Ironically the filter is better than all the ones in the C4 and Spectrum, juicier and full range.

It does “normal” very well too.

Well, I fell off the gear abstinence thread wagon pretty spectacularly after just one day. First an Origin BassRig 64 and then a ridiculously inflated Octabvre MKII. I regret nothing, other than foolishly selling the latter years ago for about 45% of what I’ve just paid to get another. (I may need to sell a couple of things to recoup some costs; if anyone is after a Source Audio Artifakt, my spare one may be appearing soon.)

Anyone else interested in this pedal?

The BassRig pedals can be used through a normal amp: the 1/4” dispenses with the cabinet simulation and has some adjustable parameters so that you can compensate for the amp you’re using. I have no hands-on experience yet as I’m yet to receive the 64 I bought.

I personally wouldn’t buy one on the strength of that video. I would like to hear some more real-world examples.

Wee bump. Please keep the requests coming, folks so this happens.

A few years old but the bassline to Mel C’s “Blame It On Me” would probably sound good done on bari.

Well, I didn’t last very long. Just bought @Grav’s Origin BassRig 64!

Also experiment with running the fuzz and octave in series vs in parallel, and play around with where in the chain you place the chorus too. Fuzz>chorus + octave will give a different result from octave>fuzz>chorus, as will enabling/disabling the dry signal on the latter setup.

This is what got me into the music. Frankly the studio album was a bit of a letdown after this as I much preferred these stripped-back versions. Great backing vocals too.

Check Scary Pockets too (much of the same bunch of people).

I’ll play though I may not be in long. Is this just for bass-related gear (i.e. are synths exempt)?

Please consider supporting this amazing Lego project. It’s a 1:1 scale model. Support costs nothing: merely create a Lego ideas account and click a button. https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:6c5ba1dec5d442219f3d0a4be46b8db2

Yeah, I had the same thought when I saw one a while ago. Or the makers have a keen sense of irony.

If you plan on getting the Morningstar new then either from https://thorpyfx.com/collections/morningstar-engineering or from https://shop.morningstar.io

You can do the programming on the Morningstar pedal itself but it’s a bit cumbersome (this is where Mortrix excels). However, the Morningstar app is browser-based so no need to install software and it’s very easy to use. There’s also a mobile version. You can play around with both versions without having a pedal connected to check the interface out.

Looks like it should. Haven’t heard of this one before so can’t vouch for reliability or continued firmware support though. (I’ve used Morningstar for years and have worked with them on features and firmware updates for the past few years so can absolutely vouch for them, hence my recommendation.)

You’ve got the Octabvre Mini, right?

A bit pricier than what you may have in mind but a Morningstar MC3 or MC6 is what I’d recommend. These will unlock loads of potential in the FI and if you add any more MIDI pedals in the future, they’ll be able to control those too. They come up used reasonably often. Panda make their 4Control, which allows up to 2 double footswitches or two expression pedals (or one of each) to be connected.

Something like Roland UM-One MK2. For the FI 4, any generic USB-to-MIDI cable should work (though I’ve not tried to see if my phone would handle such a cable yet). If using an iPhone then the Apple Camera Connection Kit adapter is also needed. In terms of apps, the free version of TouchOSC, Midi Designer Pro X or any of the other free MIDI controller apps which can send CC and PC messages will work.
