Highlights
MIDI CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING!
The Botanist can receive MIDI over 3.5mm TRS. Use MIDI to control all its features and parameters
CREATE PRESETS!
The Botanist is designed to operate as a traditional 3 knob pedal if you dont want to create presets and use MIDI but it also has a total of 6 presets you can access via PC MIDI. If there are no saved presets the pedal will load the current position of the knobs but once a preset has been saved the pedal will auto load preset 1 on boot up.
HOLD
By holding the footswitch down the Botanist will max the "Depth" knob and when you release it the pedal returns to its previous state. This is great for accenting certain notes.
MIDI EXPRESSION
Although the pedal does not have a direct Expression jack input you have full control over all 3 knobs via MIDI CC messages. Use a expression pedal in conjunction with a midi controller, like the futurist, to give you expression control.
