Molten MIDI 5

Programmable Stompbox Whammy 5 Controller

by Molten Voltage

Have you ever wondered what your Whammy hears when it dreams?

Molten MIDI 5™ by Molten Voltage is a Programmable MIDI Stompbox that offers five original new ways to control the Digitech Whammy 5™.

Molten MIDI 5 lets you hear notes that aren't normally available on the Whammy and sequence them into elegant harmonies and improbable riffs which can automatically loop or change each time you press the button.

Molten MIDI 5 can also double as a synchronized MIDI Clock source for your MIDI devices.

• "Wow! Molten MIDI turns the Digitech Whammy into a step sequencer and reveals an almost limitless number of sounds and effects."

• "A great way to stimulate new musical ideas."

• "Also allows you to choose original Whammy presets without having to bend over and turn knobs."

• "The Digitech Whammy pedal is one of the coolest stomp boxes ever, but Molten Voltage has figured out a way to make it even cooler."

• "The Molten MIDI 2 produces effects a Whammy pedal can't produce on its own."

• "The synth-like sequencer effects greatly increase a Whammy pedal's versatility and provide unique 16-step patterns that even sophisticated pitch shifters like the Eventide Pitch Factor and DigiTech TimeBender can't duplicate."

• "The sliding portamento effects are especially cool and worth the pedal's price on their own."

• "Molten MIDI gives the Whammy new life and provides hours of creative inspiration."

Molten MIDI 5 stores 19 programs at a time, that are created manually or using our free computer-based Programming Utility.

The Programmer lets you trade files and share favorite loops and settings!

The free Programming Utility can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Easy to Use!

Programs are selected using the footswitches and are indicated using the Whammy's own LEDs. The Whammy works normally when Molten MIDI 5 isn't sending data.

Programs come in 5 different types and can be up to 16 steps each:

• Loop Portamento programs cycle through sequences of virtual expression pedal positions. "Portamento" means you hear the Whammy "slide" from one step to the next, rather than "jump", as if the expression pedal is moving.

• Loop, No Portamento programs are just like the Portamento version, except Whammy doesn't "slide" from one position to another, it "jumps".

• Step Portamento programs step through sequences of virtual expression pedal positions each time the Step button is pressed. As the Whammy changes to a new "virtual" position, you hear it "slide" up or down to the new position.

• Step, No Portamento programs are just like the Portamento version, except Whammy doesn't "slide" from one position to another each time Step is pressed, it "jumps".

• Different Settings programs step through selected Whammy settings each time the Step button is pressed. The virtual position of the expression pedal is not affected.

MIDI Sync!

When configured in Whammy & Clock mode, Molten MIDI 5 sends synchronized MIDI Clock data whenever a Loop is playing. You can use the MIDI Clock output to control sequencers, drum machines, and other MIDI-based effects like the BOSS Slicer [SL-20].

What's more, Molten MIDI 5 sends parallel Program Change and Song Select data to keep all your MIDI devices on the same page.

Daisy chain your Whammy to the MIDI Thru on any other MIDI device that passes unchanged information appearing at its MIDI IN jack from Molten MIDI 5.
