Welcome to the Coda Music Technologies® family. You’ve just purchased the most
reliable, floor-based, hands-free performance solution available and we’re excited to play
a part in your musical journey.
STOMP works with most Bluetooth® 4.0 and newer devices. This includes iPad 3® and
later, iPhone 4s® and later, and most Android® devices running Android® 4.3 or later
with Bluetooth® 4 or 5. STOMP is designed to work with compatible apps for Apple®
iOS, Android®, PC, and MAC, that receive HID keyboard commands. There are literally
hundreds of compatible apps available but for a short list of some of our favorites please
visit codamusictech.com/apps. If you need assistance with your app, please contact the
app developer directly.

STOMP is designed to operate from either a standard 9-volt battery or a 9VDC power
supply. Both tip-negative and tip-positive power supplies are compatible. If you want to
power a phone or tablet through STOMP’s USB port, you will need a 9VDC 1500mA
power supply; however, if you only need enough power to utilize Bluetooth® functions
then a 9VDC 100mA power supply is sufficient. If battery operation is desired, a
high-quality alkaline type battery should be used.
Power Requirements
To power on or off your STOMP, make sure you have installed a new 9-volt battery or
connected a compatible 9VDC power supply, then press and release the power button
located in the top right-hand corner of the pedal. Once the pedal has been powered on,
the blue status LED will flash slowly when in pairing mode, or become solid blue when
paired.
Power ON/OFF
Pairing
1. Open your device’s Bluetooth® setup/settings menu.
2. Turn on Bluetooth® within the Bluetooth® settings.
3. Turn on STOMP using the power button located in the top right-hand corner.
4. The blue status LED will begin flashing.
5. Within your device’s Bluetooth® settings you should see “Coda Music Tech”.
6. Tap “Coda Music Tech” to pair.
7. When STOMP is fully paired the blue LED status indicator will stop flashing and
remain solid blue.
To install the battery:
1. Remove the screws securing the cover plate, which are located on the bottom of
the unit.
2. Slide the battery into the battery space located in between the left and right foot
switches.
3. Match up the positive and negative terminals to their corresponding mate and
secure the terminal.
4. Replace the cover plate.
5. Line up the screw holes and tighten the screws, making sure not to cross thread
them..

STOMP has four selectable modes which work with the majority of apps on the market.
The different modes are used to send different commands to your favorite app and
device. Different apps use different modes, so make sure to experiment with STOMP’s
four modes to determine which works best with your favorite app. A small, blue LED will
indicate which mode is selected.
Modes
Activating the repeat button allows STOMP to send continuous commands vs. a single
command when pressing and holding a switch. Pressing and holding the right switch, for
example, will trigger an unlimited series of right arrow commands which will scroll
through pages quickly and with one motion. If the Repeat function is OFF, pressing and
holding a footswitch will send a single command to the receiving device. Pressing and
holding the right switch, for example, will trigger a single right arrow command. To scroll
through multiple pages with the repeat mode off, you will need to press the footswitch
multiple times.
Repeat/Infinity Function
Mode 1: Left/Right Arrow
Mode 2: Up/Down Arrow
Mode 3: Page Up/Down
Mode 4: Space/Enter

STOMP operates as a “keyboard” within your device. Because of this your device may
not automatically activate its built-in virtual keyboard function when STOMP is
connected. If you need to make any notes within your sheet music app or use another
function that requires keyboard abilities while STOMP is connected, you will need to
activate STOMP’s Virtual Keyboard Function. To activate the built-in Virtual Keyboard
Function, simultaneously press down both the left and right switches. This will
temporarily disconnect your pedal from the host device and cause the status indicator
LED to flash rapidly. To deactivate the function, press down both switches again. Please
note that not all apps will respond to this feature and you may need to disconnect
STOMP to utilize your device’s virtual keyboard depending on the app’s internal abilities.
Also note that the virtual keyboard will only activate when a text box is selected.

Virtual Keyboard
STOMP will remain powered for up to 150 hours using a 9-volt 220mAh battery. To
ensure extended battery life STOMP will activate sleep mode after 25 minutes of
inactivity. Sleep mode disables all LEDs but keeps an active pairing status with your host
device. To wake the pedal, simply press the left or right footswitch and the LEDs will
emit again. The status indicator LED, located at the top-center of the pedal, will emit a
blue LED when the power is above 25%. When battery life drops to 25% the LED will
change to red and the battery should be changed before the next use. Sleep mode will
not activate when the pedal is powered by 9-volt DC power adapters.
Battery Life & Sleep Mode

STOMP is equipped with a USB port to provide power to tablets and smartphones when
connected to 9VDC 1500mA power. Please note that this feature is only designed to
charge external devices (smartphones, tablets), it will not charge STOMP. To charge an
external device, simply plug your STOMP pedal into a compatible 9VDC 1500mA power
supply, and plug a USB cable into STOMP and your device. The charging voltage is 1A to
ensure safe charging of smartphones, but it can also provide power to 2A tablets. If you
are charging a 2A device such as an iPad, STOMP will keep it powered but recharge
slowly. We recommend only using STOMP to keep your device charged rather than
relying on 1A power to charge your device from zero.
USB Port
The status indicator, located at the top-center of your STOMP pedal, will provide you
