Description

This product is intended for anyone wanting to build their own custom controller or build projects where they need to turn several switch events into MIDI data. It comes as a ready built and tested circuit board only – no case, no power supply.

It has 16 switch inputs (normally pulled high, but switch pulls input low) and any MIDI data can be generated on any MIDI channel from any input, including sysex and NRPN messages.

The unit can be programmed using our free PC or MAC editor to send the data you want from any input. The unit runs from a standard 9 volt power supply (or can be supplied to run from 6V by special request).

The unit is effectively the button section of one of our MIDI controllers while retaining the highly flexible operating system for which our controllers are renowned.

Ideal for schools, colleges, research establishments, animatronics, automation etc.

Discounts are available for quantity purchase.

For variable analogue inputs please see AN16
