MeloAudio MIDI Commander Guitar Floor Multi-Effects Portable USB MIDI Foot Controller Foot Switches

La construcción es buena, completamente en metal, la pantalla quizá es un poco pequeña pero en fin, cumple su función, claro que habrá hardware y software con el que no sea directamente compatible, en el caso del software la solución es usar un Programa Host para los VST qué se quiera controlar, en mi caso es Gig Performer el cual te permite la programación MIDI.

I bought this to pair with STL/Ignite Amps AmpHub digital amp sim software suite (via USB) and my hardware guitar modeller - an old DigiTech GSP1101 (via MIDI cable)As with most MIDI devices, it took some tinkering - the settings on the device, the settings in the software, and the settings on the hardware can get pretty confusing as they all want to work slightly differently.However, there's no drivers or software to install, it's just plug and play and ready to go! The manual isn't great, but a key thing I noticed was that each time you click a button, it'll indicate what CC/PC number it's sending on the screen of the MIDI Commander, so you can map commands to the destination (amp, modeller, software), or the source (MIDI Commander). Even the Expression pedal indicates the CC number when opening/closing it.It took some tinkering, but it's working in the AmpHub sim, and the GSP1101 modeller. I also grabbed the branded expression pedal and it's running the wahs /volumes/etc flawlessly for both 👍I didn't have to actually program the MIDI Commander at all - just mapped the footswitch commands in the software/modeller and was good to go!Amazing little unit for the price; solidly built; anodized aluminium, good weight, solid inputs, and good clicky footswitchesThe Expression pedal is equally well madeHighly recommend for it's versatility, dual functionality (USB or MIDI cable), compatibility, quality, tiny footprint, and price. Seriously can't go wrong!

So heres my story.Im a guitar player that comes from the world of analog tube amps and the like. After touring and giging for a while i decided to go into the world of digital amps because of reliability and ease of use. So i purchased a Bias mini head and a line 6 m5 effects processor. Simple rig. Nothing crazy.Then i was introduced into the world of Midi controllers. Im a minimalist and i like to have one wire going from my amp to the pedal board, which wasnt really an option at first until i stumbled upon the Meloaudio Midi Commander. Still new to the world of Midi, i couldnt find much info on it online but i pulled the trigger anyway.This midi board is ABSOLUTELY the easiest thing to use. I absolutely love that (cause of my midi noob self). The size is perfect, functionality is simple, its robust, it just works as it should.It comes preloaded with different presets for different amp interfaces and as soon as i switched it to Bias, it worked with my amp flawlessly.I currently use it to control both my Bias amp and the Line 6 M5 at the same time. And still only one cable from my amp to the pedal. BECAUSE BATTERIES!!!! Its absolutely genius. And the expression pedal input works perfect to the Line 6 M5, it took a little fiddling but it works perfect.I have ZERO complaint about this pedal and its abilities. After touring for a few weeks with it, jumping on it, spilling beer on it (whoops), it has not let me down. Always ready to rock!

Hey fellow musos! As the universe of audio creation & production evolves, from time to time, an almost perfect product comes around to fill a need one has, and this has been my experience with the Soleman. To get to the point, I use it for 2 distinct purposes, and so far in the month that I have been using it, it has functioned flawlessly and has filled a void in my studio and my live rig, which I will now get to. I will assume if you're reading this, I'm not gonna have to explain what it can do, but I will tell y'all what I do. Live, I use the Soleman linked via a MIDI cable (in this mode, you require 2 x AAA battery, or a trick I learned, plug the USB cable into a charger, and no battery needed) to the Source Audio Neuro Hub, a dedicated "brain" that controls up to 5 Source pedals, and saves all the settings of all the pedals into "scenes", so 128 presets, that are all simultaneously saved across all pedals, so some very interesting sound can be achieved. I won't go into this aspect any further, other than to say, the Soleman was remarkably easy (by MIDI standards) to hook up - a preset has 128 empty patches that can be stored and accessed, as well as 2 expression pedals for say, volume and filter frequency, or whatever parameter you assign. My second use is straight USB into my MacBook to control Logic Pro. The buttons can be used to change patches within Logic, tap tempo, record start and stop, punches, anything that can be triggered via MIDI. With the current update of Logic, there are more new opportunities to utilize a device like this - just having 10 buttons and 2 expression pedals can light up your workflow in Logic as it frees ones hands. I really found the device liberating, both live and in the studio, and would buy it again at a higher price, that is how good it is, how toughly built it is, and how simple and elegant this perfect little device is. It surpassed my expectations, and forced me out of my comfort zone with some of the new features in Logic that are very cool and useful - one can use Logic as a front end for an excellent live show incorporating live loops, and a device like the Soleman gives you the control. Solid piece of kit, tough to say anything negative. Maybe it could be a bit lighter, but then it would slide around. Excellent.

I have been trying to find the right combination of gear to work with iOS Positive Grid software for quite some time now. I saw a review for this switch and was hooked. I decided I was going to go all in and get the compatible interface and expression pedal too. So, I purchased:MidiCommanderMeloAudio TS Mini USB interfaceMeloAudio expression pedalStraight out of the boxes... I plugged it all in and it all just worked. It works flawlessly with JamUp Pro and BiasFX. The sound is great and there is zero latency switching between presets.In short, this gear is fantastic. Do yourself a favor if you want a portable easy to set up and manage rig. So easy to use and incredibly well made with solid metal materials. This gear is a steal for the price!
