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

My Nemesis is fighting me and I'm not digging it. After the last update I couldn't get it to receive any data from the Soleman. I have gotten it to receive tap, but I can't get it to do bypass in panel mode. I had the app set to change the delay engine with expression and that is no longer working either. It appears the Nemesis is refusing to receive CC of any kind. Any thoughts? I can not figure it out, and I officially feel dumb.
When all else fails, [email protected] They solve stuff like this all the time.
 
Hey everyone!! I've gone back and forth with Source Audio, but I'm sticking with you guys this time as I really dig a few of the sounds(and cant get them anywhere else)...

Question: Am I remembering correctly that I heard mention of a way to integrate analog pedals into the hub/scene thing? Or is there a workaround??

Thank you to any response!

Some products were announced/discussed a while ago, but my sense is they are on the backburner to say the least. I'm sure the SA people will weigh in.

I think the idea was replaced with the One Series pedals since they can be used as loops in conjunction with the Hub, so you can add pedals to the Hub that way. Not the most pleasant solution for most of us, but if you already have the One Series pedals, it adds options.

That's a good point. That would replace the Neuro Switcher, basically allowing you to use the Hub as a bypass loop switcher.

There was also the Neuro Module that actually would have changed settings on analog pedals. That, I think, is still a ways off if it is still in development at all.

Still in development you say?? I certainly hope thats still the case....

I ask because I recently purchased for the 2nd time the old BEF(one switch version) and finally got the multiwave Bass distort(6 channel/3switch) which I might replace with the soundblox one(I'm not sure I need 6 presets *but* I got a few amazing synth tones that nailed what I want)

I ask about the analog thing because I was never able to replicate the BEF tone I had with the Manta, and I never got a chorus sound to my liking with the orbital so I got a used tech21 bass boost chorus, and I miss my OC2 already.

What I'm hoping to do is to have everything as fail-safe as possible, so I sold off all of my older/vintage pedals and plan on running all my effects through a loop, this is where this hub/scene business comes in. Though I dont need as much as some of you, I want enough to be covered in a variety of styles.

I guess ill just lurk here and wait to see of any new developments, another idea is for me to maybe just buy the soundblox/one series stuff one at a time and attempt to replicate the tones I have with the BEF , Tech21 chorus and my MWBD(that should be easy actually).

My end goal is to design a pedal board and have my cousin weld it together that has an always on section of my Tuner, PEQ, empress comp, possible DI (possibly detachable? We'll see) and want to have all my effects underneath the board for safe keeping(do alot of outdoor gigs) connected with pedal couplers (since i wont be switching them on/of ever) and programmed into the tech21 midi mouse.

Pretty much this be as close as i will get to a multi FX unit that i will actually dig! And i won't have to worry about the component's going bad on these SA pedals being all digital!
 
Just to confirm, we are not working on the analog Neuro system any longer. As mentioned in the last couple of posts, One Series pedals allow you to incorporate third-party pedals into your HUB scenes by using the "FX Loop Pre" or "FX Loop Post" routing features.
Hey Nathan, are there any videos showing an example of incorporating analog pedals in the effects loop. This could maybe make me get rid of my Decible Eleven Switch Dr for a Soleman!
 
Well that was rad. What is the app you were using there?
The app is MIDI Designer. A work in progress, here's the current look:

I like the look of it, might have to check it out.

You did lead me to another thought. I still have had zero success getting my Nemesis to allow me to use the Soleman to turn it off and on through the hub. I think I may have to try a midi cable from the Soleman direct to the Nemesis. I really have this feeling something went sideways with the last update, but can't seem to find anyone to confirm my suspicions.
 
@rsmith601 Do you guys take engine requests? I feel like having an Animato engine in the Aftershock is pretty much the only thing I'm missing. You could call the engine Animusing or something. You're welcome, I'll take my payment in a future One Series filter! :D

We will when we get back to this sort of work. Right now the Comprehensive Desktop Editor and the Ventris are getting all the focus.
 
Sorry if this has been discussed/answered, but would the next step after the Ventris be a Nemesis/Ventris chassis modulation machine? I.e. are you guys evolving the Soundblox 2 line into the more powerful One series? I'll own the Ventris, and have a Nemesis... love the sounds of the Orbital, but would freak if it were to be improved! :)
