XSONIC / AIRSTEP

Advanced foot controller with Bluetooth connectivity. Can control many music-related hardware devices and software. Equipped with two expression pedal terminals, USB cable, MIDI cable, and TRS cable connection terminals. The foot switch terminal is also compatible with guitar amplifiers that do not have MIDI functionality.

■Main features A light version of AIRSTEP equipped with Bluetooth only. In addition to being able to use it alone, it can also be used as an expansion remote pedal in combo mode by pairing it with another AIRSTEP. Wireless connection with other devices is possible via Bluetooth. Data can handle not only MIDI commands, but also HID commands equivalent to a computer keyboard. When using Bluetooth MIDI and HID, it is possible to wirelessly control smartphones, tablets, and software on computers (such as plug-ins and DAWs). HID commands are the same as connecting a computer keyboard. You can use the foot switch to pause a guitar lesson video on YouTube while simultaneously turning the pages of a music score app, so your hands are completely free. AIRSTEP is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery and does not require an external power source. AIRSTEP is equipped with five foot switches, and by adding AIRSTEP Lite, you can wirelessly expand it to five more foot switches. A dedicated app is available that can be downloaded for free, so all functions can be easily set. It also has a wide variety of online presets built in, which can be loaded into the main unit with one click. *Five presets can be stored in the main unit. [Comprehensive MIDI Function] AIRSTEP has very powerful MIDI control functions. Through the Bluetooth MIDI interface, you can control anything related to MIDI, whether it's hardware or software. [HID commands equivalent to a computer keyboard] HID commands are messages sent from a computer keyboard. AIRSTEP can also be used as a "wireless keyboard at your feet." When watching YouTube lesson videos, looking at sheet music, copying songs, or recording with a DAW while playing the guitar, it is essential to operate with your hands, but with AIRSTEP your hands will be free. If you can control a camera switching app at your feet, streaming alone is no longer a dream. [About AIRSTEP Lite] AIRSTEP Lite is a light version that omits all physical control terminals and allows you to use only Bluetooth. You can connect to a smartphone, tablet, or computer via Bluetooth to control the software, but you cannot control anything that requires a physical connection to the hardware. AIRSTEP Lite can be used alone, and can also be used as a wireless expansion footswitch for AIRSTEP. By pairing AIRSTEP with AIRSTEP Lite, you can wirelessly control devices that are physically connected to AIRSTEP with AIRSTEP Lite. For example, you can even wirelessly switch amplifier channels. [AIRSTEP dedicated app] A free dedicated app is available for use with iOS/Android devices. All AIRSTEP parameters can be edited with the dedicated app via Bluetooth. This app allows you to view various statuses such as the function of each footswitch, the contents of each preset, and the battery status, as well as edit all parameters and save them as presets. This app already includes a huge number of online presets that control most hardware devices and software. You can send and save five frequently used presets from the app to the AIRSTEP unit. ■Main specifications of AIRSTEP ・MIDI Out: Bluetooth MIDI * All MIDI messages can be output ・MIDI In: Bluetooth MIDI * Input MIDI messages can be transferred to all MIDI Outs ・HID Out: Bluetooth HID * All HID messages on the computer keyboard can be output ・LED Indicators: 1 system LED, 5 foot switch LEDs (blue/green) ・Foot switches: 5 (press/release/press and hold) ・Message types sent: MIDI, HID * Up to 8 types of messages can be sent with one trigger ・Main unit preset memory: 5 ・Bluetooth communication distance: 30m (line of sight) ・Bluetooth latency AIRSTEP and AIRSTEP Lite: 10ms AIRSTEP and smart device: 20ms ・Power supply: Built-in rechargeable battery (charged with 5V to 9V DC) ・Continuous use: 300 hours ・External dimensions: 300×70×45 mm (W×D×H) ・Main unit weight: 650g ・Operating environment: iOS 10 or later devices macOS Macintosh computers 10.6 or later Android 4.0 or later devices only Windows computers 10 or later *Please check the manufacturer's website for the latest information.
