Guitar Plugin Foot Controller - ft. Neural DSP

[@MorningstarEngineering]

NOTE TO ABLETON USERS: For MIDI controlling Neural DSP plugins within Ableton. You will need to use Note messages with positive note velocities instead of CC messages. That is the only way Neural's plugins respond to Ableton MIDI right now.

[@Rabbimitterhoff1]

Does that mean that there is no way to use an expression pedal with the Neural DSP VST in Ableton, since the Expression Preset Messages do not include Note messages?

[@brucekai7462]

Aaaand this is why Morningstar is WAY ahead of the curve and every other company!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Plugins are a great way to get amazing tones without needing too much hardware and cables. They are also fantastic for recording in a DAW. But they are often uninspiring to engage with, especially when you're a guitar player. Now you can keep both hands on your guitar and still have control over your plugins!

[@GahMehGrrrr]

Works great. Thanks

[@skirwan78]

you've made several awesome videos for things i use like Ableton and Neural DSP--- I can't tell you how awesome that is. Could you make a video using BOTH ableton LIve AND Neural DSP for say looping where you're controlling both at the same time (Neural DSP & Ableton)?

[@antoineblastedblack]

Thx a lot, this is the video and the pedal i was looking for to control my neural dsp plugin 🙏🤘

[@ezaechiel]

Thanks a lot, thanks to you I finally achieve to configure my midi expression pedal on neural dsp ;)

[@xforeverwarx]

How to use the tap tempo function in other plugins like Gojira X? Does not work like shown in this video unfortunately :-/ @morningstarEngineering

[@BlackwoodMountainMan]

Thank you so much. It has enriched my life being able to do this. Very well explained. Unfortunately I couldn’t get this to work in MainStage ( I find most Apple programs very counterintuitive) even thought the controller was recognised I couldn’t get the plugin to react. However I use the standalone version ( of Petrucci) and use the loopback facility of the Focusrite interface to channel the Petrucci output to a MainStage channel , rather than use the Petrucci plugin. I just use MainStage as a live mixer ( in edit mode) and it works really well ( and was free with the MacBook) and it also has my Toontrack drum kit on a channel. If I changes patches in Petrucci ( I used to save the patch with an effect activated and then have a seperate patch without or with a different effect ) there is a slight gap in the sound ,but by changing the fx only it is instantaneous. I use an Airstep to change GTR patches and Fx. Cheers BlaMM ( Blackwood Mountain Man )

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. Gaps in sound are not caused by the MIDI controller as MIDI messages get sent instantly. That is due to the software/device you are controlling.

[@jcarh]

Can I do a setup that switches between multiple different Neural DSP Plugin presets? For example I would like to use a preset in the Rabea Massad plugin and then Nolly plugin.

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. Yes, you can easily do that. Just set each plugins to respond to MIDI from different channels. And send the messages meant for each on their respective channels.

[@jcarh]

I have been looking at this controller and a few others... I wish I could buy this one. Looks like I have to get the MelonAudio device.

[@Thee.Instigator]

Wish you showed how to setup on the editor also. New to this setup and I setup neural but can’t figure out how to use editor. 😂

Hi , could you please make a video for how to use mc6 with Logic Pro X? Thanks

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. We will look into that for the future but at the moment we have other videos ahead in the pipeline. However, this video we made about controlling Ableton will be useful as the concepts are the same and what you need to do is very similar - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp2Ti6eYnNt8Y7s

[@gjorgjimiladinoski6769]

GREAT VIDEO ? I would love to ask, can it be used with Fractal AX8 like midi controller ? Thanks.

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. Do you mean you want to use a Morningstar MIDI controller to control your AX8? Yes, you can. Our controllers work with all MIDI-capable devices regardless of brand or model.

