Firmware Upgrade & Extras

9.1 INSTALLING NEW FIRMWARE

If new ﬁrmware for your Pedalino Foot Controller has become available on

VR’s website or you have ordered your own customised ﬁrmware and you

want to install it on your Pedalino, ﬁrst download it and save it to a location in

your computer.

• Connect the Pedalino to your PC/Mac using the USB port [23] and the USB

cable supplied with your PedalPro. DO NOT switch on your Pedalino yet.

• Start the PedalManager software that came with the PedalPro (or down-

load it from VR’s website) by double-clicking on the programme icon to

be found in the directory where you saved the software, or on the short-

cut you’ve created.

• With the Pedalino switched OFF, press and hold the SET key [11] while

switching on the Pedalino. The Pedalino is now in ﬁrmware upgrade

mode. The PedalManager software should immediately recognise that

the Pedalino is connected and communication between the computer

and the Pedalino can now take place.

Serial: 0000

STATUS: lo cked

000

This screen shows the following important information about your PedalPro:

• Serial - this is the 8-digit serial number unique to your Pedalino Foot Con-

troller (assigned by VR).

• KEY - this field shows whether or not your Pedalino can receive a ﬁrm-

ware upgrade. Before the upgrade can take place, the Pedalino must

be unlocked by supplying the 30-digit Firmware Unlock Key in the appro-

priate ﬁeld of the PedalManager software. You will receive your 30-digit

key together with your new ﬁrmware.

How to perform a ﬁrmware upgrade

• On the Firmware tab of the PedalManager click on ‘Load Device

• Firmware File’ and browse to ﬁnd the ﬁle with the new ﬁrmware in the

location where you stored it in your computer.

• Copy the Firmware Unlock Key you have received from VR with your

new ﬁrmware in the ‘Firmware Unlock Key’ pop-up window.

The PedalManager communicates with the Pedalino and checks the Firm-

ware Unlock Key and whether the ﬁle contains the correct ﬁrmware for your

Pedalino. If the checks are successful, the display of your Pedalino will show

the status of your unit as ‘unlocked’.

Ser i al : 0000

STATUS: loc ked

• Click on ‘Write Firmware’ and wait for the conﬁrmation that the upgrade

has been successful.

• Switch your Pedalino off, disconnect the USB cable and switch the Ped-

alino on again.

9.2 OPTIONAL EXTRAS

As mentioned in the section on the ADES-controlled parameters of the

PedalPro’s effects (see PedalPro Owner’s Manual), each of the available

parameters has a predeﬁned range through which you can sweep with an

expression pedal. You can ﬁnd a table with the parameters and their ranges

on page 16 of this manual.

There is, however, always the possibility that a different range would better

suit your playing style. If this is the case, we can supply you with new ﬁrmware

with your own customised ranges.

As an example: the parameter F2 HiRng, which is the high range of Filter F2, is

factory designed to sweep from 946 to 2055 Hz using the complete action of

the expression pedal. In your case, however, the range from 1320 to 2555 Hz

might better suit your purposes, and we can adapt it for you.

For the latest information on costs for altering each parameter range, email

us at customer support (@) with your request.
