Unlock the full potential of your MIDI setup with the MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller. This clever utility device transforms your analog expression pedal into a versatile MIDI controller, empowering you to send a variety of MIDI messages such as aftertouch, pitch bend, control change, and system exclusive. By integrating seamlessly into your existing MIDI rig, it combines the nuanced control of an expression pedal with the robustness of MIDI functionality.

Designed for effortless connectivity, the Pedal Controller's 1/4" TRS input accommodates popular expression pedals like the Yamaha FC7 and Roland EV-5, or any potentiometer connected via a 1/4" stereo plug. Straight out of the box, it's set to send CC#7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1, ensuring you can start playing right away without any tedious programming. However, if customization is your game, this device is easily programmable through MIDI System Exclusive messages, and its settings are retained even after power-off, ready to be reprogrammed whenever inspiration strikes.

One of the standout features of the Pedal Controller is its ability to merge incoming MIDI messages with those it generates, creating a cohesive and dynamic performance environment. Additionally, a unique curvature adjustment allows for compensation of pedals with nonlinear responses, providing smooth transitions and eliminating unwanted fluctuations.

Key Features:

• Converts an expression pedal into a continuous MIDI controller
• Merges incoming MIDI messages with its generated messages
• 1/4" TRS footswitch input compatible with popular expression pedals
• Programmable via MIDI System Exclusive messages
• MIDI powered, eliminating the need for batteries or an external power supply
