@Dark Barn Big ups for the help. Got the Reflex working with my moog Lpf with the midi beat sync, it's working with the Roland as well, now to figure out the Manta. I understand that normally controlling the speed LFO by a midi beat sync on the Manta would require the hub. I should be able to do this with the Reflex though, right?

Glad it worked out!

Regarding the Reflex-Manta question; not exactly!

You would need a hub for the Manta to receive MIDI Clock, but you can use the Reflex which does get MIDI Clock to control whatever parameter on the Manta that you might otherwise use the Manta's internal LFO for, if that makes sense.

Hey,

Loving the SA stuff. I have the OFD, Manta, hub and HH3 and I'm reworking my pedalboard. Sounds like the Nemesis is coming soon. How about the Soleman? I've been trying to decide on a MIDI controller to change patches. Where in the development pipeline does the Soleman stand? Keep up the good work!

I would love an general/overall update on the SA product timeline. @rsmith601 I know you don't want to put your foot in your mouth, but a loose-subject-to-change-approximate timeline for each item would be appreciated. Even if it is only "Before xmas", "after xmas", etc.

Delays suck and are inevitable. Give us something to look forward to being disappointed about:thumbsup:

Nemesis has been the focus. It is the most complicated product we have created. Not only do we need to cover so many expected sounds, but we also need to create new and compelling ones too. On top of this is the creation of the Neuro control surface. What controls get exposure and how? Next is the integration of Nemesis into our world of Midi, Hub, new tap tempo switch, etc. There are hundreds of things to implement. We are getting very close to beta testing. It is a very cool product. Mid November is my hope.

Android alpha testing is happening. I have it on my phone now.

Distortions are next. While they are essentially OFD tones, having them in the easy to access format is great. There are 2 distortion stages per box, which makes for lots of routing options. Early December is my hope.

Soleman is next. We were close until some nasty USB communications stuff slowed things down. We decided to get the other products done first. Late December on this?

That is the best I have for the moment. Thanks for being patient. It has been a crazy year of work!

We have been developing some relationships with vintage delay collectors over the years. They lent us some of their prized possessions in exchange for doing the beta testing. Some of these units sell for over $2K on ebay. Makes the Deep Impact look cheap!

It is interesting to look at how some new popular delay units are doing the vintage "analog" delays. Some are fairly sophisticated in the approach. Some are downright quick and dirty.....and sound that way too. Kind of shocking. Needless to say, we are trying to NAIL IT!!

So if the Hub Manager crashes while connected to my Hub, could that delete all my scenes? I was trying to set up scenes with my new Hub and I lost them. I did NOT select "Erase All Scenes."

EDIT: Nevermind, they seemed to come back with a Hub power cycle. Hub Manager still is pretty fond of crashing though. Running OS X Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Pro.

Hub manager has lots of potential, but isn't quite as good as it could be, imo. Being able to save my sounds to the drop-down menu for a pedal would be great, instead of having to export/import to a new scene. I'd also like to be able to save/recall a scene with sounds on both buttons of a SB2 pedal. The software lets me save to either button, but not both in the same scene.

Hey @Nathan Navarro, regarding the Reflex boot-up, I have determined that my Reflex defaults to the last saved preset. So I have a new one-time fix, which is that if I save any new presets, I have to re-save my preferred default preset (e.g., preset #1), and the Reflex will boot up to that. I think "last loaded" preset would be nice, but this works for now. I am curious why you're not having the same behavior.

Thanks, @Adamixoye. Yes, I'm not sure why mine is behaving differently than your's, but I'm glad you found a work around. We'll look into having different boot up option settings for the Reflex editor.
