The MIDI Solutions Footswitch Controller provides a 1/4" phone jack input for connection to a footswitch or contact closure which can be used to trigger MIDI events (for eight footswitch inputs in a single rack space unit, see the MIDI Solutions F8). Triggered MIDI events are merged with incoming MIDI messages and sent to the MIDI output of the Footswitch Controller.
Triggered event types are programmable and include:
Other functions include:
MIDI Echo and Footswitch Toggle parameters are selectable on/off.
The Polarity of the footswitch can be determined automatically on power-up, or programmed to normally-open or normally-closed. It's also possible for the Footswitch Controller to send out the state of its footswitch immediately on power-up rather than waiting for it to be depressed.
The Footswitch Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages (read the Programming FAQs for more details). This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The Footswitch Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.
The Footswitch Controller is MIDI-powered, and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products (for more information read the Power FAQs). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
