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.
The Footswitch Controller is programmed by
sending it MIDI
System Exclusive messages (see
FAQs
- Programming). This can be done easily with the
Processors 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 products (see FAQs - Power
for more information). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the
product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
