MIDI switcher / controller

keir · February 2023

I’m just putting the final touches on my new (slightly downsized) board with a GigRig G3 as the main controller.

I have quite a few pedals that have the ability to save presets via MIDI but don’t have screens and would like something to make scrolling up and down them and saving easier.

The G3 will be great for programming and using for playing our set but it’s not the best for managing a few pedals with MIDI presets if you want to have instant access / scroll through them.

Previously I had an MC8 which was great but having that and a G3 on one board was just silly.

What I think I need, is something where you can select MIDI channel 1 for example and scroll up or down the PC numbers then the same with channel 2 and so on. I don’t need to be able to do multiple changes / presets

I was looking at the one control gecko as an option, does anyone have any experience with it? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks

I haven't used the Gecko but the Morningstar MC3 is worth a look. Compact, straightforward to use and could easily do what you are looking to do. Unfortunately, they are rare as a very rare thing..

I had thought about an MC3 but they are very rare these days, I saw Morningstar say they don’t know when they will go back into production due to chip shortages too.

I've got a Disaster Area Micro Switch, but (I think) it doesn't switch channels.
