Teardown Tuesday - Morningstar Relay Interface

This time we'll be looking at the Morningstar Relay Interface. How does it work? Can it be used with other devices?
If you're interested in electronics, guitar pedal circuits, or just want to learn more about music gear - join us for this series of investigations into popular devices.
If you missed last week, we looked at the internals of the Strymon Conduit MIDI interface. You can watch the replay on our KZbin channel.

Wow thank you so much for this vídeo. I am in doubt, between get a relay to change the channels in my amp or mod the amp with midi(put midi into the amp). Some amps that I have have a few(10) channels/presets that I change with midi. My question is ; How many diferent channels/presets can I change with a relay? Is it worth to change the amp? Instead of getting a especific relay where I can use also in future amps ???? Thank you for your time and kindness

Hi how are you? just a question, do you know if it can work with any device? beside Morningstar midi devices. Thanks a lot!

Hi Juan, The Morningstar relay interface is designed to only work with Morningstar controllers. We opened it up and reverse-engineered the switching and added a "Relay Interface" mode to our Flexiports on our BRIDGE6 and BRIDGE4 MIDI controllers, so now you can use it with our controller too. For a device just like this, but a but smaller, and also MIDI controllable (by anything, including USB MIDI) we recently released the CLiCK, which you can find at piratemidi.com - it's also got some really awesome extra features and still a bit smaller than the Morningstar interface. Let me know if you have any questions! Cheers, Simon
