Control Change (CC) and Program Change (PC) Information

Ampero One Connection
Ampero One does not have a dedicated MIDI IN port. To connect Ampero One with Ampero Control, use Bluetooth MIDI functionality. For iOS devices, use the ‘midimittr’ app, and for Android devices, use the ‘MIDI BLE Connect’ app. This allows Ampero One to receive MIDI messages wirelessly. Remember to set ‘Output to’ as ‘Bluetooth’ in the app settings.

Ampero Switch Connection
The Ampero Switch allows you to extend the MIDI functionality of your Ampero Control. Connect it to the Ampero Control using a TRS cable from the EXP/CTRL port on the Ampero Switch to the designated port on Ampero Control. You can assign CTRL 1/2 functions and configure the switch type as ‘Dual FS’ or ‘Dual Footswitch’ in the app.

Ampero Press Connection
Similarly, the Ampero Press can be connected to the Ampero Control to add expression pedal and footswitch functionality. Use a TRS cable to connect the EXP/CTRL ports, and configure the control types in the app. You can set the expression pedal parameters, such as the minimum and maximum MIDI data values, and select the curve type for the expression pedal.
