Hi! Im glad to hear that you can find device interesting.

If you’ve got an Expression Pedal then it’s amazing.
Yes. If you have any pedal like Expression or Volume pedal you can use it..
But there can be some problem. You must have Expression pedal input in your setup.
Some hardware synths, pedals with usb, other hardware - can have onboard Expression input. But.. sometimes - only pedal on hands is not enough to wrk at PC/Mac.. Because you can need MIDI-> USB converter.
As example, year ago I bought very budget expression pedal NEKTAR NX-P ($19.99).. But its midi pedal (1/4 jack).
With some trick, if you have this expression pedal, or may be Volume pedal...
All you need to run it into REASON (or other DAW) - just MIDI -> USB converter.
I try to find ready box, its not cheap. But I found article about ARDUINO based converter, from KUASSA site.
Just bought Arduino Leonardo (Due) - clone price about $10. And upload into it Arduino sketch. Connect wires of 1/4 input stereo jack (GND, SIGNAL, +5V) and you have ready USB converter that work stable into Reason (for me as "Arduino Leonardo")
Im attach Manual to DOC section of product page about this. You can add some knobs, buttons, faders to the box. Its simple, and you can have own midi controller for very small price.

You can also find projects how to use Volume pedal in this way too.

The latest Digitechs have got the lift and drop feature but Turn2on have got that one covered as another RE as well.
Digitech Whammy V is actual 5th generation of pedal.
Yes, when we start to create Whammy, long time think about version of Whammy DT. This is the same pedal, that include DT section (Drop Tune)..
And we start from DT part as Drop'n'Lift RE. At first stage this is been simple transpose clone with semitones, to transpose guitar without need to change strings tune..
Early concept:
But idea of make it more interesting help to us create Drop'n'Lift more creative. We add two parallel transpose lines A/B with various modes (A, B, AvsB, Glitch, Pan, M/S..)...
And of course add granular to simple functional of Whammy in GHAMMY RE. Not have needs to emulate it totally. Just trying to make it more interesting.

is that a “touch” feature—as in, you set the pitch bend amount, and how fast you want it to change, then instead of using an expression pedal, you click the button and it glides up or down to that pitch? so like a traditional stompbox rather than a foot controller?
Understand about what you talk. Its called Momentary pitch button. You can find this effect into another Digitech pedal world:
Ricochet
Simple SPDT switch button, that activate pitch to the selected position... Small version of whammy..
I try to test it at near time...
But at this moment you can create Combinator, and set Button to the Expression, set Off (Expression = 0), On (Expression=100). This button activate pitch values from default minimum to the selected pitch level by GHAMMY sub-mode..
You can say, that this variant create jump, not slide of pitch... But, you can simply use Resolution grains size to set sound smoothy in various Mutation modes... it can work perfectly!

Love how you've even included a spare guitar pick - I'm always loosing picks!
Im very love various picks too, its why GHAMMY have it onboard))

the drop/lift RE? I figured you could do all that with this one, since the “expression pedal” is pretty conspicuous in the UI.
Drop'n'Lift not the same functional device.. DNL = Transpose utility (DropTune for strings). In other words, with this device, you can set semi-tones (half-tones).. Only jump from one semitone, to another.. JUMP. Its only transposition of incoming signal.
You can know that Whammy DT, include main Whammy V functional + DropTune section.. DNL = DropTune (DT).
GHAMMY - is a pitch-shifter + harmoniser. Expression pedal - work as pitch bending. You not jump (like DNL) from 0 to 12 semi.. You can slide with 0.0001 semitones... Its not the same. Also, 5 mutation modes change the sound of pitch slides.. Various sounds of active pitches..
Anyway, DNL (DropTune) cant make the same what DHAMMY can do.

So nice to see two skins supported. And nobody even had to riot to make that happen. I wish more REs did this. GUI is important.
Im understand, that not all users know/love original Whammy pedal colours. Red also can be not usable for some users..
Im try to find all red REs in shop and understand, that colour selection for this kind of colour need selectable skin.
