First Steps with PedalinoMini

After installing PedalinoMini and connecting it to WiFi, follow these steps to get your device configured and working with your MIDI equipment.

Initial Setup

  5. ANALOG: For expression pedals
  6. LADDER: For resistor ladder setups (multiple switches on one port)
  7. TRIGGER: For drum triggers or similar inputs
  8. Configure additional parameters like polarity and press behavior

4. Set Up Controls

  1. Go to the Controls section
  2. Define the controls (switches) for each pedal
