Source Audio | SOLEMAN | MIDI Foot Controller Source Audio

The Source Audio Soleman gives you a versatile, highly configurable hardware and software MIDI controller in a durable and compact package. Featuring two hardware MIDI outputs, the Soleman can interface with any hardware that adheres to the MIDI standard. It also has a USB-MIDI interface for direct control of your MIDI compatible software, DAWs, virtual instruments, synths, or VST plugins.

The four footswitches scroll through scenes, launch individual MIDI messages, step through set lists, or trigger highly customizable MIDI macros. There’s also an external switch port that allows you to connect two additional footswitches to make navigation more convenient. The expression input also allows you to use a passive expression pedal to generate MIDI continuous controller messages in a flexible manner. Giving you direct and expressive control over MIDI-compatible devices and software.

Finally, the Soleman’s high-contrast LCD is visible whether you’re on a dark stage or in direct sunlight. It also shows you relevant information regarding scenes, set lists, MIDI configuration, expression outputs, and other modes.

• The Soleman is a versatile, highly configurable MIDI controller contained in a compact and durable housing. Use it to control any MIDI compatible hardware and software, or as the command center to your Source Audio Neuro Effects System.
• Four Footswitches—Use the footswitches to scroll through presets (ie “scenes”), launch individual MIDI messages, step through set lists, or trigger highly customizable MIDI macros. Configure footswitch functionality with any of the Soleman’s three useful control modes.
• Scene Mode—Scroll through all of the Soleman’s 128 Scenes in order with the onboard foot switches.
• List Mode—Arrange Scenes in any order and step through them in sequence. The Soleman stores up to 64 Lists, each containing up to 90 scenes.
• Panel Mode—Store up to 64 “Panels.” Within each panel, assign specific functions to each of the four footswitches like Program Change, Continuous Controller, and Note On/Off messages. Or assign multiple commands to a single footswitch with macro messages.
• Preset (“Scene”) Naming—Create custom names for individual scenes. Scene names are easily read on stage via the pedal’s high-contrast LCD display.
• Configuration Software—The Soleman is highly customizable, using the USB Editor Software that runs on Windows / Mac and connects to the Soleman via USB.
• Two MIDI Outputs—Connect to up to two external hardware MIDI devices directly to the SoleMan using the standard 5-pin DIN connectors.
• USB-MIDI Interface—Class-compliant USB drivers make the Soleman plug-and-play ready for Mac and Windows computers.

It is compatible with built-in drivers on all supported operating systems, so no additional driver installation is required.
• Expression Pedal—The expression input accepts a passive expression pedal and converts it to Continuous Controller (CC) MIDI messages on the MIDI outputs.
• Tap Tempo—Use the Tap Tempo switch to create on-the-fly MIDI clock messages, which can be simultaneously distributed to all connected pedals, rack systems and software.
• External Switch Port—Allows for an additional two-footswitch controller to make navigation more convenient.
