I played a 3x the other day and it was great.

The part about where to put the knob in order to see the parameter value is covered twice - in the “editing the parameters” section in both the quick start guide and the main manual, but probably worth mentioning explicitly in the part dealing with tune base in the FAQ section at least. The page you quoted does indeed tell users to turn the dial to see the parameter value, contrary to what you claimed:
-
440 is the default. Basically the “problem” occurs due to the restructuring of the program code between v2 and v3 (same reason why you need to wipe all 99 preset slots and overwrite them with v3 presets before doing anything else). There are more lines of code so certain parameters got shifted to different line numbers. Once it’s been done, the problem won’t come up again. Also, it is obvious if people read the manual as it is mentioned in no less than three different places. At the very least, I’d urge everyone to read the FAQs at the very end of the manual.

It’s where Source Audio is most active and where a lot of the development discussions took place. It’s a bit quiet otherwise for the stuff I follow.

The ADSR controls are changeable but only by swapping out the opto-mod cards.
-
Have you posted on TB/the gear page too? Purple is very popular.

Worth asking Tom at Cog to see what he’d charge.

https://www.mu-tron.com/products/micro-tron-iv/ @Bo0tsy, I guess you’ll be buying one of these.

All in the manual, my friend. Read either the section on the boot menu or the FAQs.

Is your FI’s tune base set to 440? If you didn’t reset it after updating to v3, it will be sharp.
-
The FI accepts only 5-pin MIDI input. An expression pedal has a TRS connector. You need a piece of equipment to choose which MIDI CC message the expression will control and which has a 5-pin MIDI output. A cheap solution is the Source Audio Hub (and a good choice if you have a Source Audio pedal in your setup). Otherwise there are plenty of other choices from Boss, Disaster Area, Line 6, Morningstar etc that will serve your needs. If you don’t need it to be foot controlled, you could simply use an iOS or Android device with a MIDI app and control changes via the touch screen.

What does “one notch” represent in terms of cents on that tuner?
-
That is cool!
-
Probably the cable as some cheaper cables can’t handle large data streams.

Bargain price! -
What is the accuracy of the other tuners? The FI is accurate to 3 cents (i.e. three hundredths of a semitone) which is plenty accurate. It’s stable for me.
-
What will you be running the expression pedal through? There aren’t that many expression pedals that work as a stand-alone unit.
-
Moog EP-2 or EP-3 works fine.
-
How so? It’s what drives the pitch information for the synth so is pretty accurate. Remember that vibrating strings do vary in pitch depending on how hard they are struck. It’s definitely accurate enough for normal pitch variation in struck strings.
-
Yep. Got it for a good price too.
-
That’s what I thought from what you told me of it. -

Now get yourself something that can send expression signals to the FI. Cheap solution is a Source Audio Hub. I just picked up a Morningstar MC6 and it’s going to add so much potential.
-
Nice board. The tuner may be redundant as you could use the one built into the FI.
