Ciao Rino
nella confezione del Chocolate che ho ricevuto oggi, lāunico cavo incluso ha connessione USB per PC su unāestremitĆ e tipo C sullāaltra. Comunque grazie 1000, lo cerco in negozio
In my Chocolateās package thereās only the standard PC type USB plug to C plug ends kind of cable. Anyway thanks a lot for the prompt answers!
This is how my setup looks like, using the provided cable that came with the Chocolate.
I use an app (voa bluetooth) to do the settings on the Chocolate
I mage the Dwarf via my windows pc; connected with the usb B (square) to usb A (pc) cable MOD provided with my Dwarf
This is the exact cable you need! The C end goes into the Chocolate, the āPC-typeā goes into your Dwarf!
Edit: @LievenDV beat me to it and with an awesome sketch!
Ah! Thank you Lieven and Bleo, very supportive
Not having the Dwarf with me right now, my memory suggested it has kind of A type of USB port but I was wrong
Good news then, you make me saving few bucks!
Like Lieven, my goal is to control 4 to 6 snapshots by the Chocolate, leaving the dwarf in the tuner/tap tempo mode. Frankly I donāt know if it is possible but Iāll check it out next days
I was able to browse through 4 snapshots with the 4 buttons, with the first button being the first snapshot.
Havenāt tried to use it as a āupā and ādownā control in the list of snapshots (in case there are more than 4.
It has a USB A port indeed, as well as a B. The A is the one you use to connect the Chocolate (with the supplied cable) or a USB hub. The B is for the connection to the computer.

You can actually browse more than 4 snapshots with your current setting. On the Chocolate, press F (C+D) to access the next bank of 4 buttons and E (A+B) to go to the previous one.
Lāho appena ricevutoā¦ ti confermo che il cavo che arriva insieme al pedale ĆØ quello da usare
Just received, I can also confirm that the cable arrived with Chocolate is the one to use for the connection between Dwarf and Chocolate
et voilĆ , it started working flawlessly! 1A recall snapshot n. 1 on the specific pedalboardās snapshot list, 2B ss n. 2, 2A ss n. 5 and so on
Awesome! Now I can gigginā with it
Thank you guys
I leave the Dwarf in Tap Tempo mode and flip it to the Tuner just pressing Dwarfās A switch
Helpful
Nice pedalborad! It is tiny and powerfull. And Chocolate is also very small, thus, transportable. I like you set-up.
Thanks Kim
And differently from Headrush Pedalboard and Ampero I own and use too, I appreciate the analog feeling, tone, real amp kind of dynamic response the Bulava preamp delivers
Not to mention the joy to immediately modify the tones just reaching all the pots on it (no enter, change setting, save, exit menus you know)
I need to change the directionā¦ better invert the data sent by expression oedal connected to Chocolate.
Actually he sent 0 when itās down and 127 on up (or the opposite I donāt gave the device in front of me)
This is because I must replicatw the same movemt of my real whammy, but on chicokate itās opposite.
Also I know the now itās possible to do internally in the app butā¦ well Iām new (or quite) in midi command.
Can someone help meā¦Iām using chanbel 16ā¦
Thanks
I recall that i had the same problem, and that this feature is available, but only in āadvanced custom modeā.
You will need range 127-0 instead of default 0-127 for that:
Thanks, it worksā¦
Just to let you knowā¦ the same page is present in Custom Mode but it doesnāt works
@jon and all
I have another question. Itās strange but probably this is a limit of Chocolate or of the midi connection.
Iāve assigned the expression pedal to the whammy plugin, it correctly work now and also I have saved the configuration in the User setup.
When I load the whammy plugin in a pedalboard the setup is on default and not the saved oneā¦ if I recall the User saved setup, all the data are correctly recalled BUT NOT the midi assignment. I must press the double arrow, select midi and moving the expression pedal, after that the correct assignment is completed.
NOTE: this happens with all the plugin I have tested (wah-wah, volume control, etc.)
There is something wrong?
@Rino2 did I get it well that this happens when you drop a new time whammy (or any other effect) in a new pedalboard or simply another instance of it?
If yes, that is expected behavior since the assignments are not done on a plugin basis, yet on a pedalboard basis. So if you create a new pedalboard using plugins that youāve used and assign controllers for it before, you will need to do it again.
@jon
Thanks,
I thought that saving an user setup saved the selected pedal or knob as well as the parameters
Just got myself a Chocolate, too.
Nice little toy and quite nice for that ridicoulously low price.
I have an addition to the great instructions by @SrMouraSilva :
A little change in the section āControl an effect with the MIDI and the Mod Dwarf Footswitchā makes it possible to use both controls independently:
Set the CV logic Operator to āXORā instead of āORā.
(This means output is āonā only when exactly one of the two āControl to CVā is on and the other is off, and output is āoffā when both Control to CV are āonā or both are āoffā.)
Now any press of either the Dwarf footswitch or the Chocolate Switch will toggle the state of the controlled plugin.
Of course the problem of missing visual feedback remains, but we had that before anywayā¦
@Casanunda this is a great idea!
I have a chocolate too. I use it for switching snapshots with program change commands. The chocolate is in program change mode.
The program change command is send when I release the foot switch of the chocolate. Has anybodyelse this behavior too? Does anybody know, if it is possible to send program change commands directly with a down press of a foot switch of the chocolate?
Tankās
In advanced custom mode, set the footswitch option to āMode: Step short or step longā, this allow you to set messages on step on and step off, just leave de step off empty.
Best,
