Quick question, will a Dunlop DVP4 work as an expression pedal for the C4?
Click to expand...
It should work providing you use the correct cable and correct parameter settings in Neuro. I use a Zoom FP02M with my C4 works fine using the Neuro cable supplied.
There is an internal switch inside the Dunlop DVP4 that switches the tuner out to a trs expression output.

Okay, today's first order of business with my new C4 was getting to know the interface by starting to approximate the sounds I need from my Proton and my Subterranea (straight Low Pass Envelope Filter, straight Octaver and some sawtoothy thing with blendable/adjustable voices in the same octave and one octave below). This is what it needs to be able to do in order to replace the two. The whacky fun and 80s synths can come later.

Two hours later I do have to say that I'm quite pleased with the results. I created three presets (also taking existing presets and tweaking them to my needs) that represent a pretty close and impressive base for fine-tuning. The interface is really quite intuitive and I learned a lot in a short time. I really like this box!

The filter drop down of the interface really made me understand and appreciate why all the envelope filters on the market can sound radically different (or in some cases why they sound the same). It was really informative to go through them and try them all out to see what they did.

I spent a little time (my time slices come in small chunks) last night and today working with the editor. Last night I felt like an idiot, because I couldn't hear any changes when, for example, I added distortion. I thought I'd spend a little time today before writing a pathetic "help me!" post here, and discovered (with the help of the manual) the routing (Destination Pull Down Menu) for the Voice controls. Suddenly I was making edits and they were actually doing something! I tweaked a community octave preset to be a bit more to my liking. I still need to tweak it some more, and I expect to find time for that before the week is out.
AND... my DMC Micro comes tomoroow. :bassist:

Awesome! Happy that it’s going well and you’re empowered creatively.

Thanks. The "problem" is that this very likely will take care of my (very limited, very mild) OD needs and my octave needs, knocking 2 mini pedals (Mooer Tender Octave and Hookers Green OD) off my board. Then there's a hole, which will be itching to be filled by another SA pedal...

@rsmith601 is there any plan for a C4/Aftershock sized, NeuroEditor based combination Delay/Reverb?
Click to expand...
Unfortunately the way the small box pedals are set up, there just isn’t enough ram memory to make a useable delay (I asked this about 4 years ago :)), and the true spring kinda shows it, if you set the pre delay to max on that pedal (which is pretty much the same as delay time), you get a very fast, slap back like effect. That’s at max. So delay is beyond the small box one series capabilities.

Ok, you’re off the hook on the footprint but you still have to do a Timeline killer verb/delay in that footprint.

Hm. They gave the same numbers as the C4, to a Boss EQ and the MXR Bass Mono Synth.
Is the BMS really on the same level as the C4???
And their C4 demo sounds pretty bad. Too bad.

Oh indeed, that demo is really half-assed. Sounds like something Ween might have recorded when they were really out of it. Hmmm…almost sounds like a compliment.

Worked on a new sound along with quick video tonight for a good while. Figured out how to volume swell with the envelope and expression sweep frequency... worked through a bunch of parameters and settings, to figure out how things all fit together.

...and I’d have it up and posted if the Neuroeditor didn’t lose functionality sometime between my first rough save and one an hour later. So I couldn’t save it for later work or use. That’s a bit demoralizing.
