Overview

Dimensions & Power Requirements

Dimensions are 7" wide by 5" deep and 3.5" tall

Current draw is 200mA, use an isolated 9v DC negative tip power supply 

Overview

MIDI Capabilities

The Unity6 has a total of 127 banks, each bank has 5 presets, and each preset can send 32 individual MIDI messages on a single press.

A preset is tied to a footswitch and the BPM dial, yes even the BPM dial doubles as a footswitch and can send 32 individual MIDI messages!

Each preset has 8 different press actions (press, release, long press, double tap, etc.) that can be programmed to it, see the complete list of press actions here. You can group any or all of the 32 available MIDI messages to each individual press action, for example 14 MIDI messages tied to the press, 2 tied to the long press, 8 tied to the double tap, and so on. This allows you to get super creative and get the most use out of a single switch/preset.

Every time a bank is activated the Unity6 will fire up to 16 individual MIDI messages. This is useful for loading up dedicated sounds on your pedals for the intro of a song or to be used for anything you can think of.

Each preset also has 8 individual MIDI messages that can be used with each of the 2 expression pedals. Each MIDI message can be assigned to any MIDI channel and also have its own minimum and maximum values.

Overview

Re-Arrangeable Loops

The Unity6 has 6 individual mono loops that are routed in series. Each loop can be re-arranged on a per bank basis, meaning you can one loop order in bank 1 and a totally different loop order in banks 2, 3, 4, etc.

Each loop can be programmed to turn on/off individually or any combination of loops can be on/off at any given time.

Loops 4 thru 6 share the same TRS Send and Return jacks for loops 1 thru 3. Loop 1 jacks can also access loop 4, loop 2 jacks can also access loop 5, and loop 3 jacks can also access loop 6. To access loops 4 thru 6, first turn them on inside the Global Settings, then you need use two TRS to dual mono patch cables (one for the Send jack and another for the Return jack). The Send jack goes to the inputs of each pedal, the Tip goes to the pedal in loop 1 and the Ring goes to the pedal in loop 4 (same for loops 2/5 & 3/6). The Return jack goes to the outputs of each pedal, the Tip goes to the pedal in loop 1 and the Ring goes to the pedal in loop 4 (same for loops 2/5 & 3/6).

A good resource for custom made/length TRS to dual mono patch cables, is contacting our friends at Creation Music Company or Goodwood Audio.

Overview

WiFi Capabilities

The Unity6 has built-in WiFi and can be used for "Over the Air" firmware updates which allows for continuous feature developments on the Unity6. See here for more information on updating your firmware.

The built-in WiFi is also used to access the web editor to program and make adjustments to the Unity6. 

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.).

See here for more information on using the web editor.

Overview

Bluetooth Capabilities

The Unity6 has built-in bluetooth which can send and receive MIDI messages wirelessly. Giving you the ability to control software, plug-ins, DAW's, etc. without the need for external hardware and/or wireless adapters.

The Unity6 can receive MIDI messages via bluetooth and then use those messages to relay MIDI information out through the 5-pin MIDI Out Port and TRS MIDI via the 4 UniPorts. This allows you to control your complete pedalboard by receiving messages from your DAW (Ableton, Pro Tools, Logic, etc.), Multitracks' Playback app, or Loop Community's Prime app.

The Unity6 can receive MIDI PC messages to change banks and also receive MIDI CC and MIDI Note messages to virtually control each preset within a bank. These messages can engage any press action on any switch which will fire any of the MIDI messages programmed to that preset/press action. See here for a complete list of MIDI messages that can be received by the Unity6.

Operating the Unity6

Programming Via the Touchscreen

Programming the Unity6 using the touchscreen.

One of the first things you may notice about the Unity6 is that there is not a "Save" button anywhere inside our user interface. We've designed it this way to streamline the way MIDI programming is done and now you will never have to hook your controller up to a computer as everything you do inside the Unity6 is automatically saved and stored into permanent memory.

First press the center of the home screen to access the menu system then select the Programming icon.

Global-Settings.png

From here you have 3 options for programming the preset:

Exp-to-Volume.png

 

Programming Switches Screen:

Hamburger.png

Lets have a look at programming a preset tied to any switch. First press the Switch icon that you want to program and you will taken to the following programming screen.

Preset.png

Select from any of the 32 Message #'s available, select your Press Action (more on Press Action's here), select the Message Type (more n Message Type's here). Then fill in the required info, MIDI Channel, Number, Value, etc.

To continue adding additional MIDI messages to this preset, simply select a new Message # from the dropdown list and continue the process listed above.

Pressing the Back Arrow icon will take you back to the previous screen or pressing the Home icon will exit you from the menu system.

Remember there is no need to save any messages you have created, everything is automatically saved in permanent memory as you progress through the programming process.

