Chapter A: Introduction

Graviton M1/M2 are next-generation MIDI controller pedals designed for guitarists and bassists who want to bring the full power of MIDI into their live or studio rigs — with total wireless freedom, effortless usability, compatibility, and expandability in an ultra-compact package.

Total Wireless Freedom

The Graviton M1/M2 can be fully remote-controlled using guitar-mounted XY/EC Controllers, each programmable for sending MIDI commands, switching banks, and more. Their intuitive design allows eyes-free operation, much like using a pickup selector switch—eliminating the need for “tap dancing” and letting you move freely on stage.

F6W or F10W wireless footswitches can be placed anywhere—on stage or in the studio—for maximum flexibility. Built-in Bluetooth MIDI adds wireless connectivity to a wide range of MIDI devices.

Effortless Usability

The Graviton M1/M2 have a large 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD, making MIDI programming fast and intuitive—no PC editor required. The user-friendly interface supports quick adjustments both on and off stage, and automatically saves every on-screen change. A wide range of MIDI commands and a suite of practical software features streamline your workflow.

Compatibility & Expandability

Control all types of gear—simultaneously—using 5-pin MIDI, TRS MIDI, USB MIDI, and Bluetooth MIDI. Control amps and effects with Relay switching, send Control Voltage to synths, and sync everything to tempo with MIDI Clock or Analog Clock. Pair up to 10 XY/EC Controllers (the 10 slots are shared between XY and EC) plus 10 wireless footswitches (F6W/F10W), and connect virtually any third-party footswitch or expression pedal via the TRS jacks—all working together seamlessly. The M1/M2 can also be remotely controlled by incoming MIDI messages, giving you maximum flexibility for any setup.

Ultra-Compact Footprint

The Graviton M1 and M2 are very compact, saving pedalboard space and weight. Use the M1/M2 to turn compact multi-effects pedals, amp modelers, computers, or iOS devices into portable and powerful gigging machines.

For the full feature list and hardware specs, see Chapter E: Features & Specifications.

Graviton M1

Front

• Display: 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD.

Back

• 9VDC: Power adapter input (9V center-negative, 500mA minimum).
• TRS 1 and TRS 2: MIDI Out (4 modes), or footswitch / expression pedal input, with 1/4-inch (6.35mm) stereo cables.
• TRS 3 (1/8 Out): MIDI Out Only — 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo MIDI out (Type A / Type B / Tip Active / Ring Active). No footswitch or expression pedal on this jack.
• USB: MIDI to and from a computer over a Type-C cable (the M1 can be USB bus powered).
• USB Host: MIDI to and from other USB MIDI devices. It can also power other devices, or charge XY/EC Controllers and F6W/F10W footswitches.

• USB Host: MIDI to and from other USB MIDI devices. It can also power other devices, or charge XY/EC Controllers and F6W/F10W footswitches.

⚠️ Note:* Use either USB MIDI or* USB Host MIDI — not both at the same time.

Side

• MIDI In: Standard 5-pin MIDI cable.
• MIDI Out: Standard 5-pin MIDI cable.
• Factory Reset: Insert a pin into the hole, then press and hold the button while powering on until the logo appears, then release. The device returns to its factory settings.

⚠️ Note:* Use either the 1/8-inch MIDI In or* the 5-pin MIDI In — not both at the same time.

⚠️ Note:* A normal reset (Settings → Data → Reset Data → All*) is enough in most cases, and keeps your Backups. A factory reset also erases Backups — use it only if a normal reset doesn't fix the issue.

Chapter B: Basic Workflow

The workflow can be summarized in 4 steps:

Step 1. Connect & Pair: Pair your F10W, XY, or EC, plug in an Expression Pedal, and connect cables to your other MIDI devices (amp, modeler, etc.).

Step 2. Programming Buttons: What does this button do?

Step 3. Programming Presets: What MIDI messages are sent?

Step 4. Programming Expression / EC Controllers: What happens when you sweep the pedal or rotate this knob?

Step 1: Connect & Pair

Pairing a wireless controller, and plugging in TRS footswitches or an Expression Pedal, is all done under Settings → General. See the Settings chapter for details.

XY and EC Controllers

To pair: General › Pairing → XY / EC → tap an empty slot and follow the on-screen instructions.

Wireless Footswitch Pedals

To pair: General › Pairing → F10W / F6W → tap an empty slot and follow the on-screen instructions.

Wired Footswitch Pedals

1. Plug into a TRS jack with a ¼″ cable.
2. General › TRS → that jack → Mode → Footswitch.
   • Type: → 1/2/3-button, F10/W / F6/W (Wired Mode)
   • Or Universal (custom / odd ladders — use Learn, below).

Debounce and calibration live under General › Pedals

Universal Footswitch Learn

For Universal (UFS) only:

1. Control › Footswitch Pedal → selector pill (TRS X: …) → pick the jack until the pill shows TRS X: UFS.
2. Long-touch a block → Learn → repeat for each switch.

Expression Pedals

Must be calibrated before use (calibration survives a TRS mode change).

1. Plug into a TRS jack.
2. General › TRS → that jack → Mode › Expression.
3. Calibrate it, and set Noise Filter / Toe–Heel / Response Curve if needed, from General › Pedals.

RV Adapters

1. Connect a stereo cable from a TRS jack to the RV's Relay In or CV In.
2. General › TRS → that jack → Mode: Relay Out (via RV) or CV Out (via RV).
3. Connect a mono / stereo cable from the RV's Relay Out / CV Out to the amp or effect.

⚠️ Note: The RV’s 9VDC input is only needed when sending CV.

Connecting MIDI Out

⚠️ Note*: Either the USB MIDI or* USB Host MIDI port can be used at one time, not both.

Step 2: Programming Buttons

The Control views are where you can program buttons.

Most buttons start out as Bank Preset: button 1 recalls Preset 1, button 2 recalls Preset 2, and so on — the usual MIDI-controller layout.

That means your footswitches are already mapped 1:1 to the Preset Library Presets by default. Just add some PC/CC messages and you have a good starting point.

The next step is adding Actions like Bank + or Bank −, if you also want to reach Presets in other Banks. Here's how:

Choose Button Actions

• Go to Control, then select the controller type — XY Controller, Footswitch Pedal, or EC Controller.
• If you have more than one controller of the same type, tap the selector at the bottom to pick which one — or just press a physical button and the screen switches to it automatically, highlighting the button you pressed.
• Long-touch a button block, then pick an Action from Main Actions / Song Actions.

Commonly Used Actions

• Bank Preset (1st–10th): Recalls the Preset at that slot in the current Bank. Example: 1st → Preset 1 in Bank 1, Preset 11 in Bank 2, Preset 21 in Bank 3. Default for most buttons.
• Global Preset (1–120): Always the same library Preset, regardless of Bank — e.g. a boost you want in every song, without copying it into all twelve Banks.
• Bank + / Bank −: Next / previous Bank.
• Song Preset scrolling (Song Mode): 1st–10th recalls that slot in the current Song; ← → ↑ ↓ scroll through Song Presets in order (verse → chorus → solo).

