Chase Bliss SPECTRE — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

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

Nitelite gives the SPECTRE 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 3). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

ControlMIDI CCDescription
MIXCC 14Wet/dry mix. CW = full flange, CCW = clean with tube-like preamp character. Controls ramp speed when ramping is engaged.
ZEROCC 15Manual delay time / zero point. Through-zero crossing between 1 and 3 o'clock.
REGENCC 16Flange regeneration/intensity. CW = self-oscillation. CCW = subtle chorus.
RATECC 17Rate of flange modulation. Overridden by tap tempo.
WIDTHCC 18Width/depth of flange sweep. CW = deep flange.
SHIFTCC 19Modulation wave skew. CCW = fast up/slow down, CW = slow up/fast down, noon = symmetric.

DIP Switches — CONTROL

ControlMIDI CCDescription
ZEROCC 61Enable ramping/expression control for ZERO knob
REGENCC 62Enable ramping/expression control for REGEN knob
RATECC 63Enable ramping/expression control for RATE knob
WIDTHCC 64Enable ramping/expression control for WIDTH knob
SHIFTCC 65Enable ramping/expression control for SHIFT knob
BOUNCECC 66Ramp mode (off, one-shot) vs Bounce mode (on, back-and-forth)
SWEEPCC 67Sweep direction: Top (T, knob=max) or Bottom (B, knob=min)
POLARITYCC 68Flange polarity: Positive (musical sweep) or Negative (hollow/intense, cancels at zero). Default = Negative.

DIP Switches — CUSTOMIZE

ControlMIDI CCDescription
MOTBYPCC 71Momentary-to-bypass: pedal only active when bypass stomp is pressed
TAP CTRLCC 72Tap controls: R = ramp timing, P = rate parameter
TAP DIVCC 73Tap division bank: off = 1/2/4, on = 3/6/8. Also selects MIDI note divisions.
RISE (Z)CC 74Rise direction for ZERO ramp/expression
RISE (RG)CC 75Rise direction for REGEN ramp/expression
RISE (RT)CC 76Rise direction for RATE ramp/expression
RISE (W)CC 77Rise direction for WIDTH ramp/expression
RISE (S)CC 78Rise direction for SHIFT ramp/expression

Special MIDI Functions

  • Tap Tempo — CC 93
  • Expression — CC 100
  • MIDI Clock — CC 51. Controls whether the pedal listens to incoming MIDI Clock messages. On = listen (default); Off = ignore.
  • Ramp — CC 20. Controls ramp amount. Sending 0 is equivalent to the ramp knob fully counter-clockwise; 127 is fully clockwise.
  • MIDI Note Divisions — CC 21. Sets the tap tempo note division via MIDI. 0 = whole note, 1 = half note, 2 = quarter note triplet, 3 = quarter note, 4 = eighth note, 5 = sixteenth note.

Hardware Presets

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