Syncing the U6 Trio

The Trio talks to the Unity6 over UniPort 1 or UniPort 2 (UniPorts 3 and 4 do not support the Trio). After you plug it in, set the UniPort type and run a Sync so the Unity6 learns each switch.

Connect

  1. Use a standard ¼" TRS patch cable.
  2. Plug one end into the Trio Input jack and the other into UniPort 1 or UniPort 2.
  3. No power cable is needed for the Trio.
  4. Optional: daisy-chain a second Trio from the first Trio’s Thru jack into the second Trio’s Input (up to two Trios per UniPort).

Assign the UniPort

  1. From the Home Screen, open Global Settings.
  2. Open Program Uni Ports (Unity6 global settings).
  3. Set the UniPort you’re using to U6 Trio (not Expression Pedal, MIDI, or TRS).

Sync U6 Trio

  1. With the Trio plugged into that UniPort, choose Sync U6 Trio for that port.
  2. Press each Trio switch (A, then B, then C) when prompted / while the sync screen is active.
  3. You should see reading values appear only after you press a switch. Values should sit well above ~259 and go higher with each press. Exact numbers vary; what matters is that A, B, and C all register and climb (roughly A < B < C).
  4. Exit sync and test the switches with your Global or Global Override programming.

If sync looks wrong

  • Confirm the cable is TRS and the UniPort is saved as U6 Trio.
  • Sync again after reseating the cable.
  • A switch stuck at 0 (or never rising) usually means a connection / UniPort / hardware check is needed.
  • Full Trio programming details (Global vs Global Override) live in the U6 Trio book.
