Question about Spectrum
Top 3 Level Sounds:
  • Tron= Mutron
  • Dumpling= ??
  • Thrust=Octave+some drive+some filter

Originally Dumpling was going to be the Meatball. It is a cool sound for both guitar and bass, and few others have taken the time to model it (maybe no one?). Its harder than the Mutron to get right. We are really close now given the new tools in C4. With that said, it is in the same general ballpark as the Mutron. Would it make more sense to do something really different? Keep in mind, the Meatball can be on the ALT set of presets, and certainly in the Neuro Library. Thoughts?

Desperately want a reliable Meatball sound for my bass. During the infancy of this project, the Meatball was the most enticing sound that was foreshadowed. I hope someone gets a good one up in the user presets! I need that super wet Gordo Funk Stick!

Well, it is going to be on either the top level presets (GREEN) or one button push away (RED). Nathan posted a Boogie On preset! Neuro Community by Source Audio

@rsmith601 You said it yourself, few have modeled the Meatball! The Mutron has been modeled and copied a ton... Ditch the Mutron, keep the Meatball and then do something "really different!" :D

So I have a question. When I close the desktop App and try to go back in later it says that it is already running and won't let me start it up I have to restart my computer every time. And it does not show up in the task manager to be able to shut it down?

Happened to me as well. Only once, though. It does show in task manager but not as an app running. Look in the processes tab, you'll see it, end the process there and the editor will open again like normal. So far it hasn't happened to me again after 3 or 4 uses, not sure why it did the first time. And not sure about Macs, my laptop is Windows 10.

Interesting times... might do a vid comparing raw oscilator sounds.

(as a completely off-topic BTW: putting 60% of my pedalboard in the loop of the Chromatron has proven to be great: I the filter is controlled by my playing volume no matter how I mangle the sound afterwards)

Can anyone advise "the best" ADSR setting? Which one gives me the lowest attack time? I've tried them all, different times and there's always something odd about them. A little more background on what all the different settings are would be most welcome - sometimes the Speed knob gives you a slower attack when turned CW and sometimes it's CCW...

TIA

The SY-1 dropping the day before the C4 made me break out the conspiracy corkboard.
I didn't know about two more mystery releases though. That is big news!


I noticed that too! It really bummed me out because the C4 is gamechanging and the sy-1 just seems like an ehx whatever-9 rehash/rebox with the boss logo.

I think the SY1 is going to be a lot better and more in depth than any EHX synth put out. No offense to EHX, they’ve made some great synths. But the SY1 seems to me like it’s got more options, more sounds, more features and will end up tracking a lot better. Latencey doesn’t seem to be an issue at all either. For what it is, I feel like the SY is going to be hard to beat. The C4 will almost assuredly beat it out on more than one front. That’s why I ended up getting one. But I am also going to be sticking with my SY1 pre-ord. I hope to keep them both. I’m fans of both brands. And can you imagine running the C4 in the SY1’s effects loop!!?? It’s gonna be a ton of fun.


But I still think the SY1 is going to be better than some are speculating already. Maybe I’m wrong. But it sure doesn’t seem like it’s going to be just another “kinda cool, not so awesome” compact synth pedal. But I still believe the C4 will win out on more than one front. Again. And also again, I feel like the SY1 is already catching an unwarranted beating from some either because it’s got the Boss name on it or because they think it’ll be inferior to other synths. But for it’s class and category, I believe the C4 will most likely be the only one that’ll beat it out. They are going to both be awesome! And I can’t wait to try them!
