Or connect a MIDI cable to operate multi-effect processors, pedals, and other hardware. Expand your setup with external footswitches and an expression pedal. And use the dedicated editor/librarian to assign keyboard commands and MIDI messages to control nearly any software application or MIDI device.

Cable-Free Control for Your Creative World

The FS-1-WL flows smoothly into all your creative activities. Easily pair with devices over Bluetooth to operate a wide range of software apps and music gear.

Music Page Turner

Turn pages in digital music scores with the footswitches as you play. For example, you can move forward as you perform or page back to work on specific areas.

YouTube Learning

Take advantage of YouTube keyboard commands to learn faster with online lesson content. Keep your hands on your instrument and use your feet to control play/pause, rewind, playback speed, and more

DAW Control

Stay focused on capturing great performances with hands-free control of music recording software. Operate record, play, and other keyboard commands in your DAW. Or use the software's MIDI learn tools to configure setups on the fly.

BOSS and Roland Gear

Wirelessly change presets, control effects, and more on Bluetooth-equipped products like Pocket GT, Katana-Air, and Waza-Air, or the GX-100 via the Bluetoothr Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor. And control MIDI keyboards, hardware devices, and computers over Bluetooth using Roland's WM-1 and WM-1D.

Customizable Command

Using the FS-1-WL editor app on your computer or smartphone, you can change up the pre-configured setups to operate just about any software application or MIDI device. Assign keyboard commands to the footswitches, either single keystrokes or combinations with modifier keys like shift and control. Or call up MIDI mode and set up custom PC and CC messages for your devices. You can also create a library of configurations for different needs.

Built Like a BOSS

Backed by decades of BOSS design expertise, the FS-1-WL is comfortable to use and built to last. The footswitches are quiet and easy to press, with no click noises to interrupt your workspace or performance stage. Status LEDs provide high visibility and can be set to different colors with the editor app. Two AAA alkaline batteries offer up to 14 hours of operation on the move, and AC power is supported with an optional BOSS PSA adaptor.

Versatile Connections

Up to two external footswitches can be connected for expanded control with both MIDI messages and keyboard commands. And with an external expression pedal, you have continuous parameter control of any device that responds to MIDI CC messages. The FS-1-WL also features a TRS MIDI jack for wired operation of MIDI hardware devices.

Notes: Want instant access to three presets for Sunset or Riverside? Or to unlock the full potential of Volante? Connect MultiSwitch Plus with the included 1/4" TRS cable and add a new dimension to your rig.

MultiSwitch Plus can be configured in several different ways to extend floor control of compatible Strymon pedals. Depending on the selected mode and the pedals connected, you can recall presets, change banks, operate TimeLine's looper, remotely tap tempos, and more. Featuring three outputs, MultiSwitch Plus allows you to connect up to three compatible Strymon pedals using additional TRS cables (sold separately). Now you can engage presets on Sunset, Riverside, and Volante simultaneously. Or mix and match the footswitches to set up your own custom operation - such as controlling tap tempo on your Flint, Favorite on your El Capistan, and Boost on your Riverside.

Add a MultiSwitch Plus to your Sunset, Riverside, or Volante and gain instant access to presets 1, 2, and 3. Or connect all three pedals to MultiSwitch Plus using additional TRS cables (sold separately) to access three synchronized presets on all three pedals simultaneously. Connect MultiSwitch Plus to Volante for additional footswitchable control. Use MultiSwitch Plus for remote operation of the SPEED switch, remote transport control, or for additional foot control while in Sound on Sound mode.

Use MultiSwitch Plus to remotely toggle Volante's Speed switch. Instantly alter the speed of the media, changing the fidelity and creating layered multi-octave textures. Volante provides the unique ability to reverse, pause, and infinitely repeat the delayed sounds. MultiSwitch Plus opens the door to even more immediate and expressive control of these functions. MultiSwitch Plus provides remote access to three of Volante's Sound on Sound functions. When in Sound On Sound mode, MultiSwitch Plus allows control over infinite repeats, pause, and reverse functions.

Not only does MultiSwitch Plus give you full control over TimeLine's Looper in a simple, compact format, it also unlocks three additional looping features: Reverse, Half Speed, and Undo/Redo. Use MultiSwitch Plus to control your TimeLine Looper in two different ways. MultiSwitch Plus allows instant access to TimeLine's Record/Overdub, Play, and Stop functions without holding the TAP switch to enter Looper Mode. Easily access looping features while retaining footswitch control over your delay sounds. Hold TimeLine's TAP switch to enter looper mode, and MultiSwitch Plus now gives you instant access to Reverse, Half Speed, and Undo/Redo. Gain access to a versatile, 6-button looper that is excellent for live looping and experimentation.

MultiSwitch Plus provides an alternate way to explore presets and set tempos on your TimeLine, BigSky, and Mobius.

MultiSwitch Plus gives you a new means of exploring preset banks. Use the left switch to move down a bank, right switch to move up a bank, and middle switch to cycle through your presets within the current bank. A great way to explore all of your presets. Use MultiSwitch Plus to recall the perfect preset on your TimeLine, BigSky, or Mobius. Easily scroll through saved presets using the left and right switches, and engage/bypass the preset you have selected with the middle switch. Use MultiSwitch Plus to scroll through your saved presets and control your tap tempo all at once. Perfect for TimeLine and Mobius-use the left switch to scroll down through your saved presets, the right switch to scroll up, and the middle switch to tap in the perfect delay tempo or modulation speed.
