    OK, is V3.01 is coming soon? I found your FI chord patches, they are working great! I guess that the expression control of inversion is not released yet? I am eager to see the face of my fellow guitar players when I start taking their spot with a mere saxophone :-) I will write to James...

    Hi Peter, I have been trying your MC6 patches. On Bank 1, I am surprised to see Prg Up and Bank Down/Up, since the MIDI CCs are not described in the manual. And indeed, those presets do not work. Is it that you are using a new unreleased firmware? On Bank 2 (chords), could you send the...

    This is great Peter, many thanks!!! I got the MC6, it's very versatile (not just with the Future Impact, I am using mostly to pilot the H9 now). My only minor complaint is the absence of a USB-MIDI host (available on the DMC however), but nothing is perfect... Here's some unrelated yet useful...

    I don't know, I'm not proficient enough on bass to compare the tracking with saxophone. Saxophone brings several challenges though: the attack is not as punchy as on bass, and the sound much richer harmonically. In addition, one needs to find a good pickup microphone solution to play live.

    Here is a little feedback on Future Impact V2 from an electrified saxophonist (am I the only wind player around here?). With the new guitar mode and the improved pitch tracking, Future Impact V2 is truly a game changer for wind instruments. On V1, I was only able to use the lowest range of the...

    Bummer, I can't make the update with the M-audio. Tried many times with several versions of the editor, to no avail. I will try the browser method, but probably that won't help. Since you are working on the manual of the V3 (thanks so much for this btw!), maybe giving a more narrow list of best...

    Thanks for the information! Thus there's no point to wait further. I am using the M-audio, both ports are connected, and selected in the menu. It's a first time for the firmware update, but I've had no problem so far to transfer patches. I will abort and retry.

    Hi, do you know how long should take the transfer for a firmware update? It's been been blinking with the message "Loading Update" for about 30 minutes. I don't know if I should abort and retry, or simply wait longer. S.

    Hi András and all, I have a question regarding saving presets and using them in live situation. It is very cumbersome to use a double tap to scroll down, and it could be more practical to store only the 3 or 4 presets that one will really use at a gig, and to scroll them in a circular way with...

    Hi András, people have told you this already, but I find it wonderful that you are checking this thread and continuously proposing improvements to the FI ! I am mostly using the FI as a clean or dirty down-octaver, because the low end of the bari sax is limited by the C above the 4-string bass...

    I also like modulation effects after the FI, they bring life to the pedal, which can sound cold otherwise. My personal favorite right now is the Dynaphase effect found in the Bubbletron pedal from Keeley. It runs two phasers in parallel, leading to unusual and organic modulations on long synth...

    Hi all, As a recent owner of the Future Impact, I wanted first to thank all of you for the instructive contributions on this forum and the useful sharing thread. Since it took me some time to figure out, I have a small tip for potential Linux users, who might hesitate to purchase this pedal...
