Arduino midi footswitcher prototype
Ever since I bought the Whammy effects pedal, I’ve been looking for a good way to change modes on the fly, while playing. The knob on the Whammy is great, but not very accessable mid song. I was thinking of buying a midi stompbox, but those are expensive and I only need basic functionality.
Enter the Arduino! Using the information from this webpage: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/MidiFoot I was able to build my own Whammy mode switcher. Obviously it’s just a prototype right now, but the code works and it works perfectly with the Whammy. The Arduino processes the momentary buttons and sends midi program change next or previous commands to the whammy. Now I will be able to quickly switch whammy modes on the fly.
Next step is to buy a RBBB and put together a nice small stompbox with everything I need.
