4 footswitchesEach footswitch can be pressed and rotated for direct control.

MIDI + PEDALChoose direct MIDI control or bank-based pedal access.

4 connectionsUSB-C, BT, USB-A Host, and 3.5 mm TRS MIDI OUT.

Expression readyAdd continuous control with calibration and MIDI mapping.

More than a footswitch.

Press to send a command. Turn to adjust a parameter. NEXFOOT brings switching and continuous control together in four footswitches.

Press. Turn. Play.Four footswitches, a color display, and dedicated EDIT/MODE and POWER buttons.

Connect your setup.USB-C, USB-A HOST, MIDI OUT, and EXP keep control connections within reach.

At home. On stage.Recall sounds, switch functions, and adjust parameters on compatible MIDI equipment.

Two modes, two workflows.

Choose MIDI for direct message control, or PEDAL to organize your assignments into banks. Both modes control your gear through MIDI.

MIDI control view — see the assignments and current values for A–D.

MIDI mode.

Give each footswitch two independent jobs: press to trigger an action, and rotate to adjust a parameter. Choose the message type, channel, and values to match the MIDI chart of the device you want to control.

PRESS + ROTATEUse a press for effect switching or preset recall, and a separate rotation assignment for a parameter such as mix or level.

YOUR RESPONSEChoose Toggle, Momentary, Pulse, or a fixed value for the press action. Set the on/off values to suit the receiving device.

VALUE CONTROLSet a minimum and maximum for rotation. Use absolute values, or relative CC when your receiving device expects increment/decrement messages.

PLAY VIEWSee the outgoing MIDI message together with your custom action name, so you can identify the command while performing.

IN MIDI MODE

Choose how a press behaves.

Toggle

Each completed press alternates between your configured on and off values. Use it for effect bypass or another two-state function supported by the receiving device.

ON → OFF → ON

Momentary

Send the on value when you press down and the off value when you release. Useful for temporary effects or hold functions that should last only as long as the press.

HOLD → ON / RELEASE → OFF

Pulse

A completed press sends the on value followed immediately by the off value. Choose this when a mapped function expects a brief trigger rather than a held state.

ON → OFF

Fixed value

Send the same configured value with every press. Recall a specific program or set a MIDI parameter to a known value without alternating states.

PRESS → VALUE

EXAMPLE MAPPING

One footswitch. Two controls.

Assign footswitch A’s press to a delay bypass CC with Toggle behavior, then map its rotation to delay mix. Step to switch the delay; turn to set the amount. Use the CC numbers and on/off values specified by your delay device.

PEDAL Bank view — see the selected bank and its A–D assignments.

PEDAL mode.

Group assignments into banks for songs, sounds, or different parts of a performance. Each bank gives A, B, C, and D their own press and rotation mappings. A normal footswitch tap sends its configured command when released.

Previous bank

A+B

Press A + B together, then release, to move to the previous bank.

Next bank

C+D

Press C + D together, then release, to move to the next bank.

USE A–DAfter selecting a bank, tap an individual footswitch to send its assigned command. Bank navigation selects your NEXFOOT mappings; it is not itself a preset command for the receiving gear.

TURN + PERFORMAdjust the current bank’s mapped parameters by rotation. A + B and C + D also change banks while you remain in PLAY view.

BUILD YOUR SET

Your sounds, one bank at a time.

01
Organize
For example, assign clean, crunch, lead, and ambient program changes to A–D on a compatible processor.
02
Move
Use the two-foot combination to reach another bank for the next song or section.
03
Perform
Tap the desired footswitch to recall the sound, then turn it to adjust its separately mapped parameter.

MIDI MAPPING

Your messages. Your control.

Choose a message for the job, then match it to the gear you use.

Control Change

Switch a function or change a parameter. Match the CC number to the target function, then set the value or range that your device expects.

Program Change

Recall a preset on connected MIDI equipment. Set the program value and receiving channel. Check whether your device labels its first program as 0 or 1.

NOTE

Note On / Note Off

Send note messages to a synth, sampler, or a function mapped to notes. Choose the note number and value; match the press behavior to the receiving instrument.

