Chase Bliss Billy Strings Wombtone — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

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

Nitelite gives the Billy Strings Wombtone 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
FEEDCC 14Feedback intensity, makes phase effect more resonant. Controls ramp speed when ramping is engaged.
VOLUMECC 15Output loudness with internal voltage doubler for substantial boost
MIXCC 16Dry/phase-shifted balance. Noon = classic phasing, 100% = phase vibrato
RATECC 17Speed of the modulation. Range extended 4x slower with SLOW dip switch.
DEPTHCC 18Controls the range of the sweep across frequencies
FORMCC 19Center point of ModuShape waveform, skews for asymmetrical motion

DIP Switches — CONTROL

ControlMIDI CCDescription
FEEDCC 61Enable ramping/expression control for FEED knob
RATECC 62Enable ramping/expression control for RATE knob
DEPTHCC 63Enable ramping/expression control for DEPTH knob
FORMCC 64Enable ramping/expression control for FORM knob
BOUNCECC 65Bounce mode: parameters modulate back and forth continuously instead of ramp-and-hold
SLOWCC 66Extends RATE knob range to 4x slower for sprawling sweeps
SWEEPCC 67Sweep direction: Bottom (B, knob=min) or Top (T, knob=max)
POLARITYCC 68Ramp polarity: Forward (F) or Reverse (R)

DIP Switches — CUSTOMIZE

ControlMIDI CCDescription
TAPCC 71LED shows ramp speed instead of tap tempo when engaged
TOGGLECC 72Left toggle controls tap division (1x/2x/4x) instead of stages (2/4/6)
MOTOBYPCC 73Momentary to bypass: pedal only active while footswitch is held
ENVCC 74Envelope control on/off (physical toggle, DIP CC inferred)
RELCC 75Envelope release time (physical toggle, DIP CC inferred)
SENSCC 76Envelope sensitivity (physical toggle, DIP CC inferred)
UNUSEDCC 77Not documented
UNUSEDCC 78Not documented

Footswitches

  • BYPASSbypass on CC 102
  • TAPbypass on CC 93

Special MIDI Functions

  • Tap Tempo — CC 93
  • Expression — CC 100
  • MIDI Clock Ignore — CC 51. When enabled, the pedal ignores incoming MIDI clock and uses its own internal rate. When disabled, RATE syncs to the MIDI clock tempo.
  • Ramp Speed — CC 20. Sets the ramp speed directly via MIDI — how fast the controlled parameter travels from one end of its range to the other when ramping is engaged.

Hardware Presets

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