Please Note: The MIDI Box is a MIDI signal converter only, you cannot use it to control MIDI functions.

For players with only one MIDI pedal in their rig, the MIDI Box One is a handy way to convert a 5-pin MIDI input into a 1/4" output. The MIDI Box One features external dip switches to expand its compatibility to suit a range of MIDI-enabled pedals.

The MIDI Box One allows you to hook up a controller via a 5-pin connection and convert it to a 1/4" output for connecting to a MIDI-enabled pedal. On the underside is a set of dip switch which can be used to alter the configuration to match how different pedals receive MIDI. The dip switch settings are as follows:

  • Tip Active: Suitable for Alexander Pedals, Meris, Empress Effects, and other devices using voltage mode on the jack tip.
  • Ring Active: Suitable for Chase Bliss Audio and other devices using voltage mode on the jack ring.
  • Tip and Ring Active: Separate outputs on the top and ring of the jack which allows for two MIDI outputs using a TRS insert cable.

Specifications

  • Power:  Requires 9-12v DC input, 50mA maximum.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.
