Geejay Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Anyone using a Yamaha 500 amp? I've been pleased with mine but want to use the midi switching facility to change sounds mid-song. Can you suggest a good foot controller/ switcher and how to use it. It'll probably become clear when I get one and plug it all together.

Rich Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yeah, the MIDI Mouse is a cute little thing. I've got one and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneal6 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I got a cheap one off ebay and it works fine with mine - I think it's a yamaha MFC5. 5 switches, cost about £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geejay Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions. I'm watching the 'bay for something suitable. I like the Midimouse too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geejay Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks for the help guys I've been watching the 'bay and checked out the cost of a new Midi Mouse. Went into town shopping this morning with my wife and after the fifth clothes shop managed to escape and not only found a copy of Bass Player in Smiths but a used Midi Mouse in the local music shop. Got it home and it works a treat on the amp and uses a power supply I had spare. Great. It's simple and straightforward to use, seems well built and does the job. Now I'll just have to program in a few mean sounds into the amp. Geejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
