Source Audio Sorcerers Society (S.A.S.S) Part 3

What are your thoughts on the Poly? Sorry for hijacking the thread but that pedal is under my radar.
Could you link the "big board thread?" Wouldn't mind jumping over there to check things out.
On the Atlas, is it possible to control the "optimization" via MIDI? "Optimized for Guitar" vs "Optimized for bass."
I use my Quad Cortex for both guitar and bass. Although its not a huge deal to manually switch back and forth with the "powering on + control button" trick, it would be nice if I could do it via footswitch.

No, this is supposed to be used as once per power up control, not something that can be A/B’d
my poly currently handles reverb/delay/panning duties and for that it’s been awesome. It can do so much more though. If you get one I highly recommend getting a stylus to make for a faster work flow. I still have yet to sit down and really build my own presets. I’ve just been modding ones on the device right before jams.
I like to sit down right before jams and load up presets from the neuro editor and save about five or six different sounds to the Soleman/hub and choose a random patch on the poly. This makes for fun, fresh and inspiring jams for me and everyone else.
Pedal Breeders' BIG Board Club Part III
Dismal weather last Sunday in UK. Perfect for a jam sesh. Here's a recording, done in one take, using my UW with some delay effects.
I created some Ableton beats and just went through various UW presets. No plan, other than see what sounds I could come up with, staying within 1 key, 1 bass, 4 strings, exp pedal.
Recorded a dual track, then shifted 1 track to a different start point, bit of panning. Quite pleased with the soundscapes....will take ideas into new projects. Always learning. UW continues to surprise.
Now I cant remember exactly which UW presets I used ha ha!!
But probably most of these (my mods):
Prismatic Brilliance '21 my mod
Future Retro my mod
3 Step Multiband Tremolo
Technical Ecstasy my mod 1
GMC Snappy Comp & OD my mod
Parallel MultiDrive
Pulsate 88
plus a few of my own presets
so shout out to you guys - thanks for great presets
warning - it goes on a bit!

Which Source Audio pedals can be controlled via the Neuro Mobile App and a direct USB connection from their USB Mini-B port to an Android phone's USB-C port?
I know the UltraWave, C4, and Atlas. I don't think any others can at this point. I can also say that I have successfully edited with my iPhone on both the UW and C4.

All but the modulators, the 3 original dirt pedals, and the true spring. All newer pedals support usb with an OTG adapter.
Recently built up an SA "majority" board. The Aftershock is not playing well with others. It will be fine for a bit and then the small upper green light comes on and it doesn't respond properly after. I have two Aftershock pedals and I swapped it out and reset. Now it won't respond to changes from the Neuro desktop. I'm thinking now I have to resave all presets?? I have replaced cables and it's getting 500mah. Any help would be great.

It's most likely to be your juice. It might be power starved.
After days of confusion and many emails.. I now have the DMC Micro scrolling and recalling presets with the Collider, same as the other SA/midi pedals do.
It was shutting off only one DSP engine between presets, then it wasn't recalling presets, then I couldn't get the Micro to communicate with the Collider, then it would change randomly to a different preset.. you have no idea. I finally just backed up every pedal, reset everything and started fresh, swapped the midi commands on the Collider first and for some reason it worked. Not gonna question it, I'm just going with it.. thank you SA and DA support!

Hi guys! I just picked up a C4 and an Aftershock and would love some advice: What’s your Top 3 favorite patches for each? Thanks!
Download the neuro desktop app from source audio. Connect you pedal to your pc and the app. Load the app and search for patches for your pedal. There are thousands. You have even sort by most popular patches. Should get you started.
Adding to the above, search for names of pedals or songs you know. A lot of us name our presets with that sort of thing in mind
C4 just has too many function options to give a top 3.
The numbers of community presets is enormous! So its a long term exploration. Depends on what type of sounds you want.
As well as advice above, you can search for key words..... 'pads', 'octaves', 'filter' etc
I built up my own collection of folders on pc, with this sort of classification. Then learnt how the different types work. Can then tweak to make your own.....
My C4's patch bays (128) are fully filled, which just goes to show how versatile this pedal can be.
These are my most used patches...mostly my own patches or tweaked variants of other versions and I've uploaded them for everyone to use.
Patch 1: GMC Meridain Funkulator III | Knob 1: Voice 1 level, Knob 2 Voice 2 level, Exp Filter control
Patch 2: GMC - OC-2 | Knob 1: Dry Mix, Knob 2: Distortion mix
Patch 3: GMC PAD (in D) | Knob 1: Voice 1 level (dry mix), Knob 2 Envelope Speed, Expression: Low pass filter freq
Patch 4: GMC Bass Chopper - I use midi to control the LFO wave shape...so i can trem or chop. knob 1 LFO speed, Knob 2 Distortion
Patch 5: QM FM Upright Bass 7b - a great Double Bass emulator by Quatsmacher
Patch 6: Blade Runner Brass by Proton Lenny
Another fav of mine is a simple tremolo, which I've also ported over onto the Spectrum.
