Red Panda Context 2 — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

MIDI control for the Red Panda Context 2 reverb — eight algorithms, delay, dynamics ducking, reverb hold and 127 presets over USB MIDI.

Nitelite gives the Context 2 a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 1). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

Control	MIDI CC	Description
BLEND	CC 12	Adjusts the wet/dry mix, from 100% dry to 100% wet. 12:00 is a 50/50 blend. In Kill Dry bypass mode it acts as an effect level control.
PRE	CC 13	Adjusts the predelay (0-150 ms) — a delay before the initial reverb sound. At 0 the reverb starts immediately.
DECAY	CC 14	Adjusts the reverb decay time. 3:00 is a long tail that makes the differences between the algorithm tails obvious.
MOD	CC 17	Adjusts reverb modulation amount and character. For ROOM, HALL, CATHEDRAL and PLATE it morphs from random chorus modulation, through pitch-stable random modulation, to deep chorus. In REVERSE it adds a wash of forward reverb. In SPRING it sets tremolo depth. In GRAIN it changes the character of the modulation and eventually pulls the sound apart.
HI	CC 16	High-frequency response of the reverb (damping). Damping increases as the knob is turned down; flat at 3:00, with a slight boost above 3:00. From roughly 5:00 to 9:00 it acts as a lowpass filter. Turning HI down creates a darker reverb; boosting adds presence. Does not affect the tone of the delay.
LO	CC 15	Low-frequency response of the reverb (damping). Damping increases as the knob is turned down; flat at 3:00, with a slight boost above 3:00. From roughly 5:00 to 9:00 it acts as a highpass filter. Turning LO down helps prevent a muddy reverb, or creates a thin, airy sound. Does not affect the tone of the delay.

Alt / Secondary Knob Functions

Control	MIDI CC	Description
BAL	CC 22	[SHIFT] Balance between reverb and delay — 0 is 100% reverb (delay disabled), 127 is 100% delay (the Context functions as a delay pedal). Has no effect when DELAY and FDBK are both 0.
DELAY	CC 20	[SHIFT] Adjusts the delay time (0-1200 ms). Setting both DELAY and FDBK to 0 turns off the delay.
FDBK	CC 21	[SHIFT] Adjusts the delay feedback. Feedback is also fed into the reverb, which creates resonant or flanged reverb sounds. Setting both DELAY and FDBK to 0 turns off the delay.
RATE	CC 18	[SHIFT] Adjusts modulation speed. In SPRING this is the tremolo speed, which can also be synced to a note division. In PLATE, raising the rate to approximately 1:30 adds more "bend" to the chorusing.
DYN RECOVERY	CC 24	[SHIFT] Dynamics recovery time. 64 is off. Below 64 is ducking, above 64 is expansion. Turning farther from center lengthens the recovery time (range 30-3000 ms).
DYN THRESHOLD	CC 23	[SHIFT] Dynamics threshold — the signal level at which the reverb dynamics kick in. Adjust to your playing dynamics, signal level and desired effect.

Footswitches

PRESET — bypass on CC 80, hold on CC 86
ON — bypass on CC 88, hold on CC 87

Special MIDI Functions

Tap Tempo — CC 89
Expression — CC 4
ON Footswitch (gated) — CC 81. Footswitch emulation for the ON / [oo] switch — 64-127 is a press, 0-63 is a release. Use this instead of the bypass toggle if you want true momentary footswitch behaviour.
Receive MIDI Clock — CC 110. Global setting — when on, the pedal syncs its note divisions to incoming MIDI timing clock. On is the factory default and the setting is remembered when power is turned off.
Delay Note Division — CC 106. Note division for the delay time against tap tempo or MIDI clock. 0 = off (tap tempo disabled), 9 = dotted whole, 10 = whole, 11 = whole triplet, 12 = dotted half, 13 = half, 14 = half triplet, 15 = dotted quarter, 16 = quarter (default), 17 = quarter triplet, 18 = dotted eighth, 19 = eighth, 20 = eighth triplet, 21 = dotted 16th, 22 = 16th, 23 = 16th triplet, up to 31 = 128th note. Values 1-8 are multi-measure divisions.
Predelay Note Division — CC 107. Note division for the reverb predelay, using the same 0-31 table as the delay note division. 0 = off (default). Allowable values are limited by the predelay parameter range.
Tremolo Note Division — CC 108. Note division for the Spring algorithm’s tremolo rate, using the same 0-31 table as the delay note division. 0 = off (default).

Hardware Presets

The Context 2 has 127 hardware preset slots. Nitelite can save your current settings to a slot and recall slots via MIDI program change.
