Saving Presets in MIDI Mode
When in MIDI Mode, the currently loaded settings can be saved to any of
UltraViolet’s 300 preset locations at any time.
To begin using UltraViolet with an external MIDI device, connect the MIDI out jack from a pedal, controller, or computer interface to the EXP/MIDI jack on UltraViolet. The following devices can be used to send MIDI messages to UltraViolet:
Set the EXP/MIDI jack to MIDI Mode
Turn the SPEED knob to set the MIDI communication channel. The LED indicates status. Your knob selections are as follows:
• Channel 1: GREEN (default, minimum)
• Channel 2: AMBER (10 o’clock)
• Channel 3: RED (12 o’clock)
• Channel 4-16: BLUE (maximum) – set by next received MIDI Program Change message, requires 1⁄4″ MIDI connection
Once the LED turns BLUE, it will blink until the pedal receives a MIDI Program Change message. Once a message is received, the pedal will be set to the MIDI channel that carried the message and exits the Power Up Mode to allow you to begin using UltraViolet.
Press the footswitch to exit and store your MIDI Channel setting and begin using UltraViolet.
Press and hold the footswitch for at least 2 seconds while powering up UltraViolet. Once the LED flashes, release the footswitch.
Turn the INTENSITY knob to select what kind of MIDI data is sent from UltraViolet to other MIDI devices. The LED will flash momentarily to indicate your selection. Please note that MIDI OUT must be set to OFF when using a Strymon MIDI EXP cable.
• OFF: RED (default, minimum) – No MIDI messages are sent out of
UltraViolet.
• THRU: BLUE (11 o’clock) – Incoming MIDI messages are sent to
the MIDI Out without any additional MIDI messages generated by
UltraViolet.
• SEND CC, OTHER: GREEN (1 o’clock) – MIDI CC and Sysex
messages generated by UltraViolet are sent to the MIDI Out.
• SEND OTHER: AMBER (maximum) – Sysex messages generated
by UltraViolet are sent to the MIDI Out.
Press the footswitch to store the MIDI Output Mode and exit.
No, UltraViolet is a completely new algorithm with a control scheme and audio design that is different from the Vibe modulation engine found in Mobius.
Configuring the EXP/MIDI Jack
Expression Pedal Setup
Use a TRS expression pedal to remotely control the knobs of UltraViolet.
By default, UltraViolet is configured so that an Expression pedal controls
the SPEED knob.
*We recommend using an expression pedal with 25k resistance, such as the Moog EP2/ EP-3, or the Mission Engineering EP25K*
Performing a Factory Reset restores the pedal to its factory default Power Up functions, and replaces all stored presets with their factory default settings.
To configure your UltraViolet and MultiSwitch Plus to work with each other:
To select a preset on UltraViolet with MultiSwitch Plus:
MiniSwitch can be set to serve as an external tap tempo, or recall a single saved FAVORITE preset. To Configure UltraViolet’s EXP/MIDI Jack for each of these modes:
The following EXP/MIDI Jack Modes are compatible with Strymon MiniSwitch:
No, UltraViolet does not ship with a power supply. Please use a compatible power supply that outputs 9V DC, center-negative, 250mA minimum. We recommend our Ojai and Zuma isolated power supplies. You can also use a wall wart power supply with compatible specifications.
