Yes, unfortunately a second MIDI interface is needed for the software upgrade. It is easy to explain why. Quite simple, the processor has very limited memory. It is split in two parts, a smaller and a larger one. When power is applied, it starts in the larger memory, when the button is pressed...

I am really very sorry for that. The first email what you got was a standard text, where I entered only your name and the shipping cost, which is suited to your location. Since quite a lot of communications ends at this point, and people do not send confirmation that they want to buy, I did not...

Here is an amazing clip from Mohini Dey where she plays the Future Impact from 0:55-1:19 and 12:10-15:30.

Two more videos are ready for the Future Impact V4.51 Tutorial series, now 4 of them: 01: Unboxing 02: Setlist 03: Global Parameters 04: Sound Parameters The Youtube playlist is the same as before:

Many customers requested that they would like to have a video tutorial. We started to record a series of small video chunks that are easy to follow and contain all the most important things that users should know about the Future Impact. Here is a Youtube Playlist, containing the first two...

Now both PC editors (32 and 64 bit) are updated to contain the most recent 4.51 Addendum in the Help.

Sorry for publishing the upgrade while it was not quite complete (MAC editor and browser updater not published), but we had to hurry because the first new customers already got their devices with 4.51, and they did not have proper instruction for the upgrade. Now the MAC editor and the browser...

Mohini Dey gave a wonderful concert tonight in Budapest. As I heard that she was coming, I asked her if I could help her with anything. She said, although she has all Future Impact versions, her V1 was damaged during the last tour, and she would appreciate it very much if I could bring her a new...

V4.51 Firmware We hereby announce the release of the V4.51 firmware for the Future Impact V4 and V4 VIP. Released just a few weeks ago, the V4.5 firmware was probably the most important upgrade in the Future Impact’s ten-year history, with the FM synth engine, zero-latency tracking and the...

Future Impact is No. 4 on NO TREBLE's Top 10: https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2026/05/03/geddy-lees-new-bass-kiyoshi-kitagawa-tribute-lead-this-weeks-top-10/

I recommend to use it after the FI, but you can experiment with it as you like.

I am sorry to say, but we have absolutely no free time to make individual training sessions, we are 100% occupied with development work, but we will make tutorial demos videos. Maybe Peter can help you.

In the VA patches there is no ON and OFF, simply if Portamento Time is set to 0 then it is OFF. MIDI control of Portamento Time (CC5) will control the time between 0 and the preset value. So, if you want to use portamento, then you have to set explicitly the maximum required time in the patch...

We think that activating external MIDI takes more than just turning it on. First of all, it is very critical to set the optimal possible pitch bend range which can be different for each hard/soft synth. Furthermore, you should also set the optimal octave range and PC. Therefore we provided four...

This is a very good point to describe the difference between the two devices. We shall do all what we can to minimize the initial frustrating curve. Therefore we will also prepare some short tutorial videos.
