Original Message 1/23 15-Mar-02 @ 12:59 PM - good multi-fx unit
I am fed up of the internal delay in my A3000 not allowing my to fine tune my delay times as it rounds them up to the nearest five.
Has anyone used these roland units or can anyone suggest anything similar?

choruses F-ing rock! The verbs are cool too -
very clubby sounding... the reverb needs to be
eq'ed seperately from the Direct sound... too
muddy for my tastes - but a great source of
verbs.
Also, the distortion section rocks AND the
programmable Gates rock my analog gear!
fantastic unit! :-)

and theyre not that expensive. I was thinking BUDGET, but pongoid's suggestion is just a small step up the scale, and well worth the extra $$$
you could still buy my VF-1 tho

The other multi-FX unit I liked was the TC M-one. I don't have one though, so I can't comment on how livable it is, just that it had some nice sounding FX

Incidentally, I also have an SRV-3030. It is a really excellent reverb for the money, but as others have mentioned, the chorus/flanger/etc are practically worthless afterthoughts intended to add flavor to the reverb rather than as a primary effect.

But they had a way of staying the coarse with those delays and reverbs. I could see them using the old stuff to keep a sound consistant. I like the oasys fx. They have a brightness and shimmer to them. Is'nt Pandoras box an fx unit? Since the wavestation they have always had this audio in to use them as fx units.

yeah..you can run through korg FX on some of their synths. true.

there´s really no need for sw editor IMO. the creation of fx is basicaly the same as that grid thingy in TC Spark where you drop in modules and draw in routings between them.
once you´re done inserting, you can edit each module from dedicated front panel buttons: there´s one for each type of effect in the unit, and the leds show you which ones are used in the preset. you can also bypass individual blocks using those buttons. and also, you get one asignable endless dial for realtime control, with a row of leds bellow showing you the current value.
you can control almost all (or probly all, cant remember anymore) parameters via CC´s, so attaching a knobby controler to a fireworks would be more than worthwhile.
the FX are simply SICK, and potential is practically enless. if i remember correctly, you can use up to 16(!) effect blocks in one preset.
btw, re. pc editing: there might be a SoundDiver module for it, worth checking out.
anyway, i think this unit is actually worth its huge price tag, since its pretty much unique in the market today. and you´ll never get bored of it with all the possibilities.
my 2p, M.
