Whether you're a MIDI-meister or amongst the MIDI-mindless, the MIDI Moose is a super-simple alternative to access 128 patches. Tech 21's intuitive engineering eliminates the intimidation and frustration of trying to decipher encyclopedia-sized owner's manuals just so you can change a program. In addition to being phantom power operable or utilizing an optional power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC2), the MIDI Moose is also battery operable, providing a minimum of 200 hours usage. It has a sophisticated battery-saving feature, which turns off the numerical display after 5 seconds. If you forget where you were, you just hit the footswitch of the individual patch that has remained lit, and it will wake up the display without making any program changes. On stage and in the studio, the large, non-glare LED display can be read from any angle, in daylight or darkness.

Housed in a sleek aluminum chassis, there are Up and Down footswitches to select groupings of five preset programs. There are individual silent-switching, custom actuators to instantly engage each program change directly within the selected grouping.

Measures 17"l x 3.6"w x 1.5"h. MSRP: $195.00. Manufactured in the U.S.A.