Every other Action is listed in Glossary › Button Actions.

Multi-Tap (1st Tap, 2nd Tap, 3rd Tap, Hold, Double Tap, Release)

A button can trigger a different action depending on how it's pressed:

• 1st Tap / 2nd Tap / 3rd Tap — trigger in sequence on repeated presses.
• Hold — trigger by pressing and holding.
• Double Tap — trigger on a quick double-press.
• Release — trigger when the button is let go.

There are two ways to do this:

Global

Tap the Yellow Down Arrow to open its Multi-Tap options. This is global — the same behavior applies to that button no matter where you are.

Per-Preset

You can also program Multi-Tap inside a Preset by using the Tap Marker, and assign it to a button's 1st Tap. This gives each Preset its own set of Multi-Tap actions, instead of the one global setup used above.

Example: a Preset contains: CC 1 → Hold → CC 2, CC 3 → Double Tap → CC 4, CC 5

Then, for that Preset's button:

• Normal press sends CC 1.
• Hold sends CC 2 and CC 3.
• Double Tap sends CC 4 and CC 5.

📝 Note: Fine-tune timing in Settings → Timing*.

How this differs from other MIDI controllers

• On most MIDI controllers, each button has a fixed job: button 1 = preset 1, button 2 = preset 2, and so on.
• On Graviton, you decide which button recalls which Preset from the Preset Library — in any order you like.
• Because Graviton supports several footswitch pedals, XY, and EC controllers at once, they can all work together as one rig.
• Example: Footswitch Pedal 1 covers Banks 1–2, XY covers Bank 3-4, EC covers Bank 5-6. Or they can map to the same Bank if you want.

Step 3: Programming Presets

A Preset is the list of MIDI messages sent when it's recalled. Build and edit Presets in Home → Preset Editor — see Home › Preset Editor for the full walkthrough.

Step 4: Programming Expression / EC Controllers

Set what an Expression Pedal sweep or an EC knob turn sends:

• Expression Pedals — see Control › Expression Pedal.
• EC Controllers — see Control › EC Controller.

Chapter C: Interface Walkthrough

Touch User Interface

There's no separate Edit mode and Play mode — almost every screen lets you program and play at the same time, and changes are saved automatically. There's also no single "right" way, so pick whichever workflow suits you best.

With Most Touch Object

• Single touch — select / send (like a left click), or rename.
• Long touch — extra options (like a right click): assign, rename, copy, etc
• Double touch — shortcut into Preset Editor if assigned.

📝 Note:* M1 and M2 share the same software, except M2 has more configuration for the extra ports.

Select a View

Bank Mode / Song Mode

Graviton has two ways to play your Presets. Pick the one that fits the gig — you can switch any time.

Bank Mode

Play Presets straight from the Preset Library, one Bank at a time.

• Bank + / Bank − or Bank Jump — move between Banks.
• Bank Preset — recall a Preset in the current Bank.
• Global Preset — recall a Preset that stays available in every Bank (e.g. a Solo Boost).

Best for quick, hands-on access when you don't need a fixed order.

Song Mode

Play Presets in a set order, organized by Song.

• A Song holds up to 10 Presets from the Preset Library.
• A Setlist holds up to 10 Songs from the Song Library.
• You can store up to 120 Songs and 120 Setlists.

Two ways to play:

• Setlist Library → Setlist → Song — for gigs with a fixed song order.
• Song Library → Song — pick any Song directly, no Setlist needed. Good for rehearsals or looser sets.

Presets and Songs are shared, not copied: the same Preset can appear in many Songs, and the same Song in many Setlists. Edit one, and every place it's used updates.

📝 Note: Controller settings are stored separately for Bank Mode and Song Mode*, so each mode can be set up its own way.

Home Views

The Home tab is where your Presets live. It has four views: two for building and storing Presets, and two for watching and playing them.

📝 Note: The Preset Library is the one shared pool of Presets. Every controller and every Song recalls Presets from here, so an edit in Preset Editor shows up everywhere that Preset is used.

Home › Preset Editor

Where you build a Preset: the MIDI messages it sends and how it behaves when you press it.

Quick Start

Programming a preset is very simple:

• Go to Home → Preset Editor.
• Tap “+” to add a Message (up to 16 per Preset).
• When the Preset is triggered by an Action, all messages are sent in sequence.

From the top:

• Preset Name: Tap to rename.
• Clock LED / BPM: Blinks in sync with the BPM when Clock is running.
• Bank: Tap to switch Banks.

Messages grid:

• Message Blocks:
  • Single Touch: Edit the Message.
  • Long Touch: Message menu (move, swap, insert, disable, delete, send).

Opening a message for editing:

• Type: Tap to change the Message type.

• Number / Note / BPM / Name (depending on the selected Type) : Tap to input a number by keypad.

  • If the type is CC/PC/Counter CC/PC or Note, you can switch to the “List” picker (top right corner), where you can view the list with attached Labels (Up to 255).
  • Add / Change / Remove Label
  • Swap Labels — copy/swap all labels from the current MIDI channel to another channel (Swap all Labels: Channel N › Channel: → confirm)
  • Labels Only — show only numbered entries that already have names

• Value / Velocity: Tap to input a value number by keypad.

  • Slider: If the Type is CC, Counter CC, CV or Pitch Bend a slider control will be shown, allowing you to drag and change the value by touch.

  • If the values are Counter CC/PC or CC/Clock Expression values, their colors will be yellow (changing values) instead of white (fixed values).

• Channel: Tap to change to another MIDI Channel (1 to 16). In the same screen, tap CHANNEL OPTIONS in the title bar for Rename or Change Color (when channel colors are enabled in Editor Options).

• Channel Name: Tap to rename the current MIDI Channel.

• ► : Send this Message.

Bottom menu bar:

• Toggle Mode — per-Preset Toggle / Momentary / Rotation status. See Toggle Mode below.
• Stomp On/Off toggle for this Preset (sends without becoming the main Current Preset). See Stomp Mode.
• Clock — Global BPM / clock status. Tap for the BPM keypad. See Clock below.
• ► — send / play this Preset.
• MIDI Out — per-Preset port mask. See MIDI Out (per Preset) below.
• Options — opens Editor Options:
  • Layout — Grid | List
  • Value Sliders — On / Off (change Values with touch instead of keypad)
  • Monochrome — On / Off (On = grayscale message backgrounds instead of channel colors)
• Delete — remove the last message.

Toggle Mode

Toggle Mode changes what a Preset does on repeated presses.

Normal

What gets sent as Off — two ways:

• Auto Off — program only the On messages. Graviton works out the Off messages for you:
  • CC → same CC with value 0
  • Note → same Note with velocity 0
  • Switch / Relay → the opposite state (Open ↔ Close)
• A/B — insert an A/B message as a divider. Messages before it are sent as On, messages after it as Off. Use this when On and Off need completely different messages.

Self Reset

When you move to a different Preset, this Preset quietly goes back to a starting state (nothing is sent):

• (Toggle On) Self Reset To On / To Off — returns to On or Off.
• (Rotation On) Self Reset To A — returns to the first step.

