Are they 3 different expression pedals?

Looks like expression controlled effects to me, wah, whammy, who knows?View attachment 7413005

Well on the Instagram post Darkglass said to increase the brightness and look closer... so I did!
They look like expression pedals to me. New Midi functionality? Whammy and Wah blocks?
edit: and of course I was beat by like 30 minutes...

This works like a charm!
Keep the USB interface useful (to PC, MIDI controller, etc.), even when using a PowerBank!
And, if your Powerbank has an on/off switch, so now your Anagram does as well.

Something that many people seem to completely ignore is to go over the tutorial that pops up when you boot up the unit for the 1st time.
Since you bought it 2nd hand, you can revisit it by tapping the three dots on the top right corner and then tapping on tutorial
Sounds a lot like reading the manual and as you know……
Random feedback: this is a relatively minor gripe but I dislike the implementation for scene mode where it requires you to hit the "controlling active scene"/"controlling all scenes" button at the top. I thought I'd get used to it but 2 months in I'm still finding that it's too easy to forget to toggle back and then clear your settings for other scenes.
I strongly prefer the Helix setup where you push the knob when turning to assign a parameter as scene-specific (and afterwards just turn it normally and it remains scene-specific).
@IvanBassist any chance we could at least get different colours for "Controlling active scene" vs "Controlling all scenes" so it's easier to tell when quickly editing a preset? I feel a bit silly advocating for colour-coding something so I don't have to read 3 words, but it seems like a pretty easy win for the UI when I'm looking somewhere else on the screen.

I know what you mean.
I know about the setting.
I use the setting for tweaking parameters on all Scenes vs current Scene (as intended).
I still occasionally screw up and overlook which 'mode' I'm in and inadvertently a change for a specific Scene gets applied to all Scenes.
Aside from "paying better attention" and "slow down and check", I'd love to see any changes that help me distinguish which mode I'm in. I'm not sure what that might look like because there is no 'edit mode' per se.
Oh yes, that would be very helpful. I am also tweaking all scenes or only the active scene too often. A color scheme would be nice

I guess we can be assured that this Expression Pedal definitely works with the Anagram!

Yes, @IvanBassist says so in the video
New Expression Pedal Blocks for the new hardware too. I wonder what the difference is between the Volume Pedal and the Gain block mapped to expression. Seems like they are the same thing, except the Volume Pedal block auto maps to Expression?
Seems simple enough and sound great. Smart idea to add an 2nd path with an octave below underneath that pitch shifter up tone. Thanks for the video Ivan.
Only.. Not that it'll be hard to do I imagine, but I am missing the parameter change feature on the 'volume pedal' in the video. @IvanBassist, will that be for a separate video or was the video @warptheory posted unfinished when he found it?

Sorry, not following. What do you mean exactly?
The bound parameter settings at 6:16 min (and a few other places) into your video. You have it set to volume. I like how you use that. But can you also control effect parameters with it? Like the gain increase on the SVT amp block. I suppose that if you wish to increase the gain you'll need to make a macro to lower the volume at the same time. Can that be controlled by the pedal? Or a parameter on a filter? I'm just thinking of things to do with an expression pedal.
Maybe I'm making the wrong assumption, but it saying 'bound parameter' implies there's more you can control than just volume.
If I missed something, my bad. I was just curious.

Yes. You can bind different parameters to the Expression Binding, just like a regular Binding as seen on the Binding screen
So user error. Mine in this case. My bad.Yes. You can bind different parameters to the Expression Binding, just like a regular Binding as seen on the Binding screen
So it's just a matter of adding the pedal block before the effect and bind it to the selected feature. Easy enough. Thank you
Does it work the same with macro's? In my SVT example above, would the macro (assuming I already have one) simply show up as something I can bind to the pedal like any other parameter on that block?
