More MIDI Implementation

I would love to see more MIDI implementation with the NC. The ability to use a MIDI controller and an expression pedal in conjunction with one another would be amazing. Also, a full CC message list is crucial. These relatively simple enhancements would make the NC such a powerful unit.

UPDATE
So, after some experimentation I’ve discovered that you can use a MIDI controller in conjunction with an expression pedal with the NC (as long as the MIDI controller has a USBC input such as the Morningstar MC6 Pro). Simply connect the NC’s USBC out to the controller and then connect the NC’s EXP/MIDI input to the expression pedal (TRS cable). It works flawlessly and I’m now extremely satisfied with the NC. I hope this information is helpful.

Totally agree! For instance, I am using an AMPERO CONTROL midi switch with the NC but currently only for Program Changes (PC). Would love to have the ability to implement Control Change (CC) so that I could connect an expression pedal through the MIDI controller, so that the EXP pedal could have a different assignment for every preset - that would be a nice addition to the NC, and should be simple since they already have MIDI…

At the very least we should be able to Bypass/Engage the 5 effect slots via midi.

For anyone doing the same - MIDI in through the USB, and Expression in the TRS port, please be aware that the MIDI controller should support host mode. If you have a MIDI controller which does not have host mode, all is not lost. I have used a CME H2MIDI PRO which sits between the MIDI controller and the NC.

Many users here talk about using the M-Vave Chocolate. The Chocolate does not support host mode - however there is a Chocolate Plus which does.

I have not personally checked out the Chocolate Plus, but I assume that it will preclude the need for an external host.

I use my MIDI controller in the USB port for preset select. I use the expression (Dunlop X Mini DVP4 ) in the TRS port for FX parameter change and on / off.

The m vave chocolate support midi control by USB you only need the USB midi vave and you can change preset with USB midi and pedal exp by trs.
