Red Remote On

Used to turn on/activate the Red Remote feature found on various JHS pedals

You can control up to 4 separate JHS pedals by plugging each pedal into any of the 4 UniPorts. Before you can control the Red Remote, you must assign the appropriate UniPort to be used for each JHS Pedal. See here for instruction on programming each UniPort.

Select the UniPort number to control the JHS pedal that is plugged into the corresponding UniPort

Amp Switch On

Used to turn on/activate a switch found on any tube/solid state amplifier. Amp switches are typically channel switching or effect switching like reverb, tremolo, etc.

You can control up to 4 separate amp switches by plugging each amp switch into any of the 4 UniPorts. Before you can control the amp's switch, you must assign the appropriate UniPort to be used for each amp. See here for instruction on programming each UniPort.

Select the UniPort number to control the amp's switch that is plugged into the corresponding UniPort

Scroll PC

Used to scroll through a defined range of PC#’s

This message type is typically used to scroll through presets on your pedals. Simply enter the range for the PC#'s to scroll through, pick a counter to be used (1 thru 8), the channel for which to send the PC#'s to, and the direction to scroll (up, down, or toggle). Selecting Up or Down is useful when using two separate switches/presets to scroll PC#'s. Selecting Toggle is useful when using the same switch/preset to scroll both up and down (often used with the Long Press Scroll press action). The first press/hold will scroll up and the second press/hold will scroll down.

The Unity8 has eight unique counters on board, each counter is used to keep track of where you are at in the scrolling cycle. If you need to scroll presets on different pedals, make sure to assign each pedal a unique counter number.

* Often you may want to use two different switches/presets to scroll up and down PC#'s, make sure to assign both switches/presets to the same counter number so the scrolling stays in sync and functions as desired.

Scroll EXP1

Used to scroll through a defined range of values for EXP 1

This message type is typically used to create a virtual expression pedal using the switches on the Unity6. Simply enter the range for EXP 1 to scroll through, pick a counter to be used (1 thru 8), and the direction to scroll (up, down, or toggle). Selecting Up or Down is useful when using two separate switches/presets to scroll EXP 1. Selecting Toggle is useful when using the same switch/preset to scroll both up and down (often used with the Long Press Scroll press action). The first press/hold will scroll up and the second press/hold will scroll down.

The Unity8 has eight unique counters on board, each counter is used to keep track of where you are at in the scrolling cycle. Often you may want to use two different switches/presets to scroll up and down values, make sure to assign both switches/presets to the same counter number so the scrolling stays in sync and functions as desired.

Scroll EXP2

Used to scroll through a defined range of values for EXP 2

This message type is typically used to create a virtual expression pedal using the switches on the Unity6. Simply enter the range for EXP 2 to scroll through, pick a counter to be used (1 thru 8), and the direction to scroll (up, down, or toggle). Selecting Up or Down is useful when using two separate switches/presets to scroll EXP 2. Selecting Toggle is useful when using the same switch/preset to scroll both up and down (often used with the Long Press Scroll press action). The first press/hold will scroll up and the second press/hold will scroll down.

The Unity8 has eight unique counters on board, each counter is used to keep track of where you are at in the scrolling cycle.

Delay (ms)

Used to delay the MIDI stack (any of the 32 messages stored in a preset) for a predefined time.

This can be useful when you experience an external MIDI pedal that needs some time to process several MIDI messages. Inserting a small delay in between several messages will allow some time for that pedal to process each message individually.

Select the Value and the Multiplier (1,000 milliseconds ='s 1 second).

The range for this message type is 1ms to 10 seconds.
