Just to lazy to pull it out of my studio rack and lug that big heavy thing around to gigs.TC Electronic has announced a comprehensive software update for the Clarity M hardware meter. Now mu dual stereo engine M5000 with the wide easy to read screen and 5-front panel knobs, I find that to be very quick and easy to navigate. In the end, they all kind of suck to get around quickly. Perhaps since I've had a M5000 for so long I just know the algo's well enough that flipping thru the M2000 is logical so it's easier to me. Navigating on a M2000 has never been a problem for me after I spent the time to really learn it.
I certainly don't find any Yamaha SPX version to have bester or great navigation and The Lex PCM 90/91 I find as one of the worst for quickness. Bypass both or either engine with dedicated buttons. Duplicate buttons for each engine make it easier and quicker and only affect the one engine at a time. You may think and believe differently but I find the M2000 quick to navigate in general and even more so compared to many other digital effects that are multi-menu driven. Maybe I am missing something that is right in front of my eyes with these things and I have had both of them for years but due to slow navigation I find I just don't use them nearly as much as my other units. For comparison in my live rigs I also have several Yamaha SPX900/990 units as well as some Lexicon PCM90/91 units and they are all far superior to navigate and modify compared to the M2000s. Very good and quick to use in that application and very handy with it's dual mono engine capability.How do you find the M2000 quick to use in a live situation? I have 2 of them and I find the navigation to be slow and cumbersome to dial in or modify different effects.
While I still have and use a 4-ch M5000, I also have a M2000 that I acquired a few years ago in a trade for services that I use for live sound FOH gigs from time to time. M5000 was, and is still a better overall effects unit expandable as a 4-Ch analog/digital unit or a 8-Ch digital effects unit.
I remember many M5000 owners including myself pretty miffed when the M2000 came out considering what we paid for an M5000. M2000 is still a very good and even great reverb for headphone tracking or mixing since it has many of the alga's from M5000.
