I am trying to control my digitech whammy pedal with a (mission or moog)expression pedal connected to my mc8.
I have a pc message at heel down position set so that it bypasses the whammy pedal effect . Another pc message activates the octave 2 whammy effect when the expression pedal is engaged. And a cc message with a value of 0-127 that controls the expression pedal position of the pedal.
I calibrated the expression pedal on the mc8 and the pedal on the actual dt whammy. The midi messages are being sent as I have used the midi monitor to ensure it’s working. But when I use the mission expression pedal connected to the dt whammy, it doesn’t register quick back to back rocks of the expression pedal. So a lot of time the dt whammy is never engaged and it stays in the bypass mode that was assigned to the heel down position.
How can I fix this. I want to be able to rapidly use the expression pedal as quick as I want as I would if I were using the actual whammy pedal on the unit.
Have you tried lowering the sensitivity? I had a scenario where the sweep was acting blocky because the sensitivity was too high. Lowering it improved it a lot. It seems contradictory, I know.
I am on the latest 3.9.3 firmware. And I have tried all sensitivities.
Does the expression engage always work for you guys when paired with a heel down bypass ?
I have sort of found a way that some what works . To make it work I have a cc value 0-127 for pedal position, pc message to enable whammy on engage, a pc message to activate whammy on toe and a pc message to bypass on heel.
Although I notice that when the pedal is quickly moved from heel to toe not all of the cc values are sent, meaning that a lot of the time it just goes from 0 straight to 127. Instead of giving a quick pitch bend up to 127.
