A tutorial on how to do the pitch dives would be amazing

May God bless you who stopped at this comment and your whole family, may you prosper in all areas

[@LiamKalyan]

so I got mine working thanks to this video. what you didn't explain was how to automate pitch dives foot free bombs for example. I'm able to have the midi automatically switch to that channel for me so I can use my foot. But I've seen people with other daws do it foot free

Hello Mate, sorry for my late reply. By next week you will have your video! Until then, have a good one!

[@LiamKalyan]

@@mr.soloartist I actually have it figured out now but I'm glad you're making one

[@dilbophagginz]

@@LiamKalyan Mind giving a hint? :D

Can you make another video programing a quick riff? I'm all set up to this point, thanks to this video, but I can't get it to work. I'm just not sure what the next steps are lol newbs, right? ugh lol

[@mr.soloartist]

Hello mate! I will do. Cant promise any date yet, but will be soon rather then later! But in the mean time, be creativ! A tipp what i could give you right away, is, to have a riff for two bars and then have the same riff for another two bars, but shifted down, lets say, a major third or so. I will do it more detailed in the video. Until then, Keep thalling and or djenting!

[@adamsantoro4764]

@@mr.soloartist thank you! I'll give that riff set up and saved so it's ready when you get the video posted!

Does the Whammy DT transmit MIDI? meaning that if you set the channel to record your whammy movements will they be transmitted?, especially the pedal run, would be great to record your pedal performance and then fine tune it by editing commands or copy/pasting in different order for more creative effects

[@mr.soloartist]

Im not sure and also dont see why it shouldnt work. Maybe worth trying... But what i could belive is, that when you switch the menu on the bottom left side to expression, that you must be able to "fake" the whammy movement buy programming in some expression moves. (when you set two points and then right click it to change the curve. i hope that answered your question in some way.. If not, let me know!

[@Aletheia_Z]

@@mr.soloartist Yes, I'll try once I receive mine, I just order it, thanks!

[@kalinyx_]

Hey. I don't think so, as long as it is a midi INPUT. I think you know what's an Output/Input, so you can't get a signal out if you only have a midi out. Nonetheless, maybe it's a two-way plug, but I'm 99% it's an input

[@mr.soloartist]

@@kalinyx_ Oh yeah mate, of course. Your right. But the first method Í described must propably work if you would "re-amp" the recorded track. Like, routing it out from your Interface back through your Whammy and then add the Effects. But the first one must work. Thanks for reminding me which way the MIDI goes. Was propably brain afk when i wrote the comment. Have a Nice Day Mate!

[@D.Danko_thall]

Okay, so I set up everything like you did in the video so I can automate tuning changes but my whammy does absolutely nothing 😅 I can see that my midi device sends the signal as the LED's go on but the Whammy doesn't react. Also do I have to press anything specific to activate the drop section? 🤔

[@mr.soloartist]

So, Hello mate. That are bad news! I didnt had to press anything to activate the drop tune section. Did you close you DAW and disconected your Interface, then connected everything again and tried the prostiture again? If that doesnt work, Let me know! I´ll drop an email were we Can exchange Discords if you want so maybe we can find a Solution together! Have a good one until then!

[@D.Danko_thall]

@@mr.soloartist Thanks for the quick reply! Ah okay, guess it's something with Reaper 🤔 Will defo try that, thanks for helping me out! I'll get back to you tomorrow and if it's still not working I'd highly appreciate if we could find a way through Discord 😊 Happy new year!

[@D.Danko_thall]

@@mr.soloartist Update: I finally managed to make it work 😍 I just didn't realize that I have to send the signal to a specific channel but now I figured it out haha. Thanks for your help though, appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@mr.soloartist]

@@D.Danko_thall Happy new year to you too!

[@mr.soloartist]

@@D.Danko_thall Perfect mate! have fun with it! Its such a great tool, if used correctly. In the beginning of next month will be a more frequent upload scedual. So dont miss out! Maybe i can help you with other stuff as well. Have a good one!
