The Duplicate function has worked a couple of times for a few minutes, then won’t work at all most of the time. It’s completely unpredictable, but mostly doesn’t work. See my thoughts below on this crippled function.

I have calibrated my Yamaha FC7 pedal several times. I actually got it to work for about 2 minutes before it spontaneously stopped working. When it was working the software scaling for the exp pedal did absolutely nothing, also the short time it worked the values went from 1-100 in the first tiny 10-20% of pedal travel, making it useless, even if it did work. Sometimes in the editor the dot with the circle is stuck at the top position and can’t be moved, sometimes it can, but it doesn’t end up having any effect at all in any case. I have used an exp pedal for years with various Strymon, Helix, Eventide etc units and now I can’t use one at all. Super disappointing.

On multiple  occasions a pedal slot would spontaneously change parameters when I was doing nothing but playing guitar. E.G. - a fast flanger warble spontaneously slowed way down to a slow flange. This has happened on different pedals and always while I’m not touching any controls, just playing guitar. this has happened 4 or 5 times and every time while I’m not touching any control, switch, pedal, etc - just playing.

Once when adding a compressor to an empty slot the Plethora freaked out with all the lights flashing and acted like it was booting up over and over. It took 3 power cycles to get it to stop. Yes, I’m using the factory supplied AC adapter.

Mimiq seems completely unsupported. The Plethora is always more wonky with Mimiq involved and the software doesn’t recognize it at all. 

Thoughts on the half-baked Duplicate function:

The Duplicate function would be infinitely more usable if you could select the board slot you’re duplicating to - in other words a simple copy and paste function. Say I want to copy board 22 to slot 54 - the way it is now, I have to Duplicate on the Plethora (works maybe 30-40% of the time) which places the copy in whatever slot happens to be open, then switch to the software to drag it to where i want it to be. I also have to delete or move a board to “make room” for the copied board. So many steps to do something that should be trivial. All that would have to be done, would be to make the board switch active to select the slot to duplicate to, or overwrite.

I've been using Finalizer for a few weeks and have done a few released Masters. Nice, transparent processing and intuitive UI. I just wish it did one more thing: EQ matching. Extremely useful for album work to use as a starting point. The only reason IMO to use O9 would be for that purpose.

Hi - do we know when Polytune Clip will be available again in the UK - I know there were some supplier probelms back in July?

I need a new tuner and would rather wait to get what appears to be the best than settle for a lesser device if they will be available soon :-)

Will there be both black and white models avaialble when they are back on sale?

Many thanks!

Are there any plans to allow external footswitches to be utilized? I connected my little 2 button switch i use with the Line 6 HX Stomp, (on that unit I use one button for tuner and one for tap tempo) just for fun, into the expression jack. Didn't show up in Toneprint editor as an assignable option of course :/
ANYHOO, I presume this is something everyone would want.

Hi everyone,

My plethora X5 ( 2 weeks old ) is starting get a lot of friction on footswitch No5.
The edge of the footswitch shaft gets friction from the footswitch hole's wall.
It would not be problem but sometimes the effect does not turn on.
I have to watch it.

What is the solution for this? Should we use a drop of machine oil?
Or will it go to the motherboard inside?

I already do not trust FSW No5 since sımetimes it does not turn on the effect.
I rarely use mash since I have not discovered its capibilities yet.
I wa planning on it thoug?

Any solutions?
