Owen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 A way of registering interest with the seller would be very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Just listened to those soundclips, and the FI definitely sounds more useful to me now than on the YT video. just one q, can it work as a pitch to midi converter? i mean, if i plug a bass in, and then send midi out from the FI to a [s]gameboy[/s]synth, could i trigger notes on the [s]gameboy[/s]synth by playing them on bass, or does the FI just accept midi note data in?

[/quote] The TB thread says no. It doesn't do bass-to-MIDI. It does have a pretty complete MIDI-to-bass implementation though (so you can plug it into a keyboard to act as the sound module) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebo213 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Definitely interested in this. Its cool that they are still developing Midi stuff in almost 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Guys, do I understand this right? With the midi input of the pedal, could I potentially run a set of midi Taurus-like pedals into the Future Impact and use it as a sound module? If so, could this be on my pedal board, plugged in as usual with my bass, but with the midi pedals in also, and switch back and forth between the two? If so, I am very happy...

[/quote] You'd better hope it's a roaring success, then a certain proportion will appear on the s/h market for about 2/3 of that. Conversely, if the pedal goes out of production quickly, it will achieve legendary status and fetch wallet-worrying prices on eBay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It is bloody expensive, but I can still see myself ordering one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Bit of newb in this area.... what's the difference between the Future Impact and say a SY300 at £500? Seems the latter has much more editing optons or am I missing something? (Or comparing apples and oranges?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Pedal is now ready to order, tempting! €426, so around £308 delivered, expensive but still a good price compared to how much Deep Impact have been selling for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, but the kind of people paying £700 for a Deep Impact will not be considering buying this. The Bass Whammy reissue was price much better, has sold well and killed off the market for the vintage ones as it sounds and works better all round. Digitech, though, are somewhat larger and the costs of getting this off the ground may well have been high. I'm still so torn on this. It needs to be a big improvement on the Deep Impact to justify the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 ok, i thought since this is a uk forum i suggest something for you: i will play a show in london in march with an orchestra. if there is serious interest (and somebody willing to organise a room) i could take the pedal with me and anybody that is in london and interested could test it then. what do you think? this way you know what you buy!
