sidious911 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's so much fun playing this without having to mess about with the treadle on the whammy That... and to play it properly, it just isn't possibly to do it manually...so many program switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I used to play it with the -1 oct setting which worked fairly well doing it manually. Not as accurate as using the MIDI file though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.stealyogirl Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I've been able to play unsustainable with the pod hd500x the same as matt! Here's a vid of it in action: I used reaper to automate the whammy shifting and setting changes. The download for the patch and reaper project are in the description. Also, i've made the effect exactly how the original is (in the video it wasn't done yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the pitch shifter was monophonic on the line 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.stealyogirl Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 How did you get Map of the problematic to work? I thought the pitch shifter was monophonic on the line 6... It is monophonic.. I tried making it work for a while but it sounded stupid cuz you could hear it sliding in between notes. So one day I finally had the idea of setting up two separate pitch shifters and turning them on and off with reaper. And that's how I do it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Vandini Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Recently I bought a Whammy 5 and I created a midi file to control the effect in Motp. Now I started creating a midi file for Unsustainable, but is too hard... Anyone has got a midi file to control Whammy while playing Unsustainable and can share it with me? I've seen that Dominic had posted it, but old links don't work Edited January 27, 2017 by Vanduz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warofgames Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hi Guys ! I search on internet an Automation for Unsustainable to connect to my Whammy V... But i have anything ... Anyone have the file ? Please help me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Gentlemen. Any of you have the whammy DT? I need to verify the program change numbers. I'm making a DT version of the file for someone else, and can't test it myself. Are the numbers in the manual all off by one (like with the whammy 5) or... are they actually correct? Does nerd herd know? Because I think he's the only other person here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfortunate. I already sent him the file with the incorrect numbers then I could send it to you, but I'd need to put a disclaimer with it. Last time I sent it to someone, they complained that their whammy wasn't working normally afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong about the numbers, it’s ages since I did anything like that with the CC numbers and all that stuff. Realised after I posted that I haven’t installed a DAW on my new laptop yet . Hahahaha how does a MIDI file break a whammy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy could have been winding me up, but apparently recalibrating sorted it out... having said that, I've never had that happen with mine (and remember I'm writing the track with it too) I don't think I'll entertain such requests this time. One guy in a tribute band offered to pay, but I never heard back from him after I replied with a certain hashtag. Think it got the message across anyway.

james90 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 https://www.dropbox.com/s/gu9wpr7722voo96/unsustainable%20demo.mp4?dl=0 That's what I've managed to do so far. Still need to write the middle section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01FromFinland Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So... I know the "correct" way to play it is with the midi... but is it just me, or is it way more fun to play when you just do it manually? Imo you can get pretty close without the midi.

james90 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Got some of the middle section done, but also trying to get a half decent fuzz sound. I imagine he's still using a direct fuzz factory... at least for some of it. But whammy into FF doesn't really work on the low notes at all, and the reverse order is the wrong sound. #JaicenApproved though. A certain other oscillating fuzz gets a better sound. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/jamespetrow/whammy-abuse[/soundcloud] Ignore the backing track. It's not going to upload otherwise. While it does have similar qualities to the fuzz factory, I don't think it works as well when run direct. Oscillation is much more difficult to control as well.

Bs Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 For what it's worth, I've never remotely thought he used the Fuzz Factory on Unsustainable, and it definitely didn't sound like it live. I always assumed it was just a light-ish distortion with the Whammy doing most of the work. It doesn't really sound fuzzy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not live, but I'm pretty sure it's a direct fuzz factory in the studio version - but maybe not for all parts. That note at the very end sounds like it to me.
