Three features requests I would like to log:

1. Tap Tempo

External tap tempo using a footswitch. I would be fine using the expression pedal input to support this, or maybe the stereo input jack (like the feature on the standalone Flashback 2 you added previously). It would be good if this external tap tempo would control all pedals on the current board that support tempo (so all of them synched to the same tempo you tapped in). I know you have support for using the MASH button as tap tempo, but then I lose the MASH feature which is a huge loss.

2. Configure Pedal Display

It would be good if we could have a few options for the pedal display. Right now it shows:

• Top: the name of the effect name (eg. "Hypergravity") in medium font
• Middle: the type of effect type (eg. "Compressor") in large font
• Bottom: the toneprint name (eg. "PETE'S TONE ENHANCER") in small font
• Very Bottom: the author of the toneprint (eg. "TC ELECTRONIC) in small font

For my typical use pattern, it would be more helpful to know the toneprint name and author in larger font so it is more readable when playing (so I know what it is currently set to when I switch boards). The effect name and type are kind of implied by the colour, so it feels kind of a waste of that display real estate.

I don't know the best way to expose this in the UI, but even having a few options where you could choose between what info is large and what is small would be nice.

3. Linking Pedal Across Boards

I realize this might be a large change to the underlying data model in the firmware, and it might be confusing for some users, but it would be totally perfect for my use case (and potentially others).

I'd like the abililty to link pedals across boards. For example, if I had two boards, then in slot 5 of both pedals, I could have the same Reverb instance. Right now, I can put a Reverb in both boards in slot 5, but they are not linked. So if I change the toneprint on one and then switch boards, that change is not linked and that board's Reverb has its original tone print. Same with pedal on/off...if I turn the reverb on/off on one board, when I switch to the other board, it will retain its previous setting on that board.

Like I said, this is probably by design, as each board is considered an indepenant "scene", but the way I use it is to always have the last two pedals in all my boards be my Delay and Reverb, and then switch boards to change up the other pedals. So it would be nice to have them linked so when I'm playing, any changes to those Delay or Reverb pedals gets applied no matter what board I have selected.

Again, how do you design a UI to do this...that might be tricky. But it would be a very cool advanced feature to add!

Keep up the good work, this is a great product!

is there any info on the editor as i am having a great deal of trouble with simple things like moving a board to a location of my choice.

The board wont move nothing happens is there some some sort of set up command in settings that i am missing?i have a lot of fine editing that has been lost causing me many hours of problems.Ilove hte sounds but if i cant use it? please help

thank you Don Mackenzie

Is anyone else experiencing an issue where if you change the value of an effect in the Tone Print editor (say the delay time), when you save it (with the Plethora connected via USB), it reverts back to the original settings for the effect?

However, if you change it on the Plethora (and watch it change in the Tone Print editor) and save it, it is saved.

I am using the latest Tone Print software (4.4.03) and Plethora X5 Firmware (1.2.18) to the best of my knowledge.

It does this for every effect, change something, tweak away on the Tone Print editor and then BAM all your changes and tweaks gone.  Angry! :-)

HI all,

First, I am digging the X5.  Love being able to stack multiple reverbs and delays for incredible sounds.  However, I do have an issue when trying to add toneprints to a board.  When I use the app on my iPhone to send the toneprint to the X5, it displays the message that the toneprint was sent.  However, the toneprint does not show up on the board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, I loaded Mac Firmware fror Ditto + from TC Electronic site.

It will not install saying "not a verified developer"

what can I do to use the Firmware? I understand it is needed to import/export soundfiles from/to the Ditto +

thanks!

Hi,

I hope the next firmware will be soon, in beg march would be great, because after I receive another multi-effects linux engine to test and PX5 could suffer. without noticeable improvements (global tempo, ext clock sync, etc.).
I hope this new firmware will bring the feature I suggest :  for each board, all the pedals which use the exp pedal could display the % they use rather than a simple pedal picture.
To make it simple, let's say that the % should replace the picture as soon as the exp is pressed, but if you can read the exp position on board activation, it's better.

Concerning the Volume, the % should be displayed in the area where it is applied.

Please vote for this.

Thanks.

Hello,

This might come across as a dumb question, but can someone please tell me the original actual cabinets that the cab sim options on the X5 are supposed to be simulating?

I see the list of cab sims, but as a novice, I would love to know what style of cabs these are supposed to be simulating. 

Jose 30, Vintage, Creamy, 65, Greenery, Bluey, Golden?

Thanks!

Man, I’m having the worst time with a brand new Nova system. Right now, as I type, I’m looking at the new unit frozen on the startup screen. I’ve hard booted it several times, same thing. I like the box but I’m going to have to remove it from my board. I can’t depend on it. Even when I finish soundcheck and walk back out on stage to do the show, it freezes in the middle of a song!!! OMG!!! Sorry TC but I need a solid resolution or this thing becomes a boat anchor! Anyone else experience this? Any advice?
