Hey there!
I just got a Dwarf (again) and am absolutely loving it.
Itās currently being used for a DIY project of MIDIfying an old Hammond transistor organ - keeping the classic spinet design, MIDIfying the keybeds and then triggering SetBfree with lots of different effects. Might not be the most popular thing to do with it but most dedicated Hammond modules cost way more and are not even close to the flexibility of the Dwarf.
Oh and itās a great MIDI router/filter and might as well be used as an effects unit for my Irish Bouzouki as well as flute. 
Iām a keyboard player for a hard rock tribute band and vocalist, flute/bouzouki/keyboard player, songwriter in an orchestral folk metal band aaand a few ambient/orchestral solo thingies.
Looking forward to ask a few silly questions here and joining the community. 
Greetings,
The Blacksmith

Thanks for the warm welcome! Still got to figure a few things out regarding MIDI and Setbfree. Iāll post the pedalboard here for sure!
Itās currently being tested with my Nord Stage, as I donāt yet have the MIDI electronics for the keybeds and Iām in no hurry.
Very cool project! Do you or will you have some videos on YouTube about that?

Planning on doing so but not specific plans at the moment. Iām documenting everything with photos and some videos, so the material is there.

Hi everyone,
Iām Simon from Leeds, UK. Backed the Dwarf on Kickstarter and finally got my Founders Edition. Iāve got a week off work and Iām trying to get my head round everything - itās a steep learning curve for a guy who started in the 80s with an Ibanez Artist, a chorus, a distortion and a flanger.
Hoping to get some help on here. First thing Iām looking for is an auto-expression/swell effectā¦

Welcome fellow guitarist!
Perhaps it is best to create a separate topic about this in the Plugins category
(That we can can keep the āwelcomeā thread on-topic) and we can address your questions in the new thread you made.

hi everyone, Iāve been looking for a year and a half for an emulation pedal that adds value to my music: Iāve always played with a classical guitar with two outputs -one made by me- on an old yamaha amp -Yamaha TA-60- 1970s piano with built-in spring reverb and tremolo, plus a proco rat pedal and a very noisy 90s zoom analog fuzz. I was looking for a more comfortable solution as the amp is very heavy, noisy and tiring and I needed new forms of expression. I bought, tc plethora, then hx stomp -incredible effects of course-, nux mg 30 and finally a headrush gigboard. All of them with good emulations, some very similar and others mediocre. When I finally seemed satisfied with the headrush gigboard, the proco rat, a line 6 m5 pedal and an expression pedal, the MOD DWARF appeared on thomann, I researched it, it looked interesting and I bought it. It has broken all my expectations - I sold the headrush - and it is changing the way I make music and how to show it to others, obviously there are things to improve but it seems like a constantly evolving product: only the convolution reverbs are worth the pedalā¦Iām a fan of reverbs and to my ears they sound spectacularā¦itās like having ALTIVERB 7 at your feet -literally-ā¦the new AIDA DSP amp sounds great even though thereās still work to be doneā¦, the guitar synyhs, drums, looper, MIDI, VEU, shiro effects .etcā¦etcā¦
I have a unique feeling that I can do a lot by experimenting with the pedal and seeing what the community creates - pretty crazy stuff from what I see -
finally I think that MOD AUDIO has a treasure in the hands that few of us share and it should reach many more people to make the project biggerā¦ a little more just hehe, this community spirit is beautiful and alternative to the most brands commercialā¦

hi
currently Iām An AXEFX3 user, but fed up the support isnāt willing to introduce some further āenvelope followersā. so, the AxeFx features one envelope follower on input 1 only,
but I need at least one for a second input (would be input 2), as I donāt play bass nor guitar with it but Chapman Stick, which all if you might know has two Signals. And yh, i need it for some Auto-wahāsā¦
Long story short - AxeFx3 costs 2500 minimum but is usable for single output instruments only.
boy, if I would have known that earlier!
are the MOD Devices more capable of that you know?

Hello, AxeFxIII user here too. I profiled an amp block with envelope follower for gain for use it with Aida-X and it works!

Well thatās some promising news.
Would you be willing to clone that signal-flow within your build for a second signal, eg.
INPUT 2 >> EnvelopeFollower2 >> AmpSim2 >> Output 2?
thanks a thousand times
JFY-all-Iā¦
thiis would be my complete flowchart needed (AxeFx3 is not able for yet, BTW):
INPUT 1 >> Envelope Follower1 >> Filter >> CabSim1 >> Output 1
INPUT 2 >> EnvelopeFollower2 >> Filter >> CabSim2 >> Output 2
@Kopplog Welcome to this great community!
Please donāt double post though; please continue the debate on the envelop filters/followers in the other thread you created:
