source audio c4

so where is harmony 2 at? I see in the manual that harmony 2 applies to all things labeled 2 as in sin 2 saw 2 etc, but where do you set that I only see 1 harmony box? is it only possible to have 1 harmony at a time?
You are seeing "Interval + Harmony 1" for 1 Voices and "Interval + Harmony 2" for 2 Voices, there can only be one harmonic key at a time, but you choose under the Harmony section which harmonized interval applies to the 1 voices and which to the 2 voices (shown as "Internal 1" and "Internal 2" under Harmony)
 
In my case it's even worse. The C4 replaced my Subterranea and my Proton (and is a decent Phaser and Tremolo).
It's the last pedal I bought since September last year (and arrived on the same day as the MBD-1). I'm not even sure what I'm still doing here. :)
I'm wondering if anyone can make a good You're the Doom emulation....that'll kick another wave of pedals of various boards too...

I've not managed to scratch the surface in terms of using the editor, but one sound I've loved for years is Cass Lewis' effect on Twisted by Skunk Anansie.

I've no idea if the C4 is even the right pedal for getting close to this sound - it sounds like an envelope filter to me, but I've never heard a normal filter pedal that can get anywhere near this tone, for want of a better word it just sounds so 'wet'!

For those effects gurus what am I hearing here, is it a filter? A filtered synth? I've read that he used to use a Korg G5, would that be what he's using on this track? If anyone fancies having a stab at recreating this effect on the C4 (if it's possible) that would be awesome! Thanks in advance...

what patches in the community are you guys using...I don't wanna be a hater but 90% of whats there is just insanely loud and not useful for much (at least for me) would like to see whats the most popular among tb peeps
It really depends on what kinda sounds you are looking for? Do you have synth examples you’d like to try to recreate? As far as volume, both volume levels and sensitivity are things you’ll have to adjust for any community patch to match your particular rig and needs (I haven’t found a single patch that was perfect for me out of the box, everything needs at least those two basic tweaks). With everything possible in the pedal and the differences between peoples rigs these will vary wildly between users and different sounds.
 
the first soound i was looking for is boogie on reggae woman type moog synth, there is a patch in it but ive been tweaking it for days and imo just not anywhere close

second is a 24k magic sound, again theres a patch but i don't find it usable either, working on creating my own patches for this but I just thought thered be more readily availible.

perhaps those with active basses could chime in on how to make it track best as far as input game etc
 
for the love of god if someone has a boogie on preset that they tweaked can you please share it or pm me. my frustration level is at a peak and it seems like I am gonna be in way over my head here in a little bit. IT doesnt track well and just is downright not useable

Did you try tweaking the patch called "HC Moog 1 Oct Up" ?
Edit: Also try changing the tracking from Higher Accuracy to Faster Tracking and fiddle with the gate of Env 1.
 
I think I'm having trouble getting my bass to track. I play a modulus w active emgs and 3 band pre, it's pretty boomy, it tracks low notes great actually but the higher I go the less tracking I have. It's very odd
Maybe try calibrating the input from the A string? Turn the input knob all the way down, start pedaling notes on your A string and turn up the input just until the light flashes red.

Interesting idea, maybe you could try to approximate something with the Foldover/Sample Reducer options in the distortion, but the Doom really is a special beast. That being said, I always thought that the SA Multiwave Distortion and the Doom had a vaguely similar vibe.
