Big Sky, Timeline, and Mobius Setup

These devices have MIDI DIN inputs so can be connected to our controllers DIN to DIN or using a TRS MIDI to DIN adapter.

As indicated in their manuals, you'll want to go to the "Globals Menu" and modify the following settings:

(MIDICH) MIDI Channel: pick the channel (1 thru 16) that this pedal will listen on (each pedal needs to be on a different channel)
(MIDICT) MIDI Continuous Controllers: Set to ON.
(MIDIPA) MIDI Patch Change: Set to ON.
(MIDITH) MIDI Through: Set to THRU unless you know what you're doing.

You should then be able to use that device's manual to find the appropriate MIDI messages or our built-in MIDI Library.

Medium-sized pedals ( Brig, Sunset, etc.)

Note: The V1 versions of some pedals do not support MIDI (notably the Flint v1, Deco v1, Bluesky v1, Dig v1, El Capistan v1). Legacy devices like the Lex, Brigadier, OB-1, Ola, etc. also do not support MIDI.

These need to be connected to MIDI using the EXP port. First, you need to set the EXP port to MIDI mode. Here's the manual entry for the Sunset:

Then, set it on a dedicated MIDI channel:

Finally, connect from one of our Omniports to the EXP port using a TRS cable. Set up the Omniport in our editor (Controller Settings -> Configure Omniport to standard MIDI:
