Future Impact now available!! WAS: deep impact reissue!!! interested?

Well, a “clean” patch isn’t really clean, it is not true bypass. AD/DA conversion occurs in that case. (As a benefit you can adjust bass volume level for that patch though.)

I think he meant a patch where it is off. I have a patch that is all MIDI and all stompboxes off.

Here’s a link to the whole folder of my v3 samples so far. I needed to pull the embedded links as they were clogging the page and causing it to take ages to load. It’s sorted into last-modified order so new ones appear at the top.

Version 3... Game Over.... A game changer for sure.... Wow. Nothing compares to this...

Q.... you have out done yourself. Crazy patches!! Pant Pant!

Thanks, Mais! Some of these probably need a few little tweaks. Also, I might alter some of them slightly when the yet-to-be-implemented final features get added, which will add extra awesomeness.

My 'clean' patch on my ES5 is no effects and bypasses all midi pedals. In fact ALL my ES patches are designed to make sure that any unused midi pedal is bypassed and I have a preset on my DMC-3 that also shuts down any errant midi pedals that might be on.

And to go one further, each bank of patches on the ES has the far right switch always as the 'clean' patch.

My main hope for The V.3 update is for a software "punch knob/slider".

Every bass synth I've ever heard, has the ability to increase the punch/pluck of the initial attack so that each note has more 'impact'.....(no pun intended).

The Future Impact is amazing but, as it stands, you cannot convincingly create punchy/plucky synth bass patches.

This feature would be incredible if it were possible?...

Listen to the punch/attack of this to hear exactly what I'm talking about! 00:09 to 02:30 Seconds

Do you mean just having a snappy shortest attack time on the filter envelope? That is plenty possible, envelopes go down to 10ms in v3. Or do mean a very quick initial volume spike? Also perfectly possible.

I think he is talking about the envelope attack time too.

I have a model d and a bass station and there is no magic button to increase the attack besides of course the attack knobs themselves.

Correct!
Many synths will just have A.D.S.R, and with a short attack time - things get punchy/snappy.
Some synths like the Korg R3 etc, will have an additional "punch" parameter that adds some additional thump to each note attack; this helps ANY synth bass tones to be significantly more defined in a mix.

The Future Impact running through an SPL Transient Designer (with high attack & low sustain setting) sounds phenomenal! But no such device exists in pedal format.

It would be great to have this kind of envelope shaping within the F.I. software/pedal....:thumbsup:

Have you listened to my sound clips? There are a few punchy basses in there I think. I’ll see what else I can cook up this evening.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered...@Quatschmacher are your patches available to download yet? They sound killer
Thank you. Not yet. They are for firmware v3 which is not released yet. I’m just uploading clips to give people a foretaste of the treats in store. I will make them available as soon as that is launched.
 
The new envelope sounds incredible. This is what no synth pedal had before. Its why i sent the Enzo packing. Without the ability to get a tight attack, its very hard to truly get a bass synth sound.

I know, I’m so glad Andras gave in to my badgering. This feature alone is a brilliant upgrade.
