🎭 What Are Profiles in PedalinoMini™

Profiles in PedalinoMini™ are saved sets of configurations that define how your footswitches behave. Think of them like user presets — you can quickly switch between different control schemes depending on what you're doing:

  • 🎸 Profile 1: Control your guitar effects and DAW
  • 🎥 Profile 2: Trigger OBS scenes and sound effects
  • 🎤 Profile 3: Advance slides and control a teleprompter

Each profile can have its own banks, actions, sequences, pedal behaviors, and MIDI/HID mappings.

🧠 How Profiles Work

🔢 Three Customizable Profiles

You get 3 fully independent user profiles. Each profile contains:

  • Up to 20 banks of switch configurations
  • A Global Bank shared across all banks (e.g., for common actions like tap tempo or mute mic)

🔁 Switching Profiles

Profiles can be switched:

  • Using a footswitch assigned to the “Profile” action
  • Automatically via triggers like MIDI control changes
  • Manually via the Web UI: http://pedalino.local

🔒 Profile Persistence

The current profile is only saved when you explicitly save the configuration via the Web UI. If you switch profiles but do not save, the last saved profile remains active after a reboot. This means profile persistence depends on saving your changes through the Web interface to ensure the device resumes with your desired profile.

✨ Use Case Examples

🎵 Live Music Gig

  • Profile 1: Effects toggle + DAW loop control
  • Profile 2: Sheet music navigation + tap tempo
  • Profile 3: Backing track playback + mixer levels

📺 Streaming Setup

  • Profile 1: OBS scene switching
  • Profile 2: Mic/video mute, overlays
  • Profile 3: Control music/soundboard in background

🗣 Conference Presentation

  • Profile 1: Slide navigation
  • Profile 2: Trigger video clips
  • Profile 3: Scroll PDF script

🎛️ Switching Profiles or Banks via MIDI

PedalinoMini™ supports remote switching of profiles and banks using MIDI Control Change (CC) messages on channel 16.

🔁 Switch Profiles

To switch profiles (e.g., live during a performance):

Parameter Value
MIDI Channel 16
Control Number CC 0 (BankSelect)
Value Range 1 to 3

🔧 Example: Sending CC 0, value 2 on channel 16 switches to Profile 2.

⚠️ Values must start at 1 — Profile 1 = value 1, Profile 2 = value 2, etc.

📁 Switch Banks

To change pedal banks within the current profile:

Parameter Value
MIDI Channel 16
Control Number CC 32 (BankSelect + 32)
Value Range 0 to 20

🔧 Example: Sending CC 32, value 3 on channel 16 switches to Bank 3 in the current profile.

💡 Tip

You can program a DAW, MIDI controller, or footswitch to send these CC messages for seamless control of profiles and banks during a performance.
