Relay Switching - Control Non-MIDI devices with a MIDI Controller

[@DannyCruzCreations]

Amazing! BTW, I know you are busy working on the MC8 and MC4 Pros. But… we also need an MC2. Just saying. 😅

[@karikaroyt2689]

I know very little about MIDI. Would relay switching work for the Vox Valvenergy pedals? They have a mini TRS jack that connects other Valvenergy pedals to turn off the others when one is activated.

Just had my first session with programming the Omniport Relay Switching Interface...and with a DOD Rubberneck🤦‍♂ (it uses a weird 3-button switch). Trying to sort out what does what was like pulling teeth, due to the 3-button scenario. But the Relay Switch and the editor prevailed. I have: tap tempo, delay Mod ON/OFF, runaway Regeneration ON/OFF and the "Rubberneck Effect" under MIDI control. **NOTE to anyone else trying to set up the Rubberneck Delay with an MC MIDI controller, DO NOT try and use the Rubberneck effect and the runaway Regeneration at the same time....or just don't use any of the other functions while either of those effects are engaged. The controls for the Regen and Rubberneck will get swapped in the pedal....it's a headache.

I'm having problem with my Source Audio Collider. It has dual footswitch. One for delay and one for reverb. Problem is they're too close to each other. Can this switch pedal set it as only one of them to be turned on? Most switch I've tried make them both of them turned on because they're in one pedal.

[@FernandoDiaz-xg9ff]

You can look at the midi implementation for the SA Collider there is an option for a midi command to control that

[@justincrossmusic]

Would this work to engage stop and undo functions on a Boss RC-1? Just got the MC6 Pro and it is a game changer!

[@alrangelal]

Can you send a relay command and a MIDI message at the same time with the same footswitch? I want to control both my amp channel and my multi fx (create Clean/Crunch/Lead presets, which would imply changing amp channels + engaging/disengaging effects).

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Yes, for sure. You can send up to 32 messages with the MC6 PRO with a single switch. It does not matter if they are relay or MIDI commands.

[@dingbatjack1234]

Can this work sending tempo from my DAW? So bloody cool!

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Yes, you can send tempo from your DAW to the MC6 PRO to set its internal MIDI Clock BPM. You can then sync the relay clicks to match the MIDI Clock BPM, effectively syncing your non-MIDI devices BPM to your DAW.

@@MorningstarEngineering hello is it possible at all to recall a favourite preset from Strymon mk1 pedals (non-midi versions), like the El Capistan for example? I hope so using the MC6 pro!

[@dillontaylor8035]

Could this be use with something like the vertex boost pedal to control the volume pedal feature that’s over TRS?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

That TRS port on the Vertex Boost is for connecting an exp or volume pedal. Connecting it to a Relay Port on the MC6 PRO will not work.

[@dillontaylor8035]

@@MorningstarEngineering ​​⁠thanks for the reply! Is there a way to setup my expression that u use for my MC6 pro to work with that vertex boost?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

@@dillontaylor8035 If you do not need to use that expression pedal with the MC6 PRO, you can use it for the Vertex Boost instead. However, there is no way to connect from the MC6 PRO to the Boost as the Boost is not MIDI-capable.

[@dillontaylor8035]

@@MorningstarEngineering thank you! Have a nice night :) love my mc6 pro! Also love the online midi controller that’s in beta!

[@louiealo]

So I followed the same steps to activate the boost on my morning glory using the Mc8 and it doesn’t work

[@RaffaeleBoni]

Excuse me, can I use the relay switching for to change preset of a Boss IR-2?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Yes, you can use it with the CH SEL jack.

[@WorshipGuitarSound]

Can I use the TRS outputs to do the same thing?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Hi. That is not possible. Only the Relay Ports can do this.

[@dpmills]

Are there relay ports on the ML10x? Or is it only on the MC6 Pro (for now)?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

This is available only on the MC6 PRO. The ML10X is a loop switcher and is not designed for this purpose

[@vic-jm6yz]

Will this be coming to the MC6 mkii as well?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

This is only available on the MC6 PRO. It is a new hardware feature and cannot be implemented by software

[@Saesangism]

can mc6 receive midi clock and send the same tempo to the boss?

[@MorningstarEngineering]

Yes, it can. You can set the Relay Ports to send out tap tempo in sync with MIDI clock BPM, which can be received from an external device/software.

[@Saesangism]

@@MorningstarEngineering can the mc6 mkii + relay interface combo do the same thing?
