Keith McMillen KMI 12 Step and MIDI Expander

 

This is the original KMI 12 Step Controller. It can be used as a set of bass pedals, to trigger chords, samples or even drum sounds.

I’ve used it with a variety of synth modules for adding strings and organ for live gigs. 

I’m now playing more keyboards live so I’ve gone back to my Hammond bass pedals.

There is software online to hook it up to a computer or iPad but I’ve always used it with hardware and it has done the job really well. 

I’ve colour coded the ins and outs with tape but can remove if required I’ve also taped the note names on the unit as I found it easier to see live. I used masking tape so it’s easy to remove without much residue to clean. 

KMI has now been rebranded as Muse Kinetics since Keith McMillen sadly died last year. Support is still available for all the KMI branded versions of their products. 

It’s really small and neat compared to a traditional bass pedal controller and weighs next to nothing. The unit itself is slim and made from woven carbon fibre. I have the original (tatty) packaging for both the pedals and the expander. 
I’ve included a link so you can see what it does.
The Mark 2 version retails at around £435 street. The included MIDI expander was bought separately for £65 as I wanted to integrate it with my outboard hardware rather than use it with my computer.

Postage at buyer’s cost UK only. No trades.
