Configuration
On the underside of the pedals, there is a circular hole.

This will expose a disk drive to your computer.

Double click SE2 SmartSet App (Win).exe) and configure.
MacOS
NOTE:
Macos does not allow you to combine modifiers on one keyboard, and keypresses on another (ex: ctrl on footpedal, t on keyboard).
- Ignore the identify keyboard prompt from macos.
- You'll need to install, and allow permissions for karabiner.
It will create a virtual keyboard, then allow you to combine keypresses between different keyboards (ex: ctrl on footpdal, t on keyboard).
- Clear any modifications on all keyboards in
Settings > Keyboards > Modifier Keys.
- Within Karabiner assign the following to Apple Internal Keyboard
left_option -> left_command left_command -> left_option capslock -> left_control
- Everything should work as expected.
Undocumented macos modifiers are not required, but here are their names:[opt] [cmd]SmartSet New MacOS versions require 64-bit programs, the latest smartset app is too large for the pedals to record it.
Just edit pedals.txt instead.
