The Soleman MIDI controller has two hardware MIDI outputs that can communicate with any hardware that works according to the MIDI standard. The Soleman also has a USB-MIDI interface to control MIDI-compatible software and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), virtual instruments, synths or VST plug-ins. The four footswitches can be used to conveniently scroll through scenes, send individual MIDI commands, tap through set lists or trigger fully customizable MIDI macros. A connection for two optional external footswitches provides even more convenience for MIDI navigation.
The expression input allows the user to use an optional passive expression pedal to generate continuous controller (CC) messages in an extremely flexible way. In this way, the Soleman gives the user expressive control over MIDI-compatible devices and software. The high-contrast LC display is easy to read both on dark floors and in direct sunlight. It shows all important information about scenes, set lists, MIDI configuration, expression outputs and other modes.
