Oh all the values on my pedal are already set to 5 on everything, so perhaps this will not be necessary?
-
I did not know about an online updater. It is mentioned very briefly next to the link but I figured it would be easier to just do it manually.. Yes I loaded the v3 presets I don't know what you mean by the last bit... How do I 'reset all' or set the time base??
-
Ok never mind I managed to figure it out! It seems that you have to use the old editor to update the firmware, but then use the new one to write the v3 presets onto the pedal. This is not mentioned in the instructions, the only time the editor is mentioned is when it says to use the currently installed version (which implies the old one?) I've managed to update successfully anyway thanks!
-
I'm having a hard time understanding these instructions sorry.. It says to: Launch your currently-installed version of the Editor; So I use the V1 editor to update to V3 :S? And also it keeps mentioning powering on: "Power on the FI holding both footswitches to put it into update mode;" "Reboot the FI to the boot menu by holding down PROGRAM while powering on." So I need to disconnect the power supply and turn it back on again at these steps?
-
Also, the update instructions say to download the v3.00 Distribution Package, but there is no package on the support page, only the individual editor, firmware and preset download links. Not a huge issue, but thought I'd let you know.
-
Damn well I'm very glad you've told me this thanks a lot! I wouldn't have sold mine, but being able to update it is great And that's really cool! Keep up the good work!
-
Well I recently visited the support page to get the default sounds (as I'd edited a lot of mine beyond the point of no-return) and saw: "Future Impact v3 Bass/Guitar Synthesizer Refresh your firmware to the latest version of 3.00" Now because I have v1 not v3, I did not think this applied to me and so I scrolled down to the legacy files. I'm not experienced with firmware and it didn't cross my mind that it would be possible to update the v1 firmware to v3. What exactly is the point of making a new pedal if the old one works with the new firmware?? Are there new components/effects/etc in the new model? Also do you work for pandaMidi?!
-
Oh I didn't know that! I'll update my firmware now then! I'm not sure what version I'm using currently, it's the newest non-v3 version I think though
-
I can't load your patches as theyre for the V3 and I'm on the V1, but there's a few patches like your Twinkles ones and I've not heard that effect before!
-
Yeah I used that a bit at first before I had a midi connector! I actually didn't think to refer to it for the Editor haha! There's still a few things I don't know how to use properly. Are your patches available online anywhere? Some of the sounds you've got there are so good! I'd be interested to see how you've got the parameters set up, some like the CMYP one are really similar to some that I've attempted but seem to have a little extra something ha -
Basically all you do is a Basically: You get a Roland UM-One MKII. to connect the pedal to your computer, then you use the Future Impact Editor (download from pandaMidi website) to edit/create/save your own patches. Getting your head round the Editor takes a minute but when you get to grips with it, it's fairly intuitive. I had no experience with programming or anything before this and within a few weeks of messing around I could make patches from scratch.

Jazz Bass bridges - What's the issue?
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
If I knew the answer to this, I wouldn't have posted a topic asking why people think they're terrible, would I lol? -
I've been playing for 11 years now, mostly self taught and I know a fair bit of theory but I've never actually sat down and learnt scales/modes etc and it's about time I think. Got a friend who's a pro bass player helping me out but any advice/suggestions/resources would be appreciated!
-
-
@Reggaebass oh that reminds me I have lots of similar books here that were given to me back when I started (I was a stubborn teenager and didn't want to learn scales/modes sigh) but better late than never!
Thanks for the suggestion

Not had any issues with my Future Impact yet, both the pedal and the software have been working fine all this year but now I can't seem to edit any of my equalisers. If I try to adjust the eq on any patch, then save and write, it will revert the eq back to how it was before I made any changes in this session> If I try to change any other parameters of the patch and save and write, it will save successfully. Anyone else had this happen to them? I've tried restarting my pc and the pedal, but it's still persisting.
-
These are amazing, the stock sounds are alright but once you get your head around the software and can start programming/editing your own sounds it's a whole other level
-
My MuTron Micro-Tron IV arrived today! Taken me a minute to get my head around how to get the tones I want, but first impressions are great!

Jazz Bass bridges - What's the issue?
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
@JapanAxe @King Tut BBOT? Bent bit of tin lol? I've tried doing some googling of that acronym but all I'm getting is vague forum posts or 'baked beans on toast' haha @hooky_lowdown whatever sounds best to you man! I'm just clearing up a decade-long held misconception I've had ! Thanks for all the responses, been very helpful. I'm pretty happy with the tone of my new bass (besides how bright the new strings are but they're wearing in nicely) so I'll probably leave the bridge! -
Jazz Bass bridges - What's the issue?
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
@John Cribbin @chris_b Ah I see,. I was always under the impression it has something to do with inadequate hardware, rather than a tonal thing -
I've always heard Jazz bass bridges are terrible, my friend changed his to a Badass bridge a few years back and that seems to be very common if I'm not mistaken. Can anyone explain why? I've just bought a MiM 5 string jazz and I'm wondering whether I should considering replacing the bridge.

Recommendations for Power Supply
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Accessories and Misc
https://www.thomann.de/gb/cioks_dc7.htm This one looks more like what I'm after with 7 outputs and selectable voltages. Also checking out other brands as well. -
Recommendations for Power Supply
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Accessories and Misc
Thanks, but that wouldn't solve the problem of needing at least 1 x 18v output -
Recommendations for Power Supply
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Accessories and Misc
Looks good, shame it doesn't have enough outputs though, and the DC8 version doesn't even have an 18v output -
What recommendations for power supplies (bricks) have you got? Been using a cheaper one for a while and it's producing a fair amount of noise now, so looking to upgrade. Needs to have at least 6 x 9v outputs and a 18v output Anyone have any experience with this: Palmer PWT 12 https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Palmer-PWT-12-Pedalboard-Power-Supply/2H1U

I've got a sunburst Musicman Stingray which has taken some knocks over the years, and has a few on the front of the body now and they always catch my eye when I play it They're not awful, but enough for me to consider stripping the finish off the body. As it's a sunburst, you can see the wood through the finish for most of the body, and I think that body has a fairly nice grain to it, so if anybody has any recommendations for where to get the body stripped down/polished then I'd be very grateful! Thanks
-
Anyone have any experience with these? What do you think? I'd love an SVT but I'm also considering cheaper and smaller options.
