Chase Bliss Generation Loss MKII — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Chase Bliss Generation Loss MKII from your browser — MIDI control reference, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Explore the Generation Loss MKII controls in your browser and connect compatible MIDI hardware to send settings to your pedal. The reference below shows the controls mapped in Nitelite; available functions depend on the pedal and firmware. The default MIDI channel in Nitelite is 2. Browser MIDI control works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

Control	MIDI CC	Description
WOW	CC 14	Slow, smooth, random pitch modulation depth. Classic tape-style motion.
VOLUME	CC 15	Wet signal output level. Noon=unity, max=2x boost. When ramping, controls speed.
MODEL	CC 16	MKII: steps through tape machine models. CLASSIC: low-pass filter cutoff.
FLUTTER	CC 17	Fast twitchy random modulation affecting amplitude and pitch
SATURATE	CC 18	MKII: magnetic saturation. CLASSIC: sample rate reduction (GEN).
FAILURE	CC 19	MKII: tape malfunctions (snags, drops, crinkles). CLASSIC: high-pass filter.

Alt / Secondary Knob Functions

Control	MIDI CC	Description
HISS LVL	CC 27	Sets hiss noise component level independently
MECH NOISE	CC 28	Sets mechanical noise level independently
CRINKLE	CC 29	Sets crinkle and pop level in FAILURE effect
AUX ONSET	CC 24	How quickly AUX effects set in when activated

Switches

Switch	MIDI CC	Positions
AUX	CC 21	STOP / FAIL / FILTER
DRY	CC 22	NONE / SMALL / UNITY
NOISE	CC 23	OFF / MED / HIGH

DIP Switches — RAMP / EXPRESSION

Control	MIDI CC	Description
WOW	CC 61	Enable ramping/expression control for WOW knob
FLUTTER	CC 62	Enable ramping/expression control for FLUTTER knob
SAT/GEN	CC 63	Enable ramping/expression control for SATURATE/GEN knob
FAILURE/HP	CC 64	Enable ramping/expression control for FAILURE/HP knob
MODEL/LP	CC 65	Enable ramping/expression control for MODEL/LP knob
BOUNCE	CC 66	Bounce mode (continuous LFO) vs Ramp (one-shot movement)
RANDOM	CC 67	Random waveform for bounce movement instead of triangle
SWEEP	CC 68	Sweep direction: Bottom (B, knob=min) or Top (T, knob=max)

DIP Switches — CUSTOMIZE

Control	MIDI CC	Description
POLARITY	CC 71	Ramp polarity: Forward (F) or Reverse (R)
CLASSIC	CC 72	Classic Mode: original CooperFX Generation Loss sound and features
MISO	CC 73	Mono In, Stereo Out: splits mono signal into stereo image
SPREAD	CC 74	Stereo processing. MKII: malfunctioning stereo from FAILURE. CLASSIC: smooth panning from WOW.
DRY TYPE	CC 75	Saturated dry blend: applies all effects except WOW/FLUTTER to dry signal
DROP BYP	CC 76	Bypass drops (volume manipulation) from FAILURE effect
SNAG BYP	CC 77	Bypass snags (pitch warping) from FAILURE effect
HUM BYP	CC 78	Bypass mechanical noise from NOISE toggle

Footswitches

AUX — CC 103, hold: CC 105
BYPASS — CC 102, hold: CC 104

Special MIDI Functions

Expression — CC 100
DSP Bypass Mode — CC 26. Switches between true analog bypass (off) and DSP bypass (on), which keeps the DSP active for trails and faster preset recall.
Ramp/Bounce — CC 52. Enables or disables the ramp/bounce movement for parameters assigned in the RAMP/EXPRESSION DIP bank.
Ramp Speed — CC 20. Controls how fast the ramp or bounce movement travels between the start and end positions.
Input Gain — CC 32. Sets the input sensitivity: 1 = Line level, 2 = Instrument level (default), 3 = High gain.
Center Switch — CC 106. Triggers the center aux switch, equivalent to physically pressing the center footswitch.
Right Switch — CC 107. Triggers the right aux switch, equivalent to physically pressing the right footswitch.
