Update for anyone interested, I've been using the head DI'ed into my interface with no issues. Nice clean signal 👍 -
This is in line with some of what I read, thanks for confirming.
-
Thanks 👍That's what I meant to say in my first option, I said tube but meant valve.
-
Thanks, good shout. Thanks for the reply, mine was built 2006 (checked serial with Ashdown previously).
-
I've been reading conflicting answers to this question.. I was considering using my Ashdown ABM EVO II 500 as an on-desk DI option without a cab, however I'm not sure if it's safe to do so. Some sources say you can run DI out of solid state amps/hybrid amps without a cab/load box, where as you should not do this for valve amps* Other sources say that you should not run a head without a cab at all, whether they are solid state, hybrid or tube. If anyone has the answer I'd be grateful, thanks
-
Shame they're 8ohms, would have them otherwise -
Won't running a 4ohm amp into 8ohm cabs halve the heads output? EDIT: ignore me, got my wires crossed for a second. -
Yeah definitely, there's quite a lot of content out there for the C4 synth, by comparison, by both the creators and other users. Source Audio put out a 12min video a few months back showing how to download presets and programme your own, I don't believe anything like this exists for the Future Impact. The only demos that exist just showcase the sounds of complete patches, as you say. The manual is great, and this forum is amazing! but even a video briefly going over the sections of the editor, showcasing changes in parameters etc would be really great for new users. This pedal has been my gateway in synths, programming, and then production in general so a lot of the terminology and concepts were completely new to me, and I bet the same is true for a lot of people buying synth pedals in general. Learning through trial and error was lots of fun, but a visual resource that shows someone programming in some patches, talking about the basics of each area of the editor and letting the viewer hear the changes would be really useful and make the product more accessible for sure
-
Oh I see, lots to try out! Yes it really is an improvement I've been hoping for an organiser/manager like this since I bought the pedal! Great stuff
-
Do you mean, saving my different types of sounds in different files, and saving them file by file? IE: first file is loaded into banks 1-10, next file loads into 11-20 and so on? I did consider this but wasn't sure if it'd cause issues when writing to the pedal.
-
This new manager and global directory is a game changer. For the first time in nearly 3 years of owning the pedal, I finally have 99 banks that I could genuinely use, rather than like, 10-20. Would definitely recommend sitting down with the manual for an hour or two and getting to grips with it, opens up so many doors! My only wish for the manager would be that you could drag a patch to a spot before others, rather than being limited to just moving to a blank tile or swapping patches. For example ideally, dragging patch 10 to slot 1 would move patches 1-9 down a space. This would seriously speed up rearrange/organisation of patches, especially as you start to fill up the 99 tiles, it can be hard moving things around if you change your mind on ordering. Also some more flexible form of colour coding would be cool. Creating your own categories based on tones/sound/styles rather than just instrument type would be handy visually.
-
Thanks for the tip. Also, removing the hyphens/apostrophe's from patch names solved the problem, patches written successfully 👍
-
No, the glitch (as shown before in my previous photos - glitched text and then no synth audio) happens upon powering up of the pedal. It's only ever happened to me twice. The previous time you helped, and today. I have not changed/added any patches on the pedal since the last time you helped me (it still has the stock 3.6 presets while I build my new 99) I'm not sure what else could be causing it other than a power issue. Perhaps I'll try to replace this unit, though it wasn't exactly a cheapo power supply and has handy adjustable outputs.
-
Ok I'll try that later on, thanks ! ALSO: The glitch I had previously occurred again today, solved again via Reset All. You suggested it could have been a power blip causing a memory corruption, I wonder if this is true.
-
I'm getting communication error messages when the manager/editor tries to upload certain patches, specifically certain ones you've created. Any idea why that might be? So far it's failed when getting to both the 'Chameleon' and 'Ain't Nobody' patches on different occasions.
-
That was the plan
-
At least it's no longer possible anyway!
-
3.6 looks good though. Need to get my head around the Manager now... but it looks like it solves a lot of problems like patch ordering/organisation etc. No more renaming files?!😍
-
I was using the correct editor for the firmware I had, though. I was running v3 editor with v3 firmware, and then updated to v3.6 during our troubleshooting session
-
I would go to the patch before the one with Flexi EQ assignments, open the Graphic view on the Equalizer section, then go back to the patch with the Flexi EQ assignments, open the Equalizer section, and the Graphic view would be visible. If I then went to the Slider view, I could not get back to the Graphic view by clicking, and would have to do the trick over again. However it is worth noting that I was using the v3 editor, I only updated to 3.6 during our troubleshooting (skipping any versions between 3 and 3.6), so perhaps this was only possible on v3..? I have not tried to replicate this in the v3.6 editor yet, but as soon as I get some time I will try it, although it sounds like you already have?
-
Ok sure, I'll try to recreate what I did again tomorrow. Will report back with what happens.
-
Maybe, either way I won't be exploiting any workarounds with the Graphic/Slider EQ Panel view again, just in case lol!
-
No, everything is working fine now. Thank you 👍
-
It's working! I kinda forgot about the Boot Menu if I'm being honest... Thank you so much for your help as always, hero!! Worth noting that when I went to the Boot Menu and then went to Instrument Mode, all the options when turning the parameter dial were the glitched display I showed in my last post (all other modes displayed the correct things), so perhaps that was where the issue was?
-
Sure, just tried it. Updated and loaded the default patches with nothing else hooked up to power supply and using a different power output, problem still persists . Here's what it displays upon power up (in order):
