midiBeam 4Control USB Interface & MIDI Expression/Footswitch Controller
Product Description
How It’s Innovative
1. Very flexible assignment possibilities in the editor;
2. Unique application when switch pedal determines the functionality of the expression pedal
Most Inspiring Use Cases
In the London theatre production “Ocean At The End Of The Lane” there is a 4 meter high, huge scary spider-like puppet with 5 legs. With membrane switch keypad contacts under each foot the sensors were connected to a midiBeam 4Control interface box, and the MIDI signals were transmitted by midiBeam V2 Wireless to the off-stage technicians. Every step of the giant generated a unique bomb-like sound.
Expansion Plans
A board with four potentiometers, hiding two 4Controls in order to provide a device for live control of MIDI parameters.
Commercialization
Users of the Future Impact bass synthesizer can exploit the advantages of midiBeam 4Control, using it to connect a Program Down pedal, a Sustain pedal, a VCF modulation expression pedal, or a remote control for any arbitrary MIDI function.
