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

Sheesh Id love to be an early adopter..
Another possible obvious question to those who have other Source Audio gear....but can I run the input/outputs on the C4 so that input1 -> output1 is unaffected, but input 2-> output 2 is affected? That may sound odd, but here's my scenario:

I'm looking at getting a delay pedal (after I buy the C4, of course) that has its own effects loop that's only within the delay path. I'd like to use some modulation in it, but I obviously still want to be able to use the C4 on it's own. It would look like this:

Bass -> C4 In1 -> C4 Out1 (clean) -> Delay In -> Delay TRS Out -> C4 In2 -> [C4 stuff] -> C4 Out2 -> Delay TRS In -> Delay Out

Then I could have some presets where only in/out 2 is affected (so that my clean signal passes through everything else and to my delay), and some presets where I get the normal synth stuff I want from in/out 1.

I hope some of that made sense....
This makes sense and honestly I hope it can do this too.

I use my Aftershock for some similarly complicated signal routing. I'm just not 100% sure of the Spectrum/C4 routing capabilities.

You're looking to run your Bass through Channel 1 into your delay and then you want Channel 2 to sit in the FX loop of your Delay. Is this correct?

Speaking from perspective of the Aftershock You can run Channel1 parallel to Channel 2. This is what you'd need to enable in the system settings for the signal chain you're after. From here it all comes down to how you route your cables. I have run Channel 1 into Channel 2 on my Aftershock so I assume your routing would work.

Awesome - thanks for the reply (and how you're describing what I want to do is correct). Sounds like it will do exactly what I need!

The C4 block diagram on the SA website gives some insight. Note that with Aftershock we do the routings because you don't have access to it. On C4 you can create routings yourself.

I know the TGPers are giving you guff, but thanks for answering each and every question and concern on both forums (and I suspect more) to the best of your ability. Personally, I’m not a early adopter and will wait until the official release. But I’m very excited. :thumbsup:

Agree 100%, rsmith601 and all the folks at and associated with Source Audio have been fantastic!
 
@rsmith601, how long after the beta is the full release supposed to happen? I was assuming just a couple of weeks, but never got a confirmation on that.
This depends on the following:
  • Collecting 128 good presets to put in the pedal
  • Adding the C4 to the Neuro Mobile
  • Verifying that the C4 and its editor are working well for all the beta users
It will be at least 2 weeks. Probably 3 to 4 is a better guess.
 
And the Spectrum? Has that been pushed as well? I might want to wait to compare features but I also like instant gratification. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
I would imagine that Spectrum will follow the C4 by a few weeks. A bit hard to tell at the moment.
