Source Audio Sorcerers Society (S.A.S.S) Part 3

I'm pretty sure this was in a dream of mine, but it involved SA making a harmonizer pedal with a mean octave down, octave up, and all kinds of intervals in between, all hub controlled and in one series (or two series???) packagaing. Sounds like a good idea, right? ;)
Make it "Nemesis packaging" with standard MIDI instead of (or in addition to) the Hub ...

Well apparently I'm not that smart. :( I ordered a Mono cable instead of a Stereo, so had to cancel the order. I'm having a hell of a time finding a stereo one for a decent price. So any recommendations are appreciated!
Did you think of sending Roger a PM with your address? I think that will work! I have a bunch of them in my office.

Hey appreciate it! I asked the guy I bought this from and he pointed me in the right direction! I couldn't find it for some reason but he sent me a link to one on Amazon that was 6 bucks after shipping. :) So it will be here Monday and I'm set!! You guys rock btw! Thanks!!

Finally got some time to figure out my tap tempo woes. Most of my actual issues had to do with getting crazy with the midi channels, so set up everything consistently and all is well. Though I'm still freaked out by the difference in the timing of the blinking lights for the tap tempo. Soleman blinks, then nemesis, then nemesis tap light, then vertigo...my pedalboard is a seizure waiting to happen.

Obviously with the channel issues that's where I had expression problems too. So yeah just massive stupidity on my part, but now everything is updated and happy.

slapped together a new board last weekend, tried to stay compact but get everything into one unified piece, I still cant decide if the Gemini is redundant having the mercury at the beginning already but I guess ill keep it their until I find something I want to put in that spot more
and thanks to rsmith601 and the rest of the SA crew for the awesome customer service and quick shipping on my new Nemesis delay

Two interesting things to note. One is extremely annoying but not Source Audio's fault.

The Neuro app would NOT work with my iPhone 7 even with the stupid adapter that makes it have a regular headphone plug in. I thought it was the chord I bought, then I tried my iPad and had great success. So that sucks. :(

Two, my Nemesis did something very strange yesterday. It decided to make all of my presets have bit crushing in them. Only one of them actually does. I went through them several times and was completely baffled. LOL! I flipped the pedal on and off a few times and it fixed it, but super odd!!! What would cause that to occur?? I also was editing something in the Neuro app and created a really cool patch and it ruined it! LOL! :(
 
I think the ability to map expression and/or MIDI to non-knob parameters is on the list for the next big firmware update...
That is correct. :)

So I am guessing you use the SA external tap tempo has extra foot controllers for the soleman? Anyother extrenal foot switches work?
Absolutely, "The Soleman supports up to two external footswitches that can be used to improve navigation in List mode and Panel mode, or to use as an external tap tempo input. Momentary, single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches are supported. The input jack on the Soleman accepts a 3-conductor TRS, 3.5 mm plug. Switch 1 should be connected to the tip conductor and Switch 2 should be connected to the ring conductor. Standard footswitches such as the FS-6 Dual Footswitch from Boss are compatible. With a Stereo-to-Mono splitter cable, two individual footswitches can also be used."

So i just got my hands on the Manta but when i go to connect it to the HUB and put the pedal into REBOOT mode, the computer then asks me to "Select .hex for the pedal model: SA223" where do i find this download?
For updating firmware, select the pedal in the HUB Manager, click Update Pedal Firmware, and then Soundblox 2 Firmware // SA223...

Sorry to hear about the iPhone 7, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is something we can fix with an update. We'll see. That's some pretty odd behavior from the Nemesis; I haven't seen that before. How are you powering the Nemesis? Is it on the latest firmware? If you are creating a patch with the Neuro App, press, "Send All" at the beginning of your editing, and then your Nemesis and Sound Editor will be in sync when you go back to edit, should something interrupt the process. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] if your Nemesis misbehaves again.

@nathannavarro Thanks for the reply. But unfortunately I cannot select the pedal in the HUB Manager as it does not appear there at all. Why would this be? As the Manager picks up the aftershock straight away but but the Manta is non existent?
 
I"m really itching for a Nemesis but I'm concerned it's too modern for me. LOL. I don't use midi and I prefer to twiddle knobs on the fly. The idea of having presets is nice though and the features are incredible for the price.
Nemesis was designed to be super easy and intuitive out of the box first and foremost. We get really high marks for being very simple and deep on top, but deep as you need to go one level below the top.

You know it's funny. I love delay. As a bass player some of my greatest influences use delay. I might not use it a ton but it's fun. Right now I am going back and forth between your pedal and an Endangered Audio 4096MK2. Absolutely completely opposite pedals. I do love the digital side because of the capability, and by all means the Nemesis delivers tonally, but I love the analog because of the simplicity and that pure tone.
