Whammy Remote via MIDI?

[clarky2003]

but the whammidi is mainly for channel program selection and bypassing right?.. or does it have sequencing or any other effects?

when i first saw it, the screen was off so i thought it was some sort of ribbon controller on a box...lol

In fact, the whammidi is for the selection of the differents presets of the Whammy pedal, by cliking on the 2 switches UP and DOWN.The LCD screen displays the current preset of the whammy. Even with no external light, in live conditions, you can change preset, and see immediatly on the screen the current preset. The third switch is for the true bypass loop built in the whammidi. You can place the Whammy onto that loope to get a real bypass, with no tone sucking!

No sequencing or ohter effects for the moment, only a MIDI controller.

P.S: i'm making english pages on my web site

Just thought I'd bump this one up as it s a cool topic.

IS ANYBODY GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THIS? I think you are missing a cool point with this one.

Maybe Paul Perry could jump in and save us all. You need something like Pauls CV sequencer but just with midi instead and also you could use it for any fx sort of like a digital z vex or vanishing point.

Please keep up the project

I did make a little progress with some programming on a PIC, however I don't really have the time to get any further. I'm considering  using the vanishing point to directly control the LDR of a whammy, should be significantly easier

Did you check out www.midibox.org?

Of course, that was the first place I went!

I've been a member over there for three years, it's a great community to be a part of.

hi, it's been a while and i haven't worked on my program but since my last post, my program is prettymuch finished
or finished as much as i wanted it to be

i might make some videos and put them up somewhere for u guys to see

obviosly it's not a box or unit but still...works pretty good

Hi everyone,

We just joined this forum today and found this thread asking about Whammy 4 MIDI arpeggiator controls.

We released a super-compact MIDI controller designed for the Whammy a couple months ago:
http://www.moltenvoltage.com/molten_midi.html

Molten MIDI has a removable 8-pin microcontroller in a socket, and comes pre-programmed with ten Whammy 4 settings, including an arpeggiator.

I also spent 17 hours yesterday programming a new chip that does 9 new tricks including a number of new arpeggios.  It will be released in a week or so.

Let us know if you have any questions.

We are excited to be a part of this forum!

Cool stuff! Welcome.

That looks like fun... will you be putting new demo footage up?

[MoltenVoltage]

We just posted a revised page for Molten MIDI which has a link to the new video for the "Cheapo Tricks" chip which includes a number of arpeggiators:

Here is the direct link to the youtube vid:

We'd love to hear your feedback!

Hi guys!

I've managed to control my Whammy using an Arduino (and the MIDI library). You've got to know that presets on the left (harmony) have reversed PC numbers (the manual is wrong: PC 9 is "Active 3rdUp/2ndUp", and PC 34 is "Bypass OctUp/OctDwn".

For everything else, it works.. The middle-position CC value seems to be around 185 (but it depends on how you calibrated the pedal).

Anyway, it's so cool to remotely control the Whammy, with a sequencer you can make weird and nice sounds...

hey, sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but i just launched my kickstarter

whamminator is now live on kickstarter!
check it out, thanks
