Pedal

| Press down on the pedal to control the MIDI CC numbers that you have set (default value when EXP SW is off: CC#11, when EXP SW is on: CC#1).

Turning the EXP SW on/off

Push up on the pedal strongly with your toes to turn the EXP SW on/off. This lets you control a different MIDI CC number from the one that the pedal itself controls (default value: CC#82).

*    When you operate the pedal, please be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the unit. In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.

*    Do not put your hands or fingers in the openings of the pedal.

Connecting Wirelessly (Pairing)

“Pairing” involves registering the MIDI device that you want to use (making the two devices recognize each other) with the EV-1-WL. After pairing, you can transmit and receive MIDI data between the EV-1-WL and your MIDI device.

MEMO

• Place the MIDI device that you want to connect near the EV-1-WL.
• This unit automatically memorizes and connects to the MIDI device to which it was last paired, so there is no need to pair the devices again. However, pairing must be done each time for the Mac, iPhone and Android
• To initialize a MIDI device that you have already paired, you must pair the devices again.

Replacing the Batteries

Insert the batteries in the correct direction as shown in the illustration.

•  To prevent this product from operating incorrectly or malfunctioning, insert or replace the batteries before connecting this product to another device.
