Most of the APP has a MIDI control function, to make
the foot switch and expression pedal control the APP,
you need to specify their functions in the APP’s midi
control function list.
Take Guitar Rig and JamUp as an example, and other
APPs refer to this.
When using the Guitar Rig, set the MIDI control mode to
"Mode 2"; use "Mode 1" when using JamUp;

XTONE Duo Instructions
The function and performance of XTONE Duo are the
same as XTONE, so most of the methods of use can refer
to XTONE. The only difference between it and XTONE is
that it replaces the original expression pedal interface
with the microphone input interface. This means that the
XTONE Duo has two audio input channels, one for
guitar input (left channel, INL), one for microphone
input (right channel, INR), and the microphone input
channel with up to 50dB gain adjustment knob.
There are also a lot of effect software for vocal
microphone on smart device, such as VocaLive, JamUp,
BIAS. Among them, JamUp and BIAS can be used for
microphones because they have built-in speaker
simulations of vocal, and also you can add some reverb,
chorus and delay, then will get great vocal effects.
If you want to use the microphone effect software while
using the guitar effect software (singing and playing at
the same time), you need to make the following
software settings:
1) Open the guitar effects software (such as JamUp), set
it to run in the background mode, and set the audio
input channel to Left.
2) Open the microphone effect software (such as BIAS
Page 24
21
FX), set it to run in the background mode, and set the
audio input channel to Right.
3) Add some FX, and adjust the volume balance of the
two softwares, then you can singing and playing at
the same time.
Common Problem
An exception occurs while using Windows devices
You need to install the driver under the Windows device,
and you must use ASIO4ALL as your main driver,
otherwise it is prone to various unforeseen problems.

XTONE has 3 MIDI control modes. If the 1 modes are
