The Wahoo uses class-compliant USB. This means it doesn't need a special driver, but it still needs to use the driver built-in to the operating system. So, when you first connect a Wahoo (or other Sonuus USB product) to your computer it will ask to install drivers. Allow this to happen so you can use it. If you connect to a different USB port, it may ask you again for drivers. This is normal.

The pitch tracking mode is really unadapted to bass guitar, and even when I invert the frequencies it does not change anything at all...
I'm disapointed about the poor development about this marvelous FX pedals... Analog sound with digital control the future of sound for our instruments but it need to be better developed...

Pitch tracking works very well with bass, maybe you have something set wrongly?

For lowest frequency tracking, make sure "instrument" is set to "4-string bass" or "5-string bass" in the setup |settings page of the editor.

If you still have problems, post your preset file here and we'll look to see why its not working.

I test today the wahoo!
Good news the midi sync work with the wahoo and the step mode is really better with your update! I find a little bug when i change div'n the new parametre is changed but if i change div'n with the pedal parameter on, i have to push and hold the pedal to hear the difference.
When i save a preset, is it normal that the destination preset stay empty when i choose him. I think it was not like this before it's too bad because if they are wrong and we choose a preset bad we did not realize. it's the same on the voluum!
Similarly I find it unfortunate that is not a message when you save a preset to another.

I can't reproduce this, or I misunderstand what you mean. If I set the div to be pedal controlled with lo = "x1" and hi = "x2", then at around half-way the div changes between x1 and x2.

This is a bug, and a strange one. It didn't do this in the debug test builds of the editor. And it doesn't seem to be doing it in the latest release builds. I have not been able to reproduce it, other than in the installer version. I can only assume there was a problem with the build when the last installers were built. In that case, it should be fixed in the next update. The Voluum editor is the same (both editors have had similar updates).

This would be nice. The problem is the editor doesn't know if you have something saved in the target preset or not. It has no concept of "empty preset". However, it could use the short name "---" as an indication that nothing is stored there and not issue the warning in this case. I think that would be good enough.

No it's not that.
If i change the div when the check box pedal is set off i hear the change directly. it's ok!
If i change the div low when the check box is set on and the pedal is in low position. I have to move the pedal in high position and return it in low position to hear the change.

Yes, I understand.

The applied div does update immediately when editing on the Wahoo's control panel. And I have confirmed it doesn't do so on the editor. The reason is subtle, and it is hard to change this. The firmware knows when the div parameter has been changed when the control panel is used, but always know which parameter has changed when the editor is used. Updating the div is not like updating some other parameters and needs to be done carefully.

In other words, it's not a simple fix, unfortunately.

Ok i understand. It's not a big problem.

Like i ask you in the voluum section what about a phase knob for midi sync mode is it possible.. And sorry to be so obstinate but what about the two lfo in parallele? ;)
