How do I configure the EXP/ MIDI port on EC-1?

1: Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for at least 2 seconds while powering up EC-1. 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.

• Tap Mode: RED (12 o’clock) – Using a Strymon MiniSwitch, allows you to tap in a tempo in quarter notes for your delay repeats to follow. Additionally, when configured for Tap Mode, pressing and holding the external switch will perform infinite delay repeats.

• Infinite Mode: PURPLE (2 o’clock) – Using a Strymon MiniSwitch allows for infinite delay repeats of the input signal when the switch is held—essentially the same as turning the REPEATS 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 TAP, 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 EC-1.
