The Jad Freer Audio MIDI-Lungo is a floor MIDI controller: a pedalboard-sized unit that sends MIDI Program Change and Control Change messages to your effects, amp or modeler so you can change presets and control parameters with your feet. Jad Freer Audio describes it as a latest generation MIDI controller, compatible with all MIDI devices on the market, including the Kemper Profiling Amplifier and Ableton Live1.
Presets, channels and ports
The MIDI-Lungo holds 1024 presets divided into 8 banks of 128 presets each, shown on a large 16-character, 2-line, backlit LCD display1. It can manage 4 MIDI channels simultaneously, both via Program Change and Control Change, and both message types are mappable, so a single preset can address several devices at once1.
For foot control beyond preset switching, the unit provides 4 expression pedal ports and 1 tap-tempo pedal port1. That means up to four expression pedals can be connected to sweep parameters on connected gear, alongside a tap-tempo switch for time-based effects such as delay.
