Welcome to the Coda Music Technologies® family. You’ve just purchased the most reliable, floor-based, hands-free performance solution available and we’re excited to play a part in your musical journey.
STOMP works with most Bluetooth® 4.0 and newer devices. This includes iPad 3® and later, iPhone 4s® and later, and most Android® devices running Android® 4.3 or later with Bluetooth® 4 or 5. STOMP is designed to work with compatible apps for Apple® iOS, Android®, PC, and MAC, that receive HID keyboard commands. There are literally hundreds of compatible apps available but for a short list of some of our favorites please visit codamusictech.com/apps. If you need assistance with your app, please contact the app developer directly.

STOMP is designed to operate from either a standard 9-volt battery or a 9VDC power supply. Both tip-negative and tip-positive power supplies are compatible. If you want to power a phone or tablet through STOMP’s USB port, you will need a 9VDC 1500mA power supply; however, if you only need enough power to utilize Bluetooth® functions then a 9VDC 100mA power supply is sufficient. If battery operation is desired, a high-quality alkaline type battery should be used.
Power Requirements
To power on or off your STOMP, make sure you have installed a new 9-volt battery or connected a compatible 9VDC power supply, then press and release the power button located in the top right-hand corner of the pedal. Once the pedal has been powered on, the blue status LED will flash slowly when in pairing mode, or become solid blue when paired.
Power ON/OFF
Pairing
1. Open your device’s Bluetooth® setup/settings menu.
2. Turn on Bluetooth® within the Bluetooth® settings.
3. Turn on STOMP using the power button located in the top right-hand corner.

5. Within your device’s Bluetooth® settings you should see “Coda Music Tech”.

STOMP has four selectable modes which work with the majority of apps on the market. The different modes are used to send different commands to your favorite app and device. Different apps use different modes, so make sure to experiment with STOMP’s four modes to determine which works best with your favorite app. A small, blue LED will indicate which mode is selected.
Modes
Activating the repeat button allows STOMP to send continuous commands vs. a single command when pressing and holding a switch. Pressing and holding the right switch, for example, will trigger an unlimited series of right arrow commands which will scroll through pages quickly and with one motion. If the Repeat function is OFF, pressing and holding a footswitch will send a single command to the receiving device. Pressing and holding the right switch, for example, will trigger a single right arrow command. To scroll through multiple pages with the repeat mode off, you will need to press the footswitch multiple times.
Repeat/Infinity Function
Mode 1: Left/Right Arrow
Mode 2: Up/Down Arrow
Mode 3: Page Up/Down
Mode 4: Space/Enter

STOMP operates as a “keyboard” within your device. Because of this your device may not automatically activate its built-in virtual keyboard function when STOMP is connected. If you need to make any notes within your sheet music app or use another function that requires keyboard abilities while STOMP is connected, you will need to activate STOMP’s Virtual Keyboard Function. To activate the built-in Virtual Keyboard Function, simultaneously press down both the left and right switches. This will temporarily disconnect your pedal from the host device and cause the status indicator LED to flash rapidly. To deactivate the function, press down both switches again. Please note that not all apps will respond to this feature and you may need to disconnect STOMP to utilize your device’s virtual keyboard depending on the app’s internal abilities. Also note that the virtual keyboard will only activate when a text box is selected.

Virtual Keyboard
STOMP will remain powered for up to 150 hours using a 9-volt 220mAh battery. To ensure extended battery life STOMP will activate sleep mode after 25 minutes of inactivity. Sleep mode disables all LEDs but keeps an active pairing status with your host device. To wake the pedal, simply press the left or right footswitch and the LEDs will emit again. The status indicator LED, located at the top-center of the pedal, will emit a blue LED when the power is above 25%. When battery life drops to 25% the LED will change to red and the battery should be changed before the next use. Sleep mode will not activate when the pedal is powered by 9-volt DC power adapters.

STOMP is equipped with a USB port to provide power to tablets and smartphones when connected to 9VDC 1500mA power. Please note that this feature is only designed to charge external devices (smartphones, tablets), it will not charge STOMP. To charge an external device, simply plug your STOMP pedal into a compatible 9VDC 1500mA power supply, and plug a USB cable into STOMP and your device. The charging voltage is 1A to ensure safe charging of smartphones, but it can also provide power to 2A tablets. If you are charging a 2A device such as an iPad, STOMP will keep it powered but recharge slowly. We recommend only using STOMP to keep your device charged rather than relying on 1A power to charge your device from zero.
USB Port
The status indicator, located at the top-center of your STOMP pedal, will provide you with information on the various connected states of STOMP. Use the following graph to determine the connected state of your STOMP pedal.
