MIDI MANTIS
This controller offers extended foot control for your favorite midi devices! Stomp on this instead of your favorite expensive floor unit modelers or control your rack units or hard to select midi enabled pedal effects! scroll up and down through your presets with the left and right footswitches, or hit the center mode toggle to scroll up and down through your device's saved scenes/snapshots/etc. It's even optimized to change your quad cortex's screen to gig mode and preset view when you change modes! (quad cortex not included). pressing the side button puts the mantis in TOGGLE mode, which gives you a dedicated selection option for your 1st & 2nd preset or scene/snapshot respectively, for simple setups where you just want to jump back and forth between rhythm and lead or a specific effect chain in your modeler or on your strymon pedal for example and not have to worry about getting lost in the weeds of complicated devices! And all this in a heavy duty enclosure with no annoying programming or computers required! Just plug it in and let the mantis take control!
HANDS FREE CONTROL
