A little tease. Wasn't sure about which Chameleon patch was more accurate when I made them yesterday (I need to go back with fresh ears). FI4 tease.mp3

Correct, you can route your dry input into the filter (with separate pre- and post-distortion level controls) without having the synth be active; this is how I program stuff like envelope filters on the FI. Any standard cheap USB-to-MIDI cable will work. Worth having a read of the FAQs at the end of the manual as it may answer stuff you want to know.

Even it were a B15, I imagine it’d be the same format as the other BassRigs so the cab sim would not be defeatable on the XLR in engaged mode. From the teaser, I’m thinking it might be more like a Marshall recreation for guitarists (and maybe bass).

There are quite a few high profile players using these kinds of pedals on stages: Mohini Dey, Chris Wolstenholne, Mike Gordon, off the top of my head.

Stuff like that is eminently possible, but I can’t see that most folks would want it to come at the expense of the engage/bypass switch. Besides, that has other functionality (tuner and access to global menu) that would become inaccessible due to long-press-to-scroll if replacing it with program down.

There’s so much amazing music on the ACT label.

It seemed their manufacturing just couldn’t keep up with the demand. It’s been a big hit.

Sadly this got rejected at the review stage. https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/6c5ba1de-c5d4-4221-9f3d-0a4be46b8db2?tab=official-updates

Just giving this a wee bump. Wouldn’t mind another crack at the Capo as I think it might be a good fit for my P with rounds as long as I’m not trying to make it sound vintage/tubey.

It’s not within my remit to speak to this. Also, I’ve not even begun updating the manual yet, partly because there are still some discussions about some other cool ideas that may end up going into the next update. I don’t want to start writing until all updates have been finalised. The FI4 in its current state is still the better pedal. The main difference that MIDI-shy folks will benefit from with the next update is some new presets that will be in the factory sound set, some nice onboard patch management and portamento on audio-triggered playing. Those features are in and working as expected. (The other potential stuff being discussed is more for folks who’ll use the deeper editing functions and will offer some cool extended sound creation possibilities.)

They explicitly said they weren’t discontinuing the original. I definitely want the upgraded version (when it comes down in price a chunk) for the bigger headphone port and full-size MIDI ports. The automated fils will be useful too.

Again, quite a lack of exposure online. The FI is capable of some pretty great sounds (thought Meris have the edge in nicer built-in effects).

Basically because MXR have sunk a lot of money into marketing and Panda haven’t.
