Hi there, I have encountered a bug that I have detailed in this unlisted YouTube video, I have also uploaded a program that hopefully allows the Eventide team to more quickly see the issue for themselves.
The issue is that wherever the ‘manual shift’ setting is set in a preset or program, when the preset or program is loaded, the algorithm internally sets the ‘manual shift’ setting to -1 even when the display says it is at +1 or elsewhere.
I’m trying to mimic the classic/chords mode switch on my Whammy V pedal so I can replace it with the H90 while also using the B preset for echo or whatever.
My idea was to have two programs, one with Pitchflex to represent the classic mode and one with Polyflex to represent the chords mode.
I also talk about a second issue in my video which is less of a bug and more of a feature request.
That is, I believe that if an expression pedal is assigned to a parameter in a program and the program is loaded, the expression pedal input should read/sense the position of the expression pedal where it is at the time the program is loaded. Otherwise there is a discrepancy between the expression pedal position and the parameter which can only be fixed by changing the position of the expression pedal so that the parameter will jump to the correct value.
I hope these issues can be addressed in a future update. I really like the vibe of this pedal but there are a few issues like this that make it so that for every issue in my current pedal set up it solves, it throws up several other issues. I’m hoping eventually this pedal can be the centre piece of my pedalboard and allow me to make a smaller and more portable set up.
I watched the video, and I ‘believe’ I know what you’re running into. The GRUMBLE_BULB Program was saved with your expression pedal out of position. That point in the treadle throw is also saved, and reloads with the Program. Any subsequent pedal motion jumps to its current position.
You can test out my theory:
Load the Program, and don’t do anything else to it.
Put the expression pedal exactly where you want it to load (full Toe, if I recall).
Re-Save the Program.
Switch to another Program, then back to GRUMBLE_BULB.
