Disaster Area Designs qConnect Quarter-Inch MIDI Interface and Controller

The first controller designed specifically to interface with quarter-inch MIDI devices.

The qCONNECT is a compact controller with eight 1/4″ outputs, designed to control an entire pedalboard full of pedals by Chase Bliss Audio, Alexander, Empress, Meris, and Bondi.  qCONNECT also supports standard 5-pin MIDI pedals, and can control one USB MIDI device (Red Panda, Zoom, etc.) using our gHOST Adaptor Cable.

Simply connect your MIDI devices to the qCONNECT ports, then use our comprehensive setup menu to configure the port assignments and device routing.  All of the qCONNECT ports may send MIDI on the ring (Chase Bliss) or on the tip (most other brands) without using jumpers or DIP switches.

Setting up your devices is easy – we offer simple step-by-step guides for all of the currently supported devices.

You can even link multiple qCONNECTs together to control very large pedal setups, or use a qCONNECT to expand the capabilities of your current controller.

• Six 1/4″ MIDI outputs with software-assignable polarity – no jumpers or DIP switches required
