Network footswitch for X32 & Soundcraft Ui
The stompbox that runs your mix.
One stomp boosts your vocal. Another kills the FX while you talk. Your console does it, your hands never leave the instrument, and nothing needs a phone once the show starts.
Free forever for the core. Runs on a $5 board. Works when the internet doesn't.
What it does
Three jobs, done properly.
Not a blank canvas of MIDI numbers. Three tested moves that solve the moments where a self-mixing band actually loses the room.
- Hold
Solo boost
Press and hold to lift your channel over the band. Let go and the fader returns to exactly where the engineer left it.
See the setup →solo_hold_boost - Hold
Talk mode
One press raises your mic and mutes the reverb so the room hears words, not wash. Release and the mix snaps back.
See the setup →vocal_talk_mode - Tap
Toggle mute
Tap on, tap off. The LED shows the console’s real mute state, not what the pedal hoped would happen.

The part that matters at 21:00
It tells you the truth.
Most footswitches fire a command into the dark and light up regardless. This one reads the console back. The light means the desk did it — or it plainly tells you it didn't.
- Confirmed, not assumed. A write that the console never acknowledges is retried, then reported as failed. The LED never claims a change that didn't land.
- It won't fight your engineer. If someone at front of house moves the same control, the pedal drops its pending write instead of stamping over their decision.
- Hold means restore. Release returns the value the pedal captured when you pressed — not a stale number from earlier in the set.
What the light means
- Confirmedfader 0.75The console applied it and said so.
- PendingretryingSent, waiting on acknowledgement.
- Failedno ackGive up and flutter red. You know instantly.
- DarkofflineNo connection, so no claim about state.
Every state carries a colour, a cadence and a word — so it still reads under stage lights and for colour-blind eyes.
Learning
It notices when the engineer disagrees.
Say you boost yourself 6 dB, and the engineer pulls you back 2 dB while you're holding. Most pedals would repeat the same wrong 6 dB next chorus.
CueStomp watches what happened during the hold and learns the difference, so the next press lands where the mix actually wants you. Front of house gets to keep the final say without having to keep making the same correction.
On your network
No cloud. No account. No app to open.
It joins your Wi-Fi and talks straight to the console over the local network.
Setup is a captive portal and a web page served from the pedal itself — the same page works offline, because it ships inside the firmware rather than loading from anywhere. Core operation stays local and doesn't depend on our service continuing to exist.
Compatibility
What it talks to.
Including what it doesn't. If a console isn't on this list as supported, we haven't built it and we won't imply otherwise.

Build one this weekend.
A dev board, a footswitch, and about an hour. The core is free forever — not a trial, not a crippled demo, just the product.
