Trigger MIDI events with a footswitch or contact closure using the MIDI SOLUTIONS DUAL FOOTSWITCH CONTROLLER : 2 IN MULTI-FUNCTION MIDI EVENT GENERATOR, a desktop MIDI utility that converts electrical signals to a variety of MIDI messages including note, continuous controller, pitch bend, program change, and other messages and functions. The Dual Footswitch Controller features 1 x 1/4" TRS footswitch input, a 5-pin MIDI input, and a 5-pin MIDI output. Triggered MIDI events are merged with incoming MIDI messages and sent to the MIDI output of the Footswitch Controller.

Benefits

• MIDI Echo and Footswitch Toggle parameters are selectable On/Off.
• The Polarity of each input can be determined automatically on power-up, or programmed to be normally open or normally closed. It's also possible for the Dual Footswitch Controller to send out the state of its footswitch immediately on power-up rather than waiting for it to be depressed.
• The Dual Footswitch Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The Dual Footswitch Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.
• The Dual Footswitch Controller is MIDI powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