Self Reset + Send

Same as Self Reset, but the starting state is also sent — handy for keeping an external multi-effects unit in sync:

• (Toggle On) Self Reset To On + Send / To Off + Send
• (Rotation On) Self Reset To A + Send

Stomp On/Off

A Preset with Stomp On (shown with a lightning mark) still sends all of its messages, but it does not become the current Preset. Use it for background actions — delay on/off, a boost, tap tempo — without leaving the Preset you're playing.

Example: you're on "Verse Clean". A Stomp On Preset on another button turns the delay on. Live still shows "Verse Clean" — only the delay changed.

⚠️ Tip: Combine Stomp On with Toggle On so the same button turns the effect on and off, without changing the current Preset.

Clock

Send tempo from Graviton to a looper, delay, or drum machine. Set one global BPM here and choose how it's sent:

Set the BPM — in Home → Preset Editor, tap the clock button on the bottom bar to open the BPM keypad:

• Enter 40–300 to set the BPM (this also turns MIDI Clock on).
• Enter 0 to turn all clocks off.
• Use .00 / .25 / .50 / .75 on the bottom row for quarter-BPM steps.

Choose outputs — from the BPM keypad, open Clock Mode:

• MIDI Clock — turn MIDI Clock on or off.
• Analog Clock → — pick which outputs send Analog Clock (M1: TRS 1–2 Tip/Ring; M2: TRS 1–4 Tip/Ring + Relay Tip/Ring).

⚠️ Tip: To give a Preset its own BPM, add a MIDI Clock or Analog Clock message to it. Recalling that Preset overrides the global BPM.

More options in Settings → Clock:

• While Switching Presets — Keep All Clocks Running or Stop All Clocks.
• Analog Tap Clock Cycle — 4 Taps or Continuously.

MIDI Out (per Preset)

Choose which ports this Preset is sent to, instead of all of them.

Example: your delay is on TRS 1 and your amp is on USB. For a delay Preset, leave only TRS 1 on. For an amp Preset, leave only USB on.

⚠️ Tip: This is different from Channel Filter, which limits MIDI channels (1–16). To turn a port off for all Presets, use MIDI Routing → Out.

SysEx Library

Stores up to 120 SysEx messages across 12 Pages. To open it, add a SysEx message in Preset Editor and tap its Message / Value field.

From the top:

• SysEx Name — tap to rename.
• Page — tap to switch Pages.
• SysEx 1–120:
  • Single touch — pick this SysEx message for the Preset you're editing.
  • Double touch — edit the message (hexadecimal, up to 64 bytes).
  • Long touch — edit, rename, copy, swap, or delete.

📝 Note: For messages longer than 64 bytes, split them into several SysEx entries — the first starting with F0, the last ending with F7 — and add them to the Preset in order.

Relay and Control Voltage

Use Relay when the amp or pedal only has a footswitch jack, not MIDI — channel switch, FX loop, analog boost. M2 has a Relay port; RV Adapters add more on M1 or M2.

Example: Preset “Lead” sends PC to the modeler and a Relay Close on Tip so the real amp jumps to lead channel.

Use CV when a synth / modular wants voltage, not MIDI notes.

Relay Port

• A Relay Port is available on the Graviton M2, and more ports can be added to any M1 or M2 with RV Adapters.
• Relay Ports function as Virtual Footswitch Pedals, which can send Switching messages to devices with Footswitch Inputs, such as amps or effects, for changing amp channels / switching effects on and off, and more.
• Each Relay Port has a Tip and Ring output, which can control two Footswitch Inputs separately.
• For single device use, a mono cable can be used (Tip only). You can also use a stereo to dual mono splitter cable for Tip and Ring outputs, allowing you to control two devices at the same time.
• Add Switch messages in Preset Editor: choose Jack (TRS / Relay), Pin (Tip / Ring), and State (Close / Open, etc.).
• If Toggle or Momentary is enabled, the switched state during the 'Off' state will be the reverse of the 'On' state.

Control Voltage Port

• A CV Port (CV) is available on the Graviton M2, with more can be added to any M1 or M2 with RV Adapters.
• CV Ports can send CV messages to devices with CV interfaces, such as synthesizers and pedals. They can also function as Virtual Expression Pedals, allowing control of devices with expression pedal input jacks.
• Each CV Out has a Tip and Ring output, each controllable separately
• For single device use, a mono cable can be used (Tip only). You can also use a stereo to dual mono splitter cable for Tip and Ring outputs, allowing you to control two devices at the same time.
• Start using CV by adding CV messages to the Preset Editor, with the Jack, Pin / Range and Output (%) you want (static output).
• You can also control the CV messages Output % dynamically with external Expression Pedals connected to the M1/M2 TRS Jacks or with the EC Controllers, in the same way with CC messages.
• To drive the Expression Input (as a virtual Expression Pedal) of another pedal, ensure that the Range matches the maximum voltage allowed for that pedal (0-3.3V, 0-5V, or 0-9V).

Home › Preset Library

The Preset Library holds all 120 Presets (12 Banks × 10). It's one shared pool: every controller (XY, EC, footswitch pedals, MIDI In) recalls Presets from here, in both Bank Mode and Song Mode.

• Preset Name — tap to rename.
• Bank — tap to switch Banks.
• Preset blocks:
  • Single touch — send the Preset.
  • Double touch — open it in Home → Preset Editor.
  • Long touch — Preset menu (edit, rename, copy, swap, reset, change color).
• Toggle LED — shows On / Off for Toggle On and Momentary On Presets, or the current step for Rotation On.

Example: to start Bank 2 with the same clean tone as Bank 1, long-touch Preset 1 → Copy Preset → Preset 11, then adjust only what's different.

Home › Tracking

Tracking shows the real, current state of your other MIDI gear on Graviton's screen — patch number, effect on/off, delay mix — no matter whether the change came from Graviton or from the device itself.

Example: you turn the delay mix knob on your modeler. Tracking updates CC 11 on screen, so you always know where it's set.

⚠️ Note: For changes made on the device to show up, the device has to send MIDI back to Graviton. USB and Bluetooth MIDI work both ways on one connection. 5-pin and TRS MIDI only go one way, so you need a second cable from the device's MIDI Out to Graviton's MIDI In.

How it works

Open Select a View → Home → Tracking.

1. Set up a Tracking Preset. Add the PC and CC messages you want to watch — just like programming a normal Preset. You can have up to 10 Tracking Presets; tap the number at the top right (e.g. 1 / 10) to switch between them.
2. Graviton watches all MIDI traffic in both directions:
   • Outgoing — anything Graviton sends, from any source (an XY or FxW button, an EC knob, a Preset, …).
   • Incoming — anything the device sends back, whether you pressed something on the device or it sends automatic status updates (often called MIDI Feedback or Status Updates in the device's manual).
3. When a message matches, the screen updates:
   • PC — same channel → the PC number is shown.
   • CC — same channel and CC number → the CC value is shown.

