Update the Firmware on Your Airstep LITE ----- Directly Control Yamaha THR

[@5150show]

Brilliant

[@DrewCreal]

Thank you so much!

[@sabelinho]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@DrewCreal]

Well thanks a lot for saying that!

Received my Airstep Lite today. After 2 1/2 hours, still will not connect. Did update, but it said Airstep/Lite, not the thing you mentioned so I don't know that it actually updated the device. It will not show in my bluetooth devices list. So frustrated. XSonic is on "vacation". UGH. Followed your video to the "T". Very helpful and your videos are great, just isn't working for me.

[@DrewCreal]

Sorry you're having issues. Make sure the THR is updated as well.

[@kc5ohj]

@@DrewCrealApparently it had been used and returned, probably because it was defective. I returned it. I had updated the THR. Oh well, maybe I will try the YT edition.

[@seek4truth]

Is there any way this pedal can be used as a looper? Thanks!

[@DrewCreal]

I don't think you can with the Airstep LITE but you can trigger an existing looper with the regular Airstep. I know that XSonic is working on a looping pedal that should be out soon...

[@billw2809]

hi could you explain the difference and advantages of airstep YT vs Lite? for the yamaha thanks its a bit confusing

[@64cousins]

what do you do when the update fails? and it tells up to restart the app?

[@64cousins]

ah now its working after i switch off the bluetooth on my phone and then switched it back on....

[@CarolDailey]

Thanks for the great content! Some maybe dumb questions... can you download any of the other preset groups that I see in the list to the YT edition (like something that would control music scrolling or KZbin lessons) or can I only download THRII 1, 2, and 3 to the YT? Also, any plans to make it easier to switch modes other than hold down a button and flip the switch in the back? When using buttons that control, say Reverb, does it only toggle on and off with the reverb setting on the knob on the amp, or can I toggle between the different kinds of reverb as well? Finally, (sorry!) do they still make the Lite? It doesn't show up in the store...

[@DrewCreal]

It's my understanding that the YT edition was made specifically for use with the THR and has all the modes pre-loaded into the device when you get it. I don't think you can load any other control features from the Airstep app, but then again, I've never tried. Try connecting yours up and see if it lets you do that. Thanks for watching!

[@billy4643]

@CarolDailey did it work for the YT to control directly without the THR app? Or only for the “Lite”

[@johnmerrill4717]

Can you use the pedal while also running a Bluetooth backing track?

[@DrewCreal]

Yes you can!

[@bobisadrummer]

Any idea what the THRII(Combo) preset is that was below THRII 3?

[@DrewCreal]

I have no idea, but I will definitely check it out and give it a try!

[@JLBagnall]

The combo preset is the one that was there before that you can use in the app.

[@greekplayback]

Sound great , are you recording direct to sound card ?

[@DrewCreal]

The guitar sounds are coming straight from the amp and being picked up by my vocal mic, which you can't see in the shot.
