SA164 MIDI Interface / Port Expander / Multi-Pedal Scene Saver User’s Guide Welcome Thank you for purchasing the Neuro Hub! The Neuro Hub unites all your One Series and Soundblox 2 pedals into a single, stage-ready system. It features expression pedal and Hot Hand® inputs, control ports for up to five pedals, and USB connectivity for use with the Neuro Desktop Editor. The Hub features a powerful Scene Saving functionality, which allows you to create up to 128 multi-pedal presets (scenes).

Neuro Hub Firmware Updates The Neuro Hub is compatible with our Neuro Desktop Editor software. Use the Neuro Desktop to change and edit multi-pedal scenes and update firmware. You can download this application for Mac or Windows from the Editors and Firmware page on the Source Audio website: https://www.sourceaudio.net/editorsandfirmware.html To update your Hub’s firmware: • Open the Neuro Desktop Editor on your PC (available for Mac and Windows) and connect your Neuro Hub via its mini USB port.

Front Connections The front panel of the Hub features 5 Multi-Function outputs, USB, and the 9V DC power jack. Multi-Function Outputs: Connect your One Series “Control Inputs” or Soundblox 2 “MultiFunction” Inputs here via the included 1/8” TRRS sensor cables. • USB: Connect to your computer via the included USB-Mini cable. The Hub will install automatically and can be used with the Neuro Desktop Editor application.
PAGE 4
Rear Connections The rear panel of the Hub features MIDI I/O, an Expression Input, and a Sensor Input for use with Hot Hand. • Sensor Input: Connect a Hot Hand® receiver here using the provided 1/8” TRRS sensor cable. The Hot Hand receiver will be powered from the Hub. The Hot Hand signals will automatically be routed to any connected pedals. • MIDI IN: Standard 5-pin DIN connectors can be used here to connect a MIDI controller to the MIDI IN jack.
PAGE 5
Top Panel Controls The Neuro Hub has a very simple interface on the top panel. The blue POWER LED should be lit whenever the device is powered. There are also two buttons that perform multiple functions: Scan Devices (Hold – Save Scene): • Scan Devices: Pressing the Scan button will send a “ping” message to all of the attached devices to check the connections and the state of the pedal. The Hub automatically scans the attached pedals when it powers up.
PAGE 6
Scene Saving One of the most powerful features of the Neuro Hub is the ability to save pedal board scenes for all of the connected One Series and Soundblox 2 pedals. A scene is a snapshot of all the connected pedals including ON/OFF state, all knob settings, and all control options. Since all pedal settings are saved, this gives users the ability save and store unique effect combinations not possible with traditional pedals.

MIDI Continuous Control Table This table describes the mapping of MIDI CC messages to functions on corresponding Soundblox 2 effect pedals. MIDI CC mappings for all One Series pedals are listed in the Neuro Desktop Editor under the “Device” in the top bar navigation.
