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

@rsmith601 I’m sure this has been brought up in the past but could there ever be the possibility of adding a crossover to the feature set of the One Series dirt pedals? I recently got one of @johnk_10 ‘s mini XO pedals and it’s really kicking my ass. The Aftershock is still my favorite overall but the mini XO is now a very close second place pick.

Companies are always boasting that they are "customer focused/customer driven". In most cases they never find meaningful ways to actually pull this off. It winds up being nothing more than a slogan. I am convinced that our time here and on TGP makes Source Audio deeply engaged with customers in an authentic manner. Some of you like to think that there are super-smart wizards at pedal companies who know more than customers. I think this is a fallacy. The best way to innovate is to be smart and clever about how you engage with your customers and the people you want to be your customers. And, that is why I am here.

I love you guys.

Sounds like a nice idea....but we are a bit distracted with some other things at the moment!

Can you chain hubs together? If so, will it work with the soleman the same way one does?

More than 2 Hubs is easy. Set them to the same MIDI channel. All you need to do is press "save" on both Hubs when you save a scene.

Awesome. Just ordered a soleman. Guess I will be getting another hub too.

A few years ago, I would’ve just tried this to see if it worked, and if not, then asked around. But now, I probably would’ve asked first to avoid potentially messing something up. So many different options in hard/software out there, that it doesn’t seem like it’d be that simple.

Yet you guys make it that simple. Incredible.

I’m in the process of building pretty much a all source audio board now. I recently bought a mutron microtron and it was cool. I pulled my bef back out and hooked it up and damn if the first preset didn’t sound identical to the microtron. Actually it was better because of the eq. It still is my all time favorite filter. And I had a great phaser setting too. You guys make such cool stuff and don’t even get me started on the nemesis and how beautiful that thing sounds. I’ll post a pic of my board when I’m done.

Does anyone know where you can get shorter cables to connect to the hub, 6 or 8 inches say? There's a big old tangle under my board.

The shortest right angle connectors I have been able to find are 1.5 feet (460 mm) from My Cable Mart. The same site also has 0.5 feet (150 mm) but they are straight connectors, not angled.

All I could find.

Thanks guys. Probably need a UK seller however you have just prevented me from buying trs cables. I never really considered the jacks that closely just plugged them in rushing to get things up and running. Much appreciated

Quite a few on eBay...

Cheers there's a few on ebay. Planning to re do my board, hopefully back to a smaller Metro20. All made possible by the new FI housing.

 

[shaggy45]

Alright I've sold some stuff and managed to order everything for my board.

It will have the following source audio pedals:

Soleman
2 hubs
Dual expression pedal (until i get a reflex)
Programmable EQ
Pro BEF
Aftershock
Luner Phaser
Vertigo Tremolo
Ventris
Nemesis

I think I'll just fire my band and make sound scapes in my basement.

non source audio pedals:

vt bass
le bass
multicomp
Xerograph dlx
Plasma pedal
oc2 (until the spectrum comes out)
Possibly the depth charge if it will fit.

now that i look at the above, whoops, i was suppose to be down sizing.

@rsmith601 Are there any updates planned for fixing the MIDI clock response on the Nemesis further?

I ask because I'm struggling with the Nemesis taking a little too long to sync up with the MIDI clock from my Boss ES-8. For a simple test, I have one preset on the ES-8 with a tempo of 120 bpm and another preset on the ES-8 with a tempo of 60 bpm. Switching to the 60 bpm MIDI clock setting it takes the Nemesis almost 2 seconds to audibly catch up to the MIDI clock. Switching from 60 bpm and 120 bpm takes half a second. I have firmware 1.20 on my Nemesis.

I duplicated your setup and am noticing the same behavior. Will look into it further tomorrow. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Sourceror lvl 1. Finally getting around to it. Wired hot hand too!

 

[shaggy45]

Waiting on my ventris, then I’ll put my board together. I’m taking the preamps off now since I got a broughton p-15 coming. Gonna throw the boomerang III on there

 

[shaggy45]

On another note. I did a test run with the soleman and it’s great. It’s so neat to be able to save and load presets of multiple pedals and have them sync with tap tempo so easily.

Our method for syncing to MIDI Clock was slightly different with the Nemesis. The incoming values are smoothed out slightly to prevent bouncing around, which makes it more optimal for small to medium changes in bpm (50% or so and less, vs 50% +). We are going to test a few new methods tomorrow.
