Update on MIDI issues:

I forgot how the Manta mix knob worked, that noon is full dry, but fully CW or fully CCW are completely wet, one with LO-RETAIN. The reason the knob seemed to not be working was that I kept going to the extreme and didn't here the LO-RETAIN difference. So that answered that. My bad.

However, I still do not think that the OFD mix knob is responding properly to MIDI. At a MIDI value of 127, which should correspond to fully CW on the knob and fully hi-cut clean, the signal is absolutely dirty. Is there something I'm missing?

This has been fixed in the latest update.. please visit this link for all the latest firmware:

(1) Thanks!

(2) Good to know I wasn't crazy!

(3) Are these updates new since the beginning of 2015 or so? I'm not 100% sure I know what firmware I'm running for the Manta or Bass OFD, but I seem to recall it was v6 for the Manta and v4 for the Bass OFD (it looks like you're up to v8 and v5, respectively). Furthermore, one of those (I forget which) was actually newer than the firmware files that came downloaded with the newest version of Hub Manager.

Yep these are all fresh out of the oven : ) To check your current firmware select the pedal on the Hub Manager and click on "view info". Definitely a good idea to update your pedals with the versions on that link.

Thanks! Can we expect new Hub/Manager versions soon?
Pretty please?

Hey guys, some time ago I've seen a preset that "simulates" a cello using the OFD and something else but I cannot seem o find it again.
Could someone send me the link?

Fun coincidence - I was cleaning out the unneeded files from my computer's temp folder and happened across this earlier today. Apparently I don't have an OFD nor Dimension Reverb page on my site, thus never published this sound and patch there. Sorry, I've been suuuuuper lazy sharing new stuff on my site.

Here's a direct link to the Hub scene that has the OFD > Reverb for the simulated bowed instrument sound:

hello everyone! I just posted a One Series Bass Tour Box thread here:

Feel free to drop by and participate

The SA Nemesis made a "Most Hyped Pedals" list: http://reverb.com/blog/the-most-hyped-pedals-of-2015-dot-dot-dot-so-far?_aid=fb

Can't wait to experiment with the Decimate mode. I wonder if you can set the Delay time to 0ms to effectively use the delay voices as an effect without any actual delay?

 

[enjoi1018]

Hey SA guys, I know it's been crazy busy herelately, but is there any news on the firmware update to the hub to check current expression values when switching presets?

 

[adamaarts]

Not completely unrelated but I just customized one of my kids toys using a headphone jack cable to my phone. I have to say it's much more convenient than having to go to my computer.

Point: mobile device integration is a smart move. Good job guys!

K bye.

 

[76jazzbass]

Agreed, many people have functional smart phones lying around after upgrades too... I can see Velcroing my old iPhone to my board hahaha

Based on the NAMM thread, could I confirm that the full list of the NAMM releases would be:

Controllers:
1) Reflex expression pedal
2) Solemate MIDI footswitch

One series (8 products):
Based on guitar/bass OFD:
3) Aftershock bass distortion
4) Kingmaker guitar distortion/fuzz
5) L. A. Lady overdrive... guitar or bass?

Based on orbital modulator:
6) Gemini chorus
7) Lunar phaser
8) Mercury flanger

All new:
9) Vertigo tremolo
10) Nemesis delay

Neuro system:
11) Loop Switcher
12) Neuro Module
...and rebranded Neuro Hub​

Is there any rough timeline for whether any One Series pedals based on the MWBD, Manta and Dimension Reverb will be produced (if they're even produced at all)?

 

[Adamixoye]

I think you are correct except for the following comments:

(1) Roger considers the Vertigo to be a new effect, as tremolo is really just an add on in the Orbital and they've developed it much more for this pedal.
(2) I'm 98% sure the L.A. Lady is a guitar overdrive.

Forgot about that, fixed!

 

[overbybr]

Was the Aftershock or the LA Lady demoed on the NAMM previews? I don't remember either of those

 

[Adamixoye]

I don't think we've seen the Mercury Flanger either.

 

[Nic.]

Me neither. I was waiting for videos, then I realized there wouldn't be for a while.

 

[ryansalmond]

We are planning on putting every signal processing parameter in the Neuro editor, ... possibly a "Super Advanced Mode" with the really obscure parameters that very few people will understand or even consider tinkering with.

That's just what I wanted to hear! That would definitely make the Aftershock a must-buy for me. Very excited!

 

[jasonmitsch]

Do these "super Advanced" parameters include true stereo for every OneSeries pedal? On bass I might only use the delay in stereo. But when I play guitar I could see myself using stereo dirt or mod. Having cleanish breakup going to a fenderish amp and dirtier dirt going to a modern high gain amp. For example. These traits would be amazing deep parameters.

 

[Adamixoye]

I am also curious about these "super advanced" parameters. First, are we talking stuff that goes beyond even the back page parameters of the SB2 series? And second, will this functionality be available when the Tour Box makes its way around?
