That's a really great and forward-thinking design feature! I approve whole-heartedly!

Unrelated to this, I would love to hear your comments on my Manta Firmware 8 and Hub Manager issues from above.

I will check that out. I notice that the Manta firmware is still version 8, so I am curious what is going to be different...

However, I also read in the description that pedals are now able to be on separate MIDI channels? I didn't fully understand how that would work. Is it possible that if I was using the newest pedal firmware but not the newest Hub firmware/Hub Manager that this would create an issue for MIDI?

Please let me know if updating the Hub Firmware helps. If not I will pass this along to one of our engineers to figure this out. [email protected]

I'm afraid that didn't work for me, I get "not a valid Win32 program" when I try to run the v2.0.5 Hub Manager after installation. (I have Windows XP, if that is a factor). I went back to 2.0.1 and that's fine.

In the current design, the three expression outputs are 10k, 10k, and 50k. The taper can be adjusted between linear and logarithmic using the user interface built into the hardware.

Based on our research, 10k is the most universal option and works with the most third-party equipment, but there are some pedals that work better with 50k, so that's how we arrived at this decision.

In the interest of future-proofing the design, the circuit board that contains the pots and switches is attached to the main board with a snap connector, which makes it easy to swap out - no soldering required. So, if we find that there is a demand for different values (like 100k), we could potentially make other replacement boards available, and the boards could be swapped using nothing more than a screwdriver.

Feedback on this topic is, as always, welcome!

Thanks for the reply - that is a great idea.

Will we be able to buy replacement daughter boards right out of the gate? I'm thinking rather than wait for the market to dictate you produce a 100K option, which it may never do, I could just get a spare board and hack in my own 100K pot, without the risk of bricking my pedal.

Contact us at [email protected] when the Reflex comes out and maybe we can arrange to send a custom 100k version to you directly!

Just tried to update the hub firmware on a mac (I have 1.11 right now, tried to update it to 1.13) and it says it cannot proceed.

Sorry! It’s some mac permissions thing we have to fix. Please Copy the firmware files to the desktop from the application folder. Then try the updates. Should work.

Yeah, looks like a permission issue ;) The post processing script did not do its job or something?
