MIDI Solutions F8 Footswitch Controller Rack Mount

The MIDI Solutions F8 8-input MIDI Footswitch Controller provides eight 1/4" phone jack inputs for connection to footswitches or contact closures which can be used to trigger MIDI events. Triggered MIDI events are merged with incoming MIDI messages and sent to the MIDI output of the F8

Triggered event types are programmable and include: 

• Note
• Control Change 
• Pitch Bend
• Program Change 
• Start/Stop 
• System Exclusive

Other functions include: 

• Program Change INC/DEC
• Rechannelize 
• Transpose 
• Tap Tempo
• Note-On Filter 

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. It's also possible for the Footswitch Controller to send out the state of its footswitch immediately on power-up rather than waiting for it to be depressed.

The F8 Footswitch Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages (read the Programming FAQs for more details). This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The F8 Footswitch Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.

The F8 Footswitch Controller is MIDI-powered, and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products (for more information read the Power FAQs). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
