Re: midimate again, cc values

["Kris Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

This MIDI controller thing for looping units is madness. I've been waiting
in the background for someone to find the jackpot, so I too can leave that
big ol' Behringer home. I don't want to switch back to my EDP controller, 
as
small as it is, because I loose some cool features.

It seems that all the small and petite controllers don't send the type of
messages we need. I just need a controller like my ADA MC-1 that will send
notes...that's all...just a minor, harmless request. :)

How about the RFX MP128 Midibuddy Midi controller?

The Mesa Boogie Abbacuss?

The Roland GFC50? (cute little thing)

What about paying someone to make a custom pedel? What that be outragious?

As I recall, the MIDI Mate won't do that.  It'll send program changes,
or you can put it into "controller" mode, where the bottom five
buttons send program changes, and the top five buttons can send one CC
message.  It's really intended to control rack-style guitar set-ups,
with the CC buttons turning individual effects (chorus, delay, etc.)
on or off within a given preset.
