Digitech Hammer On

This pedal seems something @DaveM could be interested into:

@DaveM: what do you think about it? Any chance to integrate some of the features in your already awesome plugin collection? :grinning:

Hey, that’s cool! I guess you could achieve most of these effects with a whammy (or some pitchshifter) and cv plugins to modulate the pitch. But my whammy implementation might smooth out changes in pitch too much. Because it needs to be snappy. (Edit: just checked. The smoothing on my implementation is quite fast actually)

Have you tried something like that already?

Yep
I don’t see something you can’t do with whammy plugin and CV.
(It may be a good idea to make and share a pedalboard to be a good example for using CV)

Two exemples in this PB
Channel 1 with a Toggle_2in
Channel 2 with a Stereo X-fade and a CV

And of course less CPU hungry with the great Dave M plugin !

And you could use a MIDI Step Sequencer → MIDI To CV → Attenuverter Booster to emulate the sequencer mode.
Use MIDI notes C-1 to C0 on the sequencer for a range of 0 to 12 semitones and then use two Attenuverter Booster plugins to multiply it by 12 (2 x 6).

I’d like to know if you can also control a Step Sequencer with footswitches somehow. I’d like to be able to proceed to the next sequencer step when the footswitch is on. If that’s possible you could also emulate the effect at 3:40 quite easily.

Oeh this I need to test soon!
Did somebody make an audio sample yet?

I needed a pedal controlled Step Sequencer for another effect I wanted to create too. So I made this new mono sequencer plugin called dm-Seq. With this plugin you can recreate the effect at 3:40.
Just follow the MIDI To CV instructions I posted here before. But instead of using one of the existing step sequencers use the new dm-Seq one.

Ensure dm-Seq’s Clock Mode is set to Trigger, assign a footswitch to the Trigger parameter and you’re good to go. You can edit the sequence, set the amount of steps you want to iterate through. And you could even iterate through the steps at random. That could be fun too.
