Red Velcro!! Very nice, hadn’t thought of that. Gonna go with “not black” next time mine needs a refresh, LIKE this!!

Aye. There’s much about the editor that could be improved. The save as dialogue needs to be bigger by default; once you’ve typed something into search being able to press enter to execute rather than having to click a button etc. But it’s not SA’s core field of expertise so I guess it is what it is. Luckily, programming the sounds themselves is pretty easy. One hint - when you’re tweaking sounds, get a cheapie looper to sit in front of the C4 so you keep your hands on the mouse! The lekato that’s like £30 on eBay works for me for this!

That’s the method unfortunately

I stand corrected, my bad!

I like the angst! 😝

I don’t know how much control the DMC gives you over this but…. On the C4, sending it CC 104 and a value recalls that preset number Engaged. CC 103 and a value recalls that preset number Bypassed. I *guess* that ‘behind the scenes’ the DMC is actually sending these values hence why (with you holding down left button) it’s able to send “engaged” or “bypassed” CC - and it must be sending CC coz you can’t change presets on a C4 using Program Change MIDI messages

From the C4 manual (with apols for formatting!), think it’s this setting? USB MIDI Skip Power Check: The C4 can receive MIDI PC messages via the pedal’s USB port. It requires MIDI DAW software or a MIDI host device with USB. The C4 should respond to most devices, but some don’t generate enough power for the C4 to recognize them as a MIDI host (the MIDI Baby and qCONNECT from Disaster Area Designs are two examples). If your C4 is not responding to your MIDI host device, try checking this box.

Gallien Krueger RB-700II - come up s/h for good money, not too heavy…. Really flexible controls and GREAT sound. Like being fed by 18v preamps and big humbuckers 😀

Yeah. All Devices on different MIDI channels.

The older Premiums were beautiful. Some great choices of woods. Really suit the gold hardware and I’m not usually a fan. And those Nordies ❤️❤️❤️ They sound even better than they look! Had a 1205 that went when I got a ‘Ray…. Am now considering flipping the ‘Ray for another SR, there’s some tasty ones for sale on here atm….

I have absolutely no need whatsoever for one, but I just want to poke at it. Have had to ban myself from YouTube.

It does stick in the throat a bit for sure. But it gets offset by the silly number of sounds that you can use. Also, for me, adding MIDI to C4 meant kicking muff, filter and octave off the board and into the sale ads which helped offset some. Plus, if you add further MIDI pedals you’re sorted.

Yeah I hear you. Sub £100 is a kind of a bearable gamble. The more I think about it, the more I can’t see why you couldn’t use the Micro as a Host only with an MC... For sure you can set an MC and an SA pedal to be “not on the same MIDI channel as the DMC” and assuming the DMC passes MIDI received out again (even if that means some sort of y splitter or a specifically wired trs Jack cable to get the MIDI into the MC) it should work!

This made me curious so I asked the question, as it would be good info to know / add to this thread: https://forum.morningstar.io/t/source-audio-dmc-micro-mc/1718

No.... if you're using a Morningstar you MUST have another box that provides Host, the MC products don't. So that's a Neuro Hub, or a DMC Micro, and I guess there might be others?

Have just had a quick scan of their new YouTube for the pro, and the user manual.... yeah, I *think* in terms of functionality all you gain is name display of presets (assuming you programme them on the DMC pedal, of course!). I dug into the features of the non-pro version when I was MIDI shopping. You'd need to compare both manuals / YouTube vids etc side by side I guess to be sure (assuming latest firmware on both boxes!). The cost difference is two things of course: the Micro has USB host built in, so you don't need a SA Neuro Hub, just a USB adaptor cable, and of course the Morningstar controllers are expensive! I think the DMC would let you scroll through presets on the C4, and engage/bypass them, and give you some limited CC control (like, you could switch distortion on/off; flick a value like filter frequency between two values etc) but how you actually do all of this on a box with defined switch functions and only two buttons might be challenging live, but I guess like anything you'd get used to it. Bottom line: it's well worth adding external MIDI control full stop, so a DMC would be a good choice I'd say... and *in theory* if you add a Morningstar later, you've already got USB Host support in the micro so maybe wouldn't need a Neuro Hub?! I'm not an expert on this though!

Good man so. Just back from my first one since July last year I think. We were terrible and I loved every minute of it!!

@BassedinBucks bought an EHX synth pedal from me. Great transaction, prompt payment. All good, thanks! Colin
