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 Bluetooth® 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.
