Currently, the learning curve when entering the MIDI controllers world is unnecessarily way too steep. Let’s make that first step one idea more user friendly!
I hope my post here will help someone, so they should not have to suffer the same head scratching and time wasting newcomer experience.
Here I am sharing my personal Morningstar MC6 MKII MIDI settings, files and screenshots.
You don’t have to use the same settings as mine, but my settings could be a good starting point.
This is how my current MIDI setup looks like:
1 Mission Engeneering SP25L-PRO Aero
2 Morningstar MC6 MKII
3 Bugera FSB102A
Unfortunately, my model Mission pedal is using a latching toe down switch (which apparently breaks the action logic in the MC because a latching switch only has a Press action) so I am using external Bugera pedal to perform a toe down actions in my plugins, and also to Toggle the Morningstar pages.
