I had a feeling this pedal was capable of A LOT; you helped confirm for me just how underrated and capable Ultrawave is-I have much more to try with mine, now that I recently got one! Thanks.
I was going to ask Source audio for such kind of videos which is : "how to design sounds? Are there best practices etc." I have an ultrawave and see how powerfull it is. Nevertheless I ain't a sound designer so I feel I spent way too much time discovering with not always very satisfying results. Presets help but real "how to design a great fuzz, overdrive or anything" tutorials would be helpful for the non profesionnal guitarist like me. So thanks a lot for that and hope to have some drive advices too! Also the user interface should offer the possibility to design a sound from scratch. Did not find this myself. Keep up the great work.
I find it useful to have an "INIT" preset, which is a blank slate with everything turned off. Then you always have a starting point where you can start to turn stuff on. When I have a few minutes I might publish mine if one is not already published. I'll think about doing a tutorial on the rest of the stuff as well and keep your idea in mind.
Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to start the tremolo on the note attack, or to decide on the time location...... Ok we can give the right speed, but without being able to decide the position of the waveform..... If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it!
I've just published the majority of these to the Cloud. Any of the panning ones, you'll need to be running stereo outputs to utilize, the others can be run in mono.
Vertigo was one of the first SA pedals in the One series to come out, and thus didn't have a ton of control options. Ultrawave, I think I've demonstrated in this video is superior to the Vertigo in regards to trem, but it is not as simple as the Vertigo. In regards to distortion territory, Multiband distortion in addition to Morphing (which was not offered on the LA) takes the possibilities to whole new levels. Vertigo & LA cover your run of the mill bread and butter Trem and Distortion. Ultrawave very much goes beyond that. I'd suggest listening to some of the other demo's i've done that give an idea of presets people have created with the Ultrawave. It's capable of normal, but it can get very far into left field. Whether any of that is for you or not, all personal taste. If you like experimentation, the Ultrawave is awesome. If you just like normal run of the mill trem/distortion that is familiar, then you aren't missing a lot without this pedal.
Awesome video man! Very helpful! How about Env to Volume, you mentioned you will cover that, but maybe I missed it? And then MIDI clock sync capabilities? :)
Envelope tied to volume is in the "Volume Swell" section and subsequent sections after. I probably didn't hit that super well. If you want to affect speed of the tremolo by the volume, then you'd use the "Env -> Rate" in the LFO section, either left or right of noon depending on if you want it to go slower or faster depending how hard you pick. If you just want an envelope to control your volume, then you select a destination for "Envelope to Volume" from the "Single Tremolo/Envelope" block. Then under the Envelope Generator block, you control the onset time of that swell with Attack. If you want to mix a swell along with the tremolo, then you just turn up either "Pre Dist Depth" or "Post Dist Depth" in the "Single Tremolo/Envelope" section. You can sync the LFO to Midi clock by clicking "Sync to Midi Clock" in the LFO section. That button toggles the sync on or off.
@@TriPedalReviews thanks for the reply! And if its synced to midi, can I switch between different time divisions by the rate knob maybe? Or it will be locked to the incoming tempo, and thats it?
@@martinaleksandrov7080 You can set your Tap Tempo division per preset (whole,half,quarter, eighth,triplet,sixteenth), but it doesn't look like you can assign it to a knob. That'd be handy though.
@@TriPedalReviews thanks, i just noticed its a falling menu, yea! :D It would be also great if one can assign the alternative knobs to different functions than BASS & MID
Thanks for the video! Still can't understand what can I do with no freaking computer. How many presets I can use with a pedal just like an usual pedal?
You can access 6 presets from just the stand alone pedal. In my opinion however, if you NEVER plan on hooking it to a computer, then it almost isn't worth getting. Even if you hook it up to just browse other users presets and replace the ones on there currently with stuff you like. If you never do that, the pedal is severely limited in use as you wont ever touch half of what's available on it.
I never uploaded them aside from the Harmonic Trem one. I've just uploaded them, if you check again they should be up. Any of the stereo ones that utilize panning, you'll need to be running a stereo rig to utilize. The others can be run in mono.