Each PC and CC in a Tracking Preset is also a control: touch it to change the value and send it straight to the device.

Example

Your device changes patch on PC, turns FX1 / FX2 / FX3 on and off with CC 1 / 2 / 3 (value 127 = on, 0 = off), and sends updates back when you change something on it.

To watch the patch number and all three effects, add these to a Tracking Preset (any value):

• PC — patch
• CC 1 — FX1
• CC 2 — FX2
• CC 3 — FX3

What you'll see:

Home › Live

A performance view with the Preset name shown extra large. Touch controls are locked (except Back (<) and Options) so you can't change anything by accident.

• Toggle On / Momentary On Presets show an On / Off LED.
• Rotation On Presets show the current step (A, B, C, …).

Live Options

Tap Options to choose what each area of the screen shows:

Tap RESET to go back to the defaults. Bank Mode and Song Mode each keep their own Live Options.

Example: in Song Mode, show Preset in the center, Song at the top, and BPM at the top right.

Songs Views

The Songs tab has four views: two libraries where everything is stored, and two playing views for what you're using right now.

Two ways into Playing Song:

• With a Setlist: Setlist Library → Playing Setlist → Playing Song — for gigs with a fixed order.
• Without a Setlist: Song Library → Playing Song — for rehearsals or looser sets.

📝 Note: Nothing is copied. A Setlist points to Songs in the Song Library, and a Song points to Presets in the Preset Library — edit one and every Setlist or Song using it updates.

⚠️ Tip: Need more than 10 Songs in a set? Split it across Setlists stored next to each other in the Setlist Library — e.g. Friday 1/3, Friday 2/3, Friday 3/3 — then set Settings → Song Mode → At Setlist Ends to Next Setlist. When the last Song of 1/3 ends, Graviton moves straight on to 2/3.

Songs › Playing Song

The main view while performing in Song Mode: the current Song's Presets, in the order you'll use them (intro → verse → chorus → solo).

• Song Name — tap to rename.
• Song Presets 1–10:
  • Single touch — send the Song Preset.
  • Double touch — open it in Preset Editor.
  • Long touch — Song Preset menu (edit, rename, change, swap, remove). On an empty slot, this adds a Preset.
  • Toggle LED — shows On / Off for Toggle On and Momentary On Presets, or the current step for Rotation On.
  • A Stomp On Preset doesn't move the highlight — stomping a delay on top leaves the Song Preset you're on selected.

Song Options

Settings for this Song only:

• Song BPM — the tempo set when the Song loads. Off stops the clock instead of keeping the previous Song's tempo. Quarter-BPM steps are supported.
• Startup Preset — a Preset sent automatically when the Song loads:
  • None
  • Song Preset — 1st–10th from this Song.
  • Global Preset — any of the 120 Presets in the Preset Library.

📝 Note: Settings that apply to all Songs — At Song Ends, At Setlist Ends, Presets Self Reset on Song Change, and Layout — are in Settings → Song Mode.

Songs › Playing Setlist

The current Setlist, with its Songs in running order. Tap a Song to open it in Playing Song.

• Setlist Name — tap to rename.
• Songs 1–10:
  • Single touch — open and play the Song in Playing Song.
  • Long touch — Song menu (open, rename, change, swap, remove).

Example: the encore isn't on the Setlist. Long-touch the last slot → Change Song and pick it from the Song Library.

Performance tips

• Assign Song Library ±, Setlist Library ±, Song Jump, or Navigate Actions to footswitches to move through the set hands-free.
• Use View Jump / View Toggle to get to Playing Setlist or Playing Song quickly.
• What happens at the end of a Song or Setlist is set in Settings → Song Mode (At Song Ends, At Setlist Ends).

Songs › Song Library

Where all your Songs are stored, across 12 Pages.

• Song Name — tap to rename.
• Page — tap to switch Pages.
• Songs 1–120:
  • Single touch — open and play the Song in Playing Song.
  • Long touch — Song menu (open, rename, copy, swap, delete).

📝 Note: To add a Song to a Setlist, open the Setlist in Playing Setlist and long-touch a slot.

Songs › Setlist Library

Where all your Setlists are stored, across 12 Pages — e.g. one for a club gig, one for a festival, one for an acoustic set.

• Setlist Name — tap to rename.
• Page — tap to switch Pages.
• Setlists 1–120:
  • Single touch — open the Setlist in Playing Setlist.
  • Long touch — Setlist menu (open, rename, copy, swap, delete).

Control Views

The Control tab is where you program and play each connected controller. Every control is one of three types, and each type sends something different:

• Actions — Presets, Bank ±, Tap Tempo, … (see Step 2: Programming Buttons).
• Encoder messages — sent as you turn a knob. Pushing a knob works like a button and sends an Action.
• Expression messages — sent as you sweep a pedal.

📝 Note: Buttons work the same in every view — the same Actions, Multi-Tap, and settings. See Control › Button Settings below; learn them once, use them everywhere.

Control › Button Settings

Per Button

Long-touch a button block (or single-touch an empty block) to open this menu:

Per Controller

Global Bank

• On — this controller shares one bank with every other controller set to On. Changing the bank on any of them (Bank +, Bank −, Bank Jump) changes it on all of them.
• Off — this controller has its own bank. Changing it doesn't affect any other controller.

Example: set both footswitch pedals to Off so pedal 1 stays on Banks 1–6 while pedal 2 stays on Banks 7–12.

Bank Min / Bank Max

Set the range of Banks this controller can reach — Bank +, Bank −, and Bank Jump all stay inside it.

Bank Wrap

This decides what happens when you go past the end of the range:

• On — Bank + on Bank Max jumps to Bank Min, and Bank − on Bank Min jumps to Bank Max.
• Off — the bank stops at Bank Min / Bank Max.

Example: Bank Min 1, Bank Max 4. On Bank 4, Bank + goes to Bank 1 with Bank Wrap On, and stays on Bank 4 with it Off.

Focus

Focus decides whether the screen jumps to a controller's view when you press one of its buttons.

One setting for the whole controller, or one per button

• From the controller's bottom menu, Focus:
  • All buttons — pick one choice for every button on this controller (the M2's built-in switches, one F10W, one XY, …).
  • Per button → On — each button uses its own Focus setting.
• From a button's Action popup (long-touch a block), Focus:
  • This button — pick a choice for just this button.
  • All buttons → On — this button follows the controller-wide setting again.

Self Reset Tap

Say a button is waiting on its 2nd Tap or 3rd Tap, and you press a different button. Self Reset Tap decides what happens to the first button:

Example: button 1 steps through three delay times (1st / 2nd / 3rd Tap). With On, after pressing another button, button 1 starts over at the first delay time on its next press. With On + Send, the first delay time is sent right away.

Set separately for each controller (the popup title is Self Reset 2/3rd Tap).

Control › XY Controller

The buttons of your paired XY Controllers — up to 10, each with its own view.

From the bottom menu:

• Controller — switch between paired XY Controllers.
• Layout — XY (arranged like the controller itself), Grid, or List.

Buttons are programmed and set up like everywhere else — see Control › Button Settings.

