I’ll send instructions once I’ve made sure it works. It’s quite a headflip to be honest. As a side-note, the MC6 MKII is amazing! I’ve just worked out how to use buttons to change in real time what messages the two expression ports control, which means I can switch between controlling synth volume, master volume, filter cutoff, modulation, portamento time or any MIDI CC I choose.

It’s really stable for me. The only time I encountered significant tuner display wobbling was when there was LFO applied to the pitch via aftertouch so that the base pitch was wavering. This was a bug with the aftertouch implementation that got fixed before the release though. Do check that you’re not inadvertently sending any pitch vibrato (either via CC1 or otherwise). If it turns out that you are and if that is the cause then let me know as it’ll need addressing. What pickup configuration are you using when tuning? Neck pickup may be more stable due to fewer overtones. Try that and see if there’s any change.

I’m cooking up something tasty in the lab. I’ve done the number crunching so hopefully I’ll get to implement something this evening. It’ll only be of interest to those of you who can send out 4 CCs on a single button press. I’m doing it for the Morningstar MC6 MKII but the method will work with iOS devices and possibly the Boss ES-5/8 (perhaps @GisserD will be able to chime in). If it works (which it should) it’ll open the door to configuring any 4-note chord shape you desire (5-note if you use your bass as one of the notes) at the touch of a button.

It’s pretty easy to do though. Read the FAQs in the manual. I wrote one about reordering patches.
-
No.
-
Yep, register on the patch share website (link in second post) and download via pc from there. Then follow the instructions in the manual/faq for adding a patch to the pedal. Don't know the Bowie song well enough to recommend a patch.
-
Yep, don’t risk anything less, and leave crush room between the outer and inner box. -
Just call yourself a synth player and the barrier is removed.
-
These are great synths. I’d strongly advise against posting this as the original packing isn’t up to the rigours of the postal service. (Mine went off for a minor adjustment to the sub oscillator output volume and came back with damage to some knobs (the box and polystyrene inserts had been trashed) took two further returns to get everything replaced (luckily under warranty).)

Just uploaded my new "Ain't Nobody" versions. @lee650 2a is closest I think.

I've just uploaded a little experiment for any Morningstar MC6 MKII owners. It's in the Online Program Database and is called "QM MC6 Chord Test 1". If you download my SysEx file for my MC6 and load it, then bank 2 will give you access to 6 chord types in on 6 buttons. The two expression inputs control modulation and synth volume. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to import and export a single MC6 bank so make sure you back up your controller before trying to load my SysEx file. File is here.

I know I probably answered that on the fi thread, but am repeating in case anyone was reading here - it will default to 440 once you’ve performed a reset once after updating. Basically, there are extra lines of code in v3 so certain parameters are either on code lines that never existed before or are on different, but previously-existing lines. These lines need to be “flushed”. In the case of lines that are patch parameters, this is taken care of when one loads the the new factory soundset. The lines pertaining to global features need to be reset manually or automatically via the boot menu. Once done, it will perform as expected.

HX Stomp + Morningstar MC6 ....”Tips & Tricks”
Quatschmacher replied to milford59's topic in Effects
You don’t necessarily even need to sacrifice a switch for changing pages as you can assign multiple messages to a button. You could have a long press be the command that switches pages but you could still use that button with any of the remaining actions. -
Already done, hopefully it’ll help. I don’t feel like I bit anyone’s head off. It certainly wasn’t intended that way. If you mean @GisserD‘s response, I read that as more of an eye roll. You’re welcome. Presumably it solved the accuracy issue.
-
Sorry, did I miss something? Who bit whose head off and when exactly? Not to my knowledge. And not everyone has the time or inclination to repeat information to those who don’t feel inclined to do a bit of reading, especially when that information is already clearly explained. (Though I seem to be doing it a lot.)😆
-
True, it could probably be added there too, though there is limited space for information. The idea of the updater was to make it short and clear. Even now some users have overlooked clear information. I’ll see about adding it to the instructions document though. It is mentioned in 3 relevant places in the manual including the FAQs.
-
Also, again, this is clearly mentioned in the section of the manual on updating the firmware:
-
I played a 3x the other day and it was great.
-
The part about where to put the knob in order to see the parameter value is covered twice - in the “editing the parameters” section in both the quick start guide and the main manual, but probably worth mentioning explicitly in the part dealing with tune base in the FAQ section at least. The page you quoted does indeed tell users to turn the dial to see the parameter value, contrary to what you claimed:
-
440 is the default. Basically the “problem” occurs due to the restructuring of the program code between v2 and v3 (same reason why you need to wipe all 99 preset slots and overwrite them with v3 presets before doing anything else). There are more lines of code so certain parameters got shifted to different line numbers. Once it’s been done, the problem won’t come up again. Also, it is obvious if people read the manual as it is mentioned in no less than three different places. At the very least, I’d urge everyone to read the FAQs at the very end of the manual.
-
It’s where Source Audio is most active and where a lot of the development discussions took place. It’s a bit quiet otherwise for the stuff I follow.
-
The ADSR controls are changeable but only by swapping out the opto-mod cards.
-
Have you posted on TB/the gear page too? Purple is very popular.
-
Worth asking Tom at Cog to see what he’d charge.

https://www.mu-tron.com/products/micro-tron-iv/ @Bo0tsy, I guess you’ll be buying one of these.