To clear a preset, either press the "hamburger" icon or click the BPM knob to access the dropdown menu. Press the touchscreen or use the BPM knob to select the Clear Preset menu item.

Clear-Preset.png

 

Scribble Strip

Press the Scribble Strips icon to make any adjustments to the scribble strips and you will be taken to the following programming screen.

Scribble-Info.png

First make sure the scribble strip that you want to make changes to is selected from the scribble strip dropdown. You can press the placeholders to make changes to the Default Name or the Toggle Name. The Default Name is what will be shown in the scribble strip at all times or when the "On" message is sent from a toggle message type. The Toggle Name will be shown on the scribble strip whenever a toggle type message is pressed in the "Off" state. Leave the Toggle Name empty if you do not plan to assign any Toggle Type messages to this preset.

The character limit for scribble strips is 12 characters. 6 characters will fit on one line of the scribble strip and will be centered within the strip. Any characters over 6 will spill over on to the next line of the scribble strip.

Pressing the Strip Color button will take you to the following screen where you can select between 9 different colors,

Operating the Unity6

Press Actions

The Unity6 has 8 unique press actions that can be programmed to each preset. Press actions are useful for expanding the capability of each footswitch so you can maximize the functionality of each preset.

The 8 press actions are as follows:

Below is a table showing the sequence of actions that will fire Press Actions upon executing various switch press combinations:

Press-Action.png

Note that the "Press" action will always execute when pressing down the switch, so it is important to carefully plan your Press Actions within each message so you don't fire unwanted MIDI messages. An example would be assigning MIDI messages to two separate press actions, Long Press and Press. Anything assigned to Press will fire each time you execute the Long Press action. To avoid sending unwanted messages upon pressing the switch, assign MIDI messages to the Release press action instead.

On the other hand, maybe you want a message to fire immediately upon pressing and upon the Long Press Scroll. This comes in handy when scrolling through presets on external pedals. Single taps scroll through presets one at a time but holding the switch down will fast scroll through the presets.

 

 

 

 

Operating the Unity6

Expression Pedals

To program the expression pedal messages, first go into the menu by pressing the center of the home screen and then press the Programming icon.

Global-Settings.png

Then press the EXP1 or EXP2 icon to access the programming screen for either pedal.

EXP1.png

Once inside the programming screen for the expression pedals, you are presented with the options to set the Number, Min Value, and Max Value.

CC-EXP1.png

In the example above setting the Min Value to 50 will send CC#25 with a value of 64 (half of 0-127) when the heel is all the way down on the expression pedal. With the toe all the way down it will send CC#25 with a value of 127.

Each expression pedal has up to 8 individual messages it can send simultaneously which can be saved on a per bank basis. Each message can also have its own unique ranges of Min and Max values.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operating the Unity6

UniPorts

There are 4 UniPorts on the Unity6 and each of them can be assigned to provide various features for controlling external pedals or expanding the features of the Unity6. Below is the list of features and their functions available to the UniPorts:

* Consult with each manufacturers manual for the correct type of MIDI connection to use

 

Operating the Unity6

Expression to Volume

*** This Feature is Included in Firmware Version v2.0.0 and Above. ***

 

The Unity6 now has the ability to use a single expression pedal to control/send MIDI expression messages AND it can be used as a standard volume pedal. This can be saved on a per bank basis meaning one bank it can be a volume pedal and then jump to a different bank and use it an expression pedal to control parameters like Wah, Phaser, Decay Time, Repeats, etc.

Exp-to-Volume.png

Clicking on either checkbox will make the expression pedal as a volume pedal and it will disable the Exp Pedal control for that Bank.

Exp1-Volume.png

Exp1.png

Operating the Unity6

Copy | Paste | Swap

*** This Feature is Included in Firmware Version v2.0.0 and Above. ***

 

The Unity6 can now copy, paste, or swap whole banks (and individual presets) with a simple click of the BPM knob. Below you can see there is now a little "hamburger menu" at the top of the programming screen.

Operating the Unity6

Factory Reset

*** This Feature is Included in Firmware Version v2.1.0 and Above. ***

If you ever run into an issue where the Unity6 gets stuck on the loading screen, or simply want to wipe the pedal back to factory settings. You can hold down switches 1 & 3 upon applying power to the pedal and then follow the onscreen prompts.

Operating the Unity6

Global BPM

*** This Feature is Included in Firmware Version v2.1.0 and Above. ***

Global BPM is a useful feature if you want to jump back and forth between Banks and keep the BPM from changing when each Bank loads. This comes in handy when you use Banks for song presets (with a stored BPM) and then use the individual Presets to jump into different Banks to make MIDI changes to other pedals, loops, JHS Red Remote, etc.

Each Bank can be assigned to use the Global BPM feature within the Programming Menu Screen. Simply click the Global BPM checkbox which will insure this Bank will not update the BPM once it loads.

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

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.
