Hi always went trough the trs the keep the usb free for recording or playing to backing tracks. Why would you prefer the usb host? But as far as I remember usb host only works when you provide to power to the luminite via the normal 9v and not via usb-c
If you wan’t, I can try
I like the USB midi option because it´s bidirectional. I mean, the Footswitches of the Nano also send midi messages to the Graviton. This means that, when switching presets with the Nano switches, the M1 gets that info and shows it in the screen. So, for instance, if you have a small controller, you´d add a couple more switches (with display information) to increase versatility.
Moreover, that way you only need to power the M1 (9V port), and it powers the Nano through USB, which I find convenient (less cables, less PSUs…).
Luminite is researching the way to make it work. They even sent me an updated board, but it still doesn´t work. He says that there are Quad Cortex users saying the M1 works with it, and he doesn´t understand why the QC works and the NC doesn´t, since he tells me it´s that same usb implementation. That´s why I asked you… maybe my Nano is faulty or whatever… If yours work, then there´s something wrong with mine.
That approach (Nano powering through the Luminate) was quite noisy for me, so I gave up powering the Nano through the Luminite. Also I wanted the usb-c to be available, so that I can use the Nano as an interface
I get the Bi-directional approach, but I gave up on it, as I settled for 4 presets (chocolate through usb - very cheap) + 5 for fx (2 Trs Footswitches) and I use the Nano footswitches for fixed presets like Solo or an ambient settings. I spent quite some time to get different screens for the Luminite with each preset. So that it shows which FX is on and off and how each fx is called on each preset. That was the best and cheapest option and it works great.
I can’t try it out, to see, if it works, but If you already had contact with Luminite, I think it isn’t working right now.
Maybe we can open another Luminite nano Topic?
You say that powering the Nano through the Luminitu is noisy… so you already tried it? If the Luminite powers up the Nano… then it would mean that the USB host works! In my unit, the M1 soesn´t power-up the Nano (because the host doesn´t work with it).
I´m VERY interested in knowing if you certainly managend to power it through the Luminite. Maybe I´m doing something wrong! I can make the host work perfectly with other pedals (such as the Zoom G1Four).
I tried it and it didn’t power up.
I think, I used the same usb-c Pack for the Nano and the Luminite and that was the noisy solution 
I did so many iterations with the luminite and the nano, that I get them mixed up sometimes 
I have a Nano connected to DelVerb with the host function and it works there. So it seems to be Nano specific
Yeah, thanks for trying! You´re using great gear, mate!
I´m also using the TRS MIDI option (of course). I use a 10-switch controller so it´s perfectly getting the job done. I was just aiming for a still more polished functionality.
Anyway, The Nano is already great, I´m enjoying it. Hope they add the V2 capturing soon!
Had to rearrange in a PT metro 20 in order to accommodate an HX one. Needed the extra effects (and the Line6 effects quality). An afternoon well spent
Hello friends!
Here is my current setup:
Guitar → VP4 Input → VP4 Send → Switchboard → Nano → VP4 Return → VP4 Out → Amp Return (motrly i’ve been using a Seymour Duncan PS170)
In switchboard loops I’ve been playing around with some drives, and the white stomp is a compressor that probably will loose it’s place on the board because I need to find some space for the Dunlop expression pedal)
As far as midi is concerned, I have a boss din5 / trs cable connecting the switchboard to the VP4, and there is a p2 trs improvised midi connection between VP4 and Nano.
I am using the PC changes to select presets on VP4 by preset on the switchboard, the VP4 is amazing in terms of gapless (and lagless) preset loading, so I have the luxury of not even using scenes. With that i can leverage preset EQ and tweak when needed.
