The PedalSync Master Control Development Board sends Program Change, Clock, and Self-Programming commands to other PedalSync devices. Master Controller Datasheet

A fully-functional master controller for the PedalSync system which includes: large 3-digit display; program select pot; start/stop, down, up, and tap/save buttons; clock and tempo LEDs; PCB mounted 5 pin jack; Master Control chip and all other necessary components

Available fully functional or with header pins exposed allowing it to be used as the PCB for a name-brand PedalSync controller.

Designed with the End User in mind.

The Master Control interface has been designed to make switching and storing programs as simple as possible so the end-user can concentrate on making music.

Programs are selected using the Up and Down buttons or by turning the Program Select knob. The selected program number is displayed on a large bright 3-segment LED display. The selected program is engaged by pressing the Start/Stop button.

Making all connected PedalSync devices save their current settings is even easier - simply hold down the Tap/Save button for 2 seconds and BOOM - done!

Tempo Control

The Master Control interface sends out a clock signal so all sequencing, oscillating, and repeating PedalSync chips are locked in.

Tempo can be continually adjusted on-the-fly with the Tap Button, using the Up and Down buttons, using the potentiometer, or with a pulse input. An LED indicates the current tempo, allowing users to adjust the tempo when the clock output is stopped.

The Master Control chip stores the tempo associated with each of the 128 programs. Alternatively, a program can be made to use the existing tempo for when multiple programs are used in a single song.

Backwards-compatible with MIDI

The PedalSync Master Control chip also sends out standard MIDI Start, Stop, and Clock messages as well as Song Select and Program Change messages.

As a result, the PedalSync Master Control chip can synchronize an entire rig including MIDI-enabled rack effects, pedals, modular synths, and amplifiers.

The PedalSync Tru-Foot™ LFO chips MV-55 and MV-55B output an ultra-clean analog (16-bit DAC) waveform, and store and recall Waveform, Clock/Pot Status, Speed, Ratio, Offset, Duty Cycle, and Bypass Status. MIDI, Tap, Pulse, and Pot control are all possible. Featuring real-time control of potentiometers without large waveform spikes. Tru-Foot LFO Datasheet

Waveform
Users select Sine, Square, Triangle, or Tru-Foot™. With the Duty Cycle pot, the Triangle waveform can be transformed into a sawtooth up or down.

The Tru-Foot™ waveform realistically emulates the feel of a foot rhythmically controlling a wah-type pedal. It is particularly effective with voltage-controlled filter designs.

Clock or Pot timing
The LFO timing source is selected with a momentary switch. The program default is Pot, allowing stand-alone effects that do not need an external clock signal.

Speed
The Speed pot adjusts the base LFO rate between 24 and 240 bpm. This range can be further adjusted using the Ratio control from 3 bpm to 960 bpm.

Ratio
The Ratio pot multiplies or divides the LFO speed relative to the incoming clock based on musical subdivisions: two whole notes; whole note; half note; half note triplet; quarter note (tap speed); quarter note triplet; 8th note; 8th note triplet; 16th note. As a result, synchronized devices can oscillate at different yet complimentary rates.

Offset
The Offset pot adjusts the waveform against the incoming clock with up to 360 degrees of phase shift. The LFO can accent, syncopate, push the beat, or get right in the pocket.

Duty Cycle
The Duty Cycle pot adjusts the relative playback speed of the first and second half of the waveform to make the output swing. The thirteen duty cycle ratios correspond to the most common musical subdivisions: 1/20; 1/8; 1/6; 1/4; 1/3; 3/8; 1/2; 5/8; 2/3; 3/4; 5/6; 7/8; 19/20.

Five Simultaneous Outputs

Tru-Foot™ LFO chip programs are stored by toggling a switch or upon a command from the PedalSync Master Control chip.

Programs are recalled using the PedalSync Master Control chip (MV-58), standard MIDI Program Change messages, or the PedalSync 4 Presets chip (MV-59).

Extensive smoothing and interpolation algorithms provide seamless transitions between programs and allow real-time control.

MV-55 loads program 1 automatically on startup, while MV-55B reads the potentiometers and switches.

The PedalSync Four Pots chip MV-56 stores and recalls up to four potentiometer settings for 128 different programs. Four Pots Datasheet

The chip sends real-time or programmed resistance data to low cost Microchip digital potentiometers (MCP4151), which can be designed to control any current or voltage.

In addition to the pot settings, the chip also stores the Bypass status and two (2) more user defined momentary switch inputs and pin outputs that can control other device features like alternate signal paths. The Bypass status is indicated by an LED which controls our Relay Bypass chip.

Four Pots chip programs are stored by toggling a switch or upon a command from the PedalSync Master Control chip.

Programs are recalled using the PedalSync Master Control chip (MV-58), standard MIDI Program Change messages, or the PedalSync 4 Presets chip (MV-59).

PedalSync Four Pots Module

The PedalSync Four Pots Module provides the circuitry necessary to quickly prototype your latest designs or use as a plug-and-play module. This compact (1.9 x 1.9") module features 2x 18-pin 0.1" pitch headers set 1.7" apart. Input Voltage = +9VDC.

The chip receives input from traditional analog potentiometers (B5K), then sends real-time or programmed resistance data to low-cost Microchip digital potentiometers (MCP4151) which sit in 8-pin DIP sockets.

As a result, the user interface is instantly recognizable and intuitive, yet highly sophisticated.

A 6N138 optocoupler and 74F14 Schmitt Trigger handle all the incoming PedalSync and MIDI messages. Two separate voltage regulators and three separate grounds combined with careful PCB design optimize separation between 5 volt, 3.3 volt, and Analog circuits for very low noise operation.

PedalSync Relay Bypass Chips (MV-57 and MV-57B)

PedalSync Relay Bypass chip MV-57 receives a signal from other PedalSync chips or any 5-volt logic source and silently switches a relay in response. Relay Bypass chip MV-57B is controlled via a momentary switch, allowing true bypass designs without the big blue switch. The Relay Bypass chips feature an output muting signal, virtually eliminating extraneous switching noise.

A DPDT latching relay (Panasonic TQ2-L-5V) connects directly to the chip. Two status LEDs also connect to the chip indicating whether or not the relay is in bypass mode.

What user wouldn't want to store and recall the bypass status for 128 setups.

The Relay Bypass chip also features a light show and automatic relay reset on startup.

See the Relay Bypass Datasheet for more information.

The PedalSync 4 Presets chips MV-59 and MV-59B sequentially send MIDI Program Change messages 1-4 on Channel 15 each time a momentary switch is pressed, and feature a power-on light show.

If the device is designed for dual-use (PedalSync and Stand-Alone), a custom latching network interrupts and overrides any other incoming control signal, giving the 4 Presets signal priority.

Because all the primary PedalSync chips can be programmed separately (without the Master Control signal), users can switch the stand-alone device to one of the four presets, adjust their settings, and program those settings by toggling the PGM switch.

3 different LED indicator options are available from the same chip.

Custom programming is also available.

See the 4 Presets Datasheet for more information.
