Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone can help with this? 

 

I'm looking for a synth pedal that can cover 2 songs:

 

INXS elegantly wasted

and

INXS dissappear (the piano type sound at the start) 

 

Would the future impact be able to do these? All the pedals I've seen demod are pretty much static notes. 

 

Any help appreciated.

Hi folks

 

I sold my FI a while ago but now the band I'm in might give me more opportunity to use some synth sounds. I can't for the life of me remember how well the FI does standard effects like chorus, octave and phaser? I think the octave was pretty good but don't remember trying the others, which would make it more likely to find acceptance within my setup.

 

Thoughts?

Chorus/flanger is pretty solid, though mono only. I made some reasonable phaser patches using the EQ effect to create two notch filters. Octave is pretty good.

I got a FI again today courtesy of @martthebass (it might have been yours originally @Quatschmacher
 

I have been A/B testing your Micro-Tron presets with my Mutrons and I have to say number 8 was sooo close - I played with it a tiny bit and it’s really good. Thanks!

No, it wasn’t mine. I still have my original one. I think I did hook Mart up with the seller though.

 

Glad to hear you like the presets. Those work best when used with the global note-on setting set to 1 as they’ll trigger at lower dynamic levels. What did you alter?

Yeah, thanks - the filter responds really well and mimics the Mutron really well especially in the higher range. The settings I changed were more to suit my attack and the range really, so I think I changed the range/sensitivity and the mixer a bit, nothing much.

 

I will be trying to sort an octaver, chorus and phaser patch next, before loading up some of the synths I made when I last had the pedal. Fortunately because I had already configured everything and I'm using the Roland UM-ONE again, it all worked fine when I reinstalled the software. I was expecting problems!

I just ordered one. Now going to go through the 47 pages on here 🙃

Have a read through the manual I wrote. Should be linked on the second post on the first page. Edit - actually I needed to update it to link to the latest versions. All done now.

Community input needed:

For clarification, Legacy Patch Selection Mode is the one where you use the program button to cue a patch within a single bank of 10 then use the on/off button to engage it. Contrast this with the Direct mode (the default) where pressing the program button increments through all 99 patches.

 

Personally I never use legacy mode and would happily see it removed to make space for more useful upgrades/fixes.

I didnt know about that mode but think it might suit me quite well since I find going ‘down’ patches with a double press a bit tricky. How do I engage that mode? I can then put my favourite ten patches in a bank…

I knew this was on the original version, but thought it had been phased out. I don’t really use more than ten patches, so could be useful. That said, been working fine without it, so not really a problem either way.

It’s in the boot menu. Page 16-17 of the manual will give you the info:

PS, this is why I recommend some kind of external MIDI switcher: it allows more customisable ways to access patches (such as cycling through any number or patches in whatever order you like, without their having to be numerically next to one another.

Thanks, I have just engaged Legacy mode, I think it'll be really useful!
