I bought this for a band project that never panned out, what follows is the manufacturer’s item description.
ANATEK Pocket Pedal is an indispensable controller for the performing musician. With the addition of any volume pedal and footswitch, keyboard 8 guitar-synth players can send MIDI volume, modulation, and sustain controls on all 16 MIDI channels at the same time. For owners of muiti-effects processors, Pocket Pedal" provides a convenient and cost effective way of providing dynamic control over effects parameters. Pocket Pedal" is a handy controller for automated mixdowns - converting any resistive input into MIDI Controller messages for VCAs. Connect a photocell to Pocket Pedal" and control MIDI parameters with a light source. What's more, MIDI retro-fitters can install Pocket Pedal into a guitar, home piano or organ to send pitch-bend modulation or MIDI Volume messages.