[@gjorgjimiladinoski6769]

[@MrVolpe87]

Thank you for these helpful tutorials. Can you command simultaneously computer daw/apps and pedals from your pedalboard?(I have an hybrid set up) Luca

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. Yes, you can. MIDI gets sent simultaneously from all MIDI outputs and the USB port. Just set your DAW and pedals to different MIDI channels to differentiate them.

[@ProdigalReturn]

I do lives and make content on tiktok I'm currently using nueral.. what kind of pedal can I get to use to switch between my effects?

[@alvinmingguw]

Is there any gapless or spillover feature in Neural DSP plugin ? I dont want my sound cut off when changing preset

[@ogulcantuncer976]

As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem is changing presets in plugins. I mean changins are not smooth as processors or fx loop controlled setups. For example, If you change a delay and reverb added-preset to hi gain rhythm preset all ambience stops immediately in plugins :/ So i had to buy a processor for live using.

[@IGOR-RADO]

Hi, what kind of processor did you buy?

[@bkkfields]

If I wanted to control both wah and volume within the plugin using the same expression pedal, can this be easily switched on the fly? Is there something like an ability to tap a footswitch to maybe cycle the CC number of the expression pedal so it can at different times be wah vs. volume pedal? I'm trying to avoid having to get 2 expression pedals for this and assign them separate CC numbers. Thanks!

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Yes, you can do that. We made a video explaining that as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fVfomYraiil5Y

[@idelta_vengeance4768]

I’m in the process of getting my first midi foot controller and one of my friend told me about your brand. My only concern is would this product work with other plugins more specifically the stl tone Amphub if i want to lets says map pc1 thru pc8 for amp switching ? Thank you guys!

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. Our controllers work with any device or software that accepts MIDI. As long as the functions/parameters you want to control on your software can be controlled by MIDI, it will work well.

[@beermagott]

Which expression pedal can be used with this whammy plugin ..? in order to play it with your foot... ? ... thanks a lot.!!

[@MorningstarEngineering]

You can use any expression pedal that is compatible with our MIDI controllers.

How am I supposed to handle the silence when changing between presets? I need a couple of things ON too quickly and I can’t press many buttons. So, this is a problem

Yes, our controllers work well with any plugin that allows MIDI control!

[@tomasmazur3824]

Hi, what if I have an issue with Archetype Gojira that I have small delay between switching presets(half of second or less +-). So it's kinda bad for playing live performance with my brand new POD GO WIRELESS from LINE 6 and I'm using it as foot switcher. I can't find answer anywhere do you have any suggestions or fixes?

I’m still confused how you can use the same button to change presets that’s also used to turn on/off say the delay pedal 🫤

Same switch but in a different bank. The MC8 has 30 banks of programmable switches so you can program each one to do what you want.

For using the automation in Logic do you still need to configure both an audio track and a midi track? If yes, how to bypass the limitation on be forced to record the track with fx printed instead of a clean one? thank you, I am deciding which pedal to buy and this is essential coming from guitar rig and rig kontrol that was perfect and unfortunately no more supported by native and apple m1

Dear Sata...ummm I mean Morningstar, You made a very promising beginner tutorial, but then showed only half of the basic settings needed for it to work at all? Apart from the info which MIDI Channel should we use, you completely skipped the corresponding Morningstar Editor settings and commands? This is supposed to be a tutorial for someone who never used MIDI on NDSP before, right? My head hurts, and if I get your usual response "Please email us your questions." my head will still continue to hurt regardless. All I needed was to assign 6 buttons and a Toggle Page function. This should be done in 10 minutes max, but here I am sitting with it for 2 days. I really like your MIDI controller, but this is just a MUHAHA \m/

[@peichmen]

Too complicate... Use the MIDI learn option.

[@Fistful0fSteel]

Hmm doesnt really work at all. As good as Logic is, it does MIDI like crap...If at any time I get something to move with my expression pedal, all that hard work setting it up is gone the next day. All the parameters are still there, yet it just wont work any more. The MIDI Learn function does its thing in Logic....but nothing happens when it gets learned. Its dog shit
