Bluetooth pairing guide for Nano Cortex

Overview

Pairing your Nano Cortex with the Cortex Cloud app is a straightforward process that allows you to control and update your device directly from your smartphone or tablet. Once paired via Bluetooth, you can manage your Nano Cortex’s settings, presets, Neural Captures, firmware updates, and access other powerful features.

How to pair Your Nano Cortex with the Cortex Cloud app

Step 1: Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2: Launch the Cortex Cloud app on your smartphone or tablet. The app is available on iOS and Android platforms. If you haven’t installed it yet, download it from your device's app store.

Step 3: When prompted, grant the Cortex Cloud app permission to access Bluetooth. This allows the app to search for and connect to your Nano Cortex.

Step 4: In the Cortex Cloud app, go to the ‘Devices’ menu and tap Add New. Your smartphone or tablet will begin searching for nearby Nano Cortex units.

Step 5: To put your Nano Cortex into Pairing Mode, press and hold the EXIT and CAPTURE buttons simultaneously for 1 second.

You’ll know the device is in Pairing Mode when the GAIN LED ring illuminates in a clockwise direction, and Footswitch I's LED starts blinking slowly.

Step 6: Once your Nano Cortex is detected, the app will finalize the pairing process. After pairing is complete, the app will display the current configuration of your Nano Cortex.

Your Nano Cortex is now connected to the Cortex Cloud app.

Pairing additional Nano Cortex units (optional)

If you want to pair additional Nano Cortex units to the Cortex Cloud app, repeat the pairing process:

Step 1: Go to the ‘Devices’ menu and tap Add New.

Step 2: Put the additional Nano Cortex into Pairing Mode by pressing and holding the EXIT and CAPTURE buttons simultaneously for 1 second.

Step 3: Once paired, you can rename each Nano Cortex for easy identification in the app.

The app will finalize the pairing process and display the current configuration.
