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

[Adamixoye]

@Andras Szalay I have two quick questions:

(1) Is the MIDI Out/Thru capable of doing MIDI power for something like the MIDI Solutions Quadra Thru? MIDI Solutions Quadra Thru; Four Output MIDI Thru Box

(2) How is it at tracking higher (e.g., guitar) frequencies?

More for MIDI through I'm assuming---not sure what, if any, MIDI data it generates.

It would use it for the editor wouldn't it? You'd need two way communication to edit presets. The Strymon Timeline works that way as well.

That's a good point. I forgot this will be using MIDI that way.

 

[lokki]

yeah, the midi out is used for communication with the editor. although you can edit sounds without midi-out connected. but if you want to "batch save" all 99 presets for example (from pc to fi) you need midi-out to tell the pc when to send the next preset. but to save a single preset to a specific slot you don't need midi-out connected.

I have been saving the $300 and a space on my pedal board for a POG 2 to mix with Manta, OFD or BMWD to make my own synth sounds. This Future Impact sounds great, I don’t know if I can do those sounds with the POG 2 combo, but if I go FI I can’t do the plain old octave up and down stuff.
Argh, decisions, decisions.

Andras thanks a lot for video, this is truly a must pedal for bass players!

 

[sillyfabe]

Had a dream about this pedal involving laser beams,space and various waveforms dancing around creating an amazing ambience! (I'm sure my "natural meds" before work assisted)

 

[dharmashawn]

@sillyfabe you got one of those cards too??

 

[FilterFunk]

I listened to the demo last night; highly impressed!

I'm a synth player, and I have a MIDI-enabled vintage analog synth which covers those '70s synth bass tones well enough. The Future Impact could be just what I need to cover the '80s bass sounds I like without having to buy an '80s synth keyboard. And with the added effects and other features...I might have to preorder one of these bad boys as soon as preordering is available.

I think a lot of keyboardists would be interested in this. I'll keep it to myself, though. I want TalkBass to have first dibs!

Better sell those used Deep Impacts while there's still a market for them.

If you have a Deep Impact just to try and sell it for profit...you're doing it wrong.

 

[Feral Feline]

Yes, completely wrong. Benevolently send all used ADI to me, free – just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my address.

 

[ole Jason]

Deep Impact officially obsolete

 

[Adamixoye]

All this "Deep Impact is obsolete" talk---yes, that appears to be true. Whether the market tanks---that remains to be seen. People have stupid ideas about mojo and whatnot. Rationally it should. Practically, maybe.

 

[Dark Barn]

We'll just let Chris Wolstenholme be the judge of that.

Who?

 

[maisbass]

Thank you for your patience, and now you can see the demo:

Oh man I am blown away! SOOOOOO PSYCHED!!!!!!!! My Money is patiently waiting to purchase one!!!

Anyone remember what digitech bass whammy's were selling for 3 years ago......do a search on ebay now and looks like they won't sell the original for more than $200 it seems....

Doesn't bother me if the DI tanks. I won't be selling it either way. From what I'm seeing and hearing Andras has the solution for anyone in the long term if they really want one. I know I do. I've used my DI for years and then pulled it out of rotation when I was using it less and there is no replacement under $300. I've used it more in my home studio for tracking lately so the FI would be something I'd use for both gigs and tracking without fear of some drunk sorostitute spilling her Natty Light on it and not being able to replace it.

 

[Jazz Ad]

It sounds awesome, to the point where I think I'd rather use a keyboard and an arpegiator than a bass with it.
