WiFi
Using the Unity6's built-in WiFi functionality
Connecting to the WiFi
The Unity6 broadcasts its own WiFi signal so connecting to the Unity6 can be done from anywhere at anytime even if you don't have access to the actual internet or cellular service. You just need to make sure the Unity6 is powered on and you have a device that supports WiFi (iPhone, iPad, Tablet, Android, Google Phone, Mac, PC, etc.).
The steps below are shown using an iPhone however the process will be very similar with any other device type.
Open your devices Settings and select the WiFi option
Make sure WiFi is turned on and then select the Unity6 network
Enter the password to connect to the Unity6: 12345678
Once connected to the Unity6, the MIDI clock will stop sending data and the Tap LED indicator will stop flashing. This stops the MIDI clock from interfering the direct communication between the web editor and the Unity6. We suggest connecting and disconnecting manually each time you want to use the web editor. Most devices have a default setting to automatically join/connect to the network whenever it is in range. We suggest turning this feature off so your phone doesn't interfere with your live performance by automatically connecting to the Unity6 and shutting off the MIDI clock.
Turn off Auto-Join to Unity6
Changing the WiFi Password
To change the WiFi password on the Unity6, navigate to the Global Settings Screen and press the Unity6 icon. Once inside the Unity6's global settings, press the "Change WiFi Password" button.
Once pressed, a keyboard will appear and you will be prompted to enter the Old Password. If this is the first time you are changing the WiFi password, the Old Password is "12345678".
If the entered password does not match the Old Password, you will be prompted to try again or contact JET Pedals for support in resetting your WiFi password.
If the entered password and the Old Password match, you will be presented with a new keyboard prompting you to enter your new password. Once entered, a confirmation screen will appear showing your new password and asking you to confirm or retry. If the Confirm button is grey'ed out, click Retry and make sure the new password is 8 to 16 characters long.
Using the Device Editor
Start by connecting to the Unity6's wifi, follow the instructions found here. Once connected to the Unity6's WiFi network, the following screen will be shown on the Unity6.
The Unity6 will be temporally disabled when you are connected to the device editor, disconnect from its WiFi in order to use the pedal again.
Open any web browser on your device (iPhone, iPad, Computer, etc.) and type in the following URL to access the device editor: jetpedals.local/beta
The device editor provides a very similar programming experience to programming directly on the device itself. This streamlines your programming experience by keeping consistency between the device and the editor and reducing the learning curve of the editor.
The editor and the pedal are completely in sync with each other, making a change on the editor will immediately be reflected on the pedal! Just like programming on the pedal, the device editor immediately saves any changes you make eliminating the need to save your progress after each change.
Below are a few images of the device editor showing how responsive it is on various devices.
