The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller accepts an expression pedal as an input and generates continuous MIDI data based on its position. The Pedal Controller may be inserted inline at any point in the MIDI data stream, allowing continuous MIDI data to be sent to any device in a MIDI setup.
The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller's factory default settings are for it to send CC#7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1, so if this is the message that needs to be sent then no programming is necessary - just insert the MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller in a MIDI setup and it's ready to use. The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller can also be programmed to send other types of MIDI messages. The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller can be programmed to send Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Control Change, and System Exclusive. The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller includes a MIDI Echo parameter that is selectable on/off.
The MIDI Solutions 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 MIDI Solutions 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 MIDI Solutions 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 MIDI Solutions 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 MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed. The MIDI Solutions 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 MIDI Solutions 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.
