Fractal Audio Systems VP4 - Virtual Pedalboard

[yek]

Quick question about Gig Mode:

If I'm trying to switch to Scenes from Preset mode, when I press switches 1+2 together and get the screen that shows the flashing "Presets-Scenes-Effects-Tuner "options, it only shows those flashing options for a split second and then defaults back to the preset I am on, with no time to select anything. However, if I then press 1+2 a second time, the flashing options will keep flashing until I select one of the options.

Is this normal? It's barely enough time to select Scenes before it quickly goes back to the preset and is super annoying at gigs.

Thanks.

Nope, that’s not normal. Maybe a stuck switch. Ask Support.

Thanks. I guess it would be an issue with switch 2?

I am just about to hit the one year mark since buying it, so should be under warranty. (Has been happening for a while, though.)

Really don’t want to deal with shipping it back, etc.

What doesn’t make sense to me is why it works the second time you try, though…

I had a thought and haven't yet thought this through super deep:

Is it possible to run a different mono signal to L and R inputs in stereo mode and then route those signals to e.g. two different reverb or delay blocks that are routed in parallel? And thus have a dedicated effect for each signal.

This could work in some situations in my setup to basically have two signal paths

It doesn't seem like Axe IV would be a "reason" to move to Shopify as he said. Maybe I'm wrong. But it feels like it's more related to something with the buying experience.

Maybe they're announcing direct sales in more regions. Shopify does make international sales way more easy.

Yeah that's what I expect as well.

I'm up for anything that helps push Fractal prices down in the EU. They are a tough sell when a QC is 200 € more than a FM3, and a FM9 is 770 € more than the QC. I picked the QC here only because its pricing is in line with other current flagship modelers, Line6 Helix is way less.

There's another reason that I can't talk about but it's a pretty big deal.

OMG!!!!!!!

 

[Mongillo19]

OMG!!!!!!!

Oh no

I can't wait to see what imaginary fractal product you start spouting to the masses. I remember when the VP4 had a touchscreen and mobile editor according to you

Interesting times ahead.

Depends how much you value signal to noise!!

It will, at some point, the interface is clearly heading for a touch interaction!

So the idea is you keep repeating an idea enough your are destined to be right eventually
