PedalEditor vs Data Tap

A Brain for Brainless Pedals. PedalEditor is a curated MIDI editor and preset library for the guitar pedals and synths you already own. It runs on iPhone and iPad, connects over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB, and puts the full parameter map of every supported pedal on the screen — no laptop in the signal path, no proprietary editor for each brand. The pedal is the render target. Presets live in the app. —— SPEAKS FLUENT STRYMON BigSky, BigSky MX, blueSky V2, Brig, Cloudburst, Compadre, Deco V2, DIG V2, EC-1, El Capistan V2, Flint V2, Iridium, Lex V2, Mobius, NightSky, Riverside, Sunset, TimeLine, UltraViolet, Volante, Zelzah. 21 profiles.

About 200 more profiles are built and releasing — 10 to 15 a week, brand by brand. —— THE EDITOR Every parameter on the pedal's faceplate is a control in the app — named the way the pedal prints it, laid out in the order the manual describes it. Knobs, toggle switches, algorithm selectors, multi-position physical switches, and dip banks all render as their hardware equivalents. Switching effect categories (BigSky's 12 reverb machines, TimeLine's 12 delay machines) updates the parameter layout to match. Three save actions, deliberately distinct: • Save — writes to the app library. Nothing goes to the pedal. • Send — pushes the current state to the pedal without writing hardware memory. • Save on Pedal — arms the pedal via Program Change, then writes the slot. On supported Strymon hardware, Read from Pedal pulls the current parameter state back into the app. Capture All Presets sweeps the hardware preset bank and imports it as a named Collection — useful for backing up a pedal before a firmware update. The MIDI Monitor shows every message in and out for the connected destination, with raw hex and human-readable descriptions. —— HOW YOU ORGANIZE Rig → Project → Pedal → Collection → Preset. A Rig is a physical board: specific pedals, specific MIDI channels. Multiple Rigs coexist — a studio rig, a fly rig, a rehearsal rig. A Project is a purpose within a Rig ("Worship Band," "Studio Sessions"). A Collection is a named, colored bank of presets for one pedal in one Project — multiple Collections per pedal, each with up to three independent A/B/C state slots. Presets have freeform names, notes, tags, and lineage tracking; they are not bound by hardware display character limits. Songs hold ordered sections, each with the presets that section needs. Setlists hold ordered songs. Build the setlist before the gig. —— LIVE Open the Live tab, tap a setlist, and step through it. Each advance sends the Program Change and CC values for that section to every pedal on the board. The screen stays awake. No tap-dancing through hardware menus in the dark. —— Custom MIDI (128 Knobs) is always free. It sends CCs 0–127 on any MIDI channel, so it drives any MIDI device you own, no profile required. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Restore Purchases lives in Settings, and it works. Presets, rigs, songs, and setlists sync automatically across your iPhone and iPad via iCloud — no setup, no logins, same Apple ID. —— PedalEditor runs on iPhone and iPad. Bluetooth LE MIDI, USB MIDI, and Network MIDI (RTP-MIDI) over Wi-Fi — same app, same presets, whichever cable you prefer. The pedal still doesn't know your name. The app remembers everything.

Your phone is full of sensors. Data Tap helps you put them to creative use. Connect Data Tap to a computer on the same network and use OSC to stream what your phone senses: tilt, rotation and acceleration, fingers on a pad, loudness and pitch from the microphone, brightness and movement from the camera, hand position and pinch, facial expression, distance, and even GPS speed, heading and altitude. Every value arrives the same way: a number from -1.0 to 1.0, on an address you can read and copy. Nothing needs to be guessed on the receiving end. WHAT IT SENDS Motion: tilt, rotation, acceleration Touch: three fingers, with latch Proximity: on or off, a hand's width away Microphone: loudness, pitch, timbre, onsets Camera: brightness, color, movement Hand pose: position, pinch, openness Face tracking: expression and head tilt, plus every ARKit blend shape Depth: continuous distance, out to three meters Stage position: where you have moved, within two meters GPS: speed, heading, altitude, position SHAPED BEFORE IT LEAVES Every value has its own smoothing to calm a busy signal, and jitter to excite a steady one. Two global sliders scale all of them at once. A graph on every row clearly displays the outbound signal. ONE PORT EACH, OR ALL TOGETHER Send everything to one port, or individual values to different ports, up to fifty above the main one, allowing different tools that bind their own port to each receive different signals from Data Tap at the same time. RECORD IT Start a recording and every value is written to a CSV file with an unbroken timeline, ready to open and reuse anywhere. Each CSV file lands in your Files app, yours to copy and use. BUILT FOR A STAGE Freeze holds every value where it is. Pocket mode blacks out the screen and keeps sending, so the phone can go in a pocket. Awake stops the screen locking in the middle of a performance. FREE OR PRO Motion, touch and proximity are free, with no time limit and nothing held back. Data Tap Pro is a single purchase, once, that adds every remaining sensor along with CSV recording, pocket mode, and global controls. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Data Tap has no accounts, no analytics and no third-party code. What it reads is only sent as the OSC on your own network or recorded as a CSV to your own files. The camera, position, and microphone are read only while you have those sources switched on with permissions granted, and what they see and hear never leaves the device beyond the raw OSC values you decide to send. Requires iOS 15 or later.
