How do I configure the EXP/MIDI jack on Olivera?
1: Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for at least 2 seconds while powering up Olivera. Once the LED flashes RED, release the footswitch.
2: Turn the MIX (EXP/MIDI JACK) knob to select the function of the rear panel’s EXP/MIDI jack. The LED will change color to indicate the current status as you turn the knob.
- Expression Pedal Mode: GREEN (default, minimum) – Using a standard TRS expression pedal, allows continuous control over any of the knobs.
- Favorite Mode: AMBER (11 o’clock) – Using a Strymon MiniSwitch, allows you to recall a Favorite setting.
- Mod Mode: RED (12 o’clock) – Using a Strymon MiniSwitch, allows you to toggle the modulation on/off. (The modulation is adjustable via the INTENSITY and RATE knobs.)
- Infinite Mode: PURPLE (2 o’clock) – Using a Strymon MiniSwitch allows for infinite echo repeats of the input signal when the switch is held—essentially the same as turning the REGEN knob to maximum.
- MIDI Mode: BLUE – Allows for the use of a Strymon MultiSwitch Plus or an external MIDI controller:
- MultiSwitch Plus – A MultiSwitch Plus device can be set to PRESET Mode to access three presets or to CUSTOM Mode, where its switches control MOD, FAVORITE, and INFINITE.
- MIDI – Full MIDI functionality is available by sending MIDI Program Change messages via 1/4” TRS MIDI connection using a Strymon Conduit or MIDI EXP cable. Up to 300 presets are available via MIDI.
3: Press the FOOTSWITCH to store the selected EXP/MIDI Jack Mode and begin using Olivera.
