Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

I was there at the gangbang, but no... you're probably right..... maybe..... who knows......

10 points to Fleshlightdor for the use of a Skeletor gif.

I’m kind of surprised there aren’t more block limitations. You can have two reverb blocks and two delay blocks loaded, so you could theoretically have FS access to 8 reverbs and 8 delays to mix, match, and stack from one preset. Add a Plex delay in for one of them and it has monster ambient pedal potential.

yeah, add a midi controller and you're set!

Actually one of these in one of the Helix Floor loops would make a lot of sense too! I love these utility pedals... so many ways you can....


...

.... utilise them.

4 blocks, (Delay, Reverb, Drive, Chorus, Pitch, Flanger etc) with 4 channels in each block. (So each block can have four distinct models of that type loaded as channels etc)

So for ex.

4 delays
4 reverbs
4 plex
4 pitch

One of each block (4 total) running simultaneously.

Gotcha. Thanks. That's what I needed. I can definitely see a few different use cases. Not for me, but I can easily see it.

Sterlacci getting the launch location wrong

Dude, he keeps deleting comments correcting it, and I'm IN THE FUCKING SCREENSHOT.

 

[paisleywookiee]

I see you, @Orvillain. I SEE YOU.

 

[Orvillain]

I see you, @Orvillain. I SEE YOU.

ahahahahahahahaah

So if I'm reading the manual correctly I can have the VP4 send midi commands to my JVM when I change presets. That means I could ditch the jvm foot controller and control everything from the VP4.

Has anyone read the midi stuff and know if that's correct?

Yeah I think that is exactly right. It transmits PC messages, so you can change the channel on your amp easily.

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Yeah ...I just made a no no.

This honestly seems perfect for my set up. Need to sell a few pedals now to free up some funds to get one.

To me it's extremely vague about what it can do with MIDI PC. There seems to be no indications on what PC number it will send for preset changes.

To me the VP4 seems better suited to being the last MIDI controllable device in a chain as it does not transmit MIDI clock for example.

Steve is going full YTer lately.....and not in a good way

It reads to me like it will transmit a PC according to the current preset; so preset 1 == PC00, preset 2 == PC01, etc etc.

Which for a JVM, is fine. Just program the JVM in accordance.

I'll wait till the official release and then ask.

 

[spawnofthesith]

It can't transmit midi clock?

I can’t wait for @JiveTurkey to buy one and post his gear pic with the entire fractal family

4 reverbs

Only two reverbs per patch, right?

Odd that the the inputs cannot support a two or three button switch. Expression should have a TRS connector and this is a common setup.

Surprising that the Reverb is mono in, stereo out.
