qCONNECT supports controlling one USB MIDI device on MIDI channel 1. To connect a USB

MIDI pedal to qCONNECT, you'll need a USB cable that matches the type on your pedal and a

Disaster Area gHOST Adaptor Cable.

Enter Setup on the qCONNECT and configure USB as HOST.

Then set up the A device as a supported device type.

At this time, qCONNECT supports Zoom MultiStomp pedals (MS-50G, MS-60B, MS-70 CDR) as

ZOOM, Red Panda Tensor as TENS, or Red Panda Particle v2 as PRT2.

Example: If you want to connect an MS-70CDR, set DevA = ZOOM and USB = HOST.

Save the configuration and exit.

Power off the qCONNECT and your USB MIDI device.

Plug the gHOST Adaptor Cable into the USB port of the qCONNECT.

Plug the USB cable into the USB port of your MIDI device.

Connect the gHOST Adaptor Cable to the USB cable.

Power on both devices. The Preset Mode and A device modes should both control your USB

MIDI device.

USB HOST MODE TIPS:

qCONNECT can only control ONE USB MIDI device, USB hubs aren't supported.

Only devices that enumerate as Class-Compliant MIDI devices are supported. If your MIDI

device requires a driver for installation then we probably can't talk to it.

USB MIDI devices may be more susceptible to noise pickup than 5-pin or 1/4" devices. We

generally recommend either of those connection methods if at all possible.

Alexander Neo Series and Super Series pedals are NOT supported using USB. Please use the 1/4"

jacks to control them instead.

If you have to use USB MIDI and are experiencing unwanted noise from your device, you may

wish to install a USB isolating device between qCONNECT and your device.
