Wish Modifiers for metronome

Bump! Because I am practicing right now and this would be an amazing tool instead of having to use the looper through my DAW. Can you explain further? Maybe walk through a step by step and how it works once set up. Maybe this could help. Cheers!

CS MIDI to switch Metronome on and off

I'm trying to get this working right now. Too bad the Metronome On/Off switch does not have a modifier for easy assignment. I want to be able to long press a switch and have it come on and off. Even better if the volume is set globally across all presets, and the Looper doesn't "hear" the...

Wish Modifiers for metronome

Bump Would be great to have the Metronome be able to have a global volume setting and then be switched on/off via a press of a button, just like the Tuner can be. Would also be great if the Looper didn't recognize it - so you could use it to record a base layer, and then turn the metronome off...

How would you design a patch to duck a looper with EQ when using other scenes?

I did some searching and found that the parameter I was looking for in the Looper was the Dry Level setting. So I have a pretty usable preset working now - and I made a thread in the Preset Exchange section talking about it and sharing it if anyone cares to take a look and/or check it out...

My Acoustic Guitar Preset

I made this preset a few days ago after getting a K&K Pure Mini installed in my new Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe guitar. Sharing it here in case anyone else wants to explore some acoustic guitar oriented presets with their set up. I think any other under saddle transducer pickup would work well...

How would you design a patch to duck a looper with EQ when using other scenes?

When putting the Looper and Parametric EQ onto their own parallel path, and then merging it back to the main path before Out 1, I get a decent bump in volume for the whole chain. And unlike other blocks, I don't have a Level control on the looper. How should I gain stage this? I can't make the...

How would you design a patch to duck a looper with EQ when using other scenes?

Of course, sounds simple - I will test it out today and report back. Cheers, Leon! Could you elaborate a little bit on your suggestion of using the volume block? For some reason I was imagining having to use the Mixer block(s) to achieve this - which I think could be done - but would probably...

How would you design a patch to duck a looper with EQ when using other scenes?

Just thinking about how I might go about this: I have an acoustic guitar preset where I run my guitar with a K&K Pure Mini pickup in it through the FM9. I like to use this setup for looping, where I'll play through the framework of a song, loop it, and engage another scene with a boost to play...

Static noise with acoustic pickup

I think you've misread my original post. It isn't the piezo pickup that is having the noise issue - it is the magnetic/mic pickup. The piezo has no noise at all.

Static noise with acoustic pickup

Hey there - just wondering if anyone had some insight into this quirk I'm experiencing. I bought an X2 Double acoustic pickup off of Amazon. Surprisingly good for the price. It had a wireless receiver and through my acoustic patch on the FM9 I'm experiencing a lot of static noise. It sounds...

GIFT OF TONE 2023 #4 - Chris Baseford

Bump for this preset. Fired up the Revv scenes last night and holy smokes what a great, thick tone. Also wanted to bump for info on newer presets released by @cbaseford! I know there is a VH4 preset out there in my email inbox but is there any place where these live permanently? Found the JVM...

How do you structure your presets?

I like this approach - do you find it difficult to keep track of everything going on in one preset, and across multiple presets at all?
