    I have a Zenta, but it's definitely not the model in the OP.

    That is an interesting one - it's a transition 4003, with the truss-rod adjustment at the body end. I'd looked at it earlier in the day, but I don't want to spend more cash just now. (A couple of weeks ago it was a set of Moog Taurus I was having to hold back from buying!)

    I've used a Yamaha U16 USB USB-MIDI interface with mine. I've loaded the programs from the FI and controlled the FI (using the app on Windows) and applied a firmware update to the FI. (I already had that, so decided to use it before going to the recommended/tested list.)

    It sounds great. However, the strings are quite far apart (4 pairs across the width of a guitar neck), so if I were ding another, I'd probably go for a 12-string.

    In my reply I separated out upload/download patches & do firmware updates from control via a DAW. You can think of it as admin vs operations. I think for the first (admin) you will have to go via a USB-MIDI interface. But for the latter (operations), eg. switching patches/banks, you can use any MIDI device which can send PC & CC codes; the ones the FI can accept are detailed in the manual (which I believe @Quatschmacher wrote). So then the question is what can the VB99 do...

    That'll allow you to upload/download patches and apply firmware updates. Also control it from DAW software.

    We have lift-off!

    It's of no interest to me....

    As I said, not accepting there is an issue. Somebody else’s problem. Nothing. However, your post there is at least a recognition that the two formats are valid. As mentioned, I have the Morningstar working, so I’m good with that.

    I bought a Morningstar MC6 instead, but its form-factor meant I had to sacrifice a pedal on my pedalboard and it is quite chunky (ie. tall) compared to other FX pedals. However, on the plus side, the Morningstar is a much more powerful unit than the one I first tried and can be used to control multiple MIDI devices simultaneously. With it, you can assign (and label) buttons for songs/passages, rather than the specific MIDI codes, so it gives a much more meaningful interface once configured. All I've done to start with is program it to do the functions I wanted from the original unit (Program +/-1, +/-5, Bank Select), but I am sure I'll shift to the meaningful song/passage selection model instead (or as well) at some point. However, I spent the chunk of time I was going to use for programming the FI to fixing that technology problem instead, so I haven't got 'round to doing anything on the FI in the meanwhile. (I did toy with implementing my own Arduino or Raspberry Pi based MIDI switcher, but that would have then turned into the be-all and end-all, rather than making sounds.)

    It was just a word of warning - make sure the kit speaks the same language. On the 0-127 vs 1-128 matter; I don't quite know how the latter convention came into being, but ho-hum. However, a further confusion is that the FI's programs start at 1, so you can't have program 0 on it; this means that on the FI you count in the range 0-127 starting at 1 and if you use a switch which displays 1-128, you have to press 2 to get 1 and (on the original switch I had) to get 5 you have to step up to the next bank of 5 to and then go to 1 there so it displays 6. It didn't take long to realise that wasn't going to be viable! I asked both manufacturers if they had a fix to the issue, but neither wanted to know. Hence my warning about checking compatibility.
  12. prowla
    Be very careful to watch for compatibility with other kit if you're looking to use its MIDI capabilities. I had to spend nearly as much again to get something to change program numbers.

    This is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums, but some say the video wrecked his career and led to people deliberately mispronouncing his surname. A more grown-up live version with Ringo...

    Well that solves a mystery! 🙂

    It looks like a lot of work was put into that. Shame it turned out ugly.

    They did have Collection in person as an option!

    Is it the Hiscox one?
  22. prowla
    It looks like it's been pulled - was in the The Real UK Guitar/Amp/Gear Exchange group.
  23. prowla
    Now that's more appropriate! (The guy is getting roasted on FB, fyi.)

    Had I been going to/past Sheffield I would likely have stopped off to get this, but sadly not.

    Looks like a lava lamp.
