It seems that if TC Electronic won't update their TC Near software, all users of Konnekt (and Impact Twin) audio interfaces are out of luck and won't be able to use their hardware with the upcoming version of macOS. If I'm not mistaken, macOS Catalina will support only 64-bit apps - and TC Near Control Panel is 32-bit
Is there any chance TC Electronic will update TC Near to support for 64-bit only operating systems? It would be a shame to have all those killer audio interfaces bricked...
I agree. but it seems they are not involved in this forum at all.
I think it's more for users, cause if you check most posts don't even get replies, sometimes if ure lucky a user will help you out but Tc's staff have not seen em around.

FilesHello, updated yesterday to OSX Catalina, my Impact Twin unfortunately does not work, I sent an email to the support, I hope to receive an email from the support, greetings
I own a Studio Konnekt 48 and I really love that interface. It is perfect for my recording needs, sounds great and has reasonable latencies.
It is a real shame, that TC Electronics don't support this fairly new product. In a time where everybody's talking about the environment and saving resources, it just doesn't seem right that I have to throw away a perfectly good (great actually...) audio interface, just because I wish to upgrade the software on my Mac.
Next time I buy an audio product I guess I will spend some time checking out the "end of life" policies of the manufaturer. The software support should last at least as long as the life expectancy of the hardware product.
I always thought of TC Electronics as a serious and trustworthy manufacturer, but this time you have really let me down...
I wonder if TC even exits anymore, after they have been ackquired by Behringer..
I have the same problem, luckily I was the Beta tester of Catalina and could be able to turn back to previous version. I can not use Catalina just because of this hardware and it is not acceptable.
TC please answer us with a solution.

CALLING ALL FLASHBACK 2 USERS!
Thanks to your extensive feedback, we have developed a new firmware update for the Flashback 2 and we are NOW SEARCHING FOR BETA TESTERS!
The update gives users the option of having TAP TEMPO as the secondary footswitch function and true stereo input instead of MASH.
After updating to firmware V1.2.00, you can toggle between MASH and TAP TEMPO as a global setting for your Flashback 2 in the TonePrint App.
Press and hold the footswitch for 1.5 seconds to activate TAP TEMPO control (power LED turns green), then tap the footswitch in sync with your desired tempo to adjust delay times accordingly.
When TAP TEMPO is selected from the TonePrint App the MASH LED will constantly flash to display 1/4 note tempo of the delays, even when the pedal is turned off so you can always tell if you're on time.
The firmware update also fixes a small bug regarding stereo summing in buffered bypass mode when using stereo output.
If you own a Flashback 2 and you'd like to help us beta test firmware V1.2.00, please contact us :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all, 1.2.00 firmware is now officially released and can be downloaded on the TC website:
https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Guitar/Stompboxes/FLASHBACK-2-DELAY/p/P0CKR/Downloads#googtrans(en|en)
Thanks for all the help and feedback. With best regards, Mike TC electronic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how you disable MASH switch to activate the TAP tempo feature on the new 1.2.00 firmware:
I own a TC Electronic Nova Delay and love the hold tap tempo feature where you can hold down the tap tempo button, play a rhythm and the pedal listens to the tempo you play and matches it. Will that feature be available on the Flashback 2?
Hi TC-James,...Just read about the FB2 firmware update that enables tap tempo in lieu of MASH. That's a great trade-off in my book, and I'd really like to be included in the beta-testing on this new firmware. What's the proceedure for getting involved? Thanks!

I'd like to try the firmware as well.
Hello
This is what I posted on Youtube and it was suggested I also post it here
Hope this helps

Hello, I received my Ditto + and the basic functions work fine as the older one. I have connected the Ditto + to my Mac using a USB cable and could see the Ditto + in my Finder. The folders are visible. I copied a track (MP3) to the folder 1, and other one to the folder 2 etc .. and then put the Ditto + to work ... Well, I see on the pedal that the loops 1,2 and 3 are working (the green cursor moves) but no sound is heard ! A normal loop with my guitar added as loop 4 works fine. Any idea ? Any help will be welcome.. Thank you
One day ago
I understood MP3 would not work so I moved to Wav (24 bits)
The Ditto + when connected to the Mac appears in the Finder as a HardDisk named DITTOPLUS. The content of the DITTOPLUS HD is 99 folders named 01track, 02track...through 99track. Inside the folders for each wave file (one only in each folder) you will see 2 files : one called BT.Wav and one called Loop.wav both are the same size which means that when you load a track it is duplicated inside the folder when you put the Ditto + back to work. When you create a loop with a guitar there is only one file created in the related folder. I tried to copy a loop I did with a guitar to an empty folder just to see what happens. Well it does not make any sound. TC Electronic will solve this in a new firmware I guess. It is a good company and they care for their customers. Let's hope this is solved soon.
By the way moving files in and out of the Ditto + works just fine on my iPad Pro using the file explorer of iOS. Still cannot hear the wav files I loved from my iPad to the Ditto + but I can see them.
So i have tried to submit a tickit and of course ( like many others i see) it didnt go through.I have tried to connect my FB2 to 2 different computers, a Mac Pro on 10.13.6 and a windows 10 PC and neither recognise the pedal. I am using a brand new cable from the box as well as a brand new cable from the Hall Of Fame 2 box to no avail. I have always just beamed toneprints to the pedal but cannot use the editor. I confirmed the latest firmware. Please help. This costumer service really has me second guessing my Begringer Poly D purchase i am about to make.......
Hi there,
I understand your frustration. Just to check a couple of things to get us started ... have you downloaded the latest version of the TonePrint Editor to your Mac and/or PC? The latest version is from last month, so fairly recent: https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Guitar/Apps/TONEPRINT-EDITOR/p/P0CLC/Downloads#googtrans(en|en)
Thanks, James.
I do have the most recent version .
Hi Brian,
OK. There's a few idiosyncracies with regards to the order in which you connect and start things. Please try this:
- The pedal needs to be connected first via USB cable, before opening the app. Then open the app and it should ask you to select a TonePrint slot. On doing this the app should then recognize the pedal. If that doesn't work it'll usually help to reboot the computer or startting the process from the beginning.
This little video might be helpful for you

