Original Q2 Echo's

[GAJ52]

Having just bought a Tonelab LE (see my other posts) I am still playing around with various settings to use with my Q2 EFTP echo's. I normally use the echo's suggested by Charlie in the Patch list that came with the unit.

As there are so many echo's I was wondering if anyone has some favourite patches for 'general' Shadows style music. I'm refering to the original Q2 patches not Charlies later ones.

Many thanks

Hi Glen,
You may or may not know this but there will be a free upgrade to the old programs, probably by the end of the year.

Hi Charlie

Yes I saw your post regarding udgrading the older Q2 echo's towards the end of the year - not sure how you can improve on the original ones but I'm sure its going to be worth waiting for. It seems many years since I was in your lounge while you programmed my Q2 for me and by the end of year the internal backup battery must fail - they can't go on for ever !!

I seem to recall you made a modification for copyright purposes to the midi ports on the original units does this mean we cannot save the patches to a computer in case the backup battery fails.

Thanks for your continued support Charlie its much appreciated.

Regards

Hi Glen,
Correct, I disabled the MIDI out port. The new update may well be available as a data file, so that would be a backup, if I decide to do that.
