    Have you got source set to “external expression”? Have you set the mini

    minimum and maximum percentages in the editor?

    Is there a trimpot on the expression pedal and is it set fully open to give maximum range?

    thanks again

    Is the adapter TRRS or TRS?

    You can get the Source Audio 3.5mm TRRS cables from them. Just email them. 

    Great thanks - will do - I honestly don't know if the cable is TRRS or TRS - it came with the SA Dual Expression pedal so I would assume so - will check

    i assume you have the SA dual expression?

     

    if so just use any standard TRRS cable?

    It came with its own TRRS cable - I have an adapter for from 6.3 to 3.5mm cable which I use for my Keith McMillen Softstep 2 - that has always worked fine when I've used it for operating a 'virtual' Whammy pedal in Guitar Rig 5 - which is why I'm wondering why the C4 is having an issue with it... as I said previously I probably just need to get stuck in and see if it's a setting in the editor that can sort this

    You didn’t answer @GisserD‘s question - are you plugging straight into the C4 using a  Source Audio 3.5mm TRRS cable or are you using a standard 6.3mm TRS cable into a Hub first?

    If you’ve simply stuck a stereo 6.3mm-to-3.5mm adaptor on the end of your cable then it won’t work as the rings and sleeves won’t match the contacts. You might be able to fudge it by pulling the cable out slightly. 

    Oh, that's probably why - I have an adapter - where can I get a Source Audio 3.5mm TRRS cable?

    There is a trim pot - I’ll have a bit more of a fiddle with that and see if it changes how it behaves - the exp pedal works fine on my filter pedal so I know that it’s working - and yes it’s definitely set to external expression. I’ve also tried changing the min-max values in the editor - I’ll do some further investigation soon.... what puzzled me most was the calibration didn’t seem to work - I use an exp pedal with my Softstep 2 controller and calibrating that is fine... any other thoughts are most welcome 

  6. Fellow C4 owners - I'm having an issue with using an expression pedal - I have a Source Audio one in case you're wondering - bascially once I assign a control to the pedal the dial jumps from min to max and doesn't move smoothly... I've tried callibrating it in the settings but had no joy so far... any tips on how to do this properly would be appreciated - thanks :)

    I'll give myself a slight Chinese burn if there are black Friday deals on the C4! 🙂

    Somehow I doubt you’ll find one in the ‘sale’ bedlam out there - unless you happen to have a discount code 😀 - enjoy!

  8. Mine finally arrived after a month of waiting - very happy with this little monster - the tracking is insanely good - actually better and more expressive than any MIDI solution I’ve tried so far - and while I LOVE the Meris Enzo - the tracking on the C4 is really stunning - with the added bonus of stupendous sounds too 😎

  9. I've had this pedal for a few months and it's seriously fantastic - it's had only home use and is in absolute mint condition with all original packaging. I need to let it go to free up some funds and this is currently a bit surplus to my requirements.

    I'm happy to throw in the Meris MIDI I/O box as this really opens up the pedal's possibilities as you can connect via Bluetooth and dive deep inside via the iPhone/iPad app into the pedal's filters, delays and wave shaping possibilities - but will sell the Enzo on its own for £220 - or with the MIDI box for £270 + P&P

    I live in south London so happy to arrange collection - or can post within the UK

    Thanks for reading - DM if you're interested

    The Meris Enzo is a multi-voice synthesizer pedal the builds supreme synth soundscapes.

    Have you ever wanted to discover new tonal inspirations but either struggled with the way regular synth-style pedals either tracked on notes or that they could just sound weak and lifeless? Well look no further, as finally the ultimate synth pedal has landed and it will send your tone beyond the horizons!

    The Meris Enzo is a multi-voice synthesizer that will perfectly track your guitar for tight monosynth leads, complex chord polyphony, or multi-note sequenced arpeggiation with tap tempo and all without the need for a special pickup!

    Also, Enzo is not limited to just guitars. In fact, you can use the pedal pretty much on any instrument or line-level signal. Whether you choose to transform your beats on a drum machine, synthesize vocals or completely transform additional synths, loops or any other type of audio, Enzo’s complete synthesizer tool palette takes your sound to whole new realm.

    In addition, Enzo holds one of the most musical custom 6-mode filter section ever developed, a built-in compressor, dual delay line, ring modulator, portamento options, multiple envelope types, vast MIDI capabilities and the ability to seamlessly morph between sounds via an external expression pedal. Enzo is not just another synth pedal, it’s an instrument that will inspire your creativity and musicality for years to come.

    There was a guy who lived near where I used to live and he had a Peavey midi bass, each fret was split so that he was getting the midi signals that was then fed into whatever actual synth he wanted. It was awesome. 

    Hey guys - I’ve been doing a load of R&D on this whole midi bass thing - it’s a big subject - of course the only big snag with a midi / synth bass is getting the soft synths integrated into your live rig - the obvious answer is either s Bass GR thing or a soundcard running into and out if a laptop - I have to say I’ve been massively impressed with the Jam Origin Midi Guitar 2 - I tracks incredibly well and is polyphonic https://www.jamorigin.com/ - it’s also £80 - a damn sight cheaper than getting a Fret Trax midi neck built (£3,000 the last time I checked) - and that work really well running into a DAW (I use Ableton, but should work with any MIDI friendly DAW). 

    Re Darude style synth sounds - I don’t know for sure but I suspect that fast choppy line is heavily edited and layered / sequenced - I doubt it was played live or if it was it was probably edited after - so very hard to replicate with a midi bass or guitar running some soft synths - but I’d love to see/hear someone try 🙂 

    I’ve recently got an Enzo which I’m loving - very cool for seamless chords and arpeggios - the mono mode is great - can’t track that fast but it is dynamic and works great for synth bass lines

  11. Hey all

    I love this pedal but it’s just not getting used - it’s been well looked after and is in very good condition - it’s a really funky filter with a super cool vintage vibe.

    OK - dropping the price on this one to £135 including P&P in the UK

    thanks for checking this out - looks like these beauties are hard to get hold of now so grab this while you can innit 🙂

    Here’s the manufacturer’s blurb:

    Maxon’s take on the legendary Mu-Tron III, the AF-9 Auto Filter uses special optical circuitry to reproduce the liquid, shimmering, vowel-like envelope filtering that made the Mu-Tron a staple of 70’s Funk and Soul music.

    The AF-9's intuitive user interface makes it easy to dial in the effect – slider pots are used for Threshold and Peak controls to allow for quick changes to the response and tonality of the filter. The Threshold control determines the degree of pick attack needed to trigger the filter.

    Specifications

    • Optical Envelope Filter ala’ vintage Mu-Tron III
    • Funky, liquid, vowel-like Wah effects
    • Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass filters
    • Low and High operation ranges
    • Threshold and Peak sliders
    • Up/Down Drive switch
    • True Bypass Switching

  12. Hey all

    Just thought I'd share a new track I put together recently - I got myself a Meris Enzo and really love it - still getting my head around the countless possibilities it offers but this track just uses the love Saw Tooth wave setting and I'm using a bit of filtering in Ableton to add to the swell effect. The tune kind of needs a lead vocal or something on it - there is a melody - but I wanted to improv solo over it here - used my Bass Whammy for the solo later on - hope you dig it

    I'm a little out of touch with Iron Ether, what are the differences between your model and the current version in the vid?

    I think the only difference is that the one in the video has an expression pedal blend control - so you can mix in how much the effect of using the expression pedal is heard - aside from that it does all the same stuff... these are hard to get hold of and have to be ordered before being built by IE...
