Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. That is such a simple demonstration to show just how powerful that pedal is. Nicely done! The fact that it can effectively be used to make presets for gear where that just isn't a thing shows how powerful that can be. In theory, with just a couple pedal pushes, you could prep up for the next track in a live set in seconds, which is just insane for a one-person show.
There seems to be sort of a renaissance for midi going on the past several years. Such a great tool. Perfect choice to use volca keys as an example, it shows how non-preset synths can virtually be converted to a limited version of presets. I’m also thinking that it could be a great method to deploy preset variations, especially in a live setting where you want to quickly tweak a set of parameters in the flow of a performance.
Oh yeah the live applications here are basically endless. Especially cause you can basically make the pedal cycle through different banks and presets, you could have your whole set with just one pedal lol.
One of the best pieces of gear on the market. Thanks for this awesome demo, I’ve been playing with some fairly complex setups with mostly pedals processing guitars & synths, but I’ve recently gotten around to playing with my sampler and the super deep expression control. I also grabbed the Old Blood Noise Endeavors MTET which lets me use MIDI to control non-MIDI pedals with expression input, super fun with the EHX Blurst and Walrus Julianna Stereo Chorus especially coupled with the CC waveform generator. However I hadn’t thought about using it to jump synth presets at all let alone in that way, so thanks again!
Two completely different devices. The Mod Dwarf is an audio processor, the MC6 Pro is a MIDI controller. All of the sounds in this video are simply the Volca Keys directly.
Sadly I don't know of anything else that can be a MIDI host. Morningstar does make the MC3, which goes for less than $200 USD, but it can't act as a host :(
@@FreeBeatthanks for responding. I'll add this to the list of "cool gear that would (not) solve all my problems but I don't know how I'd use it anyway" next to the Bastl Midi Looper and 1010music bluebox! Love the channel, very inspiring, I really just need to practice with what I already have and don't know how to use well, my super noisy NTS-1
@@FreeBeatit looks like M-Vave updated their Chocolate wireless pedal to include MIDI host, I've seen some people using it with the Zoom CDR effects (70 is in my eventual pickup list), I might pick one up for $30 just to experiment with - not saying it is on par, but it might provide a very basic functionality

Yeah the options here are basically endless lol, absolutely wild how much life you can bring out of less feature rich synths!

This is so useful!!! And I had no idea you could change parameters on the Volca with CV!
I don't think the Volca Keys can accept CV, everything I'm doing in the video is over MIDI CC :) But yeah, super powerful for how affordable it is!

I agree, the pedal is an absolute monster! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for this! Been on the fence about the Morningstar, this seals it.
Right on, I doubt you'll regret it!!!
This pedal would also work really great with a Kong NTS-1! The NTS has so many sounds. But programming them one stage would take a lot of time.
Sure would!
Very nice. I have been using a stream deck to assign midi messages to a button but I Ihink it's limited to one message per button.😁🎶🎹🎶Play On
That sounds pretty cool!
Cool, although I wonder if you couldn’t do this (and way way more) with a Mod Dwarf.

This is really cool!
Thank you!
great video didn't know this about the Volca keys seems i should get one
It's a great sounding synth for sure!
Now, I want that. So bad 😢😅
It's definitely worth it, SO much power!
Do you know of a cheaper option that can also be a midi host? This one looks very powerful but more expensive than my imstruments 😂

There’s retrokits RK-006. I think it’s had a price increase in the past couple of years so it’s still a pretty penny I’m afraid
@@Comonad I believe the RK-006 is also just a hub, so it doesn't have any of the control abilities that the MC6 Pro does.