yeah this is kinda annoying. I finally got my Flashback 2 to connect and now my HOF 2 is not responding
Using the same approach?
Thanks, James.
So, while waiting on the Plethora X5 to reach the States I've been trying to learn about it and help other users on the boards here. One thing I've seen a lot are questions regarding how to connect it, can I do X with it, how do I put this pedal here in the chain, and so on. So, I thought it would be a fun and helpful exercise to share your Plethora X5 setups, signal chains, midi control setups and exeriences so that we can help one another find great and possibly new setup options utilizing the new hardware.
For me, I ended up selling several pedals and building a new (and much needed) pedalboard to prepare for the Plethora. I am replacing a Whammy-style pedal near the front of my chain, as well as my Hall of Fame 2, Flashback 2 and chorus pedals in the FX loop.
Since I need the Plethora effects both before and after the amp and I'm integrating drives after the Plethora front end effects, I'm going with what I'd call the modified 4 cable method. Several people have asked about the ability to do this, so I'll outline it here.
Guitar --> Tuner --> Boost/Low gain drive --> Plethora mono input
Plethora Insert Send --> Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz pedals --> Amp input
Amp FX send --> Plethora Insert Return
Plethora Output --> Amp FX return (plus Amp 2 input if stereo)
This setup allows a lot of versatility. You can put the Plethora loop anywhere in the chain, meaning I can put all of my Plethora effects in front of the amp, all of them in the FX loop, or any combination in between. I just have to move the insert location in the pedal order.
Now, there is one caveat to this setup, and that's you can't use the Plethora insert as a switchable "pedal." It has to be used as always on. If you switch it off you kill the signal to your amp. It's also key to know that any effects used prior to the insert loop will be summed to mono, so if you need stereo output, keep those effects after the insert return in your chain.
In this setup my main application is to have the same function of my pitch shifter up front and the chorus, delay, reverb and other modulation in the amp FX loop. But what this adds is the ability to integrate the other TC pedals I've wanted to try, like the Mimiq and Quintessence. I'm also interested int he Sentry to quiet down my fuzz pedal noise. And with this setup I can use those and place them anywhere in the chain easily for testing and tweaking.
So, what are your setups? What have you found that works great? Any best practices?
@TouringBubble hey Man I am building my first pedalboard to be used with a wah, whammy and a pair of overdrives into my Marshall JVM amp. I really have my eyes on the Plethora X5 but I have a question, I've only used my amp with a boss od in front (sounds great) and i also tried my Headrush pedalboard just for fx with the 4 cable method. The Headrush Is not true bypass so the sound I enjoy so much from my amp with just the boss od in front Is not as good as when I use the Headrush with the 4cm. Am I going to have the same scenario with the Plethora or it Will not mess my amp Tone?
@Manu2004 That's not a simple question, sadly, but let me see if I can help.
First, I don't think true bypass is the issue here. Your Boss pedal isn't true bypass, so the Headrush not being true bypass shouldn't matter.
The main difference between the Headrush and the Plethora is that the Plethora isn't an amp modeler and the Headrush is. This means that the Plethora is designed to be used like a row of 5 TC pedals in front of an amp, and not as a replacement for your amp. It has cab simulation and can do this, but it's not the primary function as designed as far as I can tell.
Chances are that you were using the amp modeling in the Headrush which heavily colored the sound of your amplifier. I've found this with multieffects I've used in the past. It's a learning curve for sure.
@TouringBubble thank you for the response! I disabled the amo and cab sim on the Headrush, i was most a matter of feel, the guitar felt different while running the Headrush in 4cm than just the guitar in front of the amp. It feels like a small (very small) latency.
Anyway I appreciate your help.
I'm pretty confused by your modified 4 cable method. I haven't received my plethora but this is how I was planning to set it up.
Bass->DB Compressor->DB booster->DG Alpha Omega into the front of the amp. Then connect my amps stereo effects loop send into both stereo inputs in plethora, and return both outputs into my amp.
I would not really need anything in the plethora infront of the Amp maybe just the noise gate, and I don't think I need any of my DG pedals in my effects loop, although I would like to split my stereo signal dry / wet-dry if somehow. Am I missing out by not using the effect loop in the plethora? Is it possible to put a pedal in the plethora effects loop that I could select to only go to cab? Or one said of the stereo? I'm sorry effect loops are very new to me THANKS!
I have tried 2 setups ..... both working with help from Matt
1: Plethora in the loop ..... everything in the loop and no possibility to get some effects from the Plethora in front of the amp.
2: Plethora with the 4 cable method ..... you can define with the FXloop insert from the Plethora where the split is ..... which effect in front and which in the loop
I have some effect in front of my amp ..... a Preamp valve distortion pedal (Victory Kraken) connected to the amp with the 4 cable method ...... the Plethora also connected with the 4CM so i can choose which effect goes in front or in the loop.
In the Plethora i have a Noise Gate in front ...... Flanger, Chorus, Delay with footswitch for delay time and Reverb in the loop (Soft FX loop insert from the X5 btween 1 & 2)

