The E-Whammy is an electronic vibrato system that uses a Hall-effect sensor to detect movement and translate it a control voltage (CV) or into MIDI pitch bend messages, offering precise pitch control without the mechanical complexity of traditional whammy bars.

I’m considering creating an open-source multichannel pitch-to-MIDI converter with 8 audio inputs, one MIDI output, one USB output. This customizable device converts audio signals from multiple sources into MIDI (MPE and MIDI-2) in real time, with minimal latency. Community interest and collaboration are crucial to bring this project to life. If this resonates with you, please join the interest group for discussions and collaborations. Together, we can develop a high-quality, adaptable solution for electric guitars, basses, and other instruments.

We are now back on track. We received the revised boards last week. I must say that PCB manufacturing and assembly have come a long way. The turnaround time is now just about a week, including shipping time. The sustain driver amplifiers are fantastic! After fine-tuning, everything is perfect.

The global chip shortage made it challenging to source components. We had to redesign some modules due to component unavailability. However, when a replacement chip was used, it failed immediately. Luckily, the original chip is now back in stock, allowing us to revert to the original design. The modular structure of the Infinity system simplifies the process, but requires an additional round of PCB assembly.

Creating good documentation takes time. But it’s something I enjoy doing, and so I’ve begun documenting the Q Audio DSP Library. I’m very pleased with how it’s coming along. The library is now officially labeled as 1.0 beta. I am doing this in preparation for the release of the Hz DSP library, which includes my most recent pitch and onset detection algorithms.

After over a year and a half manufacturing the first batch of Thor, we are now approaching the final stage of production. Based on my best estimates, this final phase will probably take another 2 months, setting the target to around early to mid-August.
