Knot: The pocket-sized device for connecting Stratus® to any standard MIDI controller.
chaosaudio.com/collections/ac...
The "Chaos Audio edition" Knot is the perfect solution for musicians looking to bridge the gap between Stratus® (or other USB MIDI devices) and any standard MIDI controller. With Knot, you can directly control your Stratus® using your favorite MIDI footswitch controller.
MIDI - Host, Merge, Feedback
Knot is equipped with two 3.5mm TRS jacks for sending and receiving MIDI data (both A and B TRS MIDI standards are supported). The jacks combined with the HOST port on the front ensure instant compatibility with Stratus®.
Compact and Durable
Measuring just 60mm x 60mm x 10mm and weighing approximately 120 grams, Knot is a palm-sized device that is designed with portability in mind.
Power to the User
Power Knot with a USB-C cable or your trusty guitar pedal power supply. With 6-12V universal polarity detection and power delivery to Stratus® over USB, you can power your entire setup with almost any option you like.
