Here's a link to their manual

When you enter their setup mode at startup, you'll have to select the device profile that was created for the Meris pedals. There is one for the Ottobit Jr. and one for the Mercury7.

I always use a short TRS cable (Amazon has tons of options), but I just tried it with a standard guitar cable and it seemed to work fine. I'm in the habit of using TRS because we do both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT on the same jack. MIDI IN to the Meris Pedal on the tip, and MIDI OUT of our pedal on the ring.

Also make sure our MIDI channel matches the one of your DMC3xl. We default to MIDI Channel 1, but you can change it on our device in Global Configuration Mode

There a video on this? I had to use a darn video for the H9. I just cannot seem to understand it otherwise.

It's an ambiance-generating modulation machine with a delay network in it. It functions like a delay at one end of its spectrum of possibilities but then blasts off from there way into the other end of its spectrum, way into uhm... space... swirly space, deep washes and crazy reverb-scapes and outter space crazy time hyper-modulation stuff.

Many moons... it's a deep pedal

Our pedals can definitely receive both preset changes and Midi sync. They can receive preset data, MIDI CCs, MIDI Beat Clock, SysEx and more all from a single connection. I do this all the time with my setups at home and in the office.

I'd be happy to help you out over the phone, if you'd like to call during tomorrow during business hours. I'm confident we can help you out. Our direct office line is listed at the bottom of this page: https://www.meris.us/support/

first, you guys really are the best. your pedals are so very inspiring and unique - so bravo.

basically what I meant, and probably didn't explain clearly enough, is that I have a midi 'brain' if you will, sending tempos out to a variety of pedals (TC triple, sl20, etc) and I'd love to be able to send tempo AND have a preset box for the ottobit/other meris pedals. but if the preset box uses the 'midi in' 1/4 on the otto, how do I also send it tempo? will the preset box have an additional midi input so that it can go midi brain > preset box > otto and sent tempo thru?

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm 100% confident that we can find a setup that works for you. The MIDI implementation on all of our pedals is extremely comprehensive. You can set the tempo several ways including Tap messages via CC and MIDI Beat Clock.

Let's start here: what are you using for a midi 'brain'?

I was thinking in parallel, not series since my excess is I play through six amps and have for over a decade. I'm more interested right now in the modulation, maybe replace a TC Helix that I'm a little bored with and a SA Lunar that doesn't work. I realize the Polymoon does flange and chorus, not phase and that's ok.

Haven't seen or heard much of the modulation, the few clips so far have centered on the delay.

The Polymoon also has a pair of phasers. You're going to have way too much fun.
