Special Reminder
The 5V special power output on PIN 1 may conflict with custom power outputs from other devices. To avoid this issue, you can use a MIDI cable with only PIN 4 and 5 connected (our cables are designed this way)
Firmware & Function Brief
The device is equipped with the latest MIDI Captain series firmware program,
known as Super Mode. Pressing and holding the key foot switch (for MIDI
Captain ONE, there is only a one-foot switch, key0) while inserting the power
or turning on the device allows you to enter USB mode to customize the
functions of all foot switches.
We have developed a simple language for configuring. Super Mode supports four key states: press, short release, long press, and long release, each executing different sets of commands, which can be a single command or multiple commands. The program even has no limit on the number of commands for each action, something that Normal mode and Geek mode in the previous MIDI Captain firmware couldn’t achieve. We have also created a function where a single-foot switch can be triggered multiple times in a loop.
By configuring the “key times” parameter, we can make a foot switch do different things when pressed multiple times. For example, with key times = 2, we can make the foot switch perform common CC toggle commands or switch between two PC commands. If key times = 5, we can create a sequence of 5 different command sets that are triggered sequentially. The maximum value for key times is 9. In summary, through the combination configuration of the four key states of the foot switch and multiple trigger events, we can enable the MIDI foot controller to achieve unprecedented and rich functional combinations.
Configuration Language Brief
keytimes = [x] where x refers to the number of different actions when the key
is pressed multiple times. ledmode = [select] or it can also be normal or tap.
This setting is used to indicate the LED display for the foot switch. In
select mode, only the LED corresponding to the currently selected switch is
lit at any given time. Normal means displaying the set colour normally, and
tap is a blinking action.
ledcolorX = [0xff0000][0x00ff00][0x0000ff], where X is the number of times the key is pressed, and it represents the colour of the LED lights when the key is pressed for the Xth time. Each set of three LEDs on the ring can be independently configured. short_dwX, short_upX, longX, and long_upX correspond to the four action states: Xth short press, short release after Xth press, long press, and release after a long press, respectively. short_up1 = [1][PC][3]l-] [16][CC][127][0] [4][NT][60][127]
The commands after the equal sign represent a set of commands. Every four parameters from one command and multiple commands can be consecutive. The first parameter is the MIDI channel value, the second parameter is the MIDI command type (which can be PC, CC, or NT – note), and the third and fourth parameters are the corresponding command ID and value.
