Description

The Rocktron Midi Mate is your ultimate companion for seamless MIDI control on stage and in the studio. Designed with versatility and efficiency in mind, this intelligent foot controller allows musicians to unleash the full potential of their MIDI setup with ease. Unlike traditional foot controllers, the Midi Mate empowers you to send up to six preset changes across six different channels, along with five control changes, and simultaneously adjust a real-time parameter via a volume pedal. This means you can manage your MIDI gear's programming and live performance commands all at once.

A standout feature is its large seven-character LED display, which provides clear visibility of song titles, ensuring you always know your current preset. With robust EEPROM memory storage, you can rest assured that your presets will never be lost, making it a reliable choice for both studio sessions and live gigs. The Midi Mate also offers a 7-pin MIDI connector for phantom power, reducing the need for additional adapter cables on stage.

Operating the Midi Mate is straightforward with its three modes: BANK, INSTANT, and CONTROLLER. BANK Mode lets you navigate through 128 presets in groups of ten, while INSTANT Mode enables quick access to presets 01 through 99 with just two foot taps, allowing you to jump across banks effortlessly. CONTROLLER Mode offers the flexibility to assign buttons for controller tasks, such as toggling effects like chorus or delay, without leaving your preset mode.

Key Features:

  • Intelligent foot controller for comprehensive MIDI management
  • Supports up to six preset changes on six channels and five control changes simultaneously
  • Large seven-character LED display for easy preset navigation
  • EEPROM memory storage to safeguard presets
  • 7-pin MIDI connector for phantom power support
