Rocktron MIDI Xchange SMART CONTROLLERS"C/W Original Box Now Rocktron makes MIDI control easier and more affordable with the MIDI Xchange, a low-cost portable MIDI footswitch with "SMART CONTROLLERS". The MIDI Xchange is a simple to use, yet multi-functional MIDI switcher that not only controls Rocktron products, but other MIDI switchable products as well. Two built-in expression ports allow you to plug in up to two Rocktron HEX expression/volume controllers for continuous controlling of all sorts of parameters.
