External Control

MIDI CONTROL
The STINGRAY can be controlled via generic MIDI messages. To access MIDI

functionality, the pedal requires the Source Audio Soundblox HUB (sold

separately). Please check www.sourceaudio.net for availability. The HUB

expands your connections to further the control of multiple Soundblox

pedals or other devices using standard MIDI ports, USB port, Expression

Pedal input, or additional Multi-Function ports.

Using Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI greatly extends the functionality of the

pedals. Having MIDI I/O allows for remote automation, external controllers,

firmware updates, and more. Using the Soundblox HUB, you can send and

receive MIDI data to up to five Soundblox 2 pedals.

For more information on using your Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI, and for

MIDI mappings, please visit our website at www.sourceaudio.net.

USE WITH HOT HAND
All Soundblox pedals are compatible with our Hot Hand accessories. Hot

Hand units consist of a ring containing an accelerometer that detects motion

and controls effect parameters. To enable Hot Hand functionality, connect

the Hot Hand receiver or base station to the MULTI-FUNCTION IN and select

HH mode with the CONTROL INPUT button. The pedal will now accept input

signals from Hot Hand. Use these signals to control standard modulation or

the assigned parameter.

The STINGRAY can also be calibrated to change the center-point of the Hot

Hand control range. To do this, follow the calibration procedure below. Note

that calibration is only used for Hot Hand mode and calibration is NOT

required before use.
