Midi control for zoom ms60b+

[la bam]

Hi, does anyone have any experience of using a midi foot controller with the newer zoom ms60b+. 

 

Is it just a case of connect the two? 

 

Will any midi foot controller work? 

 

Any help appreciated.

Yes. Exactly as per the older version. USB midi controller like a Disaster Area one

MIDI over USB is not the same as traditional MIDI using DIN cables which is a peer-to-peer connection. 

 

USB over MIDI requires one of the devices to be the "host" This usually means a computer or a dedicated USB Host device. Unless either the Zoom or the MIDI foot controller are capable as acting as a host device you will need something between them to do the job. As usual Zoom don't tell you much about the USB MIDI capabilities of the MS60b+. Some of the Disaster Area pedals might work but the couple I had a look at don't appear to be host devices.
