The manual for my Future impact tells me I don’t need another pedal for an envelope filter, Octave pedal, chorus pedal. But figuring out how to make the future impact do all those things is pretty difficult.

Please explain how this set up works the korg got my minds gears going with what I could do with my synths
Volcabass was connected to one of the h9’s for reverbs, delay or pitch to make chords and drones with it. I would later on control it with the morningstar to play notes with my foot.
Just walking onstage to set up with my small pedalboard has gotten eye rolls from a few audio guys.
When I crack it open and they see a Khan Tube DI, a tuner, and the Stomp, the eyes cone back into focus. They may look at the Stomp funny, but I respond with “All the Stomp does is transpose the tuning down a 1/2 step per my artist’s wishes. Now get my iPad connected to your digital monitor desk so I can handle the monitors and leave me alone”…..

Okay, not really, but I’ve come pretty close to that response, I gotta admit….

Sir, I feel like we are kindred spirits. I do the same thing with my Morningstar except I run a MIDI cable out of my pedalboard up to my synths. I have banks programmed in the Morningstar to send notes chromatically, in various scales, and various chords. It's great for creating drones and even following chord changes on the fly.
Pretty cool! I did something similar with a few korg and arturia synths, but have more or less stopped doing it.
Our guitarist doubles up on a crazy synth/ keys rig, and plays way better than me lol.
I just keep a korg monologue around, but might just have to connect with midi again.
It’s pretty fun!
In heads into the fuzz of the day (currently the Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom) then the tuner, then an A/B Split. Top row into the Stomp is for guitar, bottom row into the Stomp is for bass. I tend to use a rack of outboard effects for things like delay and reverb because I have them as sends for everything in my studio.
Then there is this thing, which is what I use to make most of my music and occasionally plug the bass guitar into. Love running the bass into the filters and wave folders in the modular.