Control › Footswitch Pedal

Everything on the floor: the M2's built-in footswitches, paired F6W / F10W pedals, and third-party pedals plugged into the TRS jacks.

From the bottom menu:

• Pedal — switch between footswitch pedals (e.g. M2, TRS 1 : F3, F10W : 1).

• Layout — depends on the pedal:

  • 10- and 6-button pedals: Grid or List.
  • Universal (resistor-ladder) pedals: pick any grid shape (5x2, 3x2, 2x2, …) to match the pedal.
  • F2 / F3 TRS pedals: Swap L/R instead, to flip the left and right switches.

  Buttons are programmed and set up like everywhere else — see Control › Button Settings. Universal pedals are taught with Learn (see Universal Footswitch Learn).

Example: Custom layout with Universal Footswitch

Control › MIDI In

Virtual buttons fired by incoming MIDI Trigger (5-pin, USB, or Bluetooth) instead of a physical press: 12 Pages × 10 buttons = 120. Use it when another device is in charge — a DAW, a lighting desk, or another MIDI controller — and you want its PC / CC messages to run Graviton Actions.

Example: your keyboard sends PC N → Graviton recalls Preset N.

Each virtual button runs the same Actions as any other button — see Control › Button Settings.

From the bottom menu:

• Layout — Grid or List.
• Apply To — whether the controller settings (Global Bank, Focus, …) apply to This Page or All Pages.

Differences from physical buttons:

• Incoming MIDI has no "let go", so Hold, Double Tap, and Release aren't available.
• Receiving the same message again still steps through 2nd Tap / 3rd Tap (e.g. PC 1 again = 2nd Tap).

Absolute Trigger

Fires on one exact message — a set Channel, Number, and Value (where they apply).

Relative Trigger

Set Number to Relative. Any message on the matching Channel / Value fires the Action, and the number received picks the target:

Use Offset to fix off-by-one numbering between devices — e.g. if receiving 10 recalls Preset 11, set Offset to −1.

Control › EC Controller

Turn a knob to change a value smoothly — delay mix, reverb level, gain, BPM — like an expression pedal you control by hand. Each EC Controller has 2 knobs: turn them (clockwise / counterclockwise), or push them down to use them as 2 buttons.

Example: left knob = delay mix, using a Counter CC so the mix doesn't jump when you change Presets. Push the knob to bypass the delay.

How it works

Knobs don't send MIDI directly. They drive Encoder messages that you place inside a Preset:

An Encoder message can control the message right after it:

• CC and PC
• Counter CC / Counter PC (+ / − / Update / Send)
• Control Voltage
• Clock (BPM)
• Pitch Bend

Quick Start

1. Go to Home → Preset Editor and tap + to add a message.
2. Change its Type to Encoder. Leave Encoder Channel on All for now.
3. Tap + again and add a CC message right after it.
4. Turn a knob — the CC value changes on screen and is sent.

EC knobs settings

Each knob has three blocks: < (turn counterclockwise), + (push), and > (turn clockwise).

Long-touch < or > to set up that knob:

• Adjustment — Increase or Decrease.
• Encoder Channel — All (default) or 1–20.
• Run the Encoder messages in the:
  • Active Preset — the knob controls whatever the current Preset contains. E.g. reverb mix in Preset 1, gain in Preset 2.
  • Global Preset — the knob always controls one chosen Preset, whatever Preset is active. Good for fixed jobs like master volume.
• Sync tab (< only) — by default < mirrors > in the opposite direction. You can assign it a different Action instead.

Long-touch + to assign an Action, like any other button — see Control › Button Settings.

To switch between ECs, press any button on the EC you want, or use Controller in the bottom menu.

Encoder message settings

Encoder Channels work like MIDI channels. Each knob has an Encoder Channel, and each Encoder message has one too. Turning a knob only runs Encoder messages with the same channel. All on either side matches everything.

Advanced

Encoder + Counter CC / PC. Put an Encoder message in front of a Counter CC or Counter PC to get Min, Max, and Wrap Around, which a Counter doesn't have on its own. The Encoder's direction and Step replace the Counter's. The value is kept across Preset changes — ideal for global parameters.

⚠️ Note: The knob's Adjustment (Increase / Decrease) overrides the Counter's + / − direction.

Stacking. Several Encoder messages in front of one message all control it. Give each a different Min / Max / Step — e.g. one knob for coarse and one for fine adjustment.

Scroll CC Number. When enabled on an Encoder message, the knob changes the CC number instead of the value, and Min / Max / Step / Wrap Around apply to the number. Stack it with a second Encoder to pick a parameter with one knob and adjust it with the other.

Buttons as knob clicks. Any button — a footswitch, an XY, or a MIDI In trigger — can act like one click of an EC knob. Assign it the Encoder Click Action (Assign Action → Main Actions, on 1st Tap or Hold only). Then set the same options as an EC knob: Adjustment, Encoder Channel, and Active Preset / Global Preset. Use it to step a value up or down with your feet, e.g. one footswitch for Increase and another for Decrease.

Control › Expression Pedal

Sweep an Expression Pedal to change a value continuously — volume, wah, delay mix. There are two ways to set it up:

⚠️ Note: If a jack has a Global Expression Preset and the current Preset has Expression messages, the pedal controls both. Stick to one method per jack, or switch deliberately with Assign Expression (below).

Assigning an Expression Preset

Control → Expression Pedal shows one tile per TRS jack set to Expression. There are two ways to assign an Expression Preset to a jack — use whichever you prefer:

• From the Editor: tap the jack's tile to open its current Expression Preset in the Expression Preset Editor, then tap the number at the top right to open the Expression Preset Library and pick a different one.
• Directly: long-touch the jack's tile → Change Preset to go straight to the Expression Preset Library and pick one. (Edit Preset in the same menu does the same as tapping the tile.)

To change it automatically, add an Assign Expression message to a normal Preset. Pick the TRS jack (1–2 on M1, 1–4 on M2) and the Expression Preset. When that Preset is sent, the jack switches to the new Expression Preset.

Expression Preset Editor

Works like the Preset Editor, but only holds Expression messages. Tap x / 10 at the top right to open the Expression Preset Library.

Expression Preset Library

10 Expression Presets, shared by all pedals in both Bank Mode and Song Mode.

• Expression Presets 1–10:
  • Single touch — assign it to the current pedal.
  • Double touch — open it in the Expression Preset Editor.
  • Long touch — Expression Preset menu (edit, rename, copy, swap, Reset Preset to clear it).

📝 Note: The Editor and Library always work on the pedal you opened them from. Moving a different pedal makes it the current one, and the screen follows. To pick a pedal on purpose, go back to Control → Expression Pedal and tap its tile.

Good to know:

• You can assign an Expression Preset to an empty jack and plug the pedal in later.
• Changing a TRS jack's function doesn't delete its Expression Preset.
• When you change Presets, the pedal's current position is sent, so the new sound starts where your foot already is.

