Global Edit Menu
The Global Edit Menu provides access to a number of global settings that change the way the
Soleman works. To access the Global Edit Menu, press and hold the Edit button. The Edit LED will
begin to blink, indicating that Global Edit mode is active. Once in Global Edit Mode, press the Edit
button to navigate through the various options in the menu. To save changes and return to normal
operation, press the Confirm button. To cancel changes made in the Global Edit Menu, press the
Cancel button.
The following settings can be adjusted with the Global Edit Menu. See below for details:
 Expression Pedal Calibration
 Input MIDI Channel
 Output MIDI Channel (default)
 Favorite Scene (used in Scene and List modes)
 Use Hub Names (Scene and List modes)
 Function of Footswitch 4 (Favorite/Tap) in Scene Mode
 Use large LCD digits (Scene mode only)
 Send CC on Tap Tempo
 Tap Tempo CC value
 External Switch 1 Function
 External Switch 2 Function
 Factory Reset
Expression Calibration
The Soleman uses a 10-bit ADC to convert external tip-hot passive expression pedals to MIDI data.
Because some expression pedals have different designs (for example, different potentiometer
resistances) and often differ due to manufacturing tolerances, it may be necessary to perform a
calibration to properly configure the Soleman for use with the connected expression pedal.
The expression calibration screen shows two numbers, Lo and Hi. These represent the lowest and
highest input voltages seen by the expression input, respectively. By default, the Lo value is set to 0
and the Hi value is set to 1023, representing the full range of the 10-bit ADC.
In reality, however, the expression pedal connected to the Soleman might not produce the full range
of voltages. In this case, the Soleman’s calibration feature can scale the expression pedal’s range to
match what the Soleman expects.
To perform a calibration, follow these steps:
 Move the expression pedal’s treadle to its minimum position with the heel of the treadle all
the way down.
