Midi and Expression Pedal at the same time?

Nano Cortex

Hey Guys, the update is great. Has anybody a solution for switching Presets via Midi Controller and now use an Expression Pedal for the Wah? Midi only works via trs and so there are no input for the Expression. Expression via midi also not work. Has anybody an idea?

I do my MIDI preset switching from a laptop plugged into the Nano USB. It also provides power. I have an expression pedal plugged into the Nano with TRS.

I would love to see expression control via MIDI in the future, but this works for now.

I found something like this on Reddit.
Chocolate plus midi switcher:

  • dc power into USB c input in chocolate
  • switch into Host mode (switcher on a back)
  • connect Chocolate Host USB A to USB c in Nano (this will send midi commands)
  • expression pedal into trs. And also set trs in Nano as exp pedal.

Ok thanks…. I will try a usb midi host instead… but the idea is good.

I found a Solution…
An USB Midi Host Box like CME H2Midi Pro (50€)give you the possibility to use a cheap Midicontroller like Ampero Control and Change the Midi Signal into USB-C for the Nano… so you can switch Presets via USB-C and use the TRS Input for Expressionpedal. Maybe the Behringer USB-Host work aswell.
I‘m happy

Good! A bit more expensive than chocolate plus (25$) but more flexible with other midi switchers
