Kabaragoya × you
For pedal brands.
Storm Summoner exists to make great pedals more playable. Three ways we can help each other — whether you build pedals, synths, or the videos people watch about them.
01 — The database
Supported on day one.
Storm Summoner ships with an onboard database of MIDI-enabled pedals, so players select parameters by name instead of memorizing CC tables. A searchable web version covering stereo and MIDI-capable pedals is on the way.
If your next release is in our database before it hits shelves, every Storm Summoner owner is a customer who already knows how to play it. Send us the details ahead of launch — embargoes respected, obviously — and support goes live the day you announce. Here’s what we need to know:
- TRS polarity: Type A, Type B or TS.
- Presets: How many, and whether they count from 0 or 1. Does it use CC0 for bank selection?
- The full CC table: Please note any mode-specific parameters.
- Clock: Whether the device receives or sends MIDI clock.
- Notes and pitch bend: Whether they’re supported, and what they do.
A manual and a CC table usually gets it done. We’ll follow up if anything’s unclear.
02 — Limited editions
Your launch, in walnut.
Storm Summoner’s face is a canvas: engraved artwork on hand-finished hardwood. For the right launch, we’ll redraw it around yours.
We team up with brands we admire on coordinated, limited edition drops: an alternate control surface designed together, timed to your pedal, synth or channel milestone. Your visual language, engraved in wood — down to the species of the wood itself. A collector’s piece that puts your release on desks and stages, and gives your audience something physical to want on announcement day.
- The canvas: An alternate Storm Summoner control surface built around your artwork, with enclosure options to match.
- The run: You decide how many exist. Limited means limited.
- The cost: Manufacturing is on us.
- Your part: Purely promotional. Put the drop in front of your audience alongside your release.
Not just for pedal companies — synth makers and creators welcome. If you have a release on the calendar and art worth engraving, let’s talk. Happy to mock up a custom control panel for your pedal first, no commitment — just enough to see how it feels on the face.
03 — IO glyphs
Say stereo like you mean it.
Quick: is that reverb true stereo, mono-in/stereo-out, or secretly mono? Right now the only way to know is to scan the manual for a sentence that may not exist.
Most product pages never show the jack panel, and mono pedals are coy about admitting it. Buyers deserve better, and so do the brands building genuinely stereo signal paths.
We’re preparing a set of IO glyphs — released to the Creative Commons — that declare a device’s mono, MISO and stereo routing at a glance. One mark for product pages, manuals and packaging. No more archaeology.
The set isn’t formally launched yet. If you want an early look, or a say in it before it’s frozen, get in touch.
