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

I messed around with Midi Designer. It's pretty powerful.
I'm a big MIDI Designer guy, I've actually been a beta tester for Dan for years now (full disclosure, my compensation is that he refunded the app fee). So much you can do with it.
 
Tonight's my third rehearsal with a funk band using the FI pedal. I'm using the midi baby to pick 3 different banks One Bank is synth base octave lower One bank is same octave as bass. third Bank is for solos. I'm getting the hang of getting around the patches with it. the expression pedal for CC#11 is small enough to fit on the board. Disaster Area web based editor for the midi baby was super easy to use. Gig is next Friday. Can't wait.

Try sending CC1 from the expression pedal - lots of the patches do cool things with it.

Thanks for the heads up! Since the midi baby can send more than one CC# at a time with the expression pedal; I'll try combining CC # 1 & 11. Any particular patches you recommend to check out?
I’d try sending just CC1 first (unless you are able to quickly switch between the two) as opening the filter at the s as me time may prevent the modulation from being heard.

Most of the stuff I’ve programmed and shared has something with CC1 on it. Factory patches 86, 89, 94. My original version of factory patch 1 has CC1 rather than velocity control.

@armybass have you worked through Peter's manual section on using the GI as 'just' an effects unit ? I'm apparently a slow learner ;-) but that section brought some things together for me...
Glad it was useful.

Can’t remember if I mentioned this in the manual but when using it as an envelope filter, it works best when setting the global note-on level to 1.
