Halfway through a set nobody remembers what switch four does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MIDI Maestro puts a screen above each switch showing its current function. Change the assignment and the label changes with it. A mobile app handles reassignment on the fly rather than requiring a laptop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was built specifically for the BeatBuddy, and the BeatBuddy mode works immediately with no setup. That means changing songs without bending down mid-show, choosing song parts out of order rather than moving through them linearly, and triggering content hands-free. It also speaks standard MIDI, so it controls other gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingular Sound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMIDI Maestro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMIDI foot controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDisplays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in screen per switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMobile app, on the fly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePreset mode\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeatBuddy mode, works out of the box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeatBuddy plus standard MIDI devices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.25 x 6.25 x 3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingular Sound limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Does a Foot Controller Need Screens?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause switch assignments change depending on what you are controlling, and unlabelled buttons become guesswork mid-performance.

The original BeatBuddy was funded on Kickstarter in 2014 and the company has stayed narrow since, building the BeatBuddy line, the Aeros looper, the MIDI Maestro and the SuperSwitch as one connected system rather than a scattered catalogue. The products sync to each other over MIDI and share a content library, which is why solo performers and worship musicians tend to end up with more than one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singular Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798561648691,"sku":"MIDI-MAESTRO-USA","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1768\/9095\/files\/00347586_1z.jpg?v=1788117683","url":"https:\/\/www.victorymusical.com\/products\/singular-sound-midi-maestro-foot-controller","provider":"Victory Musical Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
