4. To assign this continuous controller to a knob, turn the corresponding knob. To assign it to
the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH, press the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. To assign it to the EFFECT SELECTOR
SWITCH, toggle the effect type switch.
5. Once the MIDI continuous controller has been assigned, the CONTROL LED will be solid green.
This shows that the mapping was successful. Note: The CONTROL LED blinks any time a MIDI
message is received, so it’s possible that the CONTROL LED will continue blinking even after
the MIDI mapping is complete – this shows that MIDI messages are still being sent to the L.A.
Lady.
For parameters like drive and level, which are normally controlled by knobs, the full range of
continuous control values from 0 to 127 will be mapped to the range of the knob.
For the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH, continuous control values in the range from 0 to 63 will bypass the L.A.
Lady and values in the range from 64 to 127 will enable the L.A. Lady.
For the EFFECT SELECTOR SWITCH, continuous control values map directly to each effect type. See the
FAQ for details.
Any MIDI CC, from 0 to 127, can be mapped to a control on the L.A. Lady.
Each CC number can only be mapped to control one parameter at any given time. If you attempt to
map a CC that has already been assigned to another parameter, the previous mapping will be
overridden.
Several CCs can potentially be mapped to the same parameter, although this is not very useful.
When using MIDI Learn, the L.A. Lady listens for the first MIDI CC message sent to it and then ignores
any subsequent CC messages until the mapping is complete. This means that you must make sure
that only send the MIDI CC message to the L.A. Lady that you intend to use for the MIDI Learn
mapping. Some DAWs send multiple MIDI messages when the play or pause buttons are pressed, and
this can lead to unintended MIDI mappings. Check your DAW documentation in order to learn about
messages that are sent at the beginning or end of playback.
Reset MIDI Mapping
To clear MIDI mapping, first press the CONTROL INPUT button and turn off Control Input mode. The
CONTROL LED should be dark. Then, press and hold the CONTROL INPUT button until the CONTROL LED
blinks. This clears all Expression, Hot Hand, and MIDI mapping.
MIDI Channel
By default, the L.A. Lady responds to MIDI Channel 1. The L.A. Lady ignores all MIDI messages sent to
it that are not on its assigned channel. To change the L.A. Lady’s MIDI channel, edit the L.A. Lady’s
global settings using the Neuro App.
MIDI Clock
Since the L.A. Lady has no time-dependent parameters, it will ignore MIDI clock.
USB
The L.A. Lady’s USB port is plug-and-play ready for Windows and Mac computers. The L.A. Lady uses
class-compliant drivers, so no special drivers are needed. Just power up the L.A. Lady and connect it
