Thanks Scott, as ever, very informative. This will help me with my live set up. I’ve been gigging with the Ampero into a Headrush 108 speaker since lockdown ended here in the UK. This will give me more access to the signal chain in a patch. Thanks for posting and I look forward to what else this little gem can do.

@@OscarSL80 not sure if you managed to work it out on your own yet, but I got mine today and have been scratching my head most of the day trying to figure it out. might not be the full story, but I think I'm onto something... in the Hotone app, when you add/edit a control to one of the switches (using the plus button or clicking the box to edit it), there are two data numbers--Data 1 is the MIDI CC channel, I think...Data 2 is the MIDI value (0-127) you want to send. that Data 2 option was really unintuitive to figure out for me. if you're sending a 0 or 1 or something like that for Data 2, chances are it's not going to actually do anything--especially if you're trying to select or toggle something. when I started entering a 127 in that field, it was doing what I wanted it to--in my case, switching to a desired macro variation in Ableton Live. you also have to make sure to save your changes via the Save button in the upper right of the app in order for your changes to get sent through. if you want to set a parameter to a particular value, you first need to figure out the MIDI value of the setting you want (on that 0-127 scale), then just set up the trigger to send that value in the Data 2 field in the app. an example of this is I wanted to set a knob to a value of 10 out of 127, so in the app I entered '10' into the Data 2 field. one other thing is, use the Single mode in the app to select a value (e.g. you have multiple different patches assigned to different switches and each switch takes you to the associated patch--pressing the same switch twice won't do anything additional)...to set up a toggle (e.g. record arm a track, and use the same switch to un-arm), use the Toggle mode and set up the A Group with Data 2 = 0 and B Group with Data 2 = 127, or vice-versa, depending on how you want it to work. here are the settings for one of the entries in the Hotone app for one of the controls I set up successfully: - Channel = Omni - Type = CC - Data 1 = 27 (don't think this matters as long as it's unique from other switches and banks you're using--unless you want it to overlap on purpose, of course) - Data 2 = 127 (you can use anything above 64 for a toggle on message--or set the specific value you want if it's not a select/ toggle) - Output To = USB (obviously you'll set this according to your connection type--if in doubt, I think you can choose all three--USB+MIDI+Bluetooth) hopefully this helps someone else. it doesn't seem too difficult to grasp once you understand what that Data 2 piece is for, but the documentation doesn't do a great job of explaining it, so it can kind of leave you guessing how to get it working.

Thank you for your video. I have always stayed away from MIDI because of my fear of the unknown. I just ordered this very controller hoping to add some additional functionality to a Beatbuddy I very recently purchased. My time is very limited due to family (Family first in my book!). I now realize that I will need to spend more time learning than actually playing. Time is a very valuable thing as I get older but I hope to be able to get things set up to be able to play some tunes. So if you happen to have any info on hooking up and setting functions for the Beatbuddy, I'd greatly appreciate it. Many, many thanks again, Pedal Guy!!! Stay well!

The display is far too small to read onstage and the choice of blue LEDs was bad as they are hard to read on a stage due to UV they emit and their brightness.. Should have had a large RED or GREEN led segment display. There’s gid reason why BOSS use red and Voodoo Labs use Green in there controllers, Also there are no LEDs above each footswitch either so you don’t know where you are. I had very high hopes for this product but it’s unuseable live due to someone thinking a small digit blue led display looked cool but never thought how it would work on a stage.. You can’t use it live without bending down to read the little blue display then deciphering what the display actually means and memorising which switch is active due to no led above each switch. Very easy to get lost because of the bad display and absence of LEDs above the switches. Great product otherwise, the whole concept is great, it’s very easy to use, set up etc and app is great. But get rid of the little blue display and put a big red or green digit display that shows which “Bank No” you’re at (not what PC# you’re sending out) and let the led above the switch tell you the patch number you’re on, and fit each switch with a RED or GREEN led above the switches. Pedal manufacturers are obsessed with blue LEDs these days and blue leds make everything very hard to use live. It either blinds you or you can’t read it because it looks fuzzy due to the UV light that blue LEDs emit.

@@ThePedalGuy thank you for responding 😊 i want to connect to an Ampero 2 the ampero switch pedal and an expression pedal like the Ampero Soultone 2 and use both at the same time (the switch to go up and down patched and the soultone as a wah pedal). Is this possible?

Do you know anything about midi clock specifically and how to sync up devices? I am aware the Ampero Control does not have midi clock, but can i use this to then control the Ampero II Stomp (which does have midi clock), and then use the midi clock of the Stomp to send a clock signal to the Collider and sync those devices up that way. In short: Does the midi clock of the modeller negate this not having midi clock?
@ThePedalGuy2 жыл бұрын
That should work as the Ampero control would be routed to the midi in on the Ampero while the midi out on the Ampero would send out midi clock

I'm building a rack for wet dry wet. I'm putting all my dry effects stomp pedals and my wet pedals in drawers in the rack that are connected to two separate switches, one dry one wet. The switches are voodoo lab gcx that are midi. Can this foot switch controller work with the switches? I was thinking 2 separate midi controller pedals one dry one for wet.

Hey Scott, great video! I'm am hoping to use this controller to switch between FX/Presets in Bias FX 2. If you have any time, I'd greatly appreciate your assistance. I'm missing something and it's becoming a bit frustrating. Thanks!

Hi Jesse. Thanks for watching. I’m not sure how much help I would be in this case as I haven’t used bias fx. Does it receive midi messages?

I'm sure it would work. I haven't tried it myself but MIDI is MIDI. So if there's CC messages for the BeatBuddy functions you want, you can map it.

@LucjanM10 ай бұрын
It's working well with RC5, depending on your CC# assigned function, you'd have to choose in the app toggle/momentary/single option for each FS. I haven't tried tap tempo yet, I don't think tap tempo would work, perhaps Temp+ and temp- could work. Also, this MIDI is working well, if you want to control the drum sections, eg. changing variations or patterns
