PAINTAUDIO MIDI Captain Nano 4/Mini 1,8 m Controller multi-effect toetsenborden synthesizer USB-MIDI muzieksoftware Bias ondersteunt alle PC/CC/Note commandanten (MIDI Captain Mini 6)

This is an excellent little unit. It is very well made with a metal casing. It can run off batteries, USB or from a normal pedalboard power supply. bought it to control some feature on my Quad Cortex and it works great.Some reviewers comment on it being difficult to program but I didn't find that to be the case. To configure it you have to connect it to a computer via the supplied USB cable and turn it on whilst holding the top left button. The device will the an appear as an external drive on your computer. Each bank (or page) on the midi contoller has an associated text file called PageX.txt e.g. the first bank has a file called PAGE0.TXT, the 2nd bank PAGE1.TXT etc. To assign midi commands to the buttons you just edit the commands in the PAGEX.TXT. There are loads of examples and comments already in the txt files and the manual is very thorough. I had the Midi Captain controlling functions on my QC within 15 minutes. It took me quite a bit longer to finalise what I wanted as I started to appreciate all the possibilities though.

This is a great product and a blessing for us musicians who need power midi control aka programmable control. This unit is great for compact multieffect pedals (which are midi capable) with fewer built in footswitches - such as the Boss GT-1000 Core or HX Stomp. I have succesfully used the Midi captain Mini 6 with both of these units and it works wonderfully wellThe Supermode gives a lot of midi programming control in your hands and it is very easy to program it - via a text editor. The midi programming manual that you can grab from the midi captain website is well laid out and explains all the instructions well.Threre are a number of different ways you can use this unit e.g. you can setup a very simple script to send CC#s 1 thru 6 on and off via the 6 switches. But you can get more advanced than that and even send multipe CCs for each switch press or for subsequent key presses. e.g. you can program switch 4 (bottom left) to send CC1 -127, CC2 - 127 and CC3- 0 values. each key can be programmed individually so you can even program the right 2 or left 2 switches to move presets up and down. The possibilities are endless.Some of the strengths of this unit compared to others in the market (e.g. morningstar) and also a few weaknesses / areas for improvement:Strengths:- Compact size for a pedal board. 6 switches are plenty. you probably dont need the bigger one- easy to program and create complex/advanced midi sends via a simple text editor- programmable LED colors - you can program a different color for each keystroke or a simple on/offits really helpful to have the status LEDs so that you can quickly confirm if a certain effect is on or off. Morningstar does not have this- Good build quality- runs off a standard 9V pedal power supply or batteriesareas for improvement:- introduces signal noise if daisy chaining the power with other pedals. You really need to give this one its own supply cable- On initial startup all LEDs are off - so the LEDs may not correspond to the actual state of effects in your Multi effects pedal. I dont see a way to implement this feature and I dont think any other external midi pedal does that either. This is a feature that is only feasible on built in footswitches ont he units itself.In summary a great programmable Midi controller which gives you a great amount of customizability and programming flexibility in your hands at a good price.

Excelente construcción y fácil de llebar. Buen complemento para otras pedaleras o para tu laptop

Potente e versatile, con un minimo di programmazione si riesce a sfruttarne a pieno le potenzialità e le funzionalità messe a disposizione: gestione dei pulsanti, dello schermo, dei led dei pulsanti... stupendo, veramente un grande prodotto. Sottolineo che è necessario avere un po' di dimestichezza con la programmazione molto molto semplificata (bastano pochi comandi per ottenere il messaggio midi desiderato) e che è anche necessario conoscere in che modo il proprio strumento gestisce i messaggi midi e la propria memoria.

It works and does its job as long as you aren't scared of some simple coding. A little annoying to set up, but once you get it figured out, it's super powerful controller.
