SWINDLER
MIDI Configuration
This pedal can be completely controlled with an external MIDI controller. Control Change messages can
alter any control parameter and Program Change messages can access additional presets.
TO SET YOUR PEDAL UP FOR MIDI OPERATION:
1. HARDWARE:
2. SOFTWARE:
Power the pedal on while holding the TAP and BYPASS footswitches.
Hold them both for a few seconds.
Release them to begin operation in MIDI MODE.
3. CABLING:
This pedal receives MIDI commands over a 1/4” TRS connection. This connection is wired in accordance
with the 5-Pin DIN to TRS MIDI wiring protocol established by the MIDI Association
.
The EASIEST way to plug this pedal up to other midi devices
would be to use our custom (and super pedalboard friendly)
MIDI cable available in our store. These are built and
provided to us by SINASOID for a great quality cable. They
have the 1/4” TRS jack on one end for this pedal and a
standard 5-Pin DIN connector on the other end to connect
to other MIDI devices.
This pedal CAN be controlled via a simple TRS cable from
other controllers that are equipped with TRS MIDI outputs. This is assuming the controller TRS MIDI output
is wired in accordance with the MIDI Association standard. You will have to consult those product
manuals / specifications on a product by product basis. Some cases may require a custom TRS cable with
the TIP and RING connections swapped on ONE end
.
An internal jumper needs to be
changed to disconnect the TRS
Expression Jack from the expression
circuitry and connect it to the MIDI
Input circuitry. This jumper is located
on the elevated control circuit PCB,
right next to the TRS Expression Jack
connection. The jumper is labelled on
the PCB as “E/M”. The pedal is set up
for EXPRESSION control if the jumper
is on the LEFT two sets of pins. The
pedal is set up for MIDI control if the
jumper is on the RIGHT two sets of
pins.
This must be set correctly or
EXPRESSION / MIDI wonʼt work.
