Source Audio Reflex 2.0!

Hmmm. No replies to this in a while. Anyone know what the eta on these is?

Low priority over a number of other current projects

Thanks for bumping this thread. I had no idea that thing existed!!

Would love to see the LFO's have lots of shapes: including those found in various vintage tremolo circuits.

Heel switch, toe switch, maybe a couple switch inputs?

There've been a number of projects that got side-lined for chip & parts availability issues. I hope they revisit this one.

Keeping the dream alive...

@rsmith601 As we excitedly await Neuro XL is there an estimated date for a Reflex 2.0? Is it still on the roadmap? Thank you in advance!

[I am starting to realize the pedal is probably an engineering nightmare and not inexpensive to prototype or produce.]

Allow me to be the first in 2024 to breath some life into this topic. Just saw the demo vid for this pedal (don't know whether it was a Rev 1, or this 2.0). Had some dip switches for the three expression output jacks (for different types of pedals), presets, etc. Hell yea. What a clever idea.

We were too clever for our own good. We had a few very excited customers, but not enough. There might be more these days, but we are not going to take the risk to create the next generation until its clear the folks want a $500 expression pedal.

I guess I’ll start. I do!

Allow me to be the second in line

Sir, I will jump in as well. The Reflex is the only expression I'll touch, and have been for the last 3 years. The flexibility is just unrivaled

I would even be interested in the modular idea as well

Yea, that makes sense. Time after time, Source Audio runs headlong into the wilds beyond the bleeding edge of possibilities-- you're bound to have to walk it back from time to time as the market isn't ready for it (cost-wise or concept-wise). Perhaps at some point, when you've got some breathing room in that hectic schedule there at SA, you could consider some kind of crowd-funding-pre-order-- with a pre-determined threshold for number of pre-order commitments to meet your goal.

Alternatively, I could imagine an SA device that has two pedal inputs; expecting specifics like 1/4" TRS, 10K, wiper on tip-- (pedal not included). It could have 2 pedal outs, MIDI IN and MIDI THRU/OUT (merged), maybe 3.5mm TRRS i/o on top/back. All that could follow the shape format of one-series (like EQ2). Within the Neuro Editor, users can adjust routing, global adjustments for the input range (min, max) & user-drawn curve, preset-by-preset output range & curves, resolution (select 7-bit or 14-bit CC/RPN/NRPN), smoothing, thinning (to prevent MIDI data log jam), maybe even some modes for connecting switches.

I have a product from AudioFront.net called MIDI Expression iO which has 4 pedal ins, USB i/o and MIDI din i/o. It covers some of these bases, but only via MIDI & USB, not pedal outs-- which seems fairly rare, but useful for nerds with FX that have EXP ins.

There's also the expressionator from mission, similar to what this v2 they mentioned above is. It's not as refined as the new expressions out today, movement wise, but I'll never sell mine.

It completes my chromatron and sending v2, like it was meant to be
