It's a happy day for Moog Music Multi-Pedals users, since the analog, MIDI and USB control hub has received a significant software upgrade. The version 2.0 OS update adds new features, such as MIDI-to-CV conversion, loopable envelope generators with four envelope shapes (Linear, Logarithmic, Exponential, and Complex), CV Lag, CV Scaling, and the capability of triggering Gates and MIDI events. 

These features add to the existing ones, including MIDI Clock Sync, Tap Tempo, programmable heel and toe voltages, four LFOs, four Analog Control Voltage outputs, MIDI, and USB connectivity. Many of the original features, such as Quad Mode and Noise Generation, have also been improved.

According to the manufactuer, the Multi-Pedal can do just about anything on four independent channels simultaneously. Take it from Chris Kilmore of Incubus, who exclaims, "I just started messing around with the Multi-Pedal not too long ago, and I love it!" He also adds, "It takes what I can only do with at least four hands and puts the control at my feet via a gas pedal. I use the four outs of the Multi-Pedal sort of like a patchbay. I have a four channel snake that runs from the Multi-Pedal to my Voyager or any one of my Moogerfoogers." Incubus fans can attest to the fact that when it comes to these pedals, the band is there, whatever tomorrow brings.

From November 15, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Multi-Pedal’s price will drop to $399 at participating US dealers and through the Moog Music Web site. The OS 2.0 update, however, is available as a free download for current Multi-Pedal users. To learn more, visit Moog Music's official site.
