SA247 True Spring Reverb User Guide 44

The True Spring does not sync to MIDI timecode containing SMPTE timestamps.

USB

The True Spring’s USB port is plug-and-play ready for Windows and Mac computers. The True Spring

uses class-compliant drivers, so no special drivers are needed. Just power up the pedal and connect it

to the computer using a USB cable. The computer should automatically recognize the True Spring,

which will be identified as “Source Audio One Series” in the operating system.

USB to Neuro Desktop Editor

Use the USB port on the top of the pedal to connect the True Spring to the Neuro Desktop Editor on

both Mac or Windows based computers. Connecting the True Spring to the Neuro Desktop Editor

allows users to create and organize highly customized presets as well as update the pedal with the

latest firmware. Go to the Neuro Desktop Editor section for instructions on creating user presets and

updating pedal firmware.

USB-MIDI

The True Spring will appear as a MIDI device in your computer’s operating system. As a result, the

pedal can communicate with audio production software that utilizes MIDI, such as Pro Tools, Ableton

Live, Logic Pro, and more. MIDI messages can be sent directly to the True Spring using the USB

connection, which allows for full automation of the pedal within host software such as a DAW. For

example, the depth or speed of the tremolo can be automated by outputting MIDI continuous

controller messages from the host software to the True Spring via the USB connection.
