INSTALLING NEW FIRMWARE
If new firmware for your Pedalino Foot Controller has become available on
VR's website
or you have ordered your own customised firmware and you
want to install it on your Pedalino, first download it and save it to a location in
your computer.
Connect the Pedalino to your PC/Mac using the USB port [23] and the USB
•
cable supplied with your PedalPro. DO NOT switch on your Pedalino yet.
•
Start the PedalManager software that came with the PedalPro (or down-
load it from
VR's website

short-cut you've created.
•
With the Pedalino switched OFF, press and hold the SET key [11] while
switching on the Pedalino. The Pedalino is now in firmware upgrade
mode. The PedalManager software should immediately recognise that
the Pedalino is connected and communication between the computer
and the Pedalino can now take place.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
As mentioned in the section on the ADES-controlled parameters of the
PedalPro's effects (see
PedalPro Owner's Manual
parameters has a predefined range through which you can sweep with an
expression pedal. You can find a
on page 16 of this manual.
There is, however, always the possibility that a different range would better
suit your playing style. If this is the case, we can supply you with new firmware
with your own customised ranges.
As an example: the parameter F2 HiRng, which is the high range of Filter F2, is
factory designed to sweep from 946 to 2055 Hz using the complete action of
the expression pedal. In your case, however, the range from 1320 to 2555 Hz
might better suit your purposes, and we can adapt it for you.
For the latest information on costs for altering each parameter range, email

with your request.
