How's about a nice 15 or 30 band rack style EQ?

Bonus points for the inclusion of a high pass filter.

I want a Sansamp RBI rack style!

Yeah we're not pushy or fickle in wanting more more more.

Calvin could you send me a new MIA FENDER P please....thx

Rip Topaz · #**803** 01-26-2013, 02:48 PM

I've been doing some thinking about DIs and such. And since my rig is going to a direct box, I'd like to get rid of low frequency rumble and upper frequency noise by way of either an EQ or a high pass/low pass filter.

I know there are specific pedals for this, but for the sake of this thread and my dream for a complete iOS bass rig on my phone, lets keep it in app.

Your peerless skills as a bassist and IOS recording artist are clearly not matched by your skills as an internet researcher...

Actually, they are launching a new IOS audio interface called iConnectMUSE. There was some stuff on their website about it a few months ago, but the pages are locked down now.

Google it as two separate words (iConnect MUSE), and you'll find some YouTube videos and other stuff on it.

Assuming that it gets past the vaporware stage at this NAMM, it looks really interesting. Tons of I/O, every gozinta and gozouta connector you can think of, really nice form factor.

fDeck's HPF preamp rocks. I've played with the latest version in the flesh, and it works much better than any EQ, parametric or otherwise. It's amazing how much subsonic stuff you can filter out of your signal with one of these.

You can actually watch your speakers go from pumping like crazy to barely moving, without losing any perceptible volume, heft or fullness. The amount of wasted headroom it recovers is ridiculous.

To implement that steep a digital high pass filter in an iPad audio app would be a simple matter of a bit of geek math, and having it would be AWESOME.

Calvin can only give you virtual items, so Calvin might give you a MIA P bass stomp box in Jamup.

You guys are into something. Would be very useful if PG implement such a unit in Jamup.

HPF-Pre is a good idea, will look into it, probably add it to the Bass Pack II.

Great!
Btw Calvin, the mids switch on the Blueline have 1-2-3 numbering on it but only position 1 and 3 have values! Is it possible for you guys to add a value to position 2?

Duke21 · #**810** 01-27-2013, 01:51 AM

Calvin, I also wanted to add this:
The latest update rocks. I can use the iTrack with both channels now, and there are lots of improvements and new small features!!
It is not only me, but most/ all of us here really appreciate PG involvement and enthusiasm regarding supporting us bass players. Jamup and Positive Grid are for sure the bass amp sim for iOS!!

Duke speaks the truth.
I haven't even opened another sim app this year!!

It would be awesome to just have the pedal, because I'm finding myself using a ton of pedals to create the tone of the VT Bass, which leaves me without pedal slots for other effects.

Rip we want the new VT bass DI!!

SansAmp news from NAMM

Considering that our iOS systems ARE the DI portion, I just want the drive/speaker sim effect. Maybe use the BDDI as a starting point, and redesign it a bit.

adambomb · #**814** 01-27-2013, 07:45 AM

Calvin did you guys do any adjustments to the tuner it appears that you have but I need confirmation. And....is what have you guys done to adjust the gk it is becoming my second favorite when it was my 4th of the bass pack before.

If you notice this VT bass have a blend knob which is not to be found on the regular VT bass!

I agree. The GK sounds tighter now, the low end especially but the amp as a whole just sounds better.

adambomb · #**817** 01-28-2013, 06:22 AM

Did we run Calvin away?

adambomb · #**819** 01-28-2013, 07:24 AM

I know. I was just playin... I knew we didn't run him off I saw where he posted and threw out a few questions and the thread went a record low for posts yesterday...

it moves so fast here. I just wanted to get things going again today.

The new vt DI looks awesome!!!!
It looks more like the bddi but so much more.

Im at work so i cant go searching at the moment. Any more iOS news from namm.... Anyone?

Rip Topaz · #**820** 01-28-2013, 07:33 AM

Haven't seen anything that really stood out to me.

Plus, I've been focusing on my new band!! I get the stitches out today, and I'm hoping it allows me to work a little longer before having to stop for a break.

I've been dying to get to work rearranging the bandroom for the new project. It's a low-key, acoustic rock thing, so rehearsal setup needs to be as such. I'm planning a very comfortable setup for everyone so we can focus on creating some new music!!

I'll be posting full songs as we write them. I'm gonna try to record a few of them from start to finish using my iOS setup, so stay tuned for that.
