Boss EV-1-WL MIDI Expression-Pedal (Wireless) Product Details

Description

Take Control of Your MIDI Music World

Take command of your MIDI music gear with the BOSS EV-1-WL, the world’s first wireless MIDI expression pedal. The EV-1-WL provides wireless foot control for BOSS products such as the EURUS GS-1 and Waza-Air, music apps on mobile devices, and anything that can receive CC messages via Bluetooth® MIDI. In addition, USB and MIDI TRS connectivity are on hand for wired control of computer music software and standard MIDI devices. Whether you go wireless or wired—or both at once—the EV-1-WL delivers a ton of MIDI power in a compact footprint.

Expand Your Performance Range with Bluetooth

The EV-1-WL is the ideal creative partner for the growing range of music performance hardware with Bluetooth wireless support. Use it to control pitch bend, filter, and other synth functions in the BOSS EURUS GS-1 guitar. Or add external footswitches to create a wireless mini pedalboard for patch selection, wah/volume control, and more in the Waza-Air personal guitar amp system. The EV-1-WL can also communicate wirelessly with a standard 5-pin MIDI device that has the Roland WM-1 Wireless MIDI Adaptor installed.

Wireless MIDI control from computers and mobile devices

Pair the EV-1-WL via Bluetooth with Mac computers, smartphones, and tablets to interact with music apps that support remote control via MIDI CC messages-from guitar amp simulations and effects to virtual instruments and DAWs. As a Windows user, all you need is a Roland WM-1D dongle to communicate wirelessly with the EV-1-WL.

Control MIDI pedals, multi-effects units and more

With its space-saving TRS MIDI output, the EV-1-WL is a powerful accessory for any type of MIDI music hardware - from effects pedals and multi-effects processors to keyboards, drum machines and more. A TRS-to-TRS cable with mini-jack plugs lets you use BOSS pedals with TRS MIDI connectors, including the 200-series effects pedals or the RC-5 and RC-500 Loop Stations. You can also use the BOSS BMIDI-5-35 cable to connect the EV-1-WL to any device with a standard 5-pin MIDI input.

Customization

Using the free EV-1-WL Editor app for iOS and Android devices, you can make custom MIDI CC assignments for the pedal, Toe Switch, and up to two external footswitches. The Bluetooth, USB and TRS MIDI outputs can be used and configured simultaneously. In addition, it is possible to set the operation of the buttons between Momentary and Latch, adjust the pedal's response curve, and more.
