I picked the clips up on eBay here (small and medium sizes).  I was concerned that the adhesive wouldn't be strong enough but they've been rock solid

Thx for the link, I’ve ordered small and medium too! All I need now is a tiny short MIDI cable and the rebuild can begin. Again. 

Well, that wins neatest board of 2020 by a mile - sterling work!

If you’ve got .pre files locally, use Import. If you want to move an existing preset to another position Save As

At least, that’s what I do!

iOS app works fine with a lightning to audio dongle thingy. I suspect with these things original Apple version worth a few extra quid to avoid issues!

For anyone reading and pondering MIDI controllers.... it’s Morningstar ftw so far. So glad I listened to the guru and kept my MC6 🙂

Mapped some filter MIDI functions in C4. Worked out roughly what CC values correspond to the on screen knob values in the desktop app. Set up a bank on MC6 with:

Button A - Press 1: Filter preset engaged / Press 2: Bypass pedal

Button B - Press: sweep frequency up / Release: return frequency to starting position.

Button C - Press: Invert filter / Release: un-invert filter.

So I can call up a filter sound, and then hold Button B and C to cause auditory carnage on the fly!

Mental. So many things yer can make this do and I really am a numpty. 

Aha! Thanks. That explains why not all numbers would map to control 1 then. I couldn’t see a pattern when I too started an Excel log of them all.

It looks like only certain functions can go on #1 and same for #2 then? Had assumed anything could go anywhere....?

EDIT: dur. Of course, only things that make sense on a knob can be mapped to a knob I guess.

I’ll have a crack at mapping knob 2 in such case...

More playing around with the MC6. I’ve mapped Ctrl1 and Ctrl2 knob assign, and managed to get various functions on to those knobs eg Bass, Drive amount etc

Is there a smarter way to determine the CC value for each of the functions? Atm I’m cycling through them and eyeballing what the knob shows in the desktop editor.... but trying to find Treble is slooow! 🙂

Now THAT’S a good idea. The level of options here is almost ridiculous!!

@Quatschmacher - successfully setup bank on MC6 to step thru C4 presets. Thanks for the pointers!

You were right: MC6 it is.... can’t see there’s many things I’d need to do that this setup won’t give me. Loving this after a slow start!

Ah..... the manual tells me how to open the midi map editor in the app which I’m guessing lists all of the CCs. Will try tomorrow...

Aha!! That’s the missing piece.... there’s a CC for preset up and another for preset down. Sure, that’ll work, and I get how to do that on the MC6.

So, I don’t see those functions in the C4 manual’s ‘Current MIDI mapping’ table... is there somewhere I can access a list?

Ta!

Thanks for all your work @Quatschmacher, and for taking the time to answer a ton of questions.... really appreciate it!

Now I've got a workflow going, I can see it's gonna be MC6 ftw here.  I used the Neuro desktop app to burn a load of presets to the C4.  Then set MC6 Bank 1 Preset A to engage a Filter sound on press 1, flash 'Bypass' when engaged, and then bypass C4 on Press 2.  Quite chuffed with that!

Then I later browse through them via the MC8 while playing, find one I like, add other SA pedals into the mod and then save as a Hub scene using the Hub buttons.

That's how I'd envisaged doing things I must say.... how do you "browse" through C4 presets from your MC8?  What I can't see in the MC6 manual is a way to do a simple "button 1 advances to next preset", "button 2 goes back to previous preset" sort of thing, without programming each message in....  For sure: that would be a good way to browse on the C4, and then capture the scene on the hub.

I really am sorry for all the Q's 🙂

Thank you! This seems to be sub-optimal behaviour imho - I’d expected to be able to load the C4 up with presets, then connect via the hub, browse/recall them and save to a scene. My thinking being then I edit the scene later to add other SA pedals if I buy one. And then use the MC6 to recall hub scene and thus c4 + other pedals if added.

Seems I may as well load up the C4 then recall c4 presets directly from the MC6...

Another n00b question if I may: c4 connected to hub, hub connected to pc. I see how to add pedal to scene in hub and edit pedal settings on c4... is there a way when connected via the hub, to browse and burn cloud presets etc to c4? And/or browse currently installed presets on the C4?  If so I can’t see it... thanks!

Ah ok, makes sense. Thanks!! Now you’ve mentioned that I do dimly recall reading that somewhere. Having got a Hub and retaining the MC6 I’m figuring out a workflow....

A really dumb question: when I have iPhone connected to C4 via jack cable and use the neuro app, I browse cloud presets, and then burn to device.... the app doesn’t show presets that are already stored i.e. so as to prevent me over writing presets already stored on the C4? Is that right? Thanks!

I’m withdrawing this, will bite the bullet and buy a Hub 🙂

Wednesday bump!

MIDI, anyone? 😀

Bump.... anyone need some top flight MIDI goodness?!

They’re like buses, are these. Been loads for sale recently after none for ages! Amazing pedal. Truely: mind bending. 

Ah ok... so the OP went with a REALLY sweet ‘Ray 5. Round of applause. That’s an absolute belter... if as a bass player you can’t appreciate that you’re just being difficult frankly.

USA Fender Dimension is another one that regularly sells below their worth. I got one on here, a Deluxe HH 5 string for £600. Killed my GAS for another StingRay 5 as soon as I got it.

£600?! Dayum!!

Still reading thru and I see “sorted” but there’s some good suggestions so far.

The Dimension’s the pick of the bunch. It’s rendered my ‘Ray untouched. Fender shoulda sold waaaay more of these, but I get why they didn’t. 

Bump....

This is well worth watching too.... long and detailed BUT play along. Hit pause. Save the preset.

I found this invaluable when working out how to build a sound from scratch!
