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

[Derpherper]

I want one so much more!

 

[OhulahanBass]

It probably won't but I hope it ships while I'm home in CO for a month so I can visit my old band and fellow TB member Funkndatrunk for some funky groove'n!

 

[lokki]

ok, here are some demo sounds i programmed i was just playing whatever came to my mind with the sound i had selected. was a little bit in a hurry so don't expect the greatest groove or lines or whatever....often i let the last note ring out, just so you get an idea how the sound develops and how well this thing tracks and how smoothly notes fade...



have fun. there are some sounds that only use the bass signal and envelope filter, no synth. it should be really obvious what is what. otherwise just ask. use headphones or a good p.a.

 

[lokki]

ah i should maybe add, that for the "real dub" examples i just moved the lfo frequency with the mouse...no time or anything.

also a note on effects:

only one effect at a time can be active.

the delay should be thought of as a slapback delay, longer delay times are not possible.

Nice sounds @lokki, thanks! Is there a way to select one of the 99 presets/10 banks other than just scrolling up (in case you want to go back one or two presets)? Maybe an external midi controller?
Also, for the people that are into parallel blending, does this pedal invert phase or does it stay the same?

 

[lokki]

yeah, it reacts to program change messages. about in or out of phase i don't know.

NOW I want one. No offence to the original DI, but those were never sounds that truly appealed to me. Now, these are real bass synth sounds, this I like!

Hey @lokki I didn't hear from Andras, are you able to answer the two questions I had?

(1) Will the MIDI out/thru provide power to a MIDI powered device?
(2) How is it at tracking higher guitar-like frequencies?

Also, for a while I was wondering how this was going to fit in with my SY-300, right now I'm feeling like this covers the ground that the SY-300 doesn't---the FI will be for fat monophonic bass work, the SY-300 for polyphonic/ambient/guitar work.

Sounds so good!!

@Andras Szalay

On using the Future Impact as a synth. Does it respond to mod and pitch wheel information? Aftertouch?

That was great, thanks for making that to show off some of the other sounds available. I was already excited, but that really kicked up my excitement. It tracks amazingly, and you can really cop a lot of sounds. The "only lows" sounded sweet, and decayed so smoothly.

Can you use an expression pedal with it? If so, it would be pretty awesome to control the rate of the LFO with that to get the same results.

Dang @lokki that's was nice!!

(2) How is it at tracking higher guitar-like frequencies?

(1) Not recommended to use for other purposes than MIDI OUT, but it is a standard solution: 5V through 220 Ohms.
(2) Qualified for frequency range of the bass guitar.

I thought the idea was that it was going to be pretty MIDI capable---either responding to MIDI clock or MIDI CC to control various parameters. So, slap a Reflex on that thing and rock out.

Mod Wheel, MIDI Volume and Pitch Bend are implemented. Aftertouch not yet, but will come.

you can use a midi capable foot controller like a fcb1010. at the moment it reacts to nrpn messages which are basically 3cc at once. like this you can control much more parameters. some parameters will be accessible as "normal" cc though.

Outstanding! Thanks.
