Warning
Before you start to use the the iCtrl-R mini pay much attention when insert and remove your USB cable from the iCtrl-R Mini input. You could
damage it irreparably!!!
Calibration
Before you start using the Expression pedal (the pedal shall ALWAYS be disconnected/connected to the controller before energizing the controller
itself) you need to activate the "Calibration" by pressing the switch 1 in mode 1 until the rapid flashing of the LED 5.Immediately after entering
the calibration mode, depress the pedal backwards to the minimum heel setting then sweep to the maximum toe setting, this will ensure you
calibrate your pedal with the iCtrl-R mini . Now pressing one of the switches of iCtrl-R mini LED 1 will blink, mode 1 will be
activated and the pedal can begin to communicate properly with the iPad (tested with Amplitube and Jamup & Bias FX) or even a PC/MAC (tested
with Guitar Rig and Amplitube & Bias FX) or other MIDI device. The default MIDI channel for iCtrl-R mini is the #1.
The calibration values will be stored until the next calibration.

External Expression pedal
When an expression pedal is connected to an iCtrl-R mini, it will be always active and communicates via the control change #2 (values from 01 to
127). In addition when the pedal is set at minimum heel a CC #77 with value =0 will be sent after 400 millisecond, a CC #77 with value =127 will
be sent when the pedal is at maximum toe setting after 50ms. You can then switch on off an effect to be controlled by the expression pedal
assigningCC#77 to it.
Vslider
It’s a motion detection sensor located on the right side of the box that is always active and communicates via the control change #127 (values
from 01 to 127).
With this sensor you can send continuous MIDI CC by moving back and forth the foot or the hands from the sensor. Led #9 will be off (a CC #55 with
value =0 will be sent) after 400ms when you move away the foot or the hand from the sensor. Led #9 will be on and a CC #78 with value =127 will
be sent after holding the foot in front of the sensor for 50ms. You can then switch on off an effect to be controlled by the Vslider assigning CC#78
to it.

power up or use the recharga le attery. When the USB power is powered, it will automatically switch over to USB for power, as well as start
charging the battery. This happens 'hotswap' style so you can always keep the attery as a ' ackup' power that will only get used when USB
power is lost.
When the attery is charging you can see a yellow led on through the USB hole on the ox side.
Switch in the down position the toggle switch when the USB ca le is removed and you don’t use the controller, the attery circuit will e switched
