By default, the Notes assigned to Stomp Switches [1]-[6] make up an Em scale but you can reassign them to any notes you would like.

Of course, this smart pedal offers support for Nektar DAW integration, including Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Reaper, and Studio One.And because Pacer can send up to 16 MIDI messages when you change presets, you can completely reconfigure your guitar rig at the press of a button. I remember seeing one of the developers talking about this one over at KVR (justin3am/Justin at Nektar).

PACER is the only true hands-free solution for controlling a DAW and features a complete set of dedicated track and transport controls. My tuner seems to only be able to send “hold” mode, and I want a switch where I can use both tap, double-tap, and hold. So for those looking for something simple to just assign to two parameters with system real-time messages (start/stop and record for instance): this little guy can do that!

The Nektar unit has the top and bottom row aligned, so for people with big feet like me, it pretty much rules this unit out. Connect two footswitch pedals to the 6,3 mm jack sockets or four footswitches using y-splitter cables. For example, the widget and footswitch are set as a toggle, and so the Pacer will alternately send values 0 and 127.
