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

Just curious about the upcoming synth/filter pedal. From the NAMM videos and Source website it looks like there will be octave up and down / pitch shifting, as well as square, sawtooth, and sine waves available for each voice.

This is a ton of options and flexibility already, but just curious if it is anticipated that other wave shapes may be added in the future, such as triangle, or double saw.

Either way, definitely interested in seeing what this pedal will be able to do!

Sorry I missed this. Probably not adding more wave shapes, but keep in mind that with 4 voices and square, sine and saw, you can crease lots of sounds!

Thanks for the response, I appreciate you taking the time! I don't doubt that there will be plenty of flexibility and versatility, just curious was all. Definitely looking forward to trying this pedal out, I am sure it will be a big hit for you guys!

Cheers!

I can’t get it all to fit on my pedaltrain board, so I guess I need to look for a new board. Hmmmm. Suggestions? Trying to fit ES-5, tuner, MXR Compressor, Future Impact, Neuro Hub, Aftershock, Mercury, Vertigo, Nemesis, and Ventris. I eventually also want some expression pedal.

If you don't want a bigger board, try a two tiered board with pedals you don't need to stomp under the top level and out of the way

Using the latest model of two tier Holeyboard for my MIDI effects: power supplies, Soleman, Neural Hub, PandaMIDI Future Impact, EHX Mod Rex, Red Panda Tensor, Lunar Phaser, Mercury Flanger, and Nemesis (I hope there is room for the Spectrum).

THIS! I was all the way up to a PT-Pro, and I honestly didn’t take it anywhere because it was too damned heavy and large. I finally went back to a PT-3 and swore I’d never go bigger.

Shelf is where it’s at! It uses the back edge of the ES-8 for support. Dual Lock my friends, Dual Lock.

@rsmith601 So I know you guys are busy stuffing every conceivable idea in the C4 series, but I was wondering if there was a possibility to add "key tracking" in the filter section. Basically, this would be like imitating an analog synth where it could be set so that the cutoff frequency of the filter is determined by the pitch you play.

1. 0%, 50%, 100% Settings
2. Direction setting (higher notes darker/lower note brighter, higher notes brighter/lower notes darker)

Also, having a Yamaha TX802 that I prefer to keep at home, I was excited at the prospect of FM synthesis within C4 Synth line. However, from all of the videos, I've never heard anything beyond the bass acting as a modifier to a single operator. Will this be able to do legit 4-operator FM synthesis with a selection of algorithms?

+1

Some tracking would be awesome. Or a simple HPF in a side chain can have similar effect. I find it to be hard to get an even modulation throughout the neck with many filters. Some times digging in hard on high notes still won’t open some filters as much as a soft low note.

Super excited to test this out!!!!

I need some help!
Just got a Neuro Hub to be able to use more patches on my Manta.
Got a Disaster Area DMC 3XL (Gen2) controller.
And I'm totally confused.
I can save scenes on the Hub, but one at a time sequentially (I think).
The controller also has settings to save scenes. But all I manage to do is save a scene and recall it. I save another scene to another number but then that recalls the first scene too. Or then the first scene recalls the second (either way both do the same scene).

Can someone please spell out a simple way to use the DA controller and the Hub together to save, say, more than 3 Manta settings?

Thanks!

I personally use a Midi Mouse but am assuming that the DA controller works similarly in that it can send PC messages to the hub. The steps I take when saving scenes is as follows:
1) I set my Midi Mouse to whichever PC slot I want (say 1),
2) then find a setting on the manta that I'd like to save,
3) then press and hold "save" on the hub.
Repeat all 3 steps for more scenes, up to 127. The hub will then "remember" what to recall based on the PC message it gets from the DA controller.
That said, I would not try to save anything on the DA, because - as for all SA pedals - scene memory is only in the hub.

i would want my manta after the drive. Just to give the filter more frequencies to work with. everything else seems logical to me, but as with all questions of this type, experimentation is key! trust your ears!
