Works great, have been using this one with the the C4 + HX Fx. I can Scroll presets, recall them, use the expression pedal attached to the HX FX. It´s a perfect combo.

I have the same rig but the NeuroHub instead of the Doremidi. Any latency or gap while switching presets?
No latency when sending messages. Or never noticed it as a problem
Something with a reverse envelope filter sound and a bit of distortion should get that sound. I am not a good C4 programmer, but I am pretty certain that sound (or something similar) is in there.
Had my C4 for a week now. Incredibly useful for covering tunes with an original synth bass part. Neuro Desktop is fine for editing, but the mobile app is kinda tedious. Suggestion for Source Audio: include native Bluetooth in the pedal! We already have too many cables 
In any event, has anyone come up with a preset for Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder"? I'm trying to cover the buzzy synth bit. I tried a couple of sawtooth voices with a bit of detune, but it didn't work out.
P.S. The C4 covers a lot of ground. Already got rid of my octave pedal, and will probably ditch my phaser and overdrive too. Need to make room on the board for a Disaster Area micro PRO, unless there's something better.

Bluetooth requires space in the unit for a Bluetooth antenna, so it can't be something that's added retroactively. However, Bluetooth is being extensively considered for our next generation platform of effects pedals.Had my C4 for a week now. Incredibly useful for covering tunes with an original synth bass part.

Glad to hear you're digging the pedal!!!
Our drummer suggested Dakota by the Stereophonics, so I went straight to try to program a sequencer patch for the intro/outro. It became glaringly obvious that I have no idea what I'm doing! hahaha!
Fortunately I found a patch in the neuro editor that was already close to the sound, I just had to adjust the sequence. I am quite happy with it.

And that is one of the many reasons we all love Source Audio products, it's not just the devices and great UI...it's the community. when I got my C4, I was painfully aware that I had little experience in programming a modular / analogue style synthesiser. Delving into some amazing Neuro Community patches, I was able to select a bunch of really cool sounding patches. Over time, I've been able to break these down and understand how / why these work. So now I understand the base oscillators, Dirt & Filters and LFO's. The sequencer and FM synth...less so for me. But I have a batch of really nice patches that have everything I need in this area.
Absolutely. That's my MO, I get a patch from the community that is close to what I need and then tweak it until it suits my needs.
Not only that, but the support from the SA team is the best!
Funnily enough...I've just re-created this patch using a Collider patch with the Shimmer and Analog settings. Pretty much the same thing.
Hi C4 players,
I've been trying to recreate the bass tone in this song for over a year, without success. I first tried with my HX Stomp and the filter effects, but could never quite get it. Had a crack with the C4 but again, no luck. Does anyone think they could have a go?

Hey folks! I'm hoping to pick up a C4 pedal soon and have been doing some research on midi controlling options. I know this topic has most likely been talked to death but I hope to clarify some things if I can. Am I right in thinking I could use ANY midi controller with the C4 as long as I have the Neuro Hub acting as host?
Secondly, I'd like to have a midi controller with 6-8 stomp buttons to give me a good range of sounds to have ready to go for live performance (for example changing sound mid-song). I was looking at the Disaster Area Micro but I don't think it would suit as I would have to scroll through the presets one by one. Any suggestions on a good controller for this scenario? I see the Morning Star gets a lot of love here. I may be open to some of the other Disaster Area controllers too as they would eliminate having to have the Neuro Hub.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

I had a Disaster Area DMC-8 gen3 and it was pretty easy to navigate, though a bit frustrating in that different modes had set uses for many of the buttons. IIRC you organized DMC presets into banks of 4 and four of the eight buttons then accessed those 4 presets, then you could scroll up and down through different banks easily (it’s been awhile, but it may have been 6 per bank and a few were accessed by pressing two buttons at once?).Hey folks!

The Morningstar controllers are superior in all ways from a custom programmability perspective though- you can literally assign any button to send whatever messages you want and even have different commands for short press, long press, successive presses, etc for each button. You also have a screen with lots of characters to name presets, constant updates and a support forum where they are always responding directly and taking suggestions for future updates, etc. The main thing you don’t have is the ability to control the C4 without an additional Hub or Host device (I’ve actually brought this up in their forum as Disaster Area figured out a way to control SA pedals without the Host via 1/4” to 1/8” control cable, but the Morningstar guys don’t currently have access to an SA pedal to figure that out unfortunately).
I was thinking the Morning Star/Neuro Hub combination would be the way for me to go alright. Good to know the Morning Star has so many different functions available.
Finally got a chance to use the C4 on a live gig. It worked great and everyone loved the sound (mostly dance tunes with synth bass). In my live setup, I'm using an Android tablet with the Neuro app to make minor tweaks, and the Midi Commander Android app to switch presets and enable/bypass the C4. I have a USB cable with an OTG adapter to talk to the C4.
My only annoyance is that Midi Commander shows just 20 buttons on the screen. I can't figure out how to get more buttons. Anyone have experience with this app?

No experience with midi commander, but I've been using TouchOSC on an iPad for a bit now, and like it. It's also available for Android.
For the C4, I have two pages, one is just a list of presets so I can quickly jump to a preset, and the other is basically the Neuro Desktop recreated. I have x-y pads for the filters, knobs or faders for just about everything else, a few switches to turn voices on or off. Took some time to map everything I wanted in the Desktop, but it works really well. I'm also using a Widi uHost to connect to a morningstar controller, and then to a Neuro hub for the C4. Viva wireless!
Edited for clarity..

I've had great luck with the DMC Micro Pro. I don't have the need for all 128 presets. So what I've done is create duplicate patches. Then whatever songs require multiple patches, I'll place them next to each other and specify whether I want them toggled on or off when switching. This may or may not work for your needs. But I've never needed more than two patches in a single song.
The C4 will track better than the MXR analog octavers.
