Source Audio C4 Synth Pedal FULL DEMO with Neuro App

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- Check out the other worldly C4 Synth Pedal by Source Audio. This is probably the most diverse pedal I have ever owned. From sounds that compliment the guitar, to sounds that you'd never dream a guitar could make. The C4 Synth can deliver whatever you need, and via the Neuro App, you can not only dial in your perfect sound/effect with multiple different voicings, but you can also download countless saved presets by other C4 Synth owners and creators! It's truly a community!
In this demo, I go through some saved presets either stock or created by others, as well as some of my own presets. Wildly enough, this "full demo" only scratches the surface of what this amazing little contraption can do!

Thank you so much for showing USABLE sounds. So many TH-cam channels show wak or experimental sounds that nobody would use in an actual show, Thus leaving us wondering if it actually sounds good or not. This demo was great! Cheers!
Now I’m going to buy one.
That is awesome! You’re gonna love it. And thanks for watching. I wanted to be able to use it for the weird stuff but also the usable day to day sounds. It’s super versatile!
best demo of this pedal by far !!!
vballmusicGod wow man!! That is so encouraging to me. Thanks so much!!! Believe it’s my most diverse demo with the use of the neuro. And I just scratched the surface lol. You can go deeppppp
I enjoy this video very much because you let the pedal do the talking! You play very well, by the way! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much man! And yea for sure, there is so much to do with this pedal so not a lot of room to talk haha
I love the Under The Sea bit. I do this all the time to irritate my bandmates. Thanks for sneaking it in. Oh, and the demo is great too!
Ryan Dougherty haha gotta have some fun and mess around. It was perfect for it
Just got mine this past week, solidifying my pedalboard [citation needed]. The C4 for the crazy, the octaves, the filters, the phasers, all the things my rig was lacking (quality) in. The VMT for that special sauce kinda dirt. And the heart and brain of the rig, the HX Stomp (with a jet micro midi pedal and expression treadle).
Currently figuring out an issue where my C4 isn’t loading any of the Spectrum sounds from the library but it did, it does, and will again, and I’m super thrilled with my rig. Never even bought the FMeron!!
That’s awesome man!! Yea it’s such a versatile pedal! It’s great when you don’t want, or can’t afford a legit mutli-effects, but just need a some wild tweakable sounds from just one pedal to fit on your board! That’s a bummer about the presets, you should definitely hit up the Source Audio team. They are always willing to help!
Way better than the Sweetwater Demo! 10/10 Demo, Will be buying this pedal ASAP!
Tre Fugich man! Thanks so much! That means a lot! Stoked you’ll be getting one. It’s killer! 👌🏽
Your playing at 3:29 was beautiful. Great sound and melody!
Thanks man! Means a lot. All these sounds inspire a bunch of ideas
@@nobesmusicwhat are the settings for this part?!!!
@@levigonzalez2498 it’s my sweeping analog lead preset! You can download it from the app if you search “nobesmusic”! Just add some delay and ambient reverb and you have that sound 🤙🏽
Great demo. I've had the pedal for 5 days now and this video will really help. Love the envelope filters.
Thanks a lot! That’s so good to hear. There’s definitely so much you can do with C4. It’s unending!
Great demo and thanks for demoing my patches! I play Bass mainly but i do play guitar through my pedal board so it was great to hear these with your guitar! I liked that fuzz octave one with guitar sounded cool!
No way!! I love your patches! Literally
Use them so much. Means a lot from you thanks! And yea that fuzz octave sounds crazy! Good stuff man!
@@nobesmusic Awesome cheers man glad you enjoy them!
First! Excited to see this, the teaser video was very good!
Sweet!!! lol Thank you so much! Yea the Full Demo is going to have a lot more content!
@@nobesmusic walrus audio reposted your Instagram video on Facebook, congrats man! Looking forward to see what else is to come!
So sickkkk!! Love those guys and their pedals. Thanks man! Truly appreciate it!
Thank you for demoing with other effects pedals. That was really helpful.
For sure man! I usually only add other effects at the end of my demos, but some of the sounds on C4 are more useable with other effects like reverb and delay. Makes a huge difference!
Awesome sounds, man!
Thanks! The C4 synth is loaded!
Got this!!...and Oh Damn!!..the possibilities are awesome!! 🤘🏾✨🎛✨🎶🎸🔊For Live Looping and Recording,..the SA C4 is Bad Ass‼️Guitar & ✨🎸Bass Players,..👍🏾😎your world🌎 will be Rocked!! It IS soooo worth the money!😉👌🏾..and you’ll come aware that there’s no need for other pedals once THIS is on your Pedalboard!! b(‘ _
Haha yea man!! It can do so much! It’s an essential tool on my rig! 🔥
I need this!
