Keith McMillen 12 Step MIDI Foot Controller

The Keith McMillen 12 Step is a MIDI Foot Controller with a keyboard layout, ideal for controlling bass and other instruments with your feet.

The Keith McMillen 12 Step features 13 foot pads laid out across one octave, for musicians to accompany themselves without needing their hands. Each pedal can play up to five notes and features velocity and pressure sensitivity with tilt controls for pitch bend. Like other Keith McMillen MIDI controllers, the 12 Step's keys offer polyphonic aftertouch for even greater control of sounds.

The Step 12 connects via USB for a quick, plug and play setup, but it can also be used with Keith McMillen Instruments' MIDI Expander to control soft synths.