Settings

General

Display

• Brightness: LCD brightness, from 1 to 10.
• Touch Lock: After 5 / 10 / 30 seconds of no touch (or Off), the screen locks so a stray touch cannot change anything. Footswitches, XY/EC, and other controllers keep working. When locked, the back button turns red — double-tap it to unlock.
• Rotate 180: Flip the display 180 degrees (upside down).
• Calibrate: Use Start if touch accuracy drifts.

TRS

Choose what each TRS jack does.

Mode:

• MIDI Out: Send MIDI to other gear. Pick the Type that matches the device's TRS wiring (if you're unsure, try each type).
• Footswitch: A wired footswitch pedal.
• Expression: A standard expression pedal.
• Relay Out (via RV): Connect to an RV Adapter's Relay In (switching through the adapter).
• CV Out (via RV): Connect to an RV Adapter's CV In (control voltage through the adapter).
• Switch Out: Connect directly to another pedal's AUX, tap-tempo, or channel-switch jack.

MIDI Out Type:

• Type A: Tip: Signal, Ring: Power (the MIDI standard).
• Type B: Ring: Signal, Tip: Power.
• Tip Active: Tip: Signal, Ring: Floating.
• Ring Active: Ring: Signal, Tip: Floating.

Footswitch Type:

• F10/W: Luminite F10 or F10W in wired mode.
• F6/W: Luminite F6 or F6W in wired mode.
• 1-button / 2-button / 3-button: Common TRS footswitches; the layout is chosen automatically.
• Universal: A generic resistor-ladder pedal — use Learn (see Universal Footswitch Learning).

Calibration, debounce, and expression curves are in General › Pedals, once TRS has set the Mode / Type.

⚠️ Switch Out (switching directly over a TRS jack) is meant for low-voltage pedals (5V or less), which includes most digital effects from brands like Strymon, Boss, Chase Bliss, and Eventide. It may pick up noise from ground loops.

Analog pedals and amp channel-switching jacks often carry more than 5V, which can damage the TRS jacks. Use the M2 Relay port or an RV Adapter instead — they switch any voltage and eliminate ground loops.

Pedals

Fine-tune each footswitch and expression pedal — the M2's built-in footswitches and any TRS jack set to Footswitch or Expression in TRS.

Footswitches (M2 built-in, F10/W, F6/W):

• Calibrate → Start: Fixes misaligned footswitches (e.g. pressing button 2 triggers action 3).
• Debounce: Raise it (roughly 1–8) if presses feel glitchy or double-fire. Higher filters more, but registers presses slightly slower.

Digital footswitches (1/2/3-button) have nothing to calibrate.

Expression pedals:

• Calibrate → Start: Detects the plugged-in pedal type (potentiometer value, hot tip, or hot ring) and sets it up. Sweep the pedal fully when prompted.
• Options:
  • Noise Filter: Reduces value jitter while the pedal is still. Higher values reduce jitter more but can feel less smooth.
  • Toe / Heel: Normal or Reversed — flips which end of the sweep sends the higher value.
  • Response Curve: Linear (default), Log (simulate a volume pedal’s curve on a linear pedal), or Anti-Log (flatten a volume pedal’s curve so it behaves more linearly).

USB

The Graviton M1/M2 can act as either a USB Device or a USB Host. (A USB Device can only connect to a USB Host, and vice versa.)

• Device (USB Type-C port): Connect the M1/M2 to a computer, phone, or tablet (these are always USB Hosts), or any other device with a USB Host port.

In this mode the M1/M2 can be powered and connected with a single USB cable (bus-powered). Make sure the host port can supply enough power (1A or more).

• Keyboard On/Off: Turns the Graviton M1/M2 into a virtual USB keyboard. Use it with Keystroke messages to control DAWs, computers, and iOS devices — especially DAWs with lots of keyboard shortcuts, such as Ableton Live.
• Rename (Off / On): Tap Rename when Off to type a custom USB device name (the unit restarts). When On, tap Rename again to turn custom naming off and restore the default name. Useful when several Graviton M1/M2 units connect through a USB hub.
• Host (USB Type-A port): Connect other USB MIDI devices (e.g. pedals, MIDI controllers).

Host mode needs the M1/M2 powered from 9V. It can also power the connected device through its USB-A port, so make sure the 9V adapter can supply enough current for both.

⚠️ Note: USB MIDI doesn't work with both the USB (Type-C) and USB Host (Type-A) ports plugged in. Connect only one at a time and set the USB mode to match.

Bluetooth

The Graviton M1/M2 can take either the Bluetooth Peripheral or Central role. (A Peripheral can only connect to a Central, and vice versa.) A Peripheral broadcasts its presence (advertising); a Central scans for advertising Peripherals and starts the connection (pairing).

The M1/M2 reconnects automatically after a power cycle in both roles, as long as the other device supports it too.

• Mode: Off / Peripheral / Central. Off disables BLE (Restart to take effect ?).
• Peripheral: Connect to computers, phones, tablets, or Bluetooth MIDI devices in the Central role.
  • Advertising: Whether the Graviton M1/M2 is visible to unpaired Bluetooth devices when they scan.
    • Off: Not visible to other Bluetooth scanners.
    • Auto (default): For connecting to a single Central device. Advertising stops after a successful connection and resumes if disconnected.
    • Always: For connecting to multiple Central devices. Switch back to Off afterward to avoid unwanted connections from unpaired devices.
  • Rename (Off / On): Tap Rename when Off to type a custom advertising name (the unit restarts). When On, tap Rename again to turn custom naming off and restore the default name.
  • Devices › Manage: Lists bonded hosts (iPhone, iPad, Mac, and similar) by name. Tap one to Forget it — for example a stale iPhone link that keeps stalling on "Connecting…". Also choose Forget This Device on the iPad or Mac when needed.

In Peripheral mode the M1/M2 can pair with up to 3 Central devices. Pair from each Central device separately.

• Central: Connect to other Bluetooth MIDI devices that are advertising (in the Peripheral role).
  • Search › Start: Scan for nearby advertising Bluetooth MIDI devices, then tap a name in the scanned list to connect.
  • Devices › Manage: Lists paired peripherals (up to 3). Tap one to Connect or Disconnect temporarily, or Unpair it. See PIN code below when a device needs a pairing PIN.

PIN code

Some devices (e.g. Eventide H90) show a PIN on their own screen when pairing. If so, the PIN Code keypad pops up while Connecting... — enter the 6 digits shown on the device. You only need it once; after that the device reconnects on its own.

If that device later forgets the pairing, its row under Devices shows a yellow PIN. Tap it → Enter PIN to pair again.

The M1/M2 remembers the devices in this list and reconnects to them after a power cycle.

Connection guide:

• CME WIDI:
  • Option 1: Set the M1/M2 to Peripheral mode and unpair the CME device from anything it was paired with before. They connect automatically.
  • Option 2: Set the M1/M2 to Central mode and unpair the CME device from anything it was paired with before. Then Search → Start → tap the device name in the list to connect.

⚠️ Note:* For 1-to-1 MIDI connections, you can use either option. For CME WIDI Groups, use Option 1. For other brands or custom MIDI groups, try either option* and see which works best for your setup.

