This is great Peter, many thanks!!! I got the MC6, it's very versatile (not just with
the Future Impact, I am using mostly to pilot the H9 now). My only minor complaint
is the absence of a USB-MIDI host (available on the DMC however), but nothing is
perfect...

Here's some unrelated yet useful information for wind players. A small French
company has released a revolutionary microphone, that sounds as great as
professional dynamic microphones, while being as compact as piezo microphones,
which allow complete insertion inside the tube of the instrument.

This means no spill, no feedback, no need to drill the instrument, while having a
rich natural tone. I have been using it on my saxophone for about a month with the
Future Impact and other crazy effects, and I can now hope to play in a live situation
with a single wet/dry channel.

Here are some demos from some top notch players:
VIGA MUSIC TOOLS
Right now their product line is limited to saxophone, but new models for trumpet
and flute are on the way.

That's pretty cool!

@maisbass I’ve added some extra stuff to it. I’m still trying to think if there’s a way to toggle between altered dominants and 7b9 chords from the diminished scale.

Here's a very rough clip of what it can do. It'll take a bit of practice to make the changes smoother (and I was playing barefoot in the cold). I've got a few ideas of things I could add to it.

Ok....this is AMAZING! gotta do that update.

I think theres something fishy w my chrome that my work locked out or something. I have issues w Red Panda editors over chrome too...and have enabled MIDI and the whole deal. I dont have issues w the Roland Um One working w Meris editors nor w ES-8 editor though, so fingers crossed. This weekend I am going to try a bunch more. Maybe I have my MIDI ins going to ins instead of outs or something? Seems like a bunch of people had that scenario. Either way I am gonna get this done even if it means going to the library and using their computer (though I am sure Ill get some looks when I plug all this gear into the computer...hope they dont call the cops - ha, could you imagine?).

Also someone asked about the ES-5 and the answer is DEFINITELY. w the ES units you can re-assign buttons for each patch so that you can choose a pitched patch like that and have the button presses toggle between intervals through MIDI CCs.

Can you send out four different CCs simultaneously with a single button press? That is key.

A nice bonus to the way I’ve set up my MC6 to control chords is that muting the second oscillator (or removing the flexi routing in a patch altogether) means that the “correct” 3-note rootless voicings can be played too (instead of the 4-note ones) and the spare note can be used to play the root in an octave of your choosing. In fact, I might see if I can add a function which let's you change the octave of the spare note from the MC6. I think I can also see a case for MIDI control numbers for each oscillator’s master volume.

I’m also going to add a function which clears the chord voicings and sets the pitches back to unison so that single-line and chordal functions can be toggled within a patch. It’ll basically function similar to a paraphonic synth where all oscillators play the same single note until multiple keys are pressed, in which case the oscillators divide among the keys pressed. I modified one of my factory patches last night to do this and it sounds great. I want to tweak it slightly further to make use of the spare flexi and then I’ll share it. Sounds really good going into a Phaser in my Lunar.

That also got me thinking about taking advantage of the split mode and running my dry bass alongside the phased synth signal. I can definitely see a pedal loop switcher in my future.

Seriously guys, get a MIDI controller, the possibilities are astounding.

If anyone goes down the route of an MC6 then I’ll share my work (though please consider becoming a patron of mine on Patreon and pledging a small amount for the many hours I’ve put into this).

your sample sounded great, do you know if the

Disaster Area Designs DMC-6

is interchangeable with the MC6 and the patches you have set up?

Thx

Major and minor triads in all three inversions!

Expression pedal controls semitone offsets so that slash chords can be played. This is my first stab at this and I think assigning offsets to buttons would be more accurate. Watch this space...
