Product Description
Pulze Control
Wireless MIDI Controller
Take Control of Your Pulze Amp!
A MIDI Controller Tailored for Pulze Speakers
To unlock the full potential of Pulze speakers and make control as easy as operating an effects pedal, the Pulze Control wireless smart MIDI controller was created!
Unlike previous MIDI controllers from Hotone, Pulze Control supports both host and client modes, allowing direct wireless connections to devices such as Pulze and Ampero II Stage, making it incredibly convenient for musicians.
A Compact yet Powerful MIDI Command Center
Pulze Control supports four types of MIDI messages: PC (Program Change), CC (Control Change), Note On, and Note Off. MIDI messages can be transmitted via a 1/4” (6.35mm) TRS jack, USB port, or wirelessly. Each footswitch can be assigned up to 16 different MIDI messages (or up to 32 when using A/B groups), with various triggering options available to suit different usage scenarios.
Choose Your Mode via the Mobile App!
Pulze Control is compatible with a dedicated mobile app for Android & iOS, offering a variety of user-friendly modes:
- “Simple Modes”: Pre-configured settings for Pulze, Ampero, and other supported devices—just select the mode you need and start using it instantly!
- “Pro Mode”: Customize every detail, including footswitch functions, trigger methods, MIDI messages, CTRL/MIDI jack settings, and more (see the user manual for full customization details).
Built-in Battery with Long-lasting Performance
Pulze Control features a built-in lithium battery, rechargeable via USB, providing up to 12 hours of continuous use on a full charge.

Versatile CTRL/MIDI Jack
The CTRL/MIDI jack can connect to an expression pedal, a momentary footswitch, or function as a TRS MIDI output. Simply connect your external device and adjust the settings to expand your control options, enabling connections with an expression pedal or two additional MIDI footswitches.
Firmware That Keeps Getting Better
Pulze Control supports firmware updates, allowing you to upgrade wirelessly via the mobile app whenever a new version is released. Enjoy continuous improvements and new features with each update!
