I like it!
It tracks better than polar, and just as good as the kilohearts pitch shifter.
I didn't test chords though...
This should work great for people with an expression pedal.

Yeah, I've got all their stuff too. I've got a hardware Digitech Whammy DT too

Instantly bought before even demo'ing. It's fantastic. Doesn't add heaps of latency like Polar or just about any other pitch shifter I've used. Also appears to fully bypass correctly at 12 o clock, am I right in thinking that? Handles polyphony really nicely too. Even sustained piano chords! Only comment is that it appears to initialise with start and end pitch set to +1, so it's very ugly sounding by default. Maybe change it to be -12 / +12?
**Just to edit after actually trying it out with guitar; I think there MAY be some slight difference between bypassed and on with the pitch control set in the middle. I can't quite figure out what but, it's not a huge deal. I think I would probably automat the wet-dry balance or effect bypass state for sections where I want the whammy to be. If I'm incorrect though or imagining it, please feel free to correct!
No exaggeration though that this is probably the best pitch shifting plugin I own. It's playable, my 8 string (F#) sounds amazing like, 4, 5 semitones down. Nice stop-gap until I get my 9 string haha. Incredible work guys. Thank you so much!

Hi Paul, please see this short screen capture.
Is it about the pedal pitch position and putting it on default middle position?
Cause the double clicking on it, sets it on perfect center and the signal is perfect. Sorry, if I misunderstood something.

Man.....Just saw your PM's
tried a drum loop and
almost confirmed the strange behavior!
Thank you for reporting it! Will dig further!

In short: It uses 2 separate pitch tracking for stereo signals, that's why the L and R tracking are different in phase. We'll add the link parameter in the next update so it works with other signals. Looped drums and so on.
Thanks for the report! Appreciate it!

I have a roland ev-5 expression pedal. I have 2 sustain pedal inputs and a volume pedal input on my midi controller ( M- AUDIO KEYSTATION PRO 88). I've plugged the roland into both sustain pedal inputs and its recognized by the whammo thru midi learn, but when i press the pedal down it only moves the pedal position knob a little from off to about 1 regardless of the preset. When I set up my sustain pedal as the controller for the pedal position knob it just goes from full off to full on regardless of what preset I'm using. What am I doing wrong? Should it be assigned to the pedal position knob of the whammo? Or will it just not work with a keyboard midi controller and synths?

The sustsin pedal inputs operate as on/off switch. 0 or 1. There are sustain pedals with a half step also. What you need is an expression input. That gives you a full 0-127 range. For some reason though there doesn’t seem to be that many MIDI keyboards on the market with an Exp input incorporated . I’ve got one on my Nektar but I had to look at a lot of controllers before I found an Exp.
Have you tried the volume input? That might work.
