An Easy-to-configure MIDI Controller Pedal
Tired of tap dancing around your pedalboard? Then get Source Audio’s Soleman. This MIDI controller pedal features two hardware MIDI outputs, enabling it to interface comfortably with multiple MIDI-controllable devices. It’s also plug-and-play-ready with Macs and PCs, thanks to its built-in USB-MIDI interface. The Soleman’s four footswitches make scrolling through scenes, launching individual MIDI messages, stepping through setlists, or triggering MIDI macros effortless. Beyond that, its Expansion port accepts two additional footswitches to make navigation even easier, while its Expression input accommodates an expression pedal for generating MIDI continuous controller messages. The Soleman includes a high-contrast LCD screen for displaying scenes, setlists, MIDI configurations, and more.
