CalibratinG expreSSion pedal

An expression pedal plugged into the SoftStep can be used as a source to control MIDI parameters� Please

calibrate your expression pedal to ensure that you have access to the full range of values�

To calibrate the expression pedal:

1� Plug in your expression pedal� Make sure it is an expression pedal, a volume pedal will not work�

2� Adjust the expression pedal from heel to toe and observe the live values on the left slider� The middle

slider adjusts the min and max thresholds, and the right slider shows the calibrated output value�

3� Put the expression pedal at the zero (heel) position� Adjust the min threshold (middle slider, bottom/

blue handle) until the output slider value is zero�

4� Put the expression pedal at the max (toe) position� Adjust the max threshold (middle slider, top/red

handle) until the output slider value is 127�

5� When satised, click [save] to send the calibration values to the device.
