How to Use Your Pedalino
8.1
OPERATING THE MULTI-LEVEL PADS
Your Pedalino comes with four foot-operable multi-level switching pads.
Unlike standard foot switches, these pads have no moving mechanical parts
(hence no wear and tear and no mechanical or electrical noise). They oper-
ate via force sensors, which respond to the degree of force applied by your
foot.
Moreover, they are multi-level sensors, which means that different control
actions can be imparted by different levels of force. While this might sound
complicated, it is in fact incredibly intuitive to use.
Each pad has up to three different force thresholds, determining three dif-
ferent levels and corresponding actions. Ultra-bright red LEDs [7] provide you
instantaneous feedback on the level of force you are applying.
LEVEL 1
LEVEL 2
LEVEL 3
When you apply enough pressure to reach the first threshold level, one LED
will light up, indicating that LEVEL 1 has been activated. Apply enough pres-

sure to reach the second threshold level and two LEDs will light up, indicating
that LEVEL 2 has been activated. When enough pressure has been applied to
reach the third threshold level,the full line of three LEDs will light up, indicating
that LEVEL 3 has been activated.
The LOAD/SOLO pad [15] operates only at LEVEL 1 – with the corresponding
one LED [7].
When you buy your Pedalino Foot Controller, the thresholds will be set at
Rev. 1.1 - EN EU - fw 4.10
'soft'. Pedalino, however, comes with two factory-defined sets of thresholds:
'soft' and 'hard', to accommodate different playing styles. You also have
the possibility to adjust the predefined sets, and even to fine-tune the thresh-
olds for each individual pad. See section
Thresholds
(p.10).

CHANGING PRESETS ON YOUR PEDALPRO
8.2.1 Scrolling through presets
On the Pedalino Foot Controller, press switching pads
up and down through your list of presets. This mode of operating the Pedalino
Foot Controller is referred to in this manual as browse mode. In this mode of
operation, you have access to all 500 presets of your PedalPro. For operating
the Pedalino in favourite mode and accessing just the 18 favourite presets
defined in your PedalPro, see
Force feedback LEDs [7] provide a visual feedback on the actions performed
by the switching pads.
The Pedalino allows you to either scroll through your list of 500 presets one by
one, or, for fast-tracking, in groups of 10 or 50. This is determined by the level
of force you apply to the switching pads.
•
Press to LEVEL 1 on the switching pads
[7] will light up and the preset number will increase or decrease by 1.
•
Press to LEVEL 2 on the switching pads
light up, and the preset number will increase or decrease by 10.
•
Press to LEVEL 3 on the switching pads
three LEDs [7] will light up, and the preset number will increase by 50.
8.2.2 Loading a preset

Select the preset that you want to load. The bottom line of the display
will show the preset selected. In the example below, it is the preset
