Great product! Just wanted to double-check before I preorder - is it possible to control channel switching and on/off functions for my KSR Ceres and Eros using the relay switches? Also, is there any chance of adding custom MIDI translation support for the Boss MS-3 in the future? It doesn't currently receive MIDI signals, and it seems like a missed opportunity to control the unit with MIDI for automations and other features. Thanks for the info!

Hi Pirate Midi, im a Tonex One user and this looks like a great product. Tentatively, when in 2025 would this come out. Which modewould the Tonex one be in when linked with the Click v2? When paired with a Tonex One, can it do up or down 1 patch at a time? Can it also select a patch out of the 20 stored on the Tonex One and jumpnfrom say Parch #2 to Patch #17? I look forward to the next video showing in action.

@medinaeng8090 11 күн бұрын

Forgot to ask, i think you mentioned a cutout for a display on the newest version. In relation to the Tonex one , would it give corresponding patch numbers 1 to 20 or something different?

@PIRATEMIDI 11 күн бұрын

Thanks for your question. This should be shipping in Feb or Early March - production is already started. There is no display - the cutout we referred to was an RF (radio frequency) 'window' which is just a piece of black plastic to allow the bluetooth and wifi frequencies to pass through the otherwise metal enclosure. In terms of a mode, I'm not familiar enough with the T1 itself to know what you mean specifically. But yes, you can send a MIDI message that selects an exact preset number, or use other MIDI commands to simply "preset up" or "preset down". Hope that helps!

Can I control 2 tonex one with this, say on different channels, either with separate PCs/button or from an HX for example which is able to send multiple midi commands from a single press? Or would I need 2x of the click v2, one per Tonex one?

@PIRATEMIDI 11 күн бұрын

Hi Rob, I'll copy and paste my answer from Facebook: hi Rob, I just replied to your DM, but essentially if two T1’s can be used (yet to be confirmed) there wouldn’t be a way to distinguish between them and they both react to the same MIDI message because they don’t have MIDI, so there wouldn’t be a way to give each individual pedal a different MIDI channel.

Andertons and Peach guitars are both doing pretty huge online sales In the UK and they've both set up deals with smaller builders in the past to get good products in the past. Probably depends on how much stock you can generate thb because at the price you're asking with the functions available you don't really have much competition as far as I can see. Cheers guys.

Hi! Can't you use the Switch Out mode of the Flexiport to imitate a relay switch?

@PIRATEMIDI 3 ай бұрын

The Flexiport is more limited in its applications due to a limit on the voltage and current of the device it hooks up to. The CLiCK is kitted out with high-voltage relays which can interface with big old gear like footswitch channel switching jacks on many older amplifiers which would normally be incompatible with the Flexiport. For more details on the Flexiport limitations, please see the BRIDGE user manuals where there is a detailed section on compatibility for the Switch Out mode.

@P3ace_maker 3 ай бұрын

@@PIRATEMIDI Thank you for the reply! Here is a quote from the manual: "When set to ‘’Switch Out” mode, the Flexiport will act like an analog switch. This can be used to control functions on non-MIDI pedals that have a switch input like a tap tempo footswitch in or some other function." There is nothing in the text that mentions the limitations that you're referring to, neither does it specify the need to have an extra device (Click) to have it functioning. If I had known that it wouldn't work, I would perhaps opt for a different device or at least buy the Click and save on combined shipping. But now I am a bit disappointed, because the Bridge6 doesn't do what it says it should do in the manual. Now I will have to get the Click separately, and it is next to impossible to find one in Europe ( All I am saying is it should be communicated more clearly in the manual.

@@P3ace_makerah my mistake - there is a warning section at the top of the flexiport chapter, not specifically at the switch out section. This can be found on page 21 (and across the page 22).

The switch out function does not require a click. Only devices with higher voltage on their auxiliary jacks require a click. The details are in the manual as I said above 😊

I am looking at buying a Pirate Midi to allow me to simultaneously switch the channels on a 5150III 50W (which has 5 pin midi) and a Ceriatone clone of a Friedman BH100 (which has a TRS latch style switch, as I understand it). I had understood that the Bridge 4 and 6 are advertised as being able to control channel switching on certain non-midi amps: "Switch inputs and outputs can be used to control your non-MIDI gear, like the auxilliary footswitch on a delay pedal, or the channel switching on many amplifiers." Is that right? Or do I need the CLiCK in addition to a Bridge 4 or 6? Thanks!

@PIRATEMIDI 4 ай бұрын

If the amp has MIDI, you don't need to worry about channel switching - that's all done over MIDI. However, if the amp isn't MIDI controlled, you need to check that voltage the switching jack is sending out. Plug a patch cable into it and use a multimeter to check the DC voltage on the cable. If it's above 3.3v, (5v or 9v+ etc) then the Flexiport on the BRIDGE can't do it, and the CLiCK is the answer. If it's 3.3v, then the BRIDGE can do the switching from the Flexiport. Cheers!

Setting up a bridge to be on midi ch1 for me would be a bad idea potentially. Pretty much every midi pedal is on ch1 by default so to me it is way better to shift your solid pedals in the network away from ch1. leave it for guest pedals with a few basic banks to call up PC commands for that guest pedal and your commands to do control remotely will remain safe n sound. There are also plenty of apps out there and other gear that force you to use ch1 especially boss stuff for Sysex so yeah again best to plan well in advance the choice of channels or you end up paying for it down the road reprogramming everything again.

