Match MIDI channels

Think of the output as the cable route and the channel as the address. The right address on the wrong route still won’t reach your pedal.

Set the app side

Open Channels. Choose the channel beside each pedal. A shared output can carry messages for several pedals, but each physical pedal must listen on the matching channel.

**Simulated example** Different channels keep pedals on the same MIDI path from responding together.

An asterisk marks the definition’s default channel. It does not prove your hardware still uses that default.

Set the hardware side

Click the gear button beside that pedal, labeled Hardware channel setup guide. The app’s help also calls this “Guide me.” Follow the displayed procedure, including any required power-on or button-hold steps. If a Send Channel Command button appears, use it at the point the instructions specify.

**Simulated example** Guide me explains the hardware side. The procedure and command vary by pedal.

Two pedals move together

Check their receive channels, including any Omni setting that listens to all channels. Assign distinct channels when pedals share a message path. The app’s channel-conflict message is a useful reminder; separate physical outputs can make the same channel intentional.

A preset from someone else should not replace your configured MIDI channel. Verify the channel and listen after loading anyway, especially after changing your cabling.
