    OK, I think I need one of these after trying one earlier this week.

    MuTron III, OC-2 (though I’m tempted to say Octabvre II), Future Impact; I don’t have a fourth yet.

    Walshy and I reversed our trade as there were a couple of issues with the bass I took in trade from him, hence mine is back up for sale.

    Think I paid £35 for mine but got a new one for a friend for £20-25. Roland UM-One MK2. But read the section of the FI manual on compatible interfaces for other options known to work.

    I recently arranged a trade deal with Walshy with a bass of mine plus cash for a bass of his. Communication was prompt, friendly and detailed and the handover was done smoothly via his trusted delivery man. Unfortunately, there was a small issue with the bass when it arrived that had got missed before it went out. I contacted Paul asking if we could therefore reverse the trade and, to his credit, he was very apologetic and organised the return quickly without quibble. My bass and refund were back with me the day after contacting him. I think the mark of a good seller is not just how they carry out their normal business, but how they act when something doesn’t quite go to plan. In this instance, Walshy has acted with honesty and integrity and has done his utmost to rectify the situation as quickly and smoothly as possible. Even though we didn’t end up trading this time, I’d be happy to deal with Paul again in future based upon this experience. Many thanks.

    Yes, but they’re not going to break the bank. On the plus side, you get full-size MIDI ports. Also, audio interfaces with MIDI ports and controllers such as those by Morningstar will also work for everything except a firmware update. V3.60 is likely the last firmware update (barring any bugs that might be find that need fixing).

    Skip the Deep Impact (massively overpriced and pretty limited) and get the Future Impact instead (less than half the price, does the original DI sounds 1:1 and then does tonnes more).

    I had the pleasure of meeting Nick last night at his home to buy a Fender American Pro II Precision from him after he kindly responded to my wanted ad. Communication throughout was excellent. He was very accommodating in answering my questions about the bass before I turned up, providing many high-quality images and, at my request, a recording. He then held the bass for me for a couple of weeks until I was able to organise a convenient day to come and collect it. The bass itself is lovely and just as described; I recognised in him that feeling of regret of letting it go (as I too have experienced on a couple of occasions when selling my basses). Nick allowed me plenty of time to check out the bass and test through his setup. We also had time to play around with some effects. I brought something for him to try and he kindly let me try out a bass of his and an effects box that I’ve been keen to try. It was really nice to chat about music and to meet a thoroughly lovely fellow Basschatter. I hope to be able to have the opportunity to meet him again in the not-too-distant future. Highly recommended. Many thanks.

    Could you please amend the title with the word “sold” so that the mods lock it if there’s nothing else available.
  10. Quatschmacher
    If going into the external input, you’ll need to turn up the input dial (which I think is a secondary function on one of the knobs, if not using the editor). If you’re trying to trigger from other devices, you’ll need to make sure they’re on the same MIDI channel.
  11. Quatschmacher
    And that order is my preference in descending order.
  12. Quatschmacher
    Might need to correct the spelling otherwise the search function won’t pick it up.

    Using MIDI THRU, it will pass anything sent to the MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT (except SysEx data and CC6). However, what I suspect you are asking is whether you can play your bass via the FI’s audio input and have it send out MIDI note messages; this is not possible.
  14. Quatschmacher
    Yes; I have said in a few places that there’s definitely room for both pedals as there’s enough stuff that each does that the other can’t. I don’t use the parallel processors loads but there are definitely cool things you can do with them. This example is quite a simple one as it’s just creating a duplicate of the first processor, but with subtle offsets. The result is a nice thickening. You can also run that in stereo using the dual outputs. (That reminds me, now I have two FIs, I should try doing a similar thing with those.)

    Another of my patches. I haven’t got around to doing a proper Tom Sawyer intro for the FI. It’s tricky as it was done on a polysynth with the voices set to unison. A lot of the character comes from the tuning and filter cutoff variances between those voices. This isn’t really possible on the FI as it goes through a single lowpass filter. (It could maybe be fudged by using the parallel bandpass filter but that would carve out too much bottom end.) I’ve done some really good C4 ones as there are parallel processors in there.

    That’s actually from an earlier album, but quite right, it’s excellent. Tim Garland is a fantastic musician. There’s a great full live set of the Feelings album here:

    You can:

    Have you also reflashed the preset that is loaded? If the preset data is corrupted then a firmware reflash wouldn’t fix that. If that doesn’t work, then I’m out of ideas.
  19. Quatschmacher
    Have you checked your cables? Are you definitely feeding it enough current? Is it daisy chained?
  20. Quatschmacher
    @hiram.k.hackenbacker did you get it sorted out?
  21. Quatschmacher
    Now sold.
  22. Quatschmacher
    Sale pending.

    If you use the online updater tool, you can’t go far wrong as all instructions are given on each screen. Just remember to plug in the UM-one before you launch the Chrome browser so that it is detected properly. https://auraplug.com/panda/fiupdate/start.html

    I’ve found that using the foldover distortion can get somewhere towards those sounds sometimes. I made a Who’s That Girl patch for my friend, @SICbass using that.