Thanks a lot for the video! And while technically it's not exactly a cross fade between the two effects, it's still a very nice feature that relies on Bridge OS' rich expression pedal control options. One just needs to bear in mind that in this scenario when you change the mix on the first effect in the chain (my educated guess is that Brig runs into the Cloudburst ;), you effectively change what you're feeding into the second effect in the chain. In other words, if you set the mix on Brig to, say, 70%, what it means is you're going to send into the Cloudburst 30 of the dry signal and 70% of the repeats. This is what you will reverberate by the Cloudburst algorithm, AND this is also what would be the "dry" signal for the Cloudburst. In order to make it work in a "true" crossfade mode, you need to either split the signal before both effects, feed them both with the duplicate dry signal, adjust the mix as described in the video, and then parallel-mix the output of both of these effects. Or, you can use a proper parallel mixer, such as GFI Diaphony or GigRig Wetter Box, and control the mix either via an expression pedal, or (in case of Duophony) via a ( Bridge:)) MIDI controller.

@roscius6204 6 ай бұрын

Correct, except that you will only arrive at a 50/50 mix in either direction because you have a parallel 100% dry and 100% wet at each end of the sweep. The only way to do this is to also have a midi capable pedal with volume in each path, or a stereo pan. Then set the desired end mix on the delay and reverb, this will give you a nicer blend in this scenario If you really want control a separate dry though and run wet dry wet in parallel

@silentguitarplayer6430 6 ай бұрын

@@roscius6204 this is exactly what GFI Duophony (or maybe some other advanced parallel mixers) allows you to do. You can control the balance of fully wet parallel signals, and you have a separate control over the dry signal level in each of the channels.

@@silentguitarplayer6430 I did look at those. I felt like whilst really good at a specific task, it fell into the $500 one trick pony for my needs, mostly because you are choosing the pedals to mix and are stuck with that configuration, at least that was my take on it. Great if that's what your after, like your Delay//Reverb example. I still use a simple old LS2 in 1 loop to blend a Klone > Argo with a Tim > SD1 into an ODR1...🙄I know.. For Stereo parallels I like the standard series/parallel option for delay and reverb but I also like to add specific FX into those paths, for example a filter into or after the delay with the core tone and mods into the reverb in parallel........ current favorite. I can Expression or LFO pan this too (great with tremolo) and or use the Boost in the TimeLine and BigSky I use an ML10X in the FX loop of my PreAmp which is in the parallel loop of an ES8 All my stereo rack and pedal FX are in the ML10X. Boosts Comps Fuzz and ODs are in the other ES8 loops. There's certainly scope for a better loop/mixer in the market. There's limitations with ML10X (no level control) and the Switchblade is horrifically pricey. Something Stereo with Level and Pan that preferably could be implemented multiple times in the chain. Hope this isn't too much information. I love that there's an Aus company going down this rabbit hole.🤗🤗

@@roscius6204 No worries, this is a perfect amount of info to my taste ) I can see your point, and I can see where you're going. This is exactly what bothered me as well, when I got GFI Duophony at first - the fact that you're kind of stuck with two parallel-mixed chains (yes, you've read it right - chains, not pedals, because you can put several pedals in series (or even in parallel!!!) in each of the two Duophony loops, and have all the fun in the world with them ) But I also got myself an ML10X exactly for this purpose - to make the Duophony loops more flexible. The way I have it set up now is that one of Duophony's loops has the entire ML10X in it. So I have several pedals in series in Duophony's loop A, and the ML10X with a bunch of other effects in Loop B. So for loop B I have an option to bring in an endless amoun of sound variations from pedals in ML10X loops, and then mix/blend/serialize with what I have in the Loop A to my taste. It's not perfect on paper, but I have yet to try enough combinations to think that I need anything more :)))

Thanks for the MIDI demo! Never used MIDI, but I’m looking into foot switches to change presets for this pedal cause it’s a nightmare pressing both buttons on the pedal simultaneously live. Love the sounds of this reverb and its small footprint, but made me want to break a window when I realized you couldn’t “tweak and save” easily like 98% of preset reverb pedals lol. If you need to adjust a preset on the fly live Without MIDI, you have to go back to live mode and change all your parameters to meet the preset, then tweak, then save. Maybe version 4 will let you adjust preset parameters on the fly without spending $300 on a midi switch, fingers crossed lol.

I'm a software engineer with 15 years of professional experience and I coded since I was a child. And I struggle with MIDI. Not because it's too complex to comprehend, but because it sucks so badly. It's a bunch of legacy stuff that doesn't do what you expect. Oh, your looper supports MIDI clock? You can then time perfectly when to start and stop the loop. Wrong, because the MIDI clock has zero information on where a measure starts or how long it is. It only knows the time in between two beats. And then every pedal has its own definition of what means what, let alone that many are a pain to program. Loop switchers often can only send one command at a time unless you spend 100s of dollars. Wanna switch on the delay for the solo? My Plethora X5 requires that you know which bank you are in because you need to know which slot the delay is in. Just customize the protocol for each bank? They didn't bother to add that option.