Having a great time with my new board. Quick question: I was under the impression a standard power supply such as my voodoo should power this. Am I wrong? My voodoo powers all other TCE pedals, but not this one. I have had to use the power supply that came with the unit.
Hello,
The PLETHORAX5 requires a minimum of 600mA to operate. Power supplies like the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 3 have dc taps that are 500mA each which would fall short.
Ah, well explained. That's unfortunate for me. Thanks.
Guys, it's over two months since you launched the Ditto Plus and there is still no user manual, just a minimal Quick Start Guide that doesn't contain much information. We need a proper manual, not least because Extended mode seems to be tricky.
I am still trying to find out how to get the Ditto+ to do what I want in Extended mode.
This is my guess after failing many, many times to make Extended mode work the way it should. At one stage I was going to send the Ditto+ back for a refund. Am I right -- is Extended mode supposed to work this way? Can we have a user manual please? The functionality of the footswitch in Extended mode is not intuitive, and as a minimum it needs to be explained properly in a user manual.
Hi there,
I just received the Ditto+ looper, purchased in France.
Its base firmware is 1.4 (as displayed when the pedal boots)
I would like to get confirmation on how extend mode works:
I thought that the extend mode allowed to lengthen a basic loop. For example to go from 3 beats to 4 beats. or go from 2 measures to 4 measures. Or, add a chorus after a verse.
There I feel like the base loop can't be extended, but it's the overdub that can be extended to be longer than the base loop. So if I have a basic loop that is 4 bars, I can do an overdub solo that lasts for example 4 x the 4 bars of loop 1. And my overdub will not be cut off.
Is it this last feature that is implemented? or is there a way to make my first idea (probably wrong :))
Message to TC Electronic: I find it shameful that there is no user manual worthy of the name, and complete. AND that we have to rely on Anderton's videos (very good store and site, be it by the way, thanks to them), for details on extend mode.

Hi,
First of all, eexcuse my bad english
I need to know if my Studio Konnekt 48 is ok whtith Mojave ( Mac OS 10.14 ). I heard it's still 32bit compatible ? I have High Sierra ( Mac Os 10.13.6 ) et i need to upgrade to Mojave, OS minimum for last Logic Pro X ( 10.5 ).
Thank's.
Fhell, your TC Electronic customer.
Hi Fhell,
Thanks for being a TC Electronic customer!
Your Studio Konnekt 48 will work just fine in macOS Mojave.
If You, later on, would like to upgrade to macOS Catalina, the TC Near control panel and the mixer doesn't support 64bit, but You will still be able to use the inputs and outputs of the Studio Konnekt 48
All the best and stay safe from
Claus
Hi guy
I just got my plethora X5 today. I have a feeling I have got it early than supposed to but I am just wondering how do we know the unit is on the latest firwmare version and where are firmware updates done. Are they done via the app or do we need to download the firmware under thep product support and update using the toneprint editor? I do not see any firmware on the support site so I am just wondering as I want to make sure I am on the newest version
Thanks
Jake
Glad to see another early owner - feel rather lonely doesnt it! I got mine yesterday and was wondring the exact same thing - from looking on the message boards today it seems that current firmware and next 1.1 is due next week.
How are you finding it so far ? Im thinking of returning mine as cant get on board (pardon the pun ) with having to use the app to do the majority of editing/stuff
Hi!
I got mine today and I really like it so far... I saw in their Q&A video that a tuner has been added but I can't activate that so I'm guessing I'm on an older firmware. I can see tha firmware version in the app but do I need to connect to the computer to update via usb?
Ich habe das gleich Problem mit dem Tuner. Bekomme ihn nicht aktiviert.
i have the same Problem with the Tuner.
Hi received my device today as well. Would be great to have some advice on the tuner issue. I don't know how to activate it. And hard to believe... is there really no full manual available? I can only find a "quick start guide". So far I'm not as exited as I expected. And there is no Phaser-effect?
Hi!
I've received mine today! Very excited but… it freezes all the time and I can't even switch between pedals ¿has anyone the same problem? I'm hoping it's a software issue. However, there's no firmware update anywhere.
I'm about to return it ?
