Remote control expander mode

Remote control expander mode turns almost any MIDI-out capable keyboard, controller or control surface into an advanced standalone workstation, synthesizer and performance instrument. It is enabled by holding 10/A2 (and 9/A1 if you are using physical MIDI in, or 1/Cd if you are using Wireless MIDI) while turning on your Woovebox.

Once booted up with 10/A2 held down, remote control mode activates when;

• your hold the value button down for at least one second (hold it down again to exit remote control mode). Use this mode if your MIDI controller or keyboard is very basic, does not have a sustain pedal, and cannot send control messages on CC#80. This even works with toy keyboards with MIDI made as far back as the 1980s.
  

or;

• your Woovebox receives a sustain pedal press MIDI message (CC#64 >=64) on any channel, and deactivates as soon as the pedal is released (CC#64 <=63). Upon detection of a sustain pedal, this disables the value button mechanic described above.
  

or;

• your Woovebox receives a control message on CC#80 (same as sustain pedal), CC#81, CC#82, or CC#83 with a value >=64 on any channel. Note that receiving a message on these controller numbers turns off any subsequent response to CC#64. This frees up the sustain pedal (CC#64) for other uses from thereon. It also disables the value button mechanic describe above.
  

While the remote control expander mode is active, you can remote control your Woovebox by sending MIDI notes (for example the black & white keys on a keyboard) to send different button presses to your Woovebox.

You can control your Woovebox from most basic keyboards or control surfaces that have 24 keys/controls or more. For controllers with fewer controls, partial useful mappings can still be achieved by mapping selected MIDI notes to the available controls.

The display of your Woovebox will brighten while the mode is active as a visual indicator.