BEND / PRESSURE

Pitch & expression messages

Use Pitch Bend or Channel Pressure with instruments that respond to them. The receiving instrument determines how the message changes its sound.

SYSEX / CUSTOM

Device-specific commands

Use SysEx templates or custom MIDI messages for commands beyond standard CC and PC. Configure the required message format according to the receiving device’s documentation.

CHANNEL / RANGE

Keep the destination clear

Set the receiving MIDI channel and the relevant number and values for each assignment. Use Off for an action that should not send a message.

NEXFOOT sends control messages. The receiving device’s MIDI implementation determines which functions are available.

Four ways to connect.

Use wired or wireless MIDI, and combine available outputs in one setup. Match the receiving channels and assignments on your connected gear.

USB-C

Connect NEXFOOT to a computer or a compatible phone/tablet host. Enable its musical MIDI port in your application, then match the receiving channel. Mobile setups may require a suitable USB adapter.

BT MIDI

Pair from the BT MIDI connection controls in a compatible music application or operating system. Enable the connection before using the mapped controls; BT MIDI carries control data, not streamed audio.

USB-A HOST

Connect a compatible USB MIDI device directly to NEXFOOT’s HOST port. NEXFOOT takes the host role for this connection, so a computer is not required in that control path.

3.5 mm TRS MIDI OUT

Send MIDI to a pedal, processor, or synth’s MIDI input. Use compatible TRS MIDI wiring or an appropriate adapter for your equipment. This connection is an output, not an audio or expression-pedal socket.

Using more than one connection?

Performance messages go to available outputs together. Plan your receivers’ MIDI channels and mappings so each device responds as intended.

SETUP + EDITING

Make it yours.

Start with one useful mapping, check the response, then build the rest of your performance setup.

01
Connect
Choose a MIDI connection, enable the receiving device or application, and check its MIDI channel.
02
Choose a mode
From the normal control view, double-press EDIT/MODE to switch between MIDI and PEDAL. From PLAY, short-press once to return to the control view first.
03
Assign the action
Hold EDIT/MODE to enter Edit. Choose the target control and set its MIDI message, channel, number, and values. Map press and rotation separately where needed.
04
Save, then play
While editing, double-press EDIT/MODE to save. Hold it to leave Edit, then test a press or turn against your connected device. Save again after further changes.

EDIT YOUR WAY

On the unit. On a larger screen.

Set mappings on NEXFOOT itself, or use the computer and phone editors for a broader view of your configuration. Give actions recognizable names so PLAY view tells you what you are sending.

Save before leaving Edit. Exiting without an explicit save discards unsaved changes; changing modes is not a save action.

EDIT/MODE at a glance

Short press

Outside Edit: switch between the control and PLAY views.

Double press

In the normal control view: switch MIDI / PEDAL modes.

Press and hold

Enter Edit, or leave Edit and return to the control view.

Double press in Edit

Save your changes before leaving Edit.

GETTING CONNECTED

Good to know.

A few essentials for building your MIDI setup.

Does NEXFOOT process my audio?

NEXFOOT is a MIDI controller. It sends commands to other equipment; your audio stays in your instrument, effects, processor, or audio interface. Connect the audio path separately from MIDI control.

Can I connect an expression pedal?

Yes. Connect a compatible expression pedal to EXP, choose expression operation rather than switch operation, calibrate its travel, and assign the MIDI parameter and range you want to control. For example, map it to volume or an effect amount supported by your receiving device.

Why does the receiving device not respond?

Check the connection and the receiver’s MIDI input first. Then confirm the MIDI channel, message type, CC or program number, and value. USB-A HOST connects to a MIDI device; USB-C connects to a computer or compatible host. For TRS MIDI, check the required cable wiring or adapter.

Does PLAY change my mappings?

PLAY is a focused display view, not a third control mode. It shows the outgoing command and its action name while the selected MIDI or PEDAL workflow remains active. In PEDAL mode, bank combinations still work in PLAY.
