Pedal Pitch in 4.0.1 not as smooth as it used to be

    As I mentioned in another thread, I found that the pedal pitch effect is not as smooth as it used to be.
    I control the pitch via MIDI CC#4 with a Roland FC-3300.
    Can someone reproduce this?


    I recorded a short comparison. First part is on 4.0.1, second on 3.3.0. Even though I think you recognize the issue better while playing, I can hear a difference between those two examples.
    What do you guys think?

    ... well, interesting - after installing version 4 I thought the wha sweep hasn't been as smooth as it was before (I'm using a Mission EP1-KP for wha/vol)... firstly I thought it had to do with the calibration of the expression pedal, but calibrating it hasn't made a difference ... with that experience (the wha sweep kind of reflects the 'choppy' sweep of you whammy example) & after listening to your comparison I agree something has changed ... hopefully an easy fix ;)

    Agreed definite difference in the two examples ...haven't tried it on my studio kemper (which has 4.01)


    Maybe there is a connection with the problem I wrote in the thread " Vol-Pedal function in Vers 4.0? "
    Something seems to be different with the pedal controls

    From what i hear it is some kind of fixed steps of pitch like transpose from -24 to +24).It remains me early computer game sound.
    In fact now it sounds more like real whammy :)
    I think that it will be good to have both options (smooth / fixed steps).


    I don't agree. The Whammy pedal pitch doesn't have steps, at least the Whammy IV doesn't.
    I haven't had the luck to get my hands to a Whammy I yet.

    Yes, I already contacted support.
    I wonder, if this problem occurs for everyone or if it just happened with my Kemper.
    Can someone else please try this out has already done that?


    Anyone? Come on, guys...
    If you're in 4.0 and use a midi expression pedal (I guess there are many FCB1010 users) , just put the pedal pitch in any slot and listen, how it sounds..

    I have the first 4 beta loaded and don't hear that stepped pedal pitch.


    .I tried pedal pitch with 4.01. (Pedal connected at Remote)
    By moving the pedal very slow I heard that the tone changes in halfton steps but with no transient behavior.
    Obviously my ear (of course the brain) considered it almost as a continuously change. (depending on speed)
    In praxis - for me it would be close enough to use it as a slide.

    If you want, try to connect the Expression Pedal directly to the KPA (Pedal 1 insert) and see if that makes a difference. I tried that at the weekend and I have found that the Exp Pedal directly to the KPA doesen't work as smoothly as it does when it's directly connected to the KPA. I could also see that on the system page with the pedal calibration or in morph-rigs.

    What is the difference of this 2 cases?


    Well, I am not certain, of course, because I haven't developed the KPA and its remote. But there is a difference of course, because the values from the expression pedal conncected to the remote have to be sent to the KPA througth the network cable first, before the data can be processed. Just try and see if that makes a difference for you.
