MIDI Functionality
Configuring blueSky to Use MIDI
Using MIDI unlocks a set of tools that can be used to load any of blueSky’s 300 preset locations using a suitable MIDI controller or interface connected to the blueSky EXP/MIDI jack� This requires a Strymon
MIDI EXP cable or a MIDI controller/interface, such as Strymon Conduit, with at least one quarter-inch output�
NOTE: When using a Strymon MIDI EXP Cable, the MIDI OUT mode must be set to Off � (See

• Channel 1 : GREEN (default)
• Channel 2: AMBER
• Channel 3: RED
• Channel 4-16: BLUE (set by next received MIDI Program Change message, requires 1⁄4" MIDI connection)
Once the FAV LED turns BLUE , it will blink until the pedal receives a MIDI Program Change message� Once a message is received, the pedal will be set to the MIDI channel that carried the message and exit the power-up mode to allow you to begin using blueSky�
(If you’ve successfully configured MIDI Channel 4-16, you can skip step 4 on the next page�) pg 21

NOTE : A simple way to check that communication is working is to send
CC #102 with a value of 127 when the ON footswitch is bypassed� This will enable the ON footswitch on if MIDI is properly connected and configured�
NOTE: If you are only sending data to blueSky using the Strymon MIDI EXP cable, the MIDI OUT mode must be set to OFF

Saving Presets in MIDI Mode
When in MIDI mode, the currently loaded settings can be saved to any of blueSky’s 300 preset locations at any time�
1 To enter Save mode, press and hold the FAV footswitch� The FAV LED will blink BLUE to indicate that blueSky is waiting to receive a MIDI
Program Change message�
2 To save the current state of the pedal to the currently loaded preset location, press and hold the FAV footswitch until its LEDs lights BLUE �
OR
To save the current state of the pedal to any preset location, send the unit a MIDI Program Change on blueSky’s currently selected
MIDI channel� For example:
• Send MIDI Program Change #10 to save the preset to the corresponding memory location on the pedal�
• To recall this preset, send MIDI Program Change #10 from your
MIDI controller or sequencer
NOTE: Press the ON footswitch to cancel the save operation� pg 24

MIDI Specifications
MIDI Program Changes
blueSky contains 300 preset locations, numbered sequentially from
0-299� Because MIDI Program Change messages have a maximum number of 128 (0-127), the presets are grouped into three MIDI patch banks�
MIDI BANK 0 = PRESETS 0-127
MIDI BANK 1 = PRESETS 128-255
MIDI BANK 2 = PRESETS 256-299
0 Favorite setting (accessible via MiniSwitch)
for details�
1 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 1
2 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 2
3 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 3
127 Manual mode (“knobs”)
NOTE: Some MIDI applications and controllers start with MIDI Program
Change 1 instead of 0� In these setups, increment the MIDI Program Change locations above by one� blueSky always powers up in MIDI Patch Bank 0, so if you plan to stay within the first 127 presets, simply send a standard MIDI Program
Change message to load a preset�
If you will be using MIDI Banks 1 and/or 2, it is advisable to send a standard MIDI Bank Change message (MIDI CC# 0 with a value equal to the
MIDI Bank#) before each MIDI Program Change�
Selecting bank 0, patch 127 will put blueSky into Manual mode� In this mode, the pedal will be set to the current knob and switch settings� No preset data can be stored at this preset location� pg 25
