Creating live recordings with a human feel is essential to modern music making. In electronic music, there are numerous methods to make your notes play with real-world expression and off-grid dynamics. The E&F2M – Dual MIDI USB adapter is a device which brings together two essential control elements in one USB device, enabling you to connect expression/sustain pedals and a footswitch simultaneously – and configure exactly what they’re in control of.
The combination of a keyboard and expression pedal allows for an added dimension during performances. The E&F2M offers this with an additional footswitch input, for control over your sound elements, including tone, timbre, pitch and sustain – programmed using standalone software which comes with the device. Set up the E&F2M to send MIDI Control Changes, Program Changes, Pitch Bend Changes, Polyphonic Aftertouch, Note On or MIDI Clock Messages. Use a footswitch to select a different synth sound, mute drums or to engage an effects send – it’s a highly configurable and versatile device!
It has 2 TRS jack sockets to connect a standard expression pedal and 1 or 2 button footswitches. There’s also a micro-usb port for connection to your computer, whether it’s Windows, Linux or Mac based. The E&F2M is a combination of two of the units offered by beat bars who offer free shipping to anyone in the UK.
