at present. If it were going to be highly used, it could potentially be added as a MIDI command.

This shows some of what it can do:
