The big advantage of TRS type midi cables is that they're really easy to orient, a really important aspect when putting together a pedalboard. LE: and just as I write this, it gets mentioned in the video :)

I have to say, your videos are amazing and while I don't have your product yet (i'm shopping for a midi pedal at the moment) You extremely friendly beginner videos an polish is swaying me heavily in your direction. You're answering so many of my questions in one clear and clean video that it's saving me hours of time searching for answers. My goal is to work with Neural DSP and ableton to switch between presets and loop/record.

Strymon pedals have a special adapter to go from jack to 5 pin midi. Could you explain this in a future tutorial. I noticed my iridium works by plugin directly to the jack input of my MC6mk2, would it keep working as long as I keep connections with TRS jacks, even with a midi box in the path?
@MorningstarEngineering
@MorningstarEngineering 2 жыл бұрын
Hi. You can make MIDI connections with TRS or 5-pin connectors. It will not affect your MIDI signal. A MIDI Box in between will not affect anything either. It is just splitting and relaying the MIDI signals.

Hi. Yes, you can link as many ML5s as you need together via their MIDI In and MIDI Thru ports. You can set each looper to a different MIDI channel for independent control of all loops.

Is midi thru and midi out the same thing?
@MorningstarEngineering
@MorningstarEngineering 9 ай бұрын
Hi. They often share the same port but they are technically not the same. MIDI Thru is the passing through of MIDI from an incoming source out to other devices. And MIDI Out refers to the generation and sending of MIDI.

The old method with MIDI IN to MIDI THRU was most effective with just one cable between interface. The new method is so ridicilous !!! Adapter, cable, converter, power supply, cable. Its so simple to add the old MIDI port and costless for the conceptor and the musician.
