MIDI EVERYTHING! How I use the Morningstar MC8

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON:   / markjohnston  

Diving into the world of MIDI can be daunting and fraught with strange jargon and high learning curves. Some MIDI controllers place the user on rails, guiding you safely and easily into a world of simple preset recalls. Helpful? Sure. Boundless and rewarding? Not so much. The Morningstar MC8 (and it's smaller, older brother the MC6mkii) shuns that lack of freedom while still offering a clean and straightforward path to implementing just about anything could could think to do with all those smart devices. From recalling presets on individual pedals to MIDI clock across all devices to building an entire Chase Bliss Audio Blooper workstation; the MC8 and the accompanying desktop editor creates one of my favorite UI workflows for crafting my pedalboard into the streamlined spaceship it was always meant to be.

Will this video show you just how I did that? No, actually it won't. But it will show you all the ways I use my MC8, the why's behind it, and hopefully will inspire you to dive into MIDI yourself.

But for real; if you want to know more, hit up Morningstar or throw a question in the comments below and I'll try to answer as best I can.
