ABSTRACT:
A miniature bank of switches is affixed directly to the musical instrument where it is easy to access during a live performance. The instrument-mounted unit produces an encoded signal representing the pattern and sequence of switch buttons depressed. This encoded signal is radiated, via UHF or infrared, to the remotely located musical instrument switching circuit. The switching circuit may be rack-mounted along with the effects devices which it controls. The switching unit receives the radiated signals and produces the corresponding MIDI protocol signals to control modern day MIDI effects devices, or alternatively produces signals which simulate ON/OFF wired foot switches to control effects of vintage amplifier equipment.
