Key Features

MIDI Functionality:

  • Custom MIDI Messages: The Footswitch Controller allows you to program custom MIDI messages that can be sent when a footswitch is pressed. This includes MIDI Note On/Off, Control Change, Program Change, Start/Stop, and more, offering flexibility in how you control your MIDI setup.
  • Single or Dual Footswitch Control: The device can be used with either a single footswitch or dual footswitches, depending on your needs. With dual footswitches, you can assign different MIDI messages to each switch, allowing for more complex control setups.
  • Programming Flexibility: MIDI Solutions offers a downloadable programming tool that allows you to configure the Footswitch Controller via MIDI. This tool is easy to use and enables you to set up the device to send the exact MIDI commands you need for your particular setup.

Connectivity:

  • Standard Footswitch Input: The device features a standard 1/4″ input jack for connecting a momentary footswitch. It is compatible with most momentary (non-latching) footswitches, making it easy to integrate into existing setups.
  • MIDI In/Out: The Footswitch Controller has a MIDI input and output, allowing it to be placed anywhere in your MIDI chain. It passes through MIDI data from other devices while adding its own footswitch-controlled messages.
  • Power via MIDI: The device is powered by the MIDI connection, so no additional power supply is required. This makes it a convenient and portable solution for controlling MIDI devices without the need for extra cables or batteries.

Applications:

  • Live Performance: Ideal for live performers who need hands-free control of their MIDI devices. The Footswitch Controller can be used to trigger samples, change patches, control effects, or start/stop sequences, all with a simple foot press.
  • Studio Recording: In a studio setting, the Footswitch Controller can be used to control DAWs, hardware synthesizers, and other MIDI gear. It’s especially useful for musicians who play instruments that require both hands, as it allows for seamless MIDI control without interrupting your playing.
  • Multi-Instrumentalists: For musicians who play multiple instruments or switch between different MIDI devices during a performance, the Footswitch Controller provides a way to streamline control and make transitions smoother.

Build and Design:

  • Compact and Lightweight: The MIDI Solutions Footswitch Controller is small and lightweight, making it easy to fit on a pedalboard or alongside other MIDI gear. Its durable construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of live performance and frequent use.
  • Easy Setup: The device is plug-and-play with most MIDI setups, requiring no special drivers or complicated installation processes. Simply connect your footswitch and MIDI cables, program your desired messages, and you’re ready to go.
