Control your MIDI rig with an analog expression pedal with the MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller, a MIDI-powered utility device that converts an electrical signal to a variety of MIDI messages including aftertouch, pitch bend, control change, and system exclusive.

The Pedal Controller features a 1/4" TRS footswitch input that works with the Yamaha FC7, Roland EV-5, or any potentiometer connected to a 1/4" stereo phone plug. The Pedal Controller's factory default settings are for it to send CC#7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1. If this is the correct message for your application, then no programming is necessary. Simply insert the Pedal Controller in a MIDI setup, and it's ready to use.

• The Pedal Controller includes a MIDI Echo parameter that is selectable on/off.
• The Pedal Controller accurately tracks the position of the pedal or potentiometer connected to it. Small fluctuations are eliminated when the pedal is in a stationary position and no extraneous messages are sent out. When the pedal is moved slightly, the Pedal Controller will send an update even if its position has only changed by a single value. Many control wheels or knobs only update themselves every two or every four values, resulting in coarser control, and sometimes zipper noise.
• Another unique feature of the Pedal Controller is its ability to add a variable amount of curvature to the response of the pedal. This allows you to correct for pedals with nonlinear responses, or to add greater response at one end of the pedal compared to the other.
• The Pedal Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages. This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The Pedal Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed. The Pedal Controller's factory default settings are for it to send CC #7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1, with the Echo parameter set to On.
• The Pedal 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.

The Pedal Controller can be programmed to send:

• Aftertouch
• Pitch Bend
• Control Change
• System Exclusive

A: Because the faders are not automated, they will remain in the same physical position when you jump from one bank to another. However the levels on each bank will not change when you shift banks. The levels on the next set of banks will ONLY begin to change if you begin touching the faders.
