USE WITH AMPERO
CONNECTION
1. Power on both your Ampero and Ampero Control.
2. Connect Ampero Control’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to Ampero’s MIDI IN
jack with a MIDI cable.

IMPORT A MIDI TEMPLATE


1. Launch Ampero Control app and pair with your Ampero Control.
2. Choose a footswitch and select a footswitch mode depending on your
needs.
3. Click “ ” to open MIDI Template menu, then choose “Ampero
(System)” category.
4. Choose a template to import. You can edit the imported MIDI message
depending on your needs (e.g. change MIDI message channels).
5. Save changes by clicking Save button on the top right corner of the
screen.
USE WITH AMPERO
EDIT ON YOUR OWN
1. Launch Hotone official website and find Ampero user manual on
product detail page or go to “Support” – “User Manual”.
2. Find MIDI Control Information List.
3. Find the corresponding MIDI messages depending on your needs,
then fill in the MIDI messages in Ampero Control app.
Here is an example: Set footswitch 1 function as “single press to
choose the first user patch (P01-1)”.
1. Find MIDI Control Information List in Ampero User Manual.
2. As shown in MIDI Control Information List, to achieve the
function, two MIDI messages are needed in a specific order (CC
0=1 first, PC=0 last):
CC# Value Range Comments
Bank MSB:
0 0-1 User Patch: CC 0=1, PC=0-98
Factory Patch: CC 0=0, PC=0-98

3. Launch Ampero Control app, select an empty bank, select


footswitch 1 and set footswitch mode to “Single”.
4. Click “ ” to add a message: CH. =1 (keep default), Type=CC, Data
1=0, Data 2=1.
5. Click “ ” to add the second message: CH. =1 (keep default),
Type=PC, Data 1=0.
6. Save changes by clicking Save button on the top right corner of the
screen. Then pressing footswitch 1 will choose patch P01-1 on your
Ampero.
Note: In default, Ampero receives MIDI messages from all MIDI
channels (Omni). So, in most situations, keep MIDI channel (CH. )
as default. If you changed MIDI receive channel on your Ampero for
some reason, please remember to change CH. value in step 5, 6 to
match your Ampero’s settings.
USE WITH AMPERO ONE
Since Ampero One has no MIDI IN jack, you need a mobile device with
Bluetooth MIDI bridging app (e.g. iOS: midimittr, Android: MIDI BLE
Connect)* to control Ampero One.
You can directly import Ampero templates or refer
to Ampero’s MIDI Control Information List. When
editing MIDI messages on your own, please
remember to toggle “Bluetooth” in “Output To”
option:
1. Set your Ampero Control depending on your needs (see above), and
then disconnect your Ampero Control from Ampero Control app.
2. Connect your Ampero One’s USB jack to your mobile device with a
USB OTG cable.
3. Press and hold footswitch 2 and 3 to enable Bluetooth Pair Mode.
4. Launch your Bluetooth MIDI bridging app, then pair with your
Ampero Control following the app instructions to make sure the MIDI
messages can be correctly transferred.
If everything is correctly set, Ampero One will respond to your
operations on Ampero Control.

USE WITH AMPERO SWITCH
You can use Ampero Switch as external MIDI footswitches. External
footswitch functions are the same as footswitch 1-4 on your Ampero
Control.
1. Connect your Ampero Switch to EXP/CTRL 1 or 2 jack on your Ampero
Control with a TRS cable:

2. Select CTRL 1/2 depending on your connections.


3. Set “Type” to “Dual FS”.
4. Edit footswitch functions/MIDI messages (see above).
USE WITH AMPERO PRESS
When connected to Ampero Control, Ampero Press can be used as a

Control with a TRS cable:

2. Select CTRL 1/2 depending on your connections.


3. Set “Type” to “EXP Pedal”.

4. Edit MIDI messages (see above).


Note: 1. Please carefully set “Data 2 Min”
and “Data 2 Max” values for correct pedal
performance. For example, if you want to
use Ampero Press to control patch volume
(heel=mute, toe=maximum volume), “Data 2
Min” should be 0 and “Data 2 Max” should
be 127.
You can also set “Curve” option to set a
proper parameter variation curve if needed.
In most situations, just leave it as default
(curve 4, linear).
