Are those single band distorsions the same as the ones in the LA-L/KM/AS ?[/QUOTE]
Short answer ~ No. Long answer is they are each based of different approaches plus as comprehensive as the toolbox is on the Ultrawave it does not replicate the functionality of the Dirty Trio for shaping those tones to work in a sonic context. Ultrawave uses a pure waveform that can be split different ways, boosted, leveled, muted plus the multi band tremolo. The Dirty Trio uses various specific type engines or models each that have several control points of added shaping for gain, tone, saturation that the Ultrawave does not have. While they are both wonderful pedals they do not really replace the other and there is very little overlap in sounds.

OMG... the Ultrawave is freaking cool. Do you guys know about this pedal? :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: ;) ;)

Sarcasm aside... I snagged a few presets off the community and have gone to outer space and back. I can't wait for the BL to hear some of this stuff for our Live Dub sections..

Slick pedal, SA crew. Very, very slick.

You are one of the lucky ones to dive in and take a look. Many folks consider it too difficult or too different. Particularly guitar players. You all bass players know where it is AT :)

I haven't done a deep dive yet, but the presets I found are great! I was able to adjust a couple of parameters to fit my needs and I'm diggin' it. I'm sure once I start to rabbit-hole this thing I'll hit the learning curve head on. Preparing myself for that :D.

I figure the Ultra isn't more difficult to navigate than the C4. Takes some time to get familiar with both of them, but it sure can be fun messing with them. (I put a few up in the cloud.)

I just realized the compressor graphic for the Ultrawave is not showing up in my desktop Neuro App (Windows 10). When I loaded presets earlier I wasn't paying attention, I just changed levels and some of the drive/eq.

Is there an update or something I need to select? I've restarted the computer and reconnected the pedal a few times, nothing has changed.

The Distortion Engines in the LA-L/KM/AS are models of specific types of commercially available dirt pedals based around a grouping of circuit design types. For example, Muffs, Rats, Tube Screamers, Klons, DarkGlass and a lot more. So if I wanted a simple Muff, I would select one from the list and tweak their EQ and knob options to taste. However, I can't change the type of engine outside of the model. So if I wanted more sustain / compression, I would probably have to stack / cascade two of the same engines together to boost the compression and then dial in the grit levels for them both.
The Ultrawave is a much more interesting and modular approach. You choose sperate elements to build your dirt as if they are modular blocks. I have a separate compressor that I can put pre or post dirt. I have an 8 and EQ, pre or post. I have trem options and mult-band splits. I have the 45 Distortion types which are modelled on mathematical models of different types of dirt. So there's an engine for silicone or octave, in fact every different type of object at a circuit component level is modelled. So I can build a distortion in a similar way that i would build a distortion circuit with out the hassle of getting out a soldering iron.

I believe this is our issue. The thumbnail graphic of Atlas has not been loaded into the Neuro database. It was on the list of about 100 things that needed to be done to launch Atlas.

Atlas is working fine. I'm referring to the comp graphic in the Ultrawave desktop editor.. That's not showing up.

Yes, this has impacted some users, but not all. I will PM you a temp fix. Next release will take care of it. Sorry about that.

I'm getting a "code execution cannot proceed" message. There appears to be a file missing after install, its not working for me. Just emailed support for more help. Thank you!

How soon is the next release? I'm sporadically experiencing this issue as well. A restart fixes it, but I (unfortunately) have to do other things on my computer that don't involve playing bass...

Jesse is waiting to see if there are any Atlas issues prior to the update.

Regarding the new feature for the mobile app to control C4, etc., via USB, do I just need any standard USB cable with the appropriate plug types?

To answer my own question, seems the answer is yes. I found the right adaptor for the USB C jack on my phone and it worked.

The only thing that didn't seem to work was the preset names. I could change presets from the pedal or recall presets from the button in the phone app and the app would read the settings from the pedal, except for preset name where it just kept showing the name from preset 1.

Is your C4 on the latest firmware? Download the latest Neuro desktop and then update the pedal from there.
