My impression is that it is indeed the user interface & ease of use (though I'd still want to use a PC to configure it rather than learn another UI); specs-wise I don't know the limit on the numbers of items which can be controlled, whether memory is upgradable, and so-on. My inclination is to view it as a natural progression in the evolution of MIDI switch controllers. That's not a negative thing, BTW; continuous improvement is a good thing.

I can't say its "easy" to make your own? I'm not sure the "sequence" of commands here is the same as a sequencer; I think that the "sequence" here is more about controlling MIDI devices parameters, perhaps in order, rather than triggering notes. As mentioned, I could see myself using one of these to control settings/select patches on a number of devices; heck, if I changed my switcher from the Quartermaster to a MIDI-capable one, this could be the only unit required on the floor and the pedals themselves could be on a shelf in a rack.

Let’s leave the code there and see if it splits into two products on its own. So, it does need effort. Actually, I don’t think it’s a particularly good idea anyway, though.

You have to implement the functions to support the split and activation , you have to do two manuals, you have to run two product streams, you have to test both. None of that takes zero effort.

Yes, I partially picked up on the “computer-grade connections” comment. I have a 12-Step, but also a CIOKS power supply with a USB out.

I would've thought that two versions would increase the development costs.

It looks pretty much the same to me. Also similar to the ones on the Roland PK5 and Keith McMillen 12-Step MIDI pedals. My thought is: you wire these things up on a pedalboard and never plug things directly into it.

I'm sensing negativity...

I'm not sure I agree with that; I have a couple of pedals and MIDI devices which would benefit from a MIDI controller like this. Maybe a HX Stomp, a C4, and a Minitaur, even a guitar synth. I'm assuming that you can encompass the settings for several devices for each song (or sections thereof) in a set-list, maybe even shift the pedals off the floor and safely into a rack. I meant in the role it fulfils, ie. a single pedal to control multiple MIDI devices at a time. It's plain to see it is a step forward in at least presentation of the information.

In terms of the functionality, a lot of folks will use it for essentially the same thing.

I suppose its nearest competitor is the Morningstar MC8, which is £320; there's a bit of latitude on the price given that it's got a better display, but the role will be similar.

In my case he certainly wanted to assert control of the situation and manage things on his terms; I simply stuck to the matter in-hand and joining in with his silly games was of no interest nor benefit to me.

He's more than that; he certainly stalked me on social media and posted derogatory comments (I have screenshots), sent me insulting messages (I have screenshots), posed as a legal persona and threatened proceedings (I have screenshots), and asserted that he would come to my house to sort things out "man-to-man" (the police were involved in that angle, as messages I'd received made me concerned about the possibility of a physical intimidation).

Kilroy was here!

Take it along to an upcoming Bass Bash and folks will be happy to help!

Rotten eggs in the public gallery? 🙂

After they've died... ...and then the legend lives on.

Looking good!

One of the FB selling groups has been blocking threads warning against him.

I have to say I first read it as that and thought WTF????

Oh yeah - MIDI…

Thanks, so for comparison, the MC6 is 145mm x 95mm x 45mm and the MC8 is 224mm x 125mm x 50mm

Is it pronounced "me-dium" or "mid-ium"?
