Does it output MIDI Clock?

Yes, it outputs MIDI clock and sends start, stop, and continue MIDI messages.

Can I change the mix of a song directly on the device without a computer?

Yes, each output (including the headphones) has it's own mixer and can have a completely customized mix. All of this can be changed directly on the device.

Can I edit playlists directly on the device without a computer?

You can reorder songs within a setlist directly on the P-1 with firmware v3.30 beta. While playback is stopped, select 'Reorder Songs' from the main menu. Use the desktop software to create setlists and add or remove songs.

How many MIDI files can I play?

You can play one 16 channel MIDI file per song.

Are the outputs balanced?

The outputs are impedance balanced. Which means they can be used the same as fully balanced outputs.

Can I loop bits of audio, or get all the songs to play automatically in sequence?

Yes. For each song, you can choose 'Loop' to repeat the song, 'Queue next' to queue the next song until you press Play, or 'Play next' to start the next song automatically. Firmware v3.27 or later also supports 'Stop', which stops at the end without changing the selected song. To set 'Stop' in the desktop software, use v2.2.16 or later.

Can I control my MIDI enabled amp or effects pedal with the P-1?

Yes. If your amp or effects pedal is MIDI enabled then you can create a MIDI file with the relevant MIDI messages in, and set them to trigger at certain points in your track.

Does it read mono wavs as well as stereo?

Yes, it can read both.

Are the outputs stereo?

The 6 1/4" outputs are mono, the headphones output is stereo. The P-1 can play stereo wav files but they will be summed to mono if you route them to a single output. It is possible to link outputs and treat them as a stereo pair. This will mean a stereo wave will be split into left and right channel to the 2 linked outputs.

Can I use the stereo headphones output to use the device as having 8 outputs in total?

Yes, although the P-1 was not designed with this intention, you can could do theoretically do this as the headphones have their own mixer and can have a completely separate mix from the other outputs. You would however still be limited to a maximum of 6 stereo wave files being played at once though.

Will there be a more advanced unit with _____ feature?

We have many more ideas for developing this product and others, our ability to realise them relies on this first product being enough of a success :) That said, we are always keen to hear more about your needs and ideas, so get in touch.

What comes in the box?

In the box there is an Idoru P-1 pedal, a quick start guide, a suitable SD card, and a power supply with the correct blade for your shipping destination. To avoid unecessary e-waste, simplify sourcing, and keep the price as low as possible, we have not included any USB cable.

What kind of SD card should I use?

The P-1 comes with a 32GB A1-rated SD card, formatted as FAT32 and ready to use. We recommend a good-quality 32GB Class 10, A1-rated SDHC card for its random read performance. The card must be formatted as FAT32. A 32GB card holds approximately 50 hours of stereo 16-bit, 44.1kHz WAV audio in total across all files. With six stereo WAV files playing together for every song, that is roughly 8 hours of songs; actual capacity depends on the number and length of files and the space used by other data.

How many songs and setlists can I have on a card?

With firmware v3.27 or later and desktop software v2.2.16 or later, you can store up to 10 setlists on an SD card, with up to 100 songs in each setlist. Older versions support up to 7 setlists with 40 songs each.

How do I power the P-1 with a Cioks DC7 power supply?

The P-1 requires 12V DC, and 1000mA , and uses a tip-positive connection. You can power it with your CIOKS DC7 by following these steps:

1. Set the Outputs to 12V: Adjust two DC7 outputs to 12V each.
2. Combine Outputs for 1000mA: Use a Parallel Adapter Flex cable (e.g., CIOKS 8800) to combine the current from two outputs.
3. Ensure Correct Polarity: The P-1 is tip-positive, so use a reverse polarity Flex cable (CIOKS Type 2) or a polarity inverter adapter.

Once connected, everything should work.
