Troubleshooting the MIDI Maestro EXP Pedal

Midi Maestro Help, Questions and Bugs
15

I’m using a Dunlop Volume (X) pedal connected via a TRS cable to the MIDI Maestro. I am using firmware 1.1.9 and the 1.70 app on iOS. I successfully configured my setup just now to change the volume of a beat on the BeatBuddy and it wasn’t all that hard. But there’s a slight twist. I’m lazy and wanted to take the least amount of steps to get the Maestro and an expression pedal to control the BeatBuddy volume so here’s the steps I followed:

  1. Followed Brennan’s instructions for calibrating the expression pedal MIDI Maestro Firmware 1.1.9 and MM apps 1.6.x and I chose the Positional Mode.
  2. I then clicked on the Maestro app > Hamburger menu > Browse Custom Modes and scrolled down to AerosBeatBuddy Exp Pedal Volume… and downloaded it using the Maestro app.
  3. I watched and followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgS48CJOZeY (wow, she talks so quickly :joy: that I had to turn on closed captions and watch it a couple of times).
  4. It took around 3 minutes to download the setting to the Maestro and after I cycled the power on the Maestro, I tested the volume on the BeatBuddy. Shazam~it worked. You’ll be able to see the volume on the BeatBuddy being changed and hear the difference.
