I heard from Adam today also and he mentioned something about a new CopilotFX tour box about to hit the states. Can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve!

yes! I'm definitely gonna put together some clips as soon as I get my pedalboard together.

This is kind of my first dwelling into the world of stompboxes and I'm going straight for blood!

I already have the OC-2 and I'm getting the broadcast plus an Orbit and soon a Xero Deluxe. At the end of the summer I might be able to get a Frantabit and maybe a Freqbox that I wanna try so bad...
There are so many pedals in the horizon!! Lots of fuzzes and fun stuff but I gotta take it slow. By the end of the year I should have a sketch of what my pedalboard will be.
sigh.....

but with the Broadcast, OC-2, Xero, and Orbit I should be able to get the sound I'm thinking for this one composition in 13/4 I've been wanting to put a dubstep break on....

It should be an interesting journey....

I think I'm not getting the Broadcast soon...

Adam told me that he doesn't know when he will be revising the code for it to have the x3 subdivision in the ratio... So that was kind of a dealbreaker for me.

I will still buy it, but I will wait for him to revise the code because triplets are definitely important to me!

Triplets?!?

I just got home from work, and my broadcast just arrived in the mail, and has a 3 above the ratio knob. I don't have a TRS patch cable to test it with right now either. But I'm assuming for now that mine does triplets. I didn't order it that way so it was a surprise.

Jeff Moote · #84 01-25-2012, 09:06 PM

Yes, by the look of it yours is similar to mine that he did about a month ago. The ratio will go through 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 1/2x when controlled by the knob and 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 1/2x when controlled by exp.

So cool! More than I was bargaining for, love it when that happens.

Hey guys...I just got a broadcast in as well to use with my xero. However, when it is hooked up it seems that it raises the cutoff freq substaintially. To the point that the sweep seems fairly small. Anyone else have anything like this?

The bottom end of the frequency should be set by the xero and the top end of the sweep by the Broadcast, try turning the range CW on the Broadcast and CCW on the Xero and adjust from there.

tlaubs · #88 01-30-2012, 01:36 PM

I am bottomed out on the freq on the xero, and normally that is all sub bass area...

Dark Barn · #89 01-30-2012, 01:58 PM

Did you get the Broadcast mod that allows manual expression? If so is the switch on the correct side? *shrug* I know it took a little tweaking to get mine to sound how I wanted, but I didn't have the issue you are describing.

tlaubs · #90 01-30-2012, 02:54 PM

yeah it does have the exp control mod and expression control of multiplier.

alec · #91 06-08-2012, 03:58 AM

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Can anyone else chime in about how easy/hard the tap tempo is to use - in terms of what Marc said earlier?

Not only that, but the tap has to be performed on the downsweep of the waveform to make it work (same with changing multipliers).

It can be a bit tricky, but Adam has done an update to the way it works that should make it a lot better. He is modding existing ones for free, and I assume all new ones will have this version:

-Retap: in the previous code the user had to wait 3 cycles in order to retap/change the tempo, now you can retap without wait
-Real time control of the ratio in the sample and hold and escallonated waves, so now you can adjust them on the fly and not wait to their end for the change
-Option to turn the ratio into a traditional rate control (the tap switch wont do anything, when the toggle is in this position)****needs a toggle switch

Has anyone tried this with the Line 6 M Series?

Very interested having seen what a MP201 can do.

basspatel · #94 11-15-2012, 03:23 PM

I'm about to get one of the Custom Broadcasts
Has anyone tried it with the new updates? Is it easier to get the tempo right?
thanks

tlaubs · #95 11-15-2012, 04:29 PM

I just got an updated IV for mine and I think it makes it much easier to get the tempo right. Also makes changing the subdivision with expression pedal easier/more accurate.

+!

I've had very little time to play my broadcast since the new chip arrived, but the little time I've had has been great. Any problem that I had with the Broadcast has been addressed. It's easier to tap the tempo and to control the subdivisions. The triplets sound great, too.

I'm working on a video of the BC in action with some different pedz. Stay tuned...

autopilot · #97 11-15-2012, 07:41 PM

yeah, all new broadcast comes with the updated ic and a toggle to select the if the ratio is multiplier or will work as a normal rate control. The ratio will adjust in realtime, the old ones in the escallonated and sample hold wave had to wait for awhile to adjust.

If you have an old broadcast, you can drop me an email.

And here's a neat trick, you can send some of the outs (like the envelope out on the filter or lfo out on the ring mod) on your moogs (with a trs cable) to the exp in (for those who have modded/custom ones) to manipulate the ratio/rate. Giving more crazy options for your enjoyment of experimentation and sonic manipulation

thanks guys! what a great resource talkbass is....

msterling - looking forward to your video!