The Nano entered the board as a replacement of my UAFX Ruby. I like the approach of setting up an amp and then building effects around it, I never got used to having several amps per preset. Altough with the Ruby I managed to get wonderful cleans and crunchs, I was never able to get some high gain from it (even using the Xotic SL Drive - it just sounded not right to my ears), so I turned to the Nano as a “cheaper” alternative to buying another UAFX pedal (we’re in Brazil, with 100% of import taxes on top of prices). So, I am using Nano primarly as amp, not even using anything midi, I switch presets on Nano on it’s stomps directly. At first I thought I would need to use some effect from Nano, but VP4 gapless just rendered effects on Nano almost useless (I wish I could downgrade Nano to the firmware with gapless switching).
I could connect the expression pedal directly to the VP4, but chose to connect to the Switchboard if I, for some reason, would need to use expression in the Nano. Never got that far.
Powering the board I have a DC7.
Running the a shure wireless into the NC, both running off power banks with the shure being powered by a magnetic phone charger through a 5V- to 9V DC step-up transformer and a USB-A to USB C converter. Running the guitar into the shure, to the NC. IR bypassed on Out 2 to a Seymour Duncan PS200 for a cab. Out 1 runs with the IR through a TRS patch out to a D’addario TRS- XLR converter mounted to the chassis with a 3D printed shroud. Using a D’addario DVP4 through the EXP out to add any effects i may need per patch, currently use them for a flanger or tremolo on different patches. All mounted on a 10” pedal riser my Warwick. All dual-locked to the chassis.
Hi guys. Now that it has arrived, this is my NC pedalboard.
The Midi Captain Mini 6 is nice and small but hard to program it the right way, at least for me, just typing on a plain txt. I’d rather have a visual app.
Nice Setup 
I have checked out MIDI Captain and it looks like a better option than what I have which M-Wave Chocolate Plus. The reason is it has long press and other options. You could also use it for other pedals like Strymon Timeline etc..
I wanted to ask you.. Does it have wireless BT MIDI? It is not clear at their site.
Are there more super modes other than Kemper Profile Player?
Thanks..
I play Bass VI instruments, and I use em as both guitar and bass so I like to have my signal split into both a guitar preamp and bass preamp.
Yes, you can configure long press or a second short press, or send more tan one midi message on any press.
It can be used for any pedal which supports midi.
It doesn’t have MIDI BT.
There is regular mode and super mode with the original FW and the one for KPP.
But you have PySwitch that you can install. Although it’s more aimed at the 10 switch version and more in line with Kemper and anoter pedal which I’m not familiar with.
It would actually be great to contact the devolver and work with him on creating a FW for Nano on te 6 switch version.
Thanks for the detailed info 
I could not attach the chocolate std to plus using host. So currently plus goes through usb, std through trs.
There is a 2x500ma, 3x300ma power source underneath, 2x500ma using a current doubler powering the NC. Chocolates are powered with a step down 9V to 5Vx2 usb module.
Also figured out smt, since there is no stomp feature on NC, if effect on/off is assigned to chocolate, and if you leave the effect on and change to another preset, next time you need to tap twice to activate it.
I put two “on” to cc messages on effect slot, instead of “on/off”, if i want effects of just tapping to preset switch again, works like charm for live!
Nano Cortex + Boss RC 10 looper and rhythm.
The Nano Cortex is connected to 2 Chocolate Plus + Expression Pedal.
One Chocolate Plus changes the presets, the other Chocolate Plus turns the effects on/off, and the expression pedal alters the effect parameters (e.g., Wah Wah).
One Chocolate Plus is connected via TRS cable (P10 of the Nano Cortex to the P2 of the Chocolate Plus) in normal mode.
The other Chocolate Plus is connected via USB cable (USB C of the Nano Cortex to the USB of the Chocolate Plus) in powered host mode. The expression pedal is connected to this same Chocolate Plus, via the P2 port.
The Chocolate Plus units must be configured correctly for everything to work.
And it works!
Hey man! How are you using the Teletronix Park booster? Do you have it at the very end of your chain, after the Nano Cortex?
Wow, 2 chocolate plus, brilliant idea!
