The Yamaha MFC1 is a versatile MIDI foot control device that leaves your hands free to play an instrument or carry out other operations while offering broad control of MIDI program change and control change functions.
Received MIDI data from the MIDI IN terminal is merged with the data internally generated by the MFC1 and delivered via the MIDI OUT terminal, which will then be connected to an effect unit such as the Yamaha SPX90 digital multi-effect processor, a synthesizer, tone generator, sequencer, etc.
The MFC1 "chain" function is also a great plus, letting you transmit a sequence of MIDI commands just by pressing a footswitch.
