Setting up to max out my Hub. True Spring going back on to try 2x/3x reverbs, mostly w e-cello. ebs micro-3 coming on too. Excited about stereo DI.

Did you find yourself using the loops and other effects in the MS3 outside of the MiDi control and tuner?

I actually used the loops a lot! I put my Aftershock in one, the C4 in another, and the lunar in the third loop. The MS3 doesn’t have the moveable loops though, so that was a downside. I normally didn’t use the built in effects, but occasionally I would them (like an extra chorus on top of the Lunar).

I loved the Soleman but got frustrated with it. I wanted a way to have a reset for everything but couldn't do it without commiting a switch. With the MC6 I have an external swtich which links to the second page with a couple of switches, reset and tuner (stomp) . These are copied to every patch so they are always available without using any of the 6 buttons. Other features I like are, multi switch, longer names and ability to edit on the device without computer.

Just made this tonight for those of you wanting more control of individual pedals over TRRS and access their onboard presets separate from the hub. The dmc controllers are great for this. The morning star should also work, and to a lesser extent, you can use panel mode on the soleman to do the same. The airstep controllers should also work once they come out with their big update too. The DMC controllers are just the most straightforward way to do this without much midi knowledge on how to program it.

Quick questios:

when setting up the spectrum with a disaster area micro, you have to set it up as a C4, right?

Also, what’s the best firmware to use? Beta 2.01?

and can I set it up via the online interface, or do i have to use the scroll through method?

C4 driver works for all compatible, non midi jack one series pedals, technically it will work for all of the pedals to an extent. Nemesis driver is for the big box pedals and the eq2, with a few caveats for the collider and eq2.

use the newest firmware for the micro and you have access to the web editor. I think it’s 2.01a

Thanks for this. I bought a used micro controller and have been trying to get it going. I watched the online video after loading the newest firmware. It was a little confusing but I could get in on the website to make changes. Then I realized that the video was using the old firmware, so I uploaded that to the controller so that I could follow the video, but then didn’t understand why i couldn’t get in again on the website. All makes sense now.

EDIT: all seems to be working now. I just need to figure out how to actually start using it with my Spectrum!

Curious, will the Dunlop DVP4 work with the Soleman? I'm thinking it should, but I don't know for sure. Wondering if anyone has tried it.

No reason it shouldn’t if Soleman has an expression input. It works well with other controllers.

Thought I would post an update on my solution to the sync problems I was having with my Aftershock and Neuro all. I was using an Apple brand 3.5 MM to Lightning adapter, but I decided to switch it out with a different Apple adapter Problem solved!

This is the second time my Aftershock has lost connectivity with the Neuro app because of a wonky adapter. Obviously the app is finicky in that regard. But it’s a great app regardless!

Which adapter are you using? I am in the process of buying both a headphone adapter for my iPhone and a USB cable for my computer. Don't want to get the wrong ones. Thanks!

 

[s_wood]

I am using the Apple brand 3.5mm to Lightning adaptor. My experience is that the Apple brand adaptors are much more likely to work than others.

Thanks! On my way home to try it out!

Hello First time Source Audion user. Just got the Spectrum.
Question:
Can I edit presets while still
Plugged into my amp and hear the adjustments as I make them in the editor? thanks.

Pro tip: use a looper pedal to create a loop so that you can hear the changes in real time.

great idea. Thanks. So it is possible then?

 

[deepestend]

Yes. Specifically, I've had success with my phone plugged in making changes.

What has been great is to go to the library and change the preloaded settings (factory and fan made) to see what the sound like to see if you want to add them.

You can see an example of that in this video at about 23:20:

Thank you! is there a thread explaining how to save the edited presets to the 6 toggled preset positions available on the pedal?
My understanding is that I select a preset and save as to the preset spot I want. But, Would I first copy the existing toggle position preset to another spot so I don’t loose that factory preset? Or is there an easier way? sorry for the confused and confusing post.
It seems the videos I’ve watched and manual all talk about editing and Saving presets, or burning presets to the pedal. But nothing explains how to move them into the usable toggle locations.

 

[Gsnorgathon]

Presets 1 - 6 are the ones you can get to by using the toggle switch. Just save any factory presets that you want to keep to a different location before overwriting any of presets 1 - 6.