• macOS:
  • Set the M1/M2 to Peripheral mode.
  • On your Mac, open Audio MIDI Setup → Window → Show MIDI Studio, click the button with the Bluetooth logo → select Graviton M1/M2 BLE → Connect.
  • Then select Graviton M1/M2 BLE as the MIDI input/output in your DAW or app.

⚠️ Note: The M1/M2 won’t appear in the system Bluetooth settings like regular devices such as headphones or speakers.

• iOS / Android:
  • Set the M1/M2 to Peripheral mode.
  • On the phone or tablet, scan and connect from the Bluetooth or settings page of the app you're using.

⚠️ Note: The M1/M2 won’t appear in the iOS or Android system Bluetooth settings like regular devices such as headphones or speakers.

• Windows:
  • Set the M1/M2 to Peripheral mode.
  • Windows 10: Devices → change Devices discovery to Advanced → Add Device → Graviton M1/M2 BLE.
  • Windows 11: Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Add Device → Show more → Graviton M1/M2 BLE.
  • Once paired, you need a UWP app from the Microsoft Store to connect and route MIDI to your software, for example:
    • MIDIberry BLE — connects to BLE MIDI devices.
    • BLE MIDI Tester — for testing the connection.

⚠️ Note*: BLE MIDI devices like Graviton M1/M2 will appear as "Not connected" or "Disconnected" in Windows Bluetooth Settings if no UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app is actively using them. This is normal behavior — the BLE MIDI connection is app-driven*, not system-level like classic Bluetooth audio or HID.

• Other Bluetooth MIDI devices (advertising):
  • Set the M1/M2 to Central mode.
  • General › Bluetooth › Search → Start → tap the device name in the list to connect.

Pairing

Pair Luminite wireless controllers here (Bluetooth MIDI pairing is under Bluetooth). Tap XY / EC or F10W / F6W, tap an empty slot, choose the type if asked, and follow the on-screen steps.

• XY / EC: Up to 10 XY/EC Controllers — handy if you play several instruments, each with its own controller.
• F10W / F6W: Up to 10 wireless footswitches. Tap an empty slot → Pair a new Wireless Footswitch → choose F6W Footswitch or F10W Footswitch → hold the leftmost top and bottom switches as prompted → Paired Successfully.
• Channel › Change: If interference causes wireless dropouts, try another channel (Change Pairing Channel). All paired XY/EC Controllers and wireless footswitches must be re-paired after a channel change.

Timing

Button timing, in milliseconds:

• Double Tap: The longest gap between two presses that still counts as a double tap.
• Hold: How long a button must be held to trigger its Hold action.
• Hold Repeat: While a button is held, how often its action repeats (300–2000 ms, default 1000 ms; Off = no repeat).
• Send Delay: The short gap between messages whenever Graviton sends a sequence (e.g. a Preset, or an expression sweep) — in effect, a global sending rate.

Increase Send Delay if the receiving device misses messages because they arrive too fast.

⚠️ Note: If the value is high and a Preset with many messages is sent, the M1/M2 may seem to freeze briefly — it finishes sending before doing anything else.

Footswitch debounce and calibration are in General › Pedals.

Clock

While Switching Presets:

• Keep All Clocks Running (default): Clocks keep running, unless the new Preset contains a Clock stop message.
• Stop All Clocks: Clocks stop as soon as you switch to another Preset.

Analog Tap Clock Cycle:

• 4 Taps: Send 4 taps, then stop (for pedals that only need 4 taps to set their BPM).
• Continuously: Keep sending Analog Clock, like MIDI Clock.

Data

Save all your data — Presets, Songs, Setlists, Settings, and more — into a Backup. You can keep up to 10 Backups (e.g. one per rig) and switch between them.

• Backup: Opens the Backup screen with 10 slots:
  • Save / Load: Save everything into a slot, or load a slot back — switch between rigs in seconds.
  • Import / Export: Copy a slot to or from another device over Wi-Fi — move a rig to a second unit, or keep a copy on your computer.
• Reset Data:

• Hardware factory reset (pin hole on the unit): Restores the factory firmware and erases Backups too. Use it only as a last resort — Reset All is enough in most cases. See Graviton M1 / Graviton M2.

Update

• Update / Rollback: Check for and install an over-the-air software update over Wi-Fi (needs internet access). No computer needed.
  • Latest Beta: Try the newest features before their official release.
  • Latest Stable: Tested and recommended for regular use.
  • Previous Stable: Go back to this if the latest Stable introduced a bug.
• You can switch between Beta and Stable at any time without losing your data.
• For gigging, stay on Stable.

If an update fails — possible causes and fixes:

• Weak Wi-Fi signal: Move the M1/M2 closer to the router and try again.
• No access to the router: Connect the M1/M2 to your phone's hotspot instead.
• Weak or noisy power supply: A poor 9V/USB adapter can affect Wi-Fi reception. Try a different power source.
• Interference nearby: Try updating somewhere else if possible.

⚠️ Note: If you're updating from pre-4.6.5 and the update gets stuck in a crash loop, try turning off any connected Bluetooth devices. This was fixed in 4.6.5 and later.

Song Mode

These settings only apply in Song Mode, not Bank Mode.

• At Song Ends — what happens when you scroll past the end (or beginning) of the current Song:
  • Off: Nothing.
  • Wrap Back: Jump to the first (or last) Song Preset.
  • Next Song: Jump to the next (or previous) Song.
• At Setlist Ends — what happens when you scroll past the end (or beginning) of the current Setlist:
  • Off: Nothing.
  • Wrap Back: Jump to the first (or last) Song.
  • Next Setlist: Jump to the next (or previous) Setlist.
• Presets Self Reset on Song Change — what happens to Preset Toggle / Rotation states when you load another Song:
  • No Reset: States stay as they are.
  • Self Reset to On: All Presets in the Song reset to On.
  • Self Reset to Off: All Presets in the Song reset to Off.
  • Self Reset to On+Send: Reset to On and send the On messages.
  • Self Reset to Off+Send: Reset to Off and send the Off messages.
• Layout: Grid or List for Playing Song.

Each Song's own Song BPM and Startup Preset are set on Songs › Playing Song → Song Options.

MIDI Routing

Each column is a port family — one switch for a group of related jacks, not a single plug:

Each button applies to the whole family. For example, disable 5-pin+TRS › Out and Graviton stops sending on 5-pin and on every TRS MIDI Out jack.

• Out (enabled by default): Graviton sends its own messages on that interface (Presets, Actions, Expression, Tracking, etc.). Disable it to mute that path without changing any Presets.
• In (enabled by default): Graviton receives MIDI on that interface (MIDI In Actions, Tracking feedback, SysEx capture, etc.). Incoming MIDI must arrive on a column with In enabled before anything else can act on it — including Through.
• Through (disabled by default): passes incoming MIDI on to your other ports. See Through below.
• Clock (enabled by default): MIDI Clock can be sent on that interface. The BPM comes from the Preset Editor's BPM keypad or a Preset's MIDI Clock message; General › Clock decides whether clocks keep running when you switch Presets. An external clock is forwarded by Through, not by this button — real-time ticks pass through whenever Through is enabled.

