2 Notes Opus

Longtime/Early CabM adopter here.

I went all analog after phasing/latency issues with blending the CabM with a clean signal.
Here are a few qustions about the opus:
- Does it have a faster CPU than the CabM?
- In case I am not using a DynIr, can I use the EQ, LPF, HPF?
- What about latency when not using DynIRs?

Already posted this in the ReVolt thread, but thought I'd add it here as well. Really digging the Custom parametric EQ on the Opus
-----------

Forgive the sloppy cabling, still waiting on a few proper length patch cables, but I have finally finished my new ampless board. Have the HX One, Chorus and Compressor in the effects loop of the ReVolt which is going into the Opus. Actually just using the Opus for HPF/LPF and final EQ right now. Don't need the cab sims with my #1, which is a P Bass with flats. May still play around with some cab sims on my bass with rounds, but sounds pretty good with just the HPF/LPF. I use the vintage dirt channel 90% of the time, but I'm playing around with the amps on the Opus for an alternative to the clean channel and modern drive channel on the ReVolt. Two Notes has knocked it out of the park with the ReVolt and Opus.

Hi @gillento,

Apologies for the delay here! The CPU is the same, however the input architecture has been completely reworked to cater for the new high gain preamp models. There is also more memory in the unit for storage of up to 64 DynIRs.

You can indeed! The 3-mode EQ can be used independently of the DynIR Engine.

The following latencies are present in the unit and can be controlled via the Global Menu.
  • Latency is 2.2ms with an IR Length at 40ms
  • Latency is 3.5ms with an IR Length at 100ms
  • Latency is 4.8ms with an IR Length at 200ms
Let me know if you have any other questions!
 
I'm also interested in this: in my pedalboard I'm mixing the dry signal (from a OneControl Silver Para Bass Buffer) with the processed one (pedals, Revolt Bass & Opus); I've tried the different latency options with mixed and difficult-to-read results... this is due also to the fact that the Dirt channel on the Revolt actually invert the signal phase in respect to the other 2 channels (I've verified that with an oscilloscope). I've solved it by using the phase inversion on the DynIR microphones to compensate on the specific Opus preset associated with the Dirt Channel, but this way I'm bounded to use always the Opus signal in the mix. @AmyTwonotes can you asnwer gillento question? Does the latency on the Opus output depends on the effect/sims applied to the signal (TSM Preamp,Poweramp, DynIR, Post EQ, etc.) or it's fixed regardless of what is activated in the preset? (maybe because it's due mainly to the ADDA conversion). Let us know and thanks for the support !!

thanks a lot .

I am not sure if I get this 100% right:
In case I a NOT using any DynIr Speaker cab (muted? bypass?), just the preamp, poweramp, eq and enhancer, will thewe bw any latency/phasing issues when blending with an analog signal?

Hi @gillento and @james81bong,

Thank you for the follow up! If your analog signal is pre OPUS you may experience phasing as the OPUS' DSP will add a degree of latency as a result of the AD/DA conversion and the processing on the device.

If you use the Dual Mono routing option to send an unaffected signal via the 1/4-inch line output for your analog processing, this should mitigate this.

The system latency is fixed across the device and can be controlled via a dedicated menu in the Global Parameter menu

Let me know how you get on and if you have any further questions!

You would still need an interface. The usb is just for connecting to torpedo remote.
Cheers, bud.

I do have one of those small focusrite dual channel scarlett boxes. Should work the business.

Would be nice to have that functionality! One less piece of hardware.

I wonder if that feature is possible using the current hardware. Im sure it's not for reasons i wouldn't understand!
 
Anybody else get an email from Two Notes offering a free download link for the Genome "software ecosystem"? It all looks legit/above board, but I've been listed as a "long-standing Two Notes customer" despite owning the Torpedo for less than a year.

@AmyTwonotes can you confirm if this is a thing? It appears to have a new Ampeg fridge IR in it, which would be nice to check out. Even though I've been supremely satisfied with the Mesa Subway 212 IR, and rarely use anything else, I've not loved the in-house 810 IR that came with the hardware.

Is it from a .fr address?

Got it as well, seemed legit to me : points to the correct website, lists all the stuff you currently own (which is specific enough, unless they've had a data breach of some sort), and it does not ask anything from you... Just log-in as you normally would and check your licenses.
It is indeed weird that the sender is not the usual @two-notes.com but @orosys.fr, which is the name of the company, as shown on twonotes' website.
