Product Description

Tech 21 SansAmp MIDI Mouse, MIDI Switch

The MIDI mouse from TECH-21 is quickly explained. A small Midi switcher in pocket format. On the front, there is an Up/Down button, an Activ/Search button and a large LED display that is easy to read even on the darkest stage. The target preset can be selected without cutting the active programme. Only pressing the Active/Search button activates the new programme. The Midi Mouse can be powered either by an external power supply unit, by phantom power via a Midi cable or by a 9V battery. If the Midi Mouse is battery-powered, the display goes into "sleep" mode after a longer period of non-use to avoid unnecessary battery drain. The slightest press of one of the three switches immediately puts the display back into operation.

, With up/down button, Easy handling, Battery operation possible

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, as long as the unit supports standard MIDI communication, it should work. Compatibility will depend on the specific MIDI implementation of the target device.
It doesn't immediately change presets; it selects the next preset in the sequence, and you press it again to actually activate that preset, preventing accidental changes mid-phrase.
The description doesn't mention brightness adjustment, so it's likely a fixed brightness optimized for stage visibility. This could be a minor issue in very bright environments.
