    Ambient guitar | DJ and Production
    It's great to see the TC Forums up and running. I hope that this forum will eventually replace the one on the gear page.

    Just to kick things off:

    Has anyone been making patches for more etheral, ambient guitar sounds, i.e., Robert Fripp type effects? If so, how are you doing it??

    Looking forward to the editor where we can actually send patches to each other. I have a few that others might be interested in but it's tedious to type in all of the parameters....

      gbtommasi I did it:



      now i have not got parameters values here, but basically it is how it works for me:



      - serial routing

      - intelligent pitch shifting, an octave up, then you could add a fifth, or a fourth up for a more complex harmony. No dry signal (100% wet, that is, only harmony out);

      - dual delays, with feedback controlled by expression pedal and no dry signal out (100% wet);

      - long hall reverb, with no dry signal (100% wet);



      then, you control how long the sound will last with expression pedal (more delay feedback). And of course you sweep effect in and out with volume pedal (placed in the 'in' position)



      caution, then, because setting hi feedback levels, especially on 100% wet chain, will cause signal clipping very easily and unwanted 'infinite' feedback which will destroy your hears



      it works pretty nice, though is not comparable with those famous eventide crystal effect.



      hope this helps

      ny10547 Any chance you could at least post some dual delay settings for your ambient sound. That is the delay I have a lot of trouble with. I think I can muddle through the rest.



      I hope TC can do some updates that will give more ambient sounds like the Eventide and the AxeFX. Not sure if it is possible....just a dream.



      Thanks for the post.

      gbtommasi yep i will write delay parameters down next time i go to my rehersal studio, where the g-system lies



      today or tomorrow.



      Of course, you may find there are better ways to do this, and also maybe improve my settings.



      In this case, please let us all know

      gbtommasi well delays are just set in a very random way, it's about 1100 ms on right channel and 800 on left. But you can really experiemet what suits you better..

      jpleong I use the Konnekt in stand alone mode as either a 1) live mixer for my singer-songwriter act, 2) D/A converter for my CD player in the studio (computer off), or 3) as a standalone mic preamp and A/D converter for recording classical music on location with an M-Audio Microtrack recording via s/pdif.

      skyaflya JP,

      Thanks for the info. Looks like stand-alone is unique to the 24D. I can't find any mention of it in the Studio 48 or K Live pages.

      jpleong It takes some careful reading, but it's there (at least for the Studio Konnekt 48)...

      http://www.tcelectronic.com/Default.asp?Id=12372



      Two paragraphs down, under 24/8 channel digital mixer with 48-bit double precision summing it says, "The mixer runs on the DSPs of Studio Konnekt, and can therefore be used at all times; if your host application is not running or even if the computer is shut down."



      Since the Konnekt Live is, basically, a souped-up 24D, it should have the same functionality.



      You setup beforehand and save to one of three DSP preset states (common to the Konnekt 24D, Live, and Studio -the Digital x32 allows four).



      Hope that helps,

      JP

    Thank You TC | Streaming and Podcasting
    Having just jumped ship from the no-heaven forum (the captain went overboard and we got taken over by rats + pirates),
    may I extend a warm greeting to the forum moderators here & a little wave to all my fellow (ex) no-heaven-ites.

    I sure am glad that I can relax and enjoy the forum now, without having to delete page after page of absolute drivel every-time I login.

    So thank you TC for building an official forum. Let's hope that this will prove as helpful and friendly as the no-heaven site has been in the past.

    question on the controls | DJ and Production
    hey everyone...well, at least once folks get word of this forum!

    I picked up a G-Major off eBay and noticed that its ring controls were not working right. They wouldn't go sequentially thru their lists, they'd jump around acting like a dirty pot. I spent sometime working them back and forth and they improved to near perfect. My question is, can I go in there and hit them with some electronics cleaner to remove any grit or grime or are they not like a typical POT type of control? It's in my rack and I figured I'd wait to open it up till I need to but figured I'd ask now before it's absolutely needed and time to panic.



    kudos to t.c. electronic for creating this forum!! It'll be a great way to connect with other users!!

      jakejoseph I have the same problem. I switched from playing guitar to playing bass about a year ago and left the G-Major sitting - now the rotary controls are doing exactly the same thing Dtown described.



      Any wisdom on this TC?

      Erock Ther is a yahoo group for the G major, in the files section they have the fix for that. You have to take it apart and clean the dials. It is a common problem.

      • November 22, 2007
    • rjino
      SamLord I'm having dropouts on the x32-to-laptop connection via firewire. I'm sure my clocking is right. I called ADK about the windows FW registry hot fix, and they said that with one device connected it always loads correctly. Besides, the dropouts happen with only 2 channels. Also at times I get extreme noise with the signal. I wonder if the little FW 800 connector on my laptop is the culprit, but it has been babyed and seems fine. I've searched this forum quite a bit already. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Firewire card chipsets and the Konnekt series | Streaming and Podcasting
    Hi everybody

    I have a Studio Konnekt 48 on order, and have been reading some issues regarding certain firewire chipsets being problematic with the Konnekt series, specifically NEC firewire chipsets. I want to install a PCI card so I have a separate firewire bus for the Konnekt 48, keeping my Powermac G5's firewire bus open for multiple hard drives. I've heard that I should be looking for a firewire card with a TI firewire chipset. Is there any truth to that? Or can anyone confirm the NEC chipsets are in fact problematic?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Free

    Loop Sends | DJ and Production
    All four loops are constantly sending signal, which is cool for running 3 way set-ups, but I would like to use some external analog delays and reverbs. With the loops set-up this way, the moment I turn on the loop, I hear the trails from the notes I played before the loop was engaged. Is there any way to change this option? It would really help me out.

    Thanks

      tore That's a very good point, but I'm afraid that it would require a hardware change as the entire loop section is 100% analog.



      We might be able turn off all the loops by cutting the signal right before the loop section - before it get's converted to analog, but then you wouldn't be able to use any of the loops at all.
      • November 16, 2007
    • chrisby007
      fatdog (I know this is an oldie)



      Maybe 2 remote triggered AB switches might work?



      i.e. Set up a bypass loop ( -AB=BA- ) for the delay, and use the relay switching on the G-system to turn on both switches at the same time the patch is activated.



      So the delay unit only gets input signal the instant that the patch is selected.
