Anyone using MIDI controllers?

[Ejtibbetts]

I'm building a fairly simple board as far as the footprint goes, but all of it will be controlled by a MIDI footswitch. As far as the actually board, I'm going to build it myself to fit exactly how I want. I build furniture on the side too.

So, far I have:

• Peterson tuner (only non-midi pedal)
• Two Notes Revolt Bass
• Source Audio Atlas Compressor
• Source Audio C4
• HX Stomp (may switch out for an HX One)
• Dunlop Mini X (this will be run through the midi controller to get the most out of it)

Want to add:

• Source Audio Collider
• Ditto+ or Ditto X2 looper

Right now, I'm looking at Morningstar MC6 Pro or Pirate Bridge6, but for space I'd love for the Pirate Bridge4 to be enough without overcomplicating what I want to do.

If anyone has experience and can help lead me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!

I programmed an almost full midi control over the source audio C4 with my iPad (LoopyPro)

same for the DarkGlass infinity …

it’s nice for an older guy like me to be able to tweak without having to bend down LOL

I have the new Mortrix midi controller. Super powerful, yet simple to program and setup.
So far using Future Impact, SA c4, Zoom ms cdr70 and on the way, the Meris Enzo.

Never used either, but the differences I see are that the Pirate is cheaper and can use the multi-ports for a gate pulse out but lacks the variety and number of outs of the MC6 Pro. And the screen has color. If you need to get a Neuro hub as well (and I assume you do), then you might not need those outputs.

I lost out on the last Mortrix run (apparently I need to warn my bank when spending that amount of money in Euros or Pounds or whatever). That's beyond overkill for what you are describing, but it seems fairly future-proof.

My current solution is to have a Disaster Area MIDI Baby 1 and 3 to send CC's to a pair of ZOIA's that are my controllers and send all the PC's and CC's downstream. Super easy to program and also does the CV thing. Also super fun.

Really liking ReVolt out to an HX One. Strongly consider a transformer, like an LBA 2020S, between the two. It smooths both pedals.

An OE DCX after that could make you reconsider the need for a compressor in some cases. It lifts the performance closer to the ears in the mix like compression can.

A C4 or other synth pedal in the ReVolt's loop is a nice idea. Couldn't get along with my old Atlas however. Secondary knob features with the tiny secondary button on the back of the pedal felt too fiddly.
