I installed the patch and my neuro hub isn't bricked but it still does not seem to be talking to my Eq2.
I updated the firmware. Rebooted the hub (just in case).
Tried my 2 scenes. Input 1 and Input 2. nothing.

As it is only 2 scenes (all my others were scrapped due to pedal board overhaul). I did a factory reset on the hub and set the two up again.

When I have Desktop connected to the Eq2, I see the 2 scenes. When I select a scene the led point for that scene is engaged.

When I have Desktop connected to the Hub, selecting a scene seems to have no affect. Led on the EQ2 stays where it was last.

Hub is on midi 1, EQ2 is on midi 2
On the Soleman I have Input 1 and 2 2 Macro scenes that each ensure that the C4 and Future Inpact are bypassed/ disengaged and then send a PC#1on midi 1 or PC#2 on midi 1.

So that didn't seem to work.

Then I adjusted the Input 1 macro to just set the volume up on CC#1 and down on CC#2 and the inverse on the Input 2 macro. Both on midi #2.

No dice...

So I also tested C4 patches. Also macro based 2 lines. First disengage the Fi. Second a CC#104 on midi 1 with the preset number to recall. Interestingly, when I go to my third scene, a C4 Chameleon patch. That works. I get my Herbie ARP sound.
When I step back to Scene 2, the C4 is disengaged - however my EQ2 is still set to preset 1.

Not sure if this is pilot error or if the updated firmware is not doing what I expect it to.

When I updated the FW on the hub, it simply would not respond to midi messages. (No flashing light.)

not sure what’s happening here. Can you guys send a backup file to [email protected] I believe Niko is handling both of you guys, this way jesse can at least see what’s going on in each of your hub backup files. @monkeyfinger you’ll need to update back to 1.20 in order for us to see what is going on.

Thanks again, just sent the hub backup and a soleman backupjust in case it would be helpful.

I do not believe so from what I have read on it. I suspect that a company like Roland/Boss has a dedicated "compliance lab" where they have lots of equipment and a procedure established for testing that their MIDI devices will work with most or the things that are out there. In my 20 years at Analog Devices we did things like this when necessary. When you have 10,000 employees, its not a big deal to dedicate 5 people to a compliance lab. Doing this at any smaller company is very difficult. But, as noted, with the passage of time a small company can catch up. We have been at this for 15 years, so we are becoming experts for sure. Also note that what we do with MIDI is WAY beyond the typical pedal company.

Damn. I was hoping it'd make your lives that bit easier.

Kudos to you for the work you do on this, too.

Just wanted to mention that I find SA's commitment to customer support exemplary. Good luck sorting this issue out with the EQ2. I am awaiting the arrival of the Aftershock, which will be my third SA pedal.

Thank you for your faith is us! Most of the time things so smoothly! Luckily, Jesse has the Hub, the EQ2, the ES-5 and the AS on his bench and he has collected the input from all who are having trouble with this. It is his top priority this morning.

Do tell us how it sounds. We already know what it looks like. ;-)

Yeah!! Grabbed one of the beta Ultrawaves as well, can't wait to get crazy with this one. Got a spot ready for it on my board right before my C4.

The limited graphic is totally sick, I bet it looks even better in person!!!!

It does, it has a lovely textured finish, a bit like the Phase 90 block model.

Just snagged a gemini to add to my aftershock and C4, very excited. Do people here without the neuro hub use one switch for chorus, one for flange, and one for phaser, or switch with the app? Just trying to figure out the best use in a band setting. At least until i inevitably get the hub
