Apologies if this has already been asked. I have a C4 which I’m obsessed with so I got an Aftershock. My main rig is bassed around a HX Stomp. Using command centre I can turn the C4 on and off from the stomp. I can’t figure out how to do the same with the aftershock, how can I do this?

Back at it with another noon question (my specialty these days) - would the SA midi adapter let me remove the Neuro Hub from my board? Or do I need to just stick with the Hub to control multiple pedals and use Scenes?

I think only you can answer that question.

I think only you can answer that question.

Can I chain the pedals together with a single adapter?

Can I chain the pedals together with a single adapter?

They say it's one adapter per pedal. The adapters can be chained by connecting the THRU from one to the IN on the next one in line.

Here's a link to my post about it last month:

Perfect, thank you - no sense in buying 3+ adapters when the Hub is doing just fine.

That's kind of the conclusion I came to as well. But it was also when I was trying to figure out a way to fit the hub on the underside of a pedalboard and running into some issues. I think using multiple adapters could come in handy in a situation like that when you need to keep a low profile. I ended up figuring out a way to get the hub to fit though

This SA pedal combo with Neuro Hub and DA micro Pro has worked flawlessly through 14 band situations/gigs over the last 6 weeks. The Setlist Maker app on Android tablet automatically drives the pedals via MIDI for the correct settings as we go through the songs. The DMC.micro PRO display allows me to verify the setting and I can use it to manually select a different setting as a backup feature.

Planning additional patch programming and then shrink everything down to a smaller pedalboard. Also thinking about adding the SA EQ pedal and possibly the Atlas in place of the Empress. Will remove the USB Hub or move it to the bottom of the board to save room as it is not needed except for making changes.

Already posted this in the PYPB thread but I figured the SA folks would appreciate it as well - the family has grown.

Great setup! I have to look more into that setlist maker. The process sounds interesting.

Is there anything else in the midi chain between the dmc and the hub? What if you did some rearranging and placed the ultrawave on channel 1?

To follow up on this... I noticed my cioks was selected to 12v, the little switch had gotten moved. I switched it back to 9V amd have had no issues with scrolling as of now. Not sure if that was the cause but things seem to be working, or i just cant replicate the issue.

Now i have an Atlas question.. wanna see if anyone else had this same thing going in on.. While working in the Neuro app on PC with the Studio 76 bass preset selected, if you adjust the preset volume with the "output" knob on the pedal itself - the "attack" value on compressor B goes from 67.3ms to 629ms with no option to go back.

The same thing happens if you use the mouse to adjust the output. See pic 1 vs pic 2. You will see I lowered the output value on compressor B in the second pic. I cannot adjust the attack back to 67.3ms or any other value. It just stays at 629ms. How do i adjust it back?

Question for y'all.
So, with the Gemini/Lunar/Mercury family, I know each pedal's engine, (if that's the correct terminology), and settings can be loaded on any other pedal in the family.

Let's say I have a Gemini.
Would it be possible to say, load Lunar & Mercury onto the Gemini, and have it so that the toggle switch to the left is Gemini, in the center is Lunar, and to the right is Mercury?

Yes, you could have a chorus, phaser and flanger patch loaded to each of the toggle positions respectively.

 

[Spector2112]

Thank you, that's great to know.

 

[Quatschmacher]

Thank you, that's great to know.

The only thing to note is the knob functions are fixed (whereas more recent SA pedals allow complete remapping of knobs per patch).

 

[Spector2112]

Gotcha

I use a Lunar, my left switch (in green and red mode) are chorus effects, the middle are both Phasers and the right is either a rotary or trem. I rarely use a flanger, although I do have a few scenes with them on my Neuro hub.

 

[aguacateojos]

Welcome to my mess. Added a Lunar about two months ago, and a Collider (DD-7 is outgoing) on Friday. Trying out new order combos and wondering how y'all would add those into the chain. Historically, I've run the AS into the C4 but I'm trying to swap them around. The other new thing I'm trying is to move the comp BEFORE mod and time effects instead of at the end of the chain. So I've got

Tuner > SubT > AS > C4 > XD > comp > Lunar > Collider > HPF

How might you approach this?

Thanks. It's so great to have the pedalboard set automatically for the next song with zero delay. I think you will like it if you are in a band that transitions quickly between songs.

There are a few songs where I'm changing the EQ on my active bass so I'm considering the EQ2 to automate that. Also considering the Atlas but I do like the LED indicators on the Empress. The pedalboard is already great but as often happens in design engineering (my background) there is creeping elegance, in this case self generated rather than coming from a sales department. Lol.

"Creeping Elegance". I was not familiar with that term. As a fellow engineer, It's nice to finally have a name for what my problem is
