I love this thing so much. I’ve been using it with my chase bliss pedals. It’s awesome that this can control chase bliss midi without a midi box, just plug it directly into the unit with TRS. And the software is super easy and does some awesome stuff. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of gear 💯💯
Hi Morningstar...I got this product today but somehow cant read my hx stomp. MIDI thru already off, MIDI PC Rx already set to MIDI, MIDI PC Tx already set to MIDI. Anything I miss on the setting. I just want the controller to be able to turn on and off the 8 effecta on the hx stomp for every preset. Please Help...Thank you very much
I have the same problem, the information on the BPM are changing though when I switch the banks on the Stomp. But still it wasnt talking to each other to engage a footswitch.Got mine last week. Hi Morningstar can you help to answering this. I Saw the tutorial on the MC6 connecting with HX Stomp...but still does not work.

Its an amazing controller. But honestly the leds are important for each switch. Even if the screen is bigger one cant read it while standing and playing. Can i switch my Boogie Mk5 channels with one of the 4 Aux?
I love my MC6, but find I sometimes get a bit lost on what bank I'm on at the moment and what preset is activated and all of that. This feels like the perfect natural progression and might be something to upgrade to soon!
Hi. From 3 August 2021, we moved to LCD screens with white backgrounds for the MC8. The Quality Control reject rate of the previous black ones was getting too high and we could not continue to use them. We changed all our product photos to reflect this change in color as well. Since then we've also had some customers ask how they can change their black screens to white (and vice versa). Both colors work great but the QC rejection rate was something we could no longer accept.
Can the MC8 send MIDI messages to individual ports? For example, have a footswitch send Ch8 CC16 to omni port 3 only? I’m building a rig with more than 16 channels and this could solve my problems if messages can be sent to specified ports…
Hi. Yes, you can do so by using the MIDI Output Mask feature. Just select the 'Utility' message type > Set MIDI Output Mask. You will be able to choose which MIDI output your messages will be sent through.
Hallo, I need to connect Mc8 into Iridium via trs cable and I need to save fav iridium and program change by MC8 but I check MC8 software ,In global setting have 4 choices for setting trs , 1Midi out ,2Midi out standard , 3 Midi out Tip active ,4Midi out Ring active .So which one should be select ???

Can it display what is toggled on or off? That confuses me about the Morningstar controllers for quite a while now. Others have additional LEDs to show the status but that doesn't even invert the display or something like that. 😕
@@Stoffendous Relay switching (which is what amp switching uses) operates at a different voltage from MIDI, making it hard for both to function from the same port.
Hi. Yes, it surely does. For the full list of Message types please refer here - morningstarengineering.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MMS/pages/181698784/MIDI+Type+Glossary
Can it receive midi program changes? In other words can I assign it a Midi channel and send it a program change so it can send multiple changes to other devices much like the One Control Basilisk can?
Hi Joey. Yes, the MC8 can respond to incoming MIDI messages. PC messages engage banks while CC messages can trigger presets and a whole lot more. MIDI implementation chart is found in the manual here: morningstarengineering.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MC8/pages/102138066/v3.6#MIDI-Implementation
Hi sorry this is probably a lame question : I don’t know anything about midi- I’m trying to sync my large pedal board to the same tempo , would this be what I need ?
You can use the Morning Star ML5 and them connect the flint and I think like 4 more pedals that doesn’t have MIDI Input, make some research about The ML5, good stuff tho, bless... 💪🙏
I had the MC8 delivered today. Had my analog rig (GCX switcher) configured and up and running in about 20 mins. So easy! Great job!

You're like REALLY good at editing and composing these videos. I have a pretty good channel, but I wish my editing skills were this good.
Brilliant machine. Great stuff, Ben.
Thank you Brett!

1:10 Bank up \ Bank down how to setup?? In midi editor
Hi. If you'd like to use a switch to bank up/down, you just need to select the Bank Up or Bank Down message type on the editor.

How do i play a chord with pushing only 1 button without ableton, like mcmillen 12 step does ?
It depends on what you are controlling

Hi. For Strymon and most other pedal companies, you should use MIDI Out - Standard.
Can one switch between light and dark themes for the display? Aware of brightness/contrast knobs but they seem to only have one usable position each.

Is there any way to use it with pod go? I mean any way?
Will this work with UAD console 2. Using the Morningstar editor?
Did the MC8 ever have a white screen ?, I have seen one advertised with a white screen, brand new one From a retail shop, is that a misprint ?

@@MorningstarEngineering i recieved mine yesterday and it was white, i bought it for the black color, can i change the color? thanks!
How do you tell if a switch is active or bypassed?
For the MC8, you can make the active preset blink. With the MC6 PRO, there are color screens that allow you to show which preset is active.
@@MorningstarEngineering does the preset name blink?
@@benji_macca Yes, as mentioned in our last reply, you can make a preset name blink if you wish.
Hi! Is this compatible to GFI system synesthesia? Line 6 DL 4 or some JHS pedals? or more like all pedal brands? Thank you!

Active presets can be indicated by blinking. Cheers!
@@MorningstarEngineering can u expand on that. I didnt see any blinking. Please put leds on that they r essential. Its an amazing pedal.
Can they be programmed to EXP out?
Hi. That is not possible due to hardware limitations.
@@MorningstarEngineering but it would add much, right? Possible in new product?
Can I assign trs outputs as amp footswitch without midi?
Hi. That's not possible. But adding this device will allow you to achieve what you want: www.suhr.com/product/micro-midi-control/
Isn't that a bit of a missed opportunity though?