Through

Through passes along MIDI that comes in from outside.

• 5-pin In → 5-pin Out. With 5-pin+TRS In and Through on, anything arriving on a wired In is copied out the 5-pin Out and the TRS MIDI Out jacks, like a normal MIDI thru.
• USB and BLE don't echo. A message is never sent back to the same USB port or Bluetooth device it came from, so a computer or iPad does not get its own clock and notes echoed back. It can still be passed on to your other ports.
• Watch for loops: only enable Through on the paths that should carry MIDI onward, away from Graviton. Don't plug the output of a device that also has thru on back into Graviton's 5-pin In, or messages can chase around the circle.
• Source and destination can differ. Example: a PC arrives on USB (In enabled). If 5-pin+TRS › Through is enabled, it's forwarded out the 5-pin / TRS MIDI Out jacks. If BLE › Through is also enabled, it's forwarded over BLE too.
• Graviton's own messages don't use Through — they always go out through Out. Through only forwards what arrives from outside.
• Typical use: Graviton sits mid-chain. Example: a laptop on USB sends clock and PCs → Graviton → delay and amp on 5-pin. Enable USB › In and 5-pin+TRS › Through so the pedals still hear the laptop. Graviton's own Presets still go out through Out.
• To limit which MIDI channels are sent by Out / Through on each port, use Channel Filter (below).

Channel Filter

Choose which MIDI channels (1–16) each port may send (Out) and forward (Thru — the same as Through on MIDI Routing).

Example: your amp on TRS 1 listens on channel 1 and your delay on TRS 2 on channel 2. Allow only channel 1 on TRS 1 and only channel 2 on TRS 2, so each Program Change reaches only the device it's meant for.

Each column is a port, or a group of jacks that share one filter, listed left to right:

On the M2, TRS 1, TRS 2, the 5-pin jack, and the 3.5mm jack share one filter.

Tap Out or Thru on a port, then tap channel numbers (1–16) to allow or block them. ALL (top-right) allows every channel.

In isn't set here — incoming MIDI is controlled from MIDI Routing.

MIDI Monitor

MIDI Monitor is the "is anything even arriving?" screen, useful for troubleshooting. It shows a live view of incoming MIDI from active interfaces (5-pin, USB, BLE).

Supported Message Types

• Note On / Off
• Control Change (CC)
• Program Change (PC)
• Pitch Bend
• SysEx (System Exclusive)

⚠️ Real-time messages (MIDI Clock, Active Sensing, …) are hidden here to keep the list readable. Clock still runs on the ports — you just don't see every tick.

SysEx shows a short hex preview in Value — tap it for the full message.

Safe Mode / Boot Issue

If the unit keeps crashing and restarting on its own (a crash loop), the next startup shows a Boot Issue screen instead of the normal Home view.

• Continue: Starts the unit in Safe Mode — Bluetooth off, USB Host off — so you can still use it and get your data out. Export a backup before turning Bluetooth or USB Host back on, in case they're what's causing the crash.
• More Options:
  • Import Export: Send a backup off the unit over Wi-Fi (same as General › Data › Import / Export).
  • Reset Settings: Restores default settings only. Presets, Songs, Setlists, Actions, and Backups are kept (same as General › Data › Reset Data › Settings).
  • Reset All: Full user-data wipe. Backup slots are kept (same as General › Data › Reset Data › All).

Use Continue first and export a backup while you still can. Only use Reset Settings or Reset All if a normal boot keeps failing and Safe Mode doesn't fix it.

Chapter D: Glossary

Common Terms

• Controllers: Devices that control the Graviton M1/M2 — the XY/EC Controller, a Footswitch Pedal (the M2's built-in footswitches, an F10/W, an F6/W, etc.), or the MIDI In port, which triggers Actions from incoming MIDI CC/PC messages.
• Buttons: Physical switches on the controllers above, or MIDI messages received through MIDI In. Each button can be assigned multiple Actions — 1st Tap, 2nd Tap, 3rd Tap, Hold, Double Tap, and Release.
• Preset messages: The messages programmed inside a Preset (see Home → Preset Editor). Can be MIDI (CC, PC, Note, SysEx, etc.) or non-MIDI (CV, Relay, etc.).
• Button actions: Messages assigned to a button under Control (XY / EC / Footswitch / Expression / MIDI In). Can be Bank Preset/Global Preset, Bank +/−, Song +/−, etc.
• Presets: A collection of up to 16 Preset messages, organized into 12 Banks of 10 Presets each — see Home → Preset Library. Presets are shared between all controllers.
• Current Preset: The Preset most recently sent (recalled).
• Toggle: Latching On/Off (or Rotation) behavior on a Preset, so one button sends a different message each time depending on its current state.
• Bank: A group of 10 Presets.
• Song: A collection of up to 10 Presets, picked from the Preset Library.
• Song Preset: A Preset that's part of a Song.
• Setlist: A collection of up to 10 Songs, picked from the Song Library.
• Playing Mode: Bank Mode or Song Mode. Switch it from Select a View (top-right BANK MODE / SONG MODE → popup Playing Mode). Button Actions are stored separately for each mode.
• Expression Message: A message type whose value tracks an expression pedal's position continuously, rather than a fixed value.
• Expression Preset: A group of up to 6 Expression Messages.
• TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve): A stereo jack, available in either ¼” or ⅛” sizes.

Preset messages

Tap Type in Preset Editor → Select a Type. Use Page 1 / 2 in the title bar.

Page 1 — MIDI, More, EXP EC

• MIDI (tab) →
  • CC: Send a Control Change.
  • PC: Send a Program Change.
  • Counter CC and PC with + / - / Jump: A normal CC / PC always sends the exact value you stored. Counter CC and Counter PC work differently, in two ways:
    • They remember their last value. Each +, −, or Jump message moves a running counter instead of sending a fixed number, so the value keeps climbing (or jumps) every time you trigger it—it doesn’t reset back to where it started.
    • They sync across Presets. Think of every Counter CC (or PC) message with the same Channel/Number as copies of one shared message, mirrored across however many Presets use it—nudge the value from any one of them, and every copy updates together. Counter CC applies this to a CC value. Example: give the delay-mix Counter CC to several Presets (verse, chorus, solo)—the current value is retained and synced between them, so bumping the mix up on one carries over no matter which of those Presets you switch to next. Pair it with an EC encoder or Expression to sweep a global level like reverb, delay, or gain. Counter PC applies the same idea to program numbers. Example: use the same Counter PC as a patch scroller in different Presets—the current patch number is always displayed correctly.
    • Each Counter CC / Counter PC message does one of three things:
      • +: Step the counter up by Step, then send.
      • −: Step the counter down by Step, then send.
      • Jump: Tap Mode to choose:
        • Jump+Send: Set the counter to the Jump target, then send.
        • Jump: Set the counter to the Jump target, don’t send.
        • Send (Current Value / Current Number): Send the current counter, don’t change it.
