Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:
Hello, hopefully a simple one, can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for the 8 step program?
really want to order one but not sure if i can fit it on me board.
5.75 x 4.75 x 2.5 (in.)
146 x 121 x 64 (mm)Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Could these be chained together? And get 16, 24 or 32 steps all in sync?Unfortunately no, 8-Steps cannot be chained for more steps.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThe 8-Step is not compatible with the Line 6 pedals we have tested (DL4 and MM4) and we can assume it is not compatible with any Line 6 gear.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorWe have found the 8-Step to be compatible with most gear from Boss/Roland, Moog, Nord and Eventide and is of course compatible with all EHX products. The pedals below have been tested and are known to be compatible with the 8-Step.
Quote:Hi,It could be beautiful if we have a “8 Step Program ” compatible devices list.
(despite the fact that virtually all stuff with a “foot cv pedal” or “expression pedal” as “roland ev-5” or other, is compatible…)EHX :
– HOG & HOG2 – harmonic octave generator – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Ring Thing – ring modulator – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Holy Stain – wonderful multi effect – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Riddle & Enigma : envelope filter – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Stereo Polyphase : Analog Optical Envelope/LFO Phase Shifter – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE – https://www.ehx.com/products/stereo-polyphase
– Deluxe Memory Man Tap Tempo 550 : Analog Delay – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE – https://www.ehx.com/products/deluxe-memory-man-tap-tempo-550
– Deluxe Memory Boy : Analog delay with tap tempo – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE – https://www.ehx.com/products/deluxe-memory-boy
– Memory Boy : Analog delay – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Ravish Sitar : Exotic pedal – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE – https://www.ehx.com/products/ravish
– Stereo Talking Machine – Vocal Formant Filter – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
– Tube EQ – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
Moog :
– Moogerfoogers – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE
Eventide :
– PitchFactor – pitch-changing – 8-STEP COMPATIBLE (Set Depth to 5 on 8-Step)
We assume that if the Pitch Factor is compatible the rest of the Eventide pedals are as well.thank you for sending proposals, ideas and tested or not tested stuff

I currently have a mission expression pedal that I use with it, and I know that I had to seek out a pedal specifically designed to be compatible with line 6 devices. No stores in town have one for me to experiment with yet, so if anyone knows the answer, I’d appreciate it.Thanks
Unfortunately the 8-STEP is not compatible with Line 6 pedals, at least we could not get it to work in our tests. We know it to be compatible with most Boss/Roland gear, Moog, EHX (of course), Nord and Eventide (set DEPTH to 5).

It is the same as the new bass micro SYNTH?Thanks!
It’s the same as the Bass Microsynth: 55 mA maximum.
September 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm in reply to: The What Is The Current Draw For That EHX Pedal Thread #118123Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThe current draw of the Nano Small Stone is 10mA.

Somebody say is 40 mA, is that correct?The maximum current draw of the Bass Microsynth is 55mA. Some settings will draw less, down to 45mA.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Thanks Flick, how should I go about sending it in?Oh yeah, good question. Email info@ehx.com or call (718) 937-8300 and ask for customer service. They will help you out.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorWe tried a couple of Cathedral’s and did not experience the volume from bypass to effect mode as you both described. There are certainly reverb sounds that you could create on the Cathedral that are lower in volume than the bypassed signal but if the BLEND knob is set fully counter-clockwise for 100%, the volume should not change between bypass and effect modes. It sounds like both of your units may have be malfunctioning. You can send it in for repair.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Would that be expensive/hard to fix ?You can send that in to be repaired. Contact info@ehx.com or call (718) 937-8300 and ask for customer service.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hey Flick,I just tested it on multiple channels and the volume drop was consistent whether the blend knob was fully dry or wet.
We’ll check this out today.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorAnother quick question for both you: is there a volume drop when the BLEND knob is set fully counter-clockwise, so that all you would hear is the DRY signal?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorCan you tell where you have the knobs set on the Cathedral?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorSomeone from Roland contacted us and we looked into this problem. I happened to have both an MC-505 and 2880 at home. Here is what we found:
In summary the 2880 and MC-505 don’t get along too well as far as MIDI Clock syncing goes. The MC-505’s MIDI Clock tempo is too erratic for the 2880 to properly follow it. I don’t know what version of the MC-505 software I have, for some reason when I tried to check the software version on power up, it wouldn’t work, it went straight to the first pattern.
Here are the tests I performed:
LISTENING TESTS
1. Connected the MIDI OUT from the MC-505 to the MIDI IN on the 2880. Set the MC-505 to output MIDI Clock. Enabled MIDI Clock on the 2880.
2. Attempted to record a loop on the 2880 with the MC-505 providing the tempo, it wouldn’t work, the 2880 would stop recording after a couple beats.
3. Instead I recorded a loop on the 2880 using its own internal clock, then I allowed it to sync to the MC-505’s MIDI Clock for playback of the loop. It seemed to work fine but then I started noticing that the speed of the 2880’s loop kept changing. The loop would go out of tune somewhat randomly. This is a sign that the MIDI Clock master’s tempo is changing.
4. I then took out my X0X B0X which has MIDI Clock out and connected it to the 2880. I was able to both record and playback loops on the 2880 using the X0X B0X as the MIDI Clock master. When I listened back to the loop with the X0X B0X as the MIDI Clock master, the speed of the loop did not waver at all.COMPUTER TESTS
1. I used Logic 7 to see the MIDI Clock reading in real-time.
2. First I connected the MC-505 to my computer and set its tempo to 130BPM. When I pressed play, and let the MC-505 play for four or five bars, I started observing the BPM read out in Logic. The MC-505 wavered from a maximum of 131.6 BOM to 129.5 BPM.
3. Then I changed the tempo on the MC-505 to 108 BPM and observed a range of 109.2 BPM to 107.0 BPM.
4. I connected the MIDI Out of the X0X B0X to the computer and observed its BPM range first at a tempo of 105 BPM. The hundredth digit was the only one to waver. So the range was 105.28 BPM to 105.21 BPM.
5. I turned the tempo up to around 130 BPM (the X0X B0X does not have a tempo read out, you have to guess). Again, only the hundredth digit wavered. The readings were 129.69 to 129.63.
6. I then connected the 2880’s MIDI output to the computer. First at a tempo of 131 BPM (the 2880 also does not have a tempo read out). The MIDI clock wavered from 131.8 BPM to 131.4 BPM.
7. Moving the tempo down on the 2880 to 110 BPM, the tempo wavered from 110.2 to 109.9. -
