@Pedalnetics should do a rehouse for the Future Impact.

If someone has one to lend me that wants it, I'll do their's for free. I have all the fun 3d scanners and tools for it

Well that makes it even more free, no shipping; Im out near Village Pointe

If you decide to, feel free to DM me and we can hook up over phone!

 

[MuthaFunk]

Will you share the Get Octave patch?

Will do. I’ll upload it and post a link hopefully tomorrow.

If no one else goes for it, I'd be happy to send mine up from Colorado!

This may have been asked a hundred times already but why does it seem like there is quite a bit more tracking “slippage” on my FI compared to the deep impact? If there is a setting I can change let me know. Thanks

Notes on/notes off
ON: 1
OFF: 9

This section of the manual was helpful for me:

NOTE OFF LEVEL (global): Sets the volume threshold of the input signal below which the
synth stops sounding. A lower value allows you to sustain notes longer. A higher value
allows better articulation of staccato notes.
NOTE ON LEVEL (global): Sets the volume threshold of the input signal above which the
synth begins sounding. If low-volume notes do not trigger the synth then decrease the value.
If multiple triggering occurs then increase the value.

Can you be more specific about the "slippage" term? Do you mean mistriggered attacks or mistriggered pitch?
As the previous post says- Note On and Note Off settings on the pedal face in conjunction with Input Level will help you dial in the way the note attack and decay of the synth are triggered from your playing. I find these sometimes need to be set per instrument as I have some instruments that are quite lively and send alot of extra string noise and other extraneous noise through that can cause the pedal to trigger false note attacks, particularly with sustained notes. I haven't noticed issues with pitch tracking in my FI, and most of the fixes there are just about sending healthy Input Level and clean playing from the bass (plus possibly messing with pickup settings and tone to eliminate too much harmonic content that can trick the pitch-tracker algorithm)

I'm just starting to get involved with my FI v3. It's fun, but I'm noticing a weirdness with the tracking.

For me, the pitch tracking seems to stay locked onto the last note, so if I hit a really high note, then a low note, I'll hear a short burst of the high note again before it jumps down to the low pitch. This is even if I wait several seconds between the notes. Does anyone else have this issue?

Also, has anyone programmed a decent shakuhachi patch? I'd love to play the intro to Sledgehammer on the bass.

That is by design. It is to speed up note response as trigger is detectable before a complete wave cycle can be read for pitch analysis. The other bonus of this is that the FI responds to ghost notes on the bass.

 

[smeet]

That is by design.

You're kidding, right? It sounds absolutely terrible with any staccato lines, like it's mistracking every single note!

Why would that be deliberate? Is there a way to turn it off?

 

[smeet]

Ah I see your edit with the explanation. I guess that is good for some sounds, but it means I can't play any staccato rhythms without popping notes appearing out of nowhere and ruining my rhythmic feel. It's more obvious on large interval jumps but with fast attack and decay it is really distracting even on a whole step jump.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of that sound on selected patches?

The trick is to make sure you mute the previous note before plucking the next one. Fast staccato lines are perfectly possible:


Isolated bass:

And no, it isn’t possible to disable it, though this is something I’ve requested as a per-patch setting for a future update if possible.

 

[smeet]

It doesn't seem to work for me. I think my muting is pretty good. But maybe not good enough, right? Here's an example I just recorded. For the first few notes, I am completely muting all notes even while playing them, and you can hear the jumps when I move down in pitch (never up, which I guess makes sense since higher notes trigger faster).

When the pace of notes slows down around 10 seconds in, I am playing large intervals to make it more obvious, and I'm actually turning my bass volume all the way off between notes. You can still clearly hear all the high notes retriggering before the low notes sound.

What could I possibly be doing wrong here?

By “muting” I mean creating space between notes as opposed to muting played notes.

 

[smeet]

I understand, but I was doing both to make doubly sure nothing could ring out. I was not muting the notes in the second half of the recording, and the results wer the same. Did you listen to it? There is a lot of space between notes, and it still retriggers on the previous high note.
