MIDI CONTROL
The STINGRAY can be controlled via generic MIDI messages. To access MIDI
functionality, the pedal requires the Source Audio Soundblox HUB (sold
separately). Please check www.sourceaudio.net for availability. The HUB
expands your connections to further the control of multiple Soundblox
pedals or other devices using standard MIDI ports, USB port, Expression
Pedal input, or additional Multi-Function ports.
Using Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI greatly extends the functionality of the
pedals. Having MIDI I/O allows for remote automation, external controllers,
firmware updates, and more. Using the Soundblox HUB, you can send and
receive MIDI data to up to five Soundblox 2 pedals.
For more information on using your Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI, and for
MIDI mappings, please visit our website at www.sourceaudio.net.
USE WITH HOT HAND
All Soundblox pedals are compatible with our Hot Hand accessories. Hot
Hand units consist of a ring containing an accelerometer that detects motion
and controls effect parameters. To enable Hot Hand functionality, connect
the Hot Hand receiver or base station to the MULTI-FUNCTION IN and select
HH mode with the CONTROL INPUT button. The pedal will now accept input
signals from Hot Hand. Use these signals to control standard modulation or
the assigned parameter.
The STINGRAY can also be calibrated to change the center-point of the Hot
Hand control range. To do this, follow the calibration procedure below. Note
that calibration is only used for Hot Hand mode and calibration is NOT
required before use.
