Members Den Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 Personally, I think the iPB-10 is way cool right now. I would appreciate just a few feature upgrades mentioned previously on this thread ... tap tempo for sure, a more powerful EQ, the ability to stack OD/Dist pedals, a built-in looper and some control over the wah perameters to name a few. I'm hoping these are the kinds of things that come in the next firmware upgrade. Thanks DigiTech for this awesome piece of gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree as well, and firmware upgrades are of course the near term priority and will be most welcome. I was just a planting a few seeds for the future re possible h/w upgrades/add-ons - some may be feasible. some foolish, but thats what creative brainstroming is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about the giant leap of faith Apple took to make the commitment to the iPad in the first place! There wasn't much in the way of empirical evidence to support the massive adoption of a tablet computer. And yet, about two years later, more than 50 million people have spent some serious dollars to jump on board. I respect DigiTech for taking a similar leap in testing the market with an innovative product like the iPB-10. The fact that so many traditionalists write it off immediately as a "fail" (hate that term), is probably a good indicator that this is on the right track.

Members MediaMan09 Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 The more I use the ipb-10 the more I love it. Really good purchase. For quick reference, I cobbled toghther a handy (for me) 8 x 10 (PDF) TONE MATRIX CHEAT SHEET to show/remind me of the one hundred (20 x5) tones at once. Found this ideal for use with no ipad or PC is around. Got a copy single-folded in the tray! It's curerntly based on the factory preset names/positions but of its course easily updatable.

Best guess is it has to do with either the total amperage of power available to the ipb-10 (I have many things powered by the strip that powers it)..or...the battery charge level of the iPad when I plug the cable in.

Members MediaMan09 Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 For those who like to keep the ipad off the floor when using the ipb-10, does any one make this : A docking stand with a a rear dock port (for connection to ipb) ; like the basic apple dock ipad slides on over the front connector ; like the basic apple dock unit is rotatable, as needed for NEXUS, while still keeping the wired dock connection. This would be deal for ipb use - no messing with cables - just slide in the ipad and rotate I have seen a few that were close, but not quite. Ahem , another great future DigiTech accessory UPDATE: One that "might" work is the PadDock10: http://www.pdstand.com/overview.htm It has a rear mini USB port (which manual says can be used with iTunes to sync), so I assume it would also work with the ipb-10 with a suitable mini usb-to-dock cable. My crude concept pic is below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mck Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have been a happy user of this case/keyboard for my iPad 1... http://adonit.net/product/writer2-plus/ I use this to prop the iPad on the desk in my home studio and it works well with the cable with the occasional charging issue mentioned above. I'm more than likely to get an iPad 3 soon with the release and dedicate the iPad 1 to live in the ipb-10 forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Den Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I use a simple Yooboo leather case from Amazon that props up the ipad on my desktop at an angle, making it easy to work with. It takes only a second or two to connect the cable, so very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg H Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi I am brand new to this forum. I just got my iPB-10 & must admit that I am very pleased after spending a few hours tweaking patches. I have a lot of gear including an Axe-FX 2 & the iPB-10 sounds remarkably good. I would like to add to the wish list for future upgrades. 1. Add the ability to assign multiple items to be controlled by the expression pedal. Like amp gain, amp level, delay repeats, delay level etc. 2. Add the ability to drag multiple effects onto one of the 5 switches instead of just one. For example having one switch turn on/off chorus, delay, compression. 3. Explain how exactly how to make the 2 LFO's work. I tried last night without any luck. Exact settings to make them work would help. 4. Enable either a looper or the ability to record a dry guitar part to be played back through the iPB-10 to re-amp & tweak/try different effects. That elliminates hitting a chord, making adjustment, & hitting chord again. Thanks to everyone on this site. The information has been invaluable.

