Introduction
Graviton M1 is the next-generation MIDI controller pedal designed for guitarists and bassists
who want to incorporate the full power of MIDI into their live or studio rigs with total wireless
freedom, effortless usability, compatibility and expandability in an ultra compact package.
●Total Wireless Freedom: Graviton M1 is remote-controlled by the included XY
Controller, which can be attached to your instrument. The controller features two
5-way directional switches (10 switches in total), and each switch is fully
programmable for sending MIDI, switching banks, and more. Its intuitive design
enables easy and eyes-free operation, similar to using a pickup selector switch. This
eliminates the need for tap dancing and allows you to move freely on stage while
performing.
●Effortless Usability: Graviton M1 comes with a large 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD,
which makes MIDI programming a breeze and eliminates the need for a PC editor. Its
user-friendly interface allows for quick and easy changes both on and off stage, as all
changes made on screen are automatically saved. It also supports a wide range of
MIDI messages and useful software features.
●Compatibility / Expandability: Send MIDI to six devices at once over four different
MIDI interfaces. Works with almost any external footswitch / expression pedal.
Connect up to 2 footswitch / expression pedals over TRS Jacks, 10 Luminite wireless
footswitch pedals and 10 XY Controllers, all can work together at the same time. Also
controllable by MIDI messages from other devices.

●Ultra Compact Footprint: Graviton M1 is smaller than an overdrive pedal, with the full
control of a large 10-switch MIDI controller, saving pedalboards space and weight. Or
use Graviton M1 to turn compact multi-effects pedals / amp modelers / computers /
iPhones / iPads into portable and powerful gigging machines.

The Hardware: XY Controller

down, left, right, and center, for a total of 10 switches. Switching with your fingertips is easy
and intuitive, similar to using a pickup selector switch.

XY Controllers can be attached to any instrument using its nano pads on the bottom. These
pads work like geckos' feet without any chemical adhesives. They can be attached and
removed multiple times and are safe for most guitar finishes.
Experiment with different positions to see what works best for you. You may want to move
the controller closer to your picking hand for quicker switching or further away for more room
while strumming. Here are some good starting points:
The XY Controller and Graviton M1 usually come paired out of the box, but if for any reason
they haven't, go to Settings > XY > Pair and follow the on-screen instructions to get them
paired.
XY Controller Features:
●Low-profile design: Minimizes changes to the instrument's look and playability
(compatible with whammy bars).

selector switch.
