Icon G-Board Black

A Controller Designed to Integrate into a Chainable "I" Ecosystem

The G-Board Black fits into a modern MIDI controller logic focused on USB and modularity. While many foot controllers limit themselves to a single connection to the computer, this model emphasizes a "chainable" approach: its 2 USB ports allow daisy-chaining of other compatible controllers from the "I" series, enabling you to expand your control surface without multiplying direct connections to the PC.
This philosophy addresses a very concrete need in current rigs: centralizing foot control (patch changes, scene triggering, track arming, navigation, start/stop) while maintaining clean and quick-to-install cabling. The G-Board Black positions itself as a solid, compact, and reliable base, intended to become the "hub" of control for your setup.

Who the G-Board Black Is For: Stage, Studio, and Home Studio

The G-Board Black is aimed at musicians and technicians who want to trigger actions with their feet with immediate response: guitarists controlling a software amp simulator, keyboardists launching program changes, singers managing effects, or producers wanting to keep their hands on an instrument while handling transport and scenes in a DAW.
In the studio, it becomes an excellent ally to speed up takes: punch in/out, activating software talkback, triggering markers, toggling effects, or navigating between different sections. Live, its slim format and "setlist"-oriented design allow structuring a concert around clear and repeatable commands without relying on mouse clicks.

Key Features: Durability, USB, and Foot Control

8 Metal Switches: Precision and Durability

The heart of the G-Board Black lies in its 8 metal switches designed to withstand the demands of the stage: repeated presses, shoes, vibrations, and transport. This construction inspires confidence when every action must be reliable, whether launching a passage, cutting a delay, or instantly changing presets. The choice of metal switches also enhances the control feel: firm press, easy tactile feedback, and intensive use without compromise.

USB Bus Power: Simplicity and Mobility

The G-Board Black is powered directly via the USB bus. Practically, this means a faster and lighter setup: no power adapter to manage, fewer failure points, and simplified connection to the computer. This approach is particularly appreciated in mobile configurations (rehearsals, sessions, gigs), where reducing setup time while maintaining operational stability is key.

Dual USB Connectivity: PC + "I" Series Chain

The connectivity is designed for clear integration: a USB mini B type connection to the PC to connect the foot controller to the computer, and a standard USB connection to "I" series controllers to extend the system in a chain. This architecture facilitates creating a custom rig: you start with a base of foot controls, then add other compatible control elements as needed (more commands, complementary functions, or different organization).
Result: a compact MIDI foot controller that fits equally well into a minimalist setup (one cable to the PC) or an expandable configuration, all while maintaining a coherent cabling logic.
