Chase Bliss BAD MOOD — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Chase Bliss BAD MOOD from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 9 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the BAD MOOD a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 2). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

ControlMIDI CCDescription
TIMECC 14Wet Channel: Soup = decay/size, Relay = delay time, Flip = lag/spacing
MIXCC 15Balance between input signal and BAD MOOD, for both channels at once. Becomes ramp speed when ramping is engaged.
LENGTHCC 16Micro-Looper: Burst = size/speed of each step, Radio = station dependent, Mask = character of the mask
MODIFYCC 17Wet Channel: Soup = character, Relay = number of repeats, Flip = harmony selection
CLOCKCC 18Sets BAD MOOD's sample rate — length and resolution of the Micro-Looper, quality and time of the Wet Channel. Moves in harmonized steps unless SMOOTH is on.
MODIFYCC 19Micro-Looper: Burst = envelope sensitivity, Radio = scans between stations, Mask = threshold

Alt / Secondary Knob Functions

ControlMIDI CCDescription
CROSSCC 24Hidden Option: intensity of the dynamic pitch + amplitude modulation. Source is set by INPUT MOD. Off by default.
BALANCECC 25Hidden Option: relative loudness of the two channels. Even at noon.
FADECC 26Hidden Option: turn down to make loops gradually fade while overdubbing — slowly evolving loops, or the Micro-Looper as a delay.
EQCC 27Hidden Option: two-way global EQ. Clockwise removes low frequencies, counter-clockwise removes highs. No effect at noon.
GLUECC 28Hidden Option: end-of-chain saturator/destroyer applied to both channels. Set low to warm and gel, high to thrash. Low by default.
BLENDCC 29Hidden Option: blends clean micro-loop back in when it is routed through the Wet Channel. None by default (routed loops are 100% wet).

DIP Switches — CONTROL

ControlMIDI CCDescription
TIMECC 61Enable ramping / CV / expression control of the TIME knob
MODIFYCC 62Enable ramping / CV / expression control of the MODIFY (Wet Channel) knob
CLOCKCC 63Enable ramping / CV / expression control of the CLOCK knob
MODIFYCC 64Enable ramping / CV / expression control of the MODIFY (Micro-Looper) knob
LENGTHCC 65Enable ramping / CV / expression control of the LENGTH knob
BOUNCECC 66Off = Ramp (one-time movement when the pedal is turned on). On = Bounce (continuous motion).
SWEEPCC 67Sweep direction: Bottom (knob position sets the minimum of the range) or Top (knob position sets the maximum)
POLARITYCC 68Ramp polarity: Forward (normal) or Reverse (inverted)

DIP Switches — CUSTOMIZE

ControlMIDI CCDescription
MISOCC 71Mono In, Stereo Out — splits a mono input signal into a stereo output
SPREADCC 72Turns on stereo processing. Each mode has its own unique approach to generating a stereo image.
DRY KILLCC 73Removes your clean signal from the output of the pedal, even when bypassed
TRAILSCC 74Allows the effects to naturally fade out after the pedal is bypassed
LATCHCC 75Changes the hold function of each footswitch from momentary to latching, so it stays engaged until held again
HALFCC 76Cuts the loop length in half, matching the response of the original MOOD
SMOOTHCC 77Removes the harmonized stepping effect from the CLOCK knob for fluid adjustment
DRY GLUECC 78Applies GLUE to your dry signal — meshes wet and dry together, or turns BAD MOOD into a standalone stereo saturator with MIX all the way down

Special MIDI Functions

  • Tap Tempo — CC 93
  • MIDI Clock Sync — CC 51. Controls whether BAD MOOD follows incoming MIDI clock. Off = ignore clock, On = follow. Saved globally. MIDI clock is ignored while in Synth Mode.
  • Ramping Active — CC 52. Pause or resume the ramp/bounce movement. Send 0 to stop, any value above 0 to resume.
  • True Bypass Mode — CC 55. Switch between buffered bypass (off, the default — bypassed signal stays completely analog) and true bypass (on). The always-listening looper does not work while true bypass is engaged.
  • Hidden Options — CC 104. Opens or closes the Hidden Options layer — the MIDI equivalent of holding down both footswitches (both LEDs light green).
  • Master Volume — CC 30. Overall output level of the pedal.
  • Sync — CC 31. Hidden Option on the WET MODE toggle. 0-1 = Micro-Looper synced to the Wet Channel (micro-loop length is now set by TIME). 2 = no sync. 3+ = Wet Channel synced to the Micro-Looper (TIME moves in steps rhythmically related to the micro-loop length).
  • Spread Channel — CC 32. Hidden Option on the ROUTING toggle — engages SPREAD on one channel but not the other (e.g. a mono micro-loop passing through a stereo reverb). 0-1 = Wet Channel only, 2 = both channels, 3+ = Micro-Looper only.
  • Input Mod (Cross Source) — CC 33. Hidden Option on the LOOP MODE toggle — selects the modulation source for CROSS. 0-1 = Wet Channel modulates the Micro-Looper, 2 = your input modulates both, 3+ = Micro-Looper modulates the Wet Channel.
  • Micro-Looper Clock Division — CC 53. Clock division when synced to external MIDI clock. 0 = thirty-second, 1 = sixteenth, 2 = eighth triplet, 3 = eighth, 4 = quarter, 5 = half, 6 = dotted half, 7 = whole, 8 = double whole. Saved globally.
  • Wet Channel Clock Division — CC 54. Clock division when synced to external MIDI clock. 0 = thirty-second, 1 = sixteenth, 2 = eighth triplet, 3 = eighth, 4 = quarter, 5 = half, 6 = dotted half, 7 = whole, 8 = double whole. Saved globally.
  • EQ Per Channel — CC 85. Which channels the global EQ applies to. 0-1 = Wet Channel EQ only, 2 = both (default), 3+ = Micro-Looper EQ only.
  • Expression Over MIDI — CC 100. Controls the expression pedal position over MIDI. Affects whichever knobs have their CONTROL dip switch engaged; with none engaged it controls MIX.
  • Synth Output Type — CC 58. How Synth Mode responds to notes. 0 = Open (constantly making sound, like a drone — the default and most intuitive). 1 = On/Off (sounds only while a note is held, instant attack and release). 2+ = ADSR (envelope-shaped onset and fade, the most synth-like response).
  • Synth Octave Transpose — CC 57. Transposes Synth Mode in semitones. 1 = 12 semitones, 2 = 24, 3 = 36, 4 = 48, 5 = 60, 6 = 72, 7 = 84, 8 = 96, 9 = 108. Saved globally.
  • Synth Attack — CC 80. ADSR attack time for Synth Mode (requires Output Type = ADSR).
  • Synth Decay — CC 81. ADSR decay time for Synth Mode (requires Output Type = ADSR).
  • Synth Sustain — CC 82. ADSR sustain level for Synth Mode (requires Output Type = ADSR).
  • Synth Release — CC 83. ADSR release time for Synth Mode (requires Output Type = ADSR).
  • Synth Portamento — CC 84. Glide time between Synth Mode notes. 0 = no glide.
  • Factory Reset — CC 56. Reset all settings to factory defaults. This cannot be undone.
  • MIDI Reset — CC 110. Resets the MIDI globals: ignore MIDI clock off, octave transpose +3 octaves, clock division to quarter note, portamento off, gate mode off.
  • Exit Synth Mode — CC 59. Leaves Synth Mode and returns to normal operation. Send any value. Equivalent to turning the CLOCK knob on the pedal.

Hardware Presets

The BAD MOOD has 122 hardware preset slots. Nitelite can save your current settings to a slot and recall slots via MIDI program change.
