Hmm I had no idea about that! A strange and annoying quirk that seems like it would cause all sorts of problems. Can't remember if it has been open or not tbh. Will have another go, thanks for flagging that!

It’s a really annoying Windows limitation - it only allows a single USB-MIDI device to be active at a time.

Boring midi problems aside, I'm interested to know the current progress on implementing portamento/glide on audio trigger. For me that is still the number one feature limitation (as opposed to quality of life issue) of the FI4.

Already done and working.

On a pedal that can do a billion different things - What’s “that” sound? 

 

The first preset. There are demos of it in the MXR synth pedal thread.

Brilliant! Can't wait to give it a go.

 

Amidst all the focus on preset management, I hope the idea of changing a subset of the default presets (ideally the first bank) to some of your more 'classic' bass sounds hasn't fallen by the wayside for any upcoming release. For obvious reasons I'd think it a particular selling point if one of these was a sound with e.g. square/pulse and saw layered.

I also have a more general question about tracking and strings/instrument EQ. Are spanking new roundwounds likely to track better than older? How about flats? What about the effect of tone controls on the instrument itself? Or pickup position? Any safe generalisations?

 

It's possible I've asked something similar before, in which case forgive me.
