The F8 features 8 x 1/4" TS footswitch input, a 5-pin MIDI input, and a 5-pin MIDI output.

- The F8 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 F8 can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.
- The F8 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.
