A Step Up for Your Live Performance Bass Rig!
Add another dimension of MIDI-controlled sonics to your band’s sound with the Muse Kinetics 12 Step2 USB MIDI bass pedal foot controller. When both of your hands are tied up on the bass, the 12 Step2 can take the reins and augment your sound. Sweetwater bassists commend Muse Instruments’ shrewd arrangement of this foot controller — its keyboard-like layout allows for intuitive association and ease of use. By tapping a single key, you can trigger single notes, 5-note chords, clips, or even backing tracks. You’ll also have the ability to change parameters like pitch bend and volume to get the ultimate control over your sound. With Legato and Toggle modes, you can hold notes to create pads or backing harmonies. Not to mention, the included 12 Step editor software version 2.0 adds access to 60 included factory presets, 12 Step firmware, tutorials, and software templates!

This Muse Kinetics MIDI controller pedal seriuosly ups the standard for accessible keyboard controller pedals. With quick and easy control over your musical expression, you can take your live performances to another level.
