Gehört mittlerweile zum festen Setup
Das Gerät ist hochwertig verarbeitet und macht durch die beleuchteten LED-Taster auch optisch einiges her. Besonders für Live- und Homestudio-Gitarristen bietet es alle wichtigen Funktionen, die man im Alltag benötigt. Zu den wichtigsten Features gehören: Mehrere frei programmierbare Fußtaster mit LED-Anzeige Senden von MIDI Program Change (PC) und Control Change (CC) Befehlen Unterstützung für verschiedene MIDI-Protokolle (z. B. USB-MIDI und 5-Pin MIDI, je nach Version) Preset- und Bank-Wechsel für schnelles Umschalten Kompatibilität mit gängigen Modelern und Effektgeräten (z. B. Kemper, Helix, Quad Cortex etc.) Kompaktes, roadtaugliches Metallgehäuse Ich bin sehr zufrieden und würde jederzeit erneut kaufen 🤘

Great piece of gear!
Midi problem solver. Rugged build and versatile. I wanted to let the company know I thought it was great so I sent them an email which I never do. Also, with a suggestion for a future firmware modification. Wilson, the face of the company responded within 20 minutes to thank me and let me know my rather obvious suggestion was already going to be included in the next firmware update. Impressive to say the least. Buy this thing if you need a powerful, inexpensive midi switcher! Don't let the inexpensive part make you think it's not powerful. One thing I needed to do was have the ability through midi to turn on a return in my preamp. This allows a synth sound from my Ipad, triggered by a Fishman Triple play to be routed to the output of the preamp. My combination of gear made a loud pop sound out of the box when I switched in the return if notes were being played. Not very professional. The Midi Captain allowed me to send All notes off to the synth as well as a patch change on switch down, followed by 'return on', then volume change on the return to match the patch volume to the preamp patch, and all notes back on, on the synth on switch up. Kind of convoluted, but no more pop. I've still got several commands left on that switch to dim the lights, trigger pyrotechnics, or make me a drink... no, it won't actually do that last thing. Buy it, it's good!

Pint Sized MIDI Bargain
Deciding to buy this was difficult. People either rave about it or talk about horrendous experiences. I have an expanded pedal board based on a Boss ES8 and Morningstar ML5 for 5 extra loops. The ES8 doesn’t quite give me enough footswitches and I’m limited on space. The Morningstar MC6 Pro has fewer switches, is bulkier and costs nearly 3 times the price so I got my Captain delivered yesterday. I am very happy with it. I have 2 banks set up mainly addressing the ML5 and easy access of Source Audio EQ2 presets. I have read no manual but I watched the firmware update video and got all the other information from Scott Uhl’s 22 minute video. Firmware update hit a glitch on my Mac. I got an error transferring the entire update so I did it a folder at a time. Turns out a couple of language files, which I don’t need, were the issue so I left them off. Other issue I encountered, which I also experienced with the ML5 (but fixed by getting a MIDI hub), is that with the ES8 MIDI going through the Captain - ES8 commands weren’t getting to my other devices. This was fixed by putting the Captain MIDI before the ES8. As the Captain is another controller on the board I couldn’t put it through the MIDI hub. Complaints? Well I can’t bring myself to pay £40 for the wireless dongle. Around £25 would be more sensible. Also note - and I realised this after I ordered the STD version so I had to cancel and reorder - the STD version does not have WiFi! For the extra £10 it’s worth having it even if you don’t need it now.

Facil de usar
Tiene varios modos, yo uso geek mode, ya que se me hace muy facil editar los comandos desde la rueda y boton que vienen alado de la pantalla. Se siente de buena calidad y funciono rapidisimo, lo unico malo es el tiempo para actualizarlo, tiene una memoria muy lenta pero fuera de eso solo lo tienes que hacer una vez si quieres agregarle los nuevos modos
