More Info
Each of the 2 XLR sockets on the front face of the GpiO BOX can connect to up to 2 remote buttons giving a total of up to 4 control inputs. The GpiO BOX can also be used with Illuminated buttons. Each XLR supports 1 Illuminated button that will blink off when pressed.
When shipped the GpiO BOX MIDI will output Program Change commands on channel 1 for each controller input. This should be fine to get you started but programming the box to send custom musical MIDI commands is very simple. All you need to do is select "Learn Mode" on start up (mode switch to centre) and then, with your button boxes or controllers plugged in, press a control and send MIDI in to the GpiO BOX to assign a command to that control. Once learnt the GpiO box will remember your custom command set until it is overwritten or you perform a factory reset. A detailed guide to programming can be found in the User Manual.
Button Box
The GpiO BOX can connect to up to 6 Buttons or Controls in a verity of combinations. These might be Buttons, Buzzers, Foot switches, or even GPIO outputs from other equipment or sensors. Details on wiring up your own button box are shown in the User Manual available on this page. Alternatively you can choose one of our stock button available in the Cables and Accessories section of the website
