View attachment 5006305 INCOMING! EQ2 to replace my SA170 and play nicely alongside my Aftershock. I have been waiting a while to get one of these.It will be the final piece added to my newly updated board. Quite exciting for a sad case like me.
Agree, not sad! Once you dive into the EQ2, you will want to have Neuro on all your other pedals. Don't worry! We have you covered! :)
 
So I’m just a C4 away from being ready to revamp the board and would appreciate some routing advice.

I use a G3 Atom as my loop switcher and midi controller. It essentially gives me 7 loops (as I can use the tuner aux in/out): one pre buffers, and then a further 6 that are completely reorderable. The setup will be entirely mono with a C4, Aftershock, Atlas, Spectrum, Lunar and Collider, and I’ll have further utility from a Hub.

I’d really appreciate some advice from the hive mind as to which of these 6 pedals is likely to get the most out of having access to two separate loops. Given that one of these would have to be before my pregain and reorderable loops, my immediate thought was the C4. This would let me hit it first in my chain for tracking, but then potentially also at any other point in the chain as well for additional filtering options. I can also run any of the main 6 reorderable loops in parallel, so there’s other options there too. I don’t know how much mileage I’d get on compression at two spots in the chain but would love to know everyone’s thoughts here.
 
Roger, any update on the Neuro Desktop/App update/revamp ?
We are still doing lots of work. It is a huge upgrade/project. We will be sending out a questionnaire soon to be sure we are covering everything. Keep an eye out.
 
So are you able to reroute pedals from being in your main signal chain into your C4 loop? I’m wondering just how powerful this loop controller is. Morning star is out of stock. I’m thinking I might get one when they’re back.
I am. For example, one ML10X might be just my octaver straight to the output. Another is my octaver into a fuzz with both of those inserted into the C4’s loop to run through one of its filters and associated envelopes so that I get the immediate response of those pedals (no pitch tracking latency); I can route these alone or blend them with up to three oscillators.

Or say I want to use the PWM capabilities of the Future Impact’s pulse waves but want to have those running into the C4’s filters. No problem.

It’s a powerful setup.

Got an Atlas coming in a few days. My first SA pedal (and first compressor). Here we go!
Welcome to the family! You can download the Neuro Desktop editor and look at the off-line editor as a way to get started without the pedal in hand. There is, of course, no need to touch the editor.....but there is lots of cool stuff in there.
This is a list of the community presets for Atlas ranked by the number of likes. @GMC leading the charge!!

Some Chorus from the Lunar on the Prophet here:

(The link goes to the page with sound files as I can’t seem to get them to work here.)
 
Saving scenes to the user online database would be monumental!! But not shure if it's achievable.
Scenes are more complicated than presets, because one person's pedal collection or pedal order is not the same as others. Also, way the Ultrawave is supported is not ideal for sharing. With that said, perhaps being able to export a scene into a PDF description might be useful?

How much of an improvement/how different will the updated version be? Can you give us a hint? ;)
Lots of little things for sure. Drag and drop of on the preset list. Undo button. Wider display. Folders for presets.
Then some bigger things. Preset recording. And one other HUGE thing that I will only define when we are sure we can do it.