Members MediaMan09 Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 Re=phrased Question. Suppose I take a copy of Recto and a copy of Smooth Jazz- Under the My Tones-Assign tab, I see my currently assigned 100 tones (at this stage they are all factory presets)- Under the My Tones-Factory, I see the factory presets only ( no copies)- Under the My Tones-Library, I see 102 tones, 100 assinned, and 2 copies not assigned.All good.QUESTIONS Under the My Tones-Factory, why do I see no entries under Assign for each of entires. They are in fact all assigned, and the other two tabs have this column populated. Does Assing here really mean Manually Assigned? When I manually assign via the Factory tab ( eg assign Recto to B1/P1), only then do I see 1:1 in the Factory tab. After assiging Recyo to 1:1 from the Factory tab , I see the digitech icon in the Assigned tab for 1:1. But I see no Assign entries under My Library tab for Recto or fro Recto Copy. Why is that? When I do firmware upgrade, does it lose or keep my new tones and new assignments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MediaMan09 Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 Suggestion 1 - Bank vs Position scrolling Currently, a user can use the up/down buttons to cycle thru BANKS, ie UP: 18 > 19 > 20 > 1 > 2 > etc. DOWN: 2 > 1 > 20 > 19 > 18 > etcIs it possible to have a user config option (and/or a hardware mode - ie hold button X) , where one can choose between BANK SCROLLING and POSITION SCROLLING? The latter would allow the user to use the up/down button to cycle thru bank positions, ie UP: 18:3 > 18:4 > 18:5> 19:1 > 19:2 > etc. DOWN: 19:2 > 19:1 > 18:5 > 18:4 > 18:3 > etcSuggestion 2 - Favorites Scrolling Could we have the ability in NEXUS to tag assigned positions as favorites, and scroll thru those? Suppose I have 6 favorites, 5:4, 10:1, 12:3, 14:1, 19:1, and 20:3 It would be great to put the ipb in favorites mode ( ie hold down button X) at which point the user could use the up/down button to cycle thru favorites, ie UP: 5:4 > 10:1 > 12:3 > 14:1 > 19:1 > 20:3 > 5:4 > 10:1 > etc DOWN: 10:1 > 5:4 > 20:3 > 19:1 > 14:1 > 12:3 > 10:1 > 5:4 > etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you want when doing a gig for which you've got a preset per tune, arranged in setlist order. Now, just to complicate things, I'd like to always be able to see what the next preset is, before selecting it, so I can prepare toward the end of each song (oh, I'm going to have to retune, or swap guitars, etc.). This implies that maybe the currently selected preset would be #3 in this mode. And as it stands, when you push UP or DOWN to change banks, there's a pretty short time during which you've got to press 1-5 before the bank change "gives up" and reverts. Not sure how such a timeout is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DigiTechRep Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just FYI: These suggestions are going on a list here at the factory. We have pressing features that will of course be given priority, but we are noting everything that is suggested ITT.Thanks for nudging me MediaMan09!

Members mck Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is great! Since we have the ear may I add or remind one feature I have in mind?When Up/Down is pressed if you don't choose a present quickly the ipb-10 reverts back to the previous bank after a very brief period. I would love it if there was a user setting to control the time it waits before reverting or perhaps totally disable the revert back function. Some of us are older with bad eye sights and it does take us some time to digest whats on the new bank when you go to it with up & down! ;-)Thanks for listening.

I think everyone understands it's never possible to give everyone what they want, but it sure seems you've figured out how to obtain the opinions of a most excellent focus group!

I found my cheat sheet handy for a binder, but the old eyes still struggle at times. So I super-sized and color-coded it and keep it propped up on an angled stand right beside the unit. Its great for practicing to see the whole menu of ipb-10 presets at once, albeit just a rough proxy by description. I posted a hi-res tiff file here, perfect for an inexpensive 2' x 2' poster from on-line services like posterjack, walmart etc ... for those as anal as I. PNG file here.

Members Anderton Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm going to print this out right now for a different reason - it's time for me to do some additional audio examples, and I want to make sure I don't repeat the presets I've already done. So, I'll check off presets I've done as I go along. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
