Hi folks, for various reasons I’ve been away from my bass gear for awhile now and just yesterday was able to hook my rig up for the first time in at least 8 months. I had a neat biamp setup that I was using before the “hiatus”, but disconnected it to only run the Aftershock and my Octabre. When I went to engage the Aftershock the first time, the sound wouldn’t change no matter what knobs or switches I changed.

I tried hooking up the Neuro app to my iPad and couldn’t effect any changes there either. While it may only be 8 months since I used my rig, it may have been almost two years since I had really played with the Neuro ecosystem and have apparently forgotten everything I knew about how it works.

So, any idea why it’s not outputting anything other than the dry signal? Is there a way to factory reset one of these? I haven’t felt this dumb about gear since before I bought my first effect pedal.

My Ventris was doing this exact same thing this weekend. Only dry coming thru, as I turned the mix knob more and more wet, no reverb came through, just slowly decreased the dry signal until nothing.

Tried everything, eventually did the factory reset on the pedal (hardware style), and everything’s fine now. Probably some weird glitch on power up!

Hardware reset: Start with pedal unplugged. Hold down footswitch. Plug in. Keep holding until the LED stops blinking. You should be all west to go.

@rsmith601 - does the new filter have a sensitivity/input gain control to create a fixed point at which the filter opens? Or is it the same sensitivity feature on the Manta, where it adjusts to the players dynamics depending on how light or hard they play?

There are lots of different envelope response options as well as a sensitivity control parameter. Lots more options than Manta.

Do you have any particular recommendations? (Brands, etc.)

Sorry for the delay. We have just added an "Invert Audio Output Phase" function to the Neuro Mobile App for iOS, which allows Bluetooth control. This feature was already available on Android.

iOS and Android setup:
In the Neuro Mobile App, select the info icon in the upper left, ensure that version 2.0.7 (82) or later is in use, then scroll down and enable "Invert Audio Output Phase." In the settings menu of your mobile device, select Bluetooth, and connect to the Bluetooth receiver device. Two models that we have used successfully are:
MPOW MPBH129BB Bluetooth Music Receiver Streambot MINI
1Mii B06 Plus

Connect the Bluetooth receiver to Input 2 of a Source Audio One Series pedal with a Neuro cable (1/4" TRS to 1/8" TRS). Send a message from the Neuro Mobile App that is specific to the model of the connected pedal. Does the top LED flash in response? If not, check volume levels between the mobile device's output and also the Bluetooth receiver's output levels.

Manta Midi Clock question: I finally got midi clock connected to my hub (via midi) with nemesis and manta hooked up, as well as a volca fm. Both the volca and nemesis stayed perfectly in time only the manta LFO didn't seem to keep in sync. I tried using sine, square and sawtooth for the LFO, with the square showing most clearly that, after keeping in sync for a few bars, the LFO irregularly would drift in and out... has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?

Can anybody tell me if I can get my Manta Bass Filter to sound like an Electro Harmonix BassBalls?
Click to expand...

I've been fiddling with the Manta in the last few days. I'm planning to replace both the Bassballs and the Small Stone with it. The Small Stone was easy to replicate. Regarding the BB, well, let's say that I have found a setting on the manta that actually sounds like I wanted the BB to sound LOL (and never made it).

Different fingers, different strings/bass/everything, but if that helps, I found these settings really work for me for that "burpy" envelope:
Effect 3 (two parallel LPFs), depth around 1:00, mod source fast env, speed minimum, frequency 8:00, resonance 1:00, mix fully ccw, drive 8:30, type 12:00 (type 5, "double fold").

Again, it's not the same as the BB, but it's a kind of sound that to me, for my needs, to my ears, works better than the BB.

I'll definitely buy a Spectrum too. I wish the synth architecture had a sawtooth waveform though. Maybe it can be added in the future.

Where did you see a list of the waveforms? There is a crazy long discussion of this pedal in a thread on TGP and I'm pretty sure they listed the waveforms there - I thought they basically had everything one could want.

Quoted from the Source Audio website:

"There are four Voice Blocks. Within each Voice Block it will be possible to select from any of the following Voice Types: Dry Signal, Octave, Mono Pitch Shifting, Polyphonic Pitch Shifting, Synthesizer Sine Wave, and Synthesizer Square Wave."

WOW.

Looks UN-REAL!

In the spirit of continually making things better...and perhaps I'm alone in this camp, but I'd much rather see this in a larger enclosure with all top jacks as opposed to the side jacks on the smaller enclosure as presented. The current format won't keep me from putting one on my board, but since this is a discussion forum, thought I'd share my opinion that no one asked for :)
