Ordered the V4.

Soon to be my V1 with updated firmware and Future Compact housing in the GFS.

Now for a CV controllable synth! Something with a heavy ARP - Or is that AARP in my case ;-) influence.

Is the midi-to-cv cable propietary, or is it just a 5pin male to dual trs?

The former. It outputs normal MIDI DIN and two 3.5mm gate and pitch CV cables.

Where do I acquire a cable like that ?

Cool, love me some proprietary cables.

From Panda direct or one of their retail partners. Basically, wherever the FI4 is available should also stock the cable.

Still muddling my way through the V4 and creating or modifying sounds, have about a dozen or so saved. I must now figure out how to share them.

V4 in da house. Wow. This is a real improvement. The tracking is crazy good!

 

[bassvirtuoso]

I'm just happy the knobs aren't wobbly!

Speaking of sharing. Will the Future Impact Program Database website have a dedicated V4 section? I have been dialing in several patches with V4 but wondered if it will cause confusion if I put them in the same place as V3-only compatible patches. I guess clear labeling (v 4.0 ONLY) would lessen potential confusion.

Not sure yet as I haven’t tested if v4 patches are visible in the v3 editor. If they are, there may be a way to add some masking so they don’t show up as they have a different file extension.

It is something I raised during the last round of development but I don’t think I got an answer.

My feeling is that the website and or v3 editor should be updated to take the onus away from users to have to deal with this problem.

I’ve replied to my original email where I raised this very point. Hopefully there’ll be more energy to tackle it now that the pedal release is behind us.

Well, I was excited to receive my pedal today since it was just marked as delivered. However, no sign that DHL was ever here on my doorbell camera and no sign of a package anywhere. I checked all building entrances and the apartment office. And yet, somehow DHL says I signed for it. Seeing as I’ve been patiently waiting since 3/22, saying I’m bummed is an understatement.

Did they take a photo? I once had something delivered that was photographed inside a bin that was clearly not mine. To this day, I still don’t know in whose bin it was left but it turned up in mine a few days later.

There was no photo. I contacted DHL and they’re working on tracking it down.

Good luck. I hope you find it soon.

 

[Melvin7822]

Thank you kindly. Hopefully, it will just show up on Monday.

 

[Melvin7822]

Well, I’m happy to report that it turned up. It was misdelivered to another building.

 

[Melvin7822]

Just wanted to report in. I haven’t really dived into the pedal much, but I’m really impressed with the improvements to pitch tracking.
