If you could have 2x Mortrix instead, would you do that? Or does the MC6 Pro still offer something the Mortrix doesn't?
For the amount of work I’ve put in over the last two years plus, I’d hope I could have as many Mortrix boxes as my heart desires. :-D
There are still some things I can do on MC6 Pro that I’ve managed to do more neatly than on Mortrix, in part due to the multiple button actions and shift states and direct access to scroll counters. Some of these things may change depending on whether/how Morten implements some other features I’ve proposed. (Button actions will be limited to press and long press though.)
Currently Mortrix cannot act as a USB interface to a PC, MC6Pro can and I use that feature a lot. This is one idea for an expansion module, though I wish it were an integral part.
MC6 Pro is and always will be smaller.
I think this is beacuse he's a beta tester for both platforms. He also does Beta testing work for SourceAudio too. He's a fella with a finger on the pulse of what's new and happening in wild world of digital pedals.
True. I’m in a very fortunate and privileged position to have access and help develop all this cool stuff. Whilst a fair few of my ideas have made it into SA pedals and even more have gone into MS products, Mortrix contains a large amount of my ideas (some of which were things I’d sent to James of Morningstar years ago but he didn’t/couldn’t use, some inspired by the way Morten had made Mortrix). The range limiters on expression values and pedal travel and positional triggers were things I suggested and Morten implemented them beautifully. It’s been a very intellectually rewarding collaborative endeavour. Morten already had a very cool device when we were put in touch with one another; working together, we’ve made it an order of magnitude better. I just hope enough people like it enough to support it and make it a success so those efforts aren’t in vain.
But to sum up, even though I’m obviously a bit biased towards Mortrix, I won’t be giving up my MC6 Pro. Definitely a case to be made for having both. (I did get rid of my MC8 not long after I got the 6 Pro as aside from having two fewer buttons, it did everything else I needed and more neatly than the 8.)
