The Future Impact V4 and V4 VIP are already incredibly versatile bass synth pedals –designed for players rather than programmers. The V4.5 upgrade offers even greater value while retaining the same simplicity of operation. Some of the new features include:
โข 99 DX7 FM song-ready presets have been added to the existing 99 Virtual Analogue presets library
โข Setlist Mode to easily program a performance list without a computer
โข Zero Latency has been added as a third mode to the existing Speed and Accuracy modes
The FM library draws heavily from iconic โ80s and โ90s recordings made with the Yamaha DX7 bass: “Take on Me,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Take My Breath Away,” “Broken Wings,” and many more. There are also funky bass, smooth bass, double bass, Stratocaster emulation, and a selection of classic DX7 sounds โchurch organ, tubular bells, pan pipe, and harmonica, to name a few.
You can also explore the tens of thousands of other FM patches out in the world and upload them using the 4.5 Editor software for Windows or Mac. The only caveat is to not to get too lost down that rabbit trail!
While fully loaded with presets galore, you can still add and edit your own so youโre not locked into someone elseโs palette choices.
In addition to producing synthesizer sounds such as basses, leads and pads, the Future Impact can also function as an octaver, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, envelope filter, traditional wah-wah, tremolo, reverb, etc. Plus thereโs a built-in tuner. With so much functionality, you can potentially replace an entire pedalboard of dedicated single-effect pedals.
The Future Impact is brought to you by Andras Szalay, the original designer of the legendary Akai Deep Impact pedal. It is the worldโs fastest and most reliable tracking platform for professionals and hobbyists alike.
