Very interested in ordering this. It would be near perfect for my pedalboard. Waiting to see some videos of it in action first.

Man this is totally neat!!!! Going to have to take a much closer look at this thing!

Luminite F10 Footswitch?

Manual states you can connect 2 of the above devices, but it doesn't yet appear to exist.

Seems like an interesting device. I'd like to see some example use cases. Curious to see how this product line evolves.

Good catch. I guess they want to see if it takes off and then make a footpedal to go with it. I think that would be pretty great because you could treat it more like a "MIDI hub" device with various control methods. If they keep the footswitch wireless capable, even better.

I used the XSonic Airstep in my rig but sold it due to some issues with the apps and not having any displays. Wireless MIDI worked very well.

Gotta say that the small controller you can attach to your guitar is quite appealing. Wondering whether it has any LEDs on board...

Hi guys ! Thanks for your interest. I'm quite excited for the launch :)

Luminite F10 is a 10-switch passive footswitch pedal, already under testing. There will be a dual mode wireless + wired version (F10W) after that, with the same features with the XY Controller (with forever battery life)

It does not have any LEDs, except the charging indicator one, as I wanted it to be as discreet as possible and the LCD screen is large enough for information feedback from a distance :)

This looks GREAT! Welcome!

That video goes so fast I have a hard time keeping up with what's happening! Easier to follow at half speed. Maybe you can add some subtitles on it to explain what is being done. In any case, it looks quite straightforward to operate and is making good use of the screen to type things in.

On TGP I asked for a few pedal-centric features that you said could be in the next firmware

• Naming MIDI channels. Easier to remember if it's named after a pedal for example.
• A view with what Program Changes are sent on each preset as a pedal name (MIDI channel) -> pedal preset (MIDI PC) list.
• Virtual knob or slider views for controlling pedal secondary params from screen, expression or XY remote.

Any potential timetable you could give for these? I'm sure you are busy with just getting the unit out the door.

Also if I were to order the M1, when could I expect to get it?

Sorry if its too fast, its actually an overview video rather than a walkthrough (I corrected the title). Yes I will upload a series of shorter videos with sub focusing on specific tasks later.

The next planned firmware update is 15th May. But it could happen earlier if no other major features to be added.

Expected shipping time is 7-9 days. Please check the website shipping page for more information:

I saw “Graviton” and read “Gravitron.”

Ok that's freakin' awesome! Great job!

I need to read through the manual and then order one of these. This is exactly the kind of stuff that will take my pedalboard setup to the next level.

My plan is to set up some of the most common Strymon secondary features to have visibility in the Graviton. These are things like:

• Nightsky pre-delay. It's "hold this tiny button and turn the reverb knob" on the pedal otherwise.
• Volante reverb decay. Similar deal.
• Iridium cabs. Turns out you can set any amp model to any of the 9 cabs if you set the cab via MIDI!
• Zelzah routing. Phasers in parallel or series in either order. This is a "hold this switch until LEDs blink, turn voice knob" which is a bit cumbersome to adjust and easy to forget how it's set up in a preset.

Basically stuff that does not have a dedicated knob so having visibility to the parameter can only help.

PS. Please link the manual table of contents to the section in the manual so you can just click to the relevant page from the table of contents. Overall it would be a good idea to add more links to it so that you can e.g go to Glossary real quick from the descriptions.

...and purchased! I'll be reporting back on how it works out!

The new parameter naming is great for this, and fast too. Should take a few minutes to name the whole board.

Thanks appreciate your support and feedback . Excited to hear more soon !

This is amazing. Graviton is on my very short list. As in, my "can I hold out through the end of the day" list.