Dude it’s insane!!!
Great video! Thanks
Tha is for watching man! 🙏🏽
Wow!!! I´m excited!
One of the coolest pedals I own to date!!!
I really shouldn't have watched this demo. I thought I had all the pedals I needed... this pedal sounds great and seems very easy to dial in. 😩😫
😂 well I’m glad you did haha. Thanks for watching man! The C4 has done a lot for me than I originally expected for sure! And yea it’s super easy to find and save presets from the neuro app and edit them on pedal itself or on the app
Fat Gated Fuzz!!!! Sold me.
Haha dude that sound is INSANE!! Gotta use that again
I just got one but I think this pedal sounds so much better on guitar I honestly this this pedal was made more for guitar hah
It’s so sick!! And yea love the stuff I get with guitar
Gorgeous test. Thank you. May I ask, what cool guitar you play in this video. Looks great 🤩
Hey!! This is a Veritas Guitars Portlander! It’s a DREAM!
@@nobesmusic Thank you 🤩🙏. What colour name is your blue body?
@@MrWolfmuc not too sure it had to be like a custom blue they were working with
I don’t really understand how they market this as “eurorack” modular synth in the box. This is a very simple synth with quite fixed architecture
Have you used the computer software editor? You can do a lot with that thing
@@nobesmusicOf course I did, and I have enough modular and semi-modular hardware. C4 is a regular subtractive synth, not modular
@@empireoftonestudio yea that makes sense that you’d feel that way coming from a modular background. Not coming from that myself, the C4 has been killer for me!
@@nobesmusicIt is killer, I have it and like it. But I dislike misleading advertising
@@empireoftonestudio ah gotchu
He did Havona!
YOOO!! So stoked you noticed 😂
So maybe a stupid question, but you can load any of these sounds into the pedal via the app? Then they stay on the pedal after you disconnect from the app? Do you have to always have the app up and running to use those presets?
Yea! Once you download the preset you need to just save it on the pedal and it will be there until you download a new one
Based on your experience. How this pedal deals with chords and polyphonic sounds?
Hey! It works great as long as your effect is set to polyphonic! If the synth is monophonic it will not work. But the presets will usually say if it’s mono or poly. Also when you create your own sound via the neuro app, it’s one of the first settings to choose from! I have another video of the C4 synth where is start it off with a polyphonic setting and chords!
The delayed bit at 3:21 was beautiful. You re making it hard not to buy this thing.
Thanks man!! That’s actually my favorite part of this demo haha. I have searching for the sound to play on guitar for years and with the C4 Synth I was able to make it from scratch on the Neuro app. Total eureka moment when I finished haha
@@nobesmusic Would you be willing to share the settings?
Does anybody know if this pedal can be profiled with a Kemper? So I could create sounds with the pedal in the studio and take them on stage with the Kemper (for the ease of use). Thanks! :)
Hey! I’m not entirely sure if this can be profiled by the kemper, but that would be epic!
Hi, great demo, how does it connect to your phone? Is that bluetooth or cabled?
Thanks lot! It connects via 3.5mm cable just a normal headphone Jack. I believe it comes with the pedal if remember correctly
Ok, quick question. On a lot of the bassier stuff (for example the pony effect you showed) and a lot of others. My pedal does not make a sound until I strum very hard or crank up the volume. When it does it’s so loud it sounds like it’s gonna fuck up my amp. I think the fact that I’m using a loud tube amp might play into this but I’m really not sure. Any tips for getting those tones at reasonable volumes?
Sure thing! There’s actually a input response knob that dictates what dynamic you need to activate the effect properly as well as the master volume knob when you hold down the control button and move the knob on the top right. That way you can change your gain structure to suit the amount volume you want coming out of your amp!
@@nobesmusic wow you may have just changed the whole way I interact with this pedal
@@jamesmesser1212 dude that’s awesome! Yea there are so many ways to use this thing. It’s wild!
Hey, how are the presets, is there many in the app to choose from? Tempted to buy for arpeggio/sequence type effects but don't want to spend an age in the editor.
Ciarán McCarthy hey! Many they are killer! If you check out the neuro app community preset section in the demo, you’ll see that all of those presets where made within a month or less. And they were all super cool! Users are always creating sounds and there’s tab to find some of Source Audio’s favorites. Definitely won’t take you long to either find what your looking or create it yourself on the neuro app. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it, you can create anything you’d like 👌🏽
Hello, great video I have some questions though.
