Unlock Multi-Button Precision Control with the SuperSwitch (Sold Separately)

Most multi-button controllers only let you trigger one command at a time. The SuperSwitch changes everything. Using a proprietary signal protocol, the SuperSwitch gives you simultaneous, synchronized control over multiple functions—pause and trigger an accent hit, switch parts and start a fill, all without missing a beat. You can jump directly to any song part, trigger half-time or double-time tempo, use multiple accent hits and navigate entire setlists hands free with ease.
