The wireless footswitch can control hardware effects and amplifiers with MIDI input, and it can also be used as traditional relay footswitch to control amps and effects without MIDI interface. In addition, the Airstep can control DAW software and effect apps on your mobile phone, tablet or computer through Bluetooth, and even turn your traditional MIDI controller into a wireless controller. Airstep can also be used as 'a computer keyboard placed on the ground', it can control the page turning of tabs or music scores on the computer, tablet or mobile phone.

August 11, 2022: If you are looking for a Bluetooth pedal that can control the Katana Air amp, here is some clarification: When switching from the Airstep BW's Crunch sound (in mode 2) to clean on the Katana Air, the Xsonic Airstep BW takes up to 1 second to switch, which I personally find too long! Although the Airstep update app runs stably on Android, the update rarely succeeds! I can only recommend the Airstep BW if you are willing to accept that the switching time will now be 1 second when switching to the clean channel on the Katana Air. The problem lies with the Xsonic Airstep BW Bluetooth controller pedal, not the amp. * I hope that the Xsonic manufacturer can fix this issue in the next update. Besides this latency issue, the Airstep BW is very good! Something to know: The Boss Katana Librarian app does not support the Katana Air. This would be interesting if you wanted to create your own modes with the Airstep BW. And of course, it would be great if Roland-Boss added the Katana Air to the list, but that's not the case at the moment!