1. Does it have to be placed early in the chain?
2. Should I just get a Spectrum instead?
3. Is it worth to run it in stereo?
Hey! Thanks, no worries.
1. It doesn’t need to be early, I actually have it after my drives, distortion, volume, and compressor
2. Spectrum is cool too, they have interweaving presets on the neuro app, but get whichever your more drawn to. Synth sounds or filters
3. Definitely worth it to run stereo. You can pan certain parts of the effects. The best example I have is a stereo tremelo where one side is dry signal and the other side comes in and out. Sounds epic!
Yeah, Ill be getting the C4 seems like they share a lot features but the C4 has way more options.
@@UnleashDLion yea for sure!
The C4 can run the Spectrum engine. The Spectrum CANNOT run the C4 engine.
What is that riff at 4:05?
Totally Stranger Things inspired 😂
Holy smoke!! Please tell me they paid you to do this!
😂 I got to keep the pedal 👌🏽
Just got the C4..It doesn't respond on my Android phone with the Neuro app..tried everything.. disappointed.😒
Sorry to hear that man! I just saw some video here on TH-cam on how to connect the C4 to your Android via the Neuro app. I’d recommend checking those out, and if it doesn’t work, you should totally contact Source Audio! I’m sure they’d help out. Hope it works out!
@@nobesmusic I tried everything.. Someone told me it could be the firmware on the pedal isn't the latest so it could be not working with the app..il try..cheers
You might have sold it already but it wasn’t working for me until I realized that I needed the volume on my phone to be turned all the way up!
@@mezatronNo I didn't sell it... Although sometimes I think I will as I'm a bit disappointed with the sounds..not enough variation..it's like there are a few root sounds and then you get variations of those sounds more or less... I think I tried that with the volume..il try again cheers..
@@patrickr6505 I will say that plugging it into a computer with the usb and playing with the Neuro app on a big screen is a game changer. I have a headphone amp that I use when testing on my computer so I can play around with it while tweaking. There are a good number of community created sounds that you can use as a base. What I do is keep a note on my phone of the three green and three red sounds. What they are, and what the two knobs control. It’s very helpful when I’m jamming and want to remember which sound is which.
Seems like a lot of latency on the octave.
Yep there’s a little bit in polyphonic mode, but none on monophonic mode!
Will it do the EH micro synth sweeps?
I believe so! It has a bunch of filter options. But I’m sure someone has made preset with that kind of sound
You’re telling me this has an octave preset?
Sorry I missed this! I made and octave preset that you can download!
@@nobesmusic where can I download it?
@@treyGivens1 in the neuro app just look up @nobesmusic and you can download all of the sounds I made
Do you need to be connected to app. to play?
No
@@christiaandemarezoyens4720
Cooooooool.
@@christiaandemarezoyens4720 really? How do you save the effects? I recently bought one and I have no idea of how to use it haha.
@@susyside4998 The beauty of it is you don't really have to. You can connect it to their app and click on all these cool presets saved by them and users as well. They play instantly and if you have a favorite you can use the app to save it to one of your banks, but I really enjoy the variety and trying different ones every time I jam or record.
Thanks for comments and help man! Totally missed this one 😅
Would be a more practical and fun to use pedal if it just had presets with adjustable parameters already onboard. Trying one sound then to try another sound, you must usb up to a computer and go to the website every time you want to switch a patch. Seems unnecessarily time-consuming and probably diving layers of menus until you get a sound you like an hour later. *yawn*
It actually does that. It has 6 presets and that can be saved on board and then 128 presets via midi. I use it via midi and can switch to specifics presets with just one button. And then can reach down and change parameters if needed via the knobs
@nobesmusic it's SO versatile. In fact this pedal is a chameleon. I bought the SA Spectrum to replace my MXR Envelope Filter and Micro Pog. I then bought the SA Collider to replace my Fathom (reverb + delay on one box). THEN I realized that the C4 can do all of the Spectrum patches but the Spectrum can't do all the c4 patches. So the C4 replaced my Spectrum. Lol. In fact I could make the argument on how someone might need 2 C4s on a board. It's a game-changer.
@@musicmaestro88 right?! That is awesome. There are so many sounds and I do love the source audio cross over presets! Two would be insane!
analog?
Hey! This is a digital circuit throughout
@@nobesmusic thanks!! great playing, great sounds!!
@@martinskanal thanks so much! And yea they sound super authentic
