WAMPLER METAVERSE

PERFORMING A MIDI JACK SELF-TEST

To perform a MIDI Self Test:
1.  Power off the device, and connect a 3.5mm TRS cable to the  

  MIDI In and Out jacks, connecting them together. 

2.  Holding the tap tempo switch, power on the device. 

3.  If the tempo LED blinks blue, the test was successful, and the  

  MIDI hardware is working properly. 

4.  If nothing happens, press the tempo switch. If the tempo LED  

  blinks red, the MIDI hardware is not working properly (or the  

  TRS cable is malfunctioning)

FULL LIST OF TAPE HEAD CC NUMBERS 

The LEDS in the Preset selector will indicate the binary 

information below: 

1 (decimal) = 0001 (binary) = sixteenth

2 (decimal) = 0010 (binary) = eighth

3 (decimal) = 0011 (binary) = sixteenth

4 (decimal) = 0100 (binary) = dotted eighth

5 (decimal) = 0101 (binary) = dotted sixteenth

6 (decimal) = 0110 (binary) = dotted eighth

7 (decimal) = 0111 (binary) = dotted sixteenth

8 (decimal) = 1000 (binary) = quarter

9 (decimal) = 1001 (binary) = q sixteenth

10 (decimal) = 1010 (binary) = q eighth

11 (decimal) = 1011 (binary) = q sixteenth

12 (decimal) = 1100 (binary) = q dotted eighth

13 (decimal) = 1101 (binary) = q dotted sixteenth

14 (decimal) = 1110 (binary) = q dotted eighth

15 (decimal) = 1111 (binary) = q dotted sixteenth

HINTS & TIPS

To get started really quickly with MIDI, the simplest route is to 

create Presets on the METAVERSE and send PC messages from a 

compatible MIDI controller to select each Preset. This is a good 

way of playing with the power of MIDI without figuring out a 

whole string of CC messages initially; the most control can be 

gained by full mastery of CC messages however. 
This pedal can accept a Global MIDI clock signal. This means 

patches can be created on a MIDI switcher that set the tempo of 

the delay and will override the Delay Time setting of the pedal if 

sent. To get to the right Millisecond setting for any given delay 

it is possible to divide the BPM by the Subdivision. There are 

websites that have calculators that take all the hard work out of 

these calculations like:  

https://tomhess.net/Tools/DelayCalculator.aspx 
Be aware that sending MIDI clock signal can create noise on gain 

based MIDI pedals as it is a constant pulse of data.
If connecting this to another Wampler pedal that uses MIDI use 

a 3.5mm TRS -> TRS cable to connect via MIDI between the two 

pedals.
Reverb pedals should generally be placed after the METAVERSE 

in an effects loop.
This pedal may cause intense amounts of practice and 

wonderment. 
The wearing of a cape and flared jeans when using certain 

settings is optional.
