You’re welcome 😂👌

Glad to see you finally got hold of one! I love my older “slider” version, it’s such a great filter!

Whats the weight like?

Plug in the MS to the PC via USB. 

 

Enable “cross MIDI Thru” on the MS.

 

Select the MS as the input and output device in the FI editor.

 

Connect the FI MIDI ports to the MS 5-pin MIDI ports.

 

Works for everything except firmware updates. 

Ah that’s great to know. Thanks! Shame it doesn’t work for firmware updates, but cool nonetheless!

Nice, you may have got lucky then.

 

Make sure you get yourself a USB-to-MIDI adaptor to get the most out of it; Roland UM-One Mk2 is the one I’d recommend. If you have a Morningstar controller then you can use that an interface to the editor. 

Can you elaborate more on using the Morningstar controller as an interface for the FI Editor?

My gigrig atom is in for an upgrade, so just went with this simple set up at rehearsal tonight instead of fuzzes and delays and verbs.... I've only just recently reacquired the XXL. I absolutely love it. Wonderfully filthy distortion. Don't see many around these days...shame. I love it. 

 

 

I’ve owned two of these in the past. You’re right, it’s a great pedal!

Well aware of that - many consumers want everything as cheap as possible without really thinking about what stuff actually costs in terms of work and materials. This isn’t a mega corporation with access to mass production and a huge budget. Quite the opposite - I’ve put a few thousand hours of unpaid work into this. 

Yeah of course the work and materials costs for a unit like this will be pretty high, especially with the size of the team developing it. Good on you for dedicating so much time to a product you really believe in - it certainly seems like an awesome bit of kit that a lot of people would love to have, me included, and even if you never sold one, it’s something to be proud of purely from what your collective efforts have produced. Looking forward to seeing what the final cost will be.

Of course it’ll be reasonable, in line with the component, manufacturing, assembly and development costs. (That doesn’t meant it’ll be cheap though.)

Yeah I get that. Reasonable to the developer and reasonable to the consumer are often very different though 😂 I’ll reserve judgement until we actually have an official price.

If it’s a reasonable price i’ll be very tempted by this. UI looks super clean and I can’t think of a single other unit that does what this does. Big thumbs up from me 👍

This looks great! 

Looks great! Really cool features. What’s the price going to be?

This is SO well thought out. Hats off, here. Superb work in rinsing the available space there. Patchbay with TRS for midi and/or audio is genius!

 

Can’t imagine a world without Morningstar products… I love my MC6

Thanks mate! It gave me many a headache planning it out and putting the bloody thing together, so glad to see it’s appreciated by someone else 😅 Definitely happy with what i’ve managed to cram on to it. Bit heavier than I thought it would be, but that’s not really a problem as it will eventually go in a wheeled peli case anyway.

The Morningstar stuff is phenomenal. That ML10X looks awesome. Looking forward to snagging one of them at some point!

On hold

Hi all, I recently bought these to try, but they're just not my cup of tea as I'm used to the lower tension of the TI flats! They sounded amazing on the one gig I did with them, but I just can't get used to the feel as I've been playing TIs for so long.

They're cut for 4 over 1 headstock with a full couple of winds per tuning peg so should fit any 34" scale bass with that headstock and tuner arrangement (I had them on my Sadowsky P5). Literally put them on, played one gig, and took them off again - so pretty much as new as you can get without being fresh out the pack as far as flatwounds go.

These are £84.99 from Strings Direct - So how about £45 posted.

Hi all, up for sale is my Origin Effects 64 Black Panel BassRIG pedal. It's seen a couple of gigs (always on, never stomped on!) but is in as new condition, save for the velcro applied to the back. I'm the first owner and I bought it brand new, direct from Origin so it comes with the box and manual too. I've decided to go in a slightly different direction gear-wise and this is surplus to requirements. It's a great pedal that I would love to keep around, however the money could be better spent (I want more pedals, but the missus is insisting I put it towards the wedding!)

It's a heavy beast so postage will be a little more than your average pedal, but I'm happy to split the cost of that with you if you meet my asking price. As always, collection is welcome from Windsor, or I'm constantly travelling for gigs so happy to drop it in en route if you live nearby. My gigs this week (Thurs-Sunday) take me to Torquay, Hayes, Newport and Lincoln.

Cheapest I can find brand new is DV247 at £377. So save yourself just over £60 on an essentially brand new pedal. Thanks for reading!

Another change up from me. Swiss army essentials board that can (and will, eventually) link up to the Schmidt Array studio board with everything else on it. The plan is to acquire a Morningstar ML10X for the Schmidt Array, as I already own the MC8. That will link up with this board via the magic of TRS/MIDI giving me total preset/patch control of every pedal on each board.

Bass > Morningstar ML5 > HX Stomp (with Bright Onion Aux switch) > Khan VTDI

ML5 Loops are as follows:

A > Peterson StrobostompHD

B > Aguilar Octamizer

C > Origin Cali76 (running at 18v)

D > Hamstead Subspace

E > TRS splitter cable

MIDI Chain - Out of HX Stomp > IN of ML5 (Eventually the MIDI IN of HX Stomp will connect to the MOD Patchbay - More on that later)

The MOD Patchbay on the Rockboard  is where my dual board fantasy comes to life 🤣i All are TRS inputs/outputs so this makes a lot of what I want to do possible, with just a few cables.

A - Input from Bass to the ML5

B - Will eventually run a TRS to 5 Pin MIDI cable to the MIDI In of the Stomp. There will be a corresponding cable on the Schmidt too, which is connected to the MC8/ML10X combo so when the boards are connected with a TRS cable, it will allow the MC8 to talk to the ML10X, ML5 and HX Stomp, yet when disconnected the Stomp will just control the ML5.

C - Haven't decided what this will be used for yet

D - Connects to the TRS Splitter cable in Loop E of the ML5. Another of these on the TRS Patchbay on the Schmidt Array will allow me to patch the whole Schmidt Array board into loop E of the ML5 with a single TRS cable.

E - 1/4" Out from the Khan VTDI to Amp

XLR - DI Out from the Khan VTDI to Mixing Desk

Here is a pic of the underside for good measure. Power is split at the MOD, one goes direct to the Khan, the other to the Generator. Distributor is powering the Temple Audio USB Adaptor, the GigRig Doubler for the Cali76, the Isolator and the Stomp (just awaiting a GigRig Mr Universe to power the Stomp, and we're good to go!) and the Isolator is powering the Subspace, Octamizer, ML5 and StrobostompHD. Distributor also has a spare 9v out hanging loose (seen hanging from the bottom of the board in this pic) which charges my Bluetooth footswitch for my iPad.

Because I can’t afford it 😂😅

Not taken it out of the house. The pictures prove you have!

 

GLWTS.

Maybe ped lives in the garden?

Could you not use one of these on one of the 9v outputs?

Another change up for me. First gig with it tomorrow.

LS-2 acting as a tuner mute with Turbo Tuner on send of B

Octamizer>Cali76>BassRig>Khan VTDI

Cali76 running at 18V. IEC splitter sends power to the Khan and the GigRig Generator which powers the rest of the pedals. Khan’s DI out goes to the Rockboard XLR patch input, and the Thru jack goes to one of the 1/4” outputs if I need to use an amp. Temple USB adaptor for charging my iPad, and a spare 9v out (hanging loose at the bottom of the 2nd pic) for charging my bluetooth page turner.

BassRig will pretty much just be an OD/Amp sim, but also function as a backup DI if needed.
