source audio c4

I noticed that the C4 doesn't let me look for Spectrum patches, is that new on the app?
There is a bug that I reported ages ago. The behaviour is the wrong way around. If you select Spectrum in the filtering (funnel icon), then C4 also gets highlighted when it should be the other way around. @Gibs210 could you flag this again please?
 
OK, newbie question here! Just got mine and got to fool around with the Neuro app on Windows. So I started loading the most favorited patches but I couldn't load some like Worn Out VHS, El Captain and Darkglassy. It seemed like it loaded but the sound was still the previous patch. Tried it many times, all others on the first page would load properly except for these three and I think one more. Didn't try a pc restart, just thought I'd ask if anyone's experienced the same or if there is an explanation. Thanks!
 
Does your pedal have a logarithmic or a linear taper and what value does the potentiometer have?
I'm not sure but it's got this on the back

Those presets are not for the C4. They are for the Nemesis Delay (VHS and El Cap) and Aftershock (Dark Glassy). Only the C4 and Spectrum presets work on the C4.

Sorry if this doesn't concern most of you but thought I'd try my luck anyway (I've got the Stomp in the video but it's the same with the C4)


I have the same expression pedal. Plugged into my soleman and from what I remember it doesn't have that intense jump in value from 30s to 99. I'll try again tomorrow and will report back.
P.S.: On the Melaudio review section for the same pedal someone suggested switching tip and ring connections on one end of the cable and that did the trick for him. I was prepared to do that myself but then didn't end up having that issue.

Hmm I've no idea how to switch the tip and ring ‍♂️

I've found this, but it's too expensive (£20 shipping). Is it the sort of thing I am after?

I must admit, my C4 is being returned today.

Technically it's a brilliant pedal, but synth on Bass isn't really my thing when I've also got a midi keyboard and Laptop with DAW/Plugins to cover that better. 90% of my use for the C4 is for octave and filter and I like more hardware control - the Spectrum might have been better for me as the 2 control knobs have the 'alt' function.

With either the C4 or Spectrum though I'd still probably be thinking I want at a minimum to have a DMC micro and the EHX CNTL which would put the total price up above £350....that amount will go quite a long way on octave and filter pedals. Less potential variety in some ways but possibly better at doing their niche better with minimum tweaking? And the other C4 things like Tremalo and distortion are covered better by other pedals I've got.

Also, this is perhaps just me but I found myself spending hours hooking up Laptop/Phone and obsessing over fine-tuning, I like doing that with hardware pedals a bit but not to the level of obsessiveness I do with a Laptop hooked up but I can't stop myself, a distraction I don't need!

Interesting. I also predominantly use Filters and Octave effects also. However, my Proton, Octabvre, and MXRM82 have all lost to the C4 + a DMC micro, because the filter and octave effects are great on the C4 + there's a ton of versatility by stomping through patches on a micro, rather than bending down to tweak pedal settings.
