james90 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 ...use the whammy -1/+1 setting? Or am i being dumb and not understanding what you’re after No mate, I mean being able to go to -1 octave (heel) and +1 octave (toe) on the same setting. It's the same idea as the harmonizer -1/+1, but only for pitch. None that I know of. Would changing between -1 & +1 on the whammy with MIDI work? When the CC number goes from 127 to 0 for one -1, then it switches to +1 and goes from 0 to 127, but all during the sweep of an expression pedal. Or that's complete nonsense and it won't work. You absolute madman I don't think MIDI would work in this case, especially for on the fly stuff Unless there's a MIDI controlled expression pedal that will switch between -1/+1... basically, EXACTLY half way on the expression could be bypassed. Forward (toe) from that middle point would be 0-127 +1 octave, and backward (heel) from that middle point would be 0-127 -1 octave... Somehow I don't think such a thing exists.

eh-D Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If I'm reading it right I do exactly this with a Line 6 M5 with exp pedal Harmonizer would blend dry signal, this is all effected. Pitch glide setting Toe down = +12 (these are half steps) Heal down = -12 Mix = 100% The knob is really touchy to get exactly 12 plus or minus.

It's probably a way too elaborate way of doing it. Did you find out if the pitchfork does that? I think mission engineering makes MIDI expression pedals that can do all sorts of weird stuff, so one of them might work for my mad idea. Speaking of MIDI, my old laptop completely died last week so I won't be playing MOTP for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might do what I want, but then again... it might not. https://www.audiofront.net/MIDIExpression.php Still, should be a pretty neat and potentially useful thing to have.

james90 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I bought the wrong one. Need the one with the MIDI output. I can still hook it up by USB and send through the existing MIDI interface I have, but that's not the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Which one did you get?? The basic one that's listed at $49. Actually haven't taken it out of the packaging yet. I've had a set of those in my amazon basket for a few weeks but forgot about them. Does it work for your whammy magic? Time will tell. and you should add them to your basket on MGW. I don't think you can actually save anything on there, so you can only clear it buy purchasing the contents. Or at least that's what it says in the guerrilla marketing contract I have with them.

Roryj02 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Bit of a leftfield question but does anyone know if tremolo speed could be controlled by an expression pedal? Working on a solo and there's a part that slows down the trem speed towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.. yes, Josh seemed a bit surprised. Edited May 7, 2018 by Matthijs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
