I’m struggling to understand the best approach to program BPMs on my MC6pro, save/recall them, and then be able to quickly update those saved presets on the device itself. I’m a Sunday morning guy, I need to have song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. sending MIDI Clock at various saved BPMs. Then I need to bend down and quickly update/replace one of these saved BPMs if needed. Seems simple on the surface… but after watching all the videos, reading the manual and various comments I’m still struggling to program the MC6pro with this functionality. How are you all doing it? Banks, Pages, Presets, Upon Entering Banks, show tap menu, etc. - I’m just kinda drowning. What is working for you and what’s your programming layout? Hopefully I’m just missing something simple and obvious, it feels like I must be. Thanks Everyone!
The tap menu is beautiful and works great. How I bring it up and where it saves a BPM is the challenge. It’s so close to the functionality I’m looking for. For instance:
My goal would be:
- one switch press engages the midi clock at the saved BPM.
- a long press, or double tap, could then show the tap menu of that saved BPM for adjustability and re-saving.
This would eliminate the need for any stand-alone external midi clock pedal and simplify programming for lots of users. I don’t think this is currently possible, but it seems so close and obvious that perhaps I’m missing something? Otherwise, I must choose between using a computer to program my BPMs every week, or bringing up the tap menu between every song, and pressing three buttons, just to launch a new BPM. Am I missing something? Or could this feature be requested?
Hey Greg,
I was literally thinking about doing this today. My plan was to have a long press/double tap go to another bank where I would have created my buttons for each tempo it would work like this.
Finish song 1 -
long press ft switch (bank jump) > press song 2 (engage new bpm + return to home bank).
HOWEVER
I was looking on the morningstar YouTube channel and saw this video about scroll messages. You can send up to 16 messages and just scroll through the different bpms for each song every time you press it, the next songs bpm would load!
Let me know if this works for you and I will give it a try!
Just to note I don’t use a song by song approach for sounds, I would just like a song by song approach for my noms.
Thanks for this reply last year. To give you an update, I’ve tried everything. If you want to program your bpms from the the editor on your computer, there are a million great ways to set this up. The tap menu on the pedal is also lovely, but I CANNOT find a way to save any kind of preset from that beautiful tap menu. It seems so obvious that we should be able to quickly program some preset BPMs from that gorgeous tap menu, but I cannot find a way to do it. So I guess we’re stuck with other options like the Selah Quartz or Disaster Area SmartClocks in order to achieve this. If anyone from Morningstar is listening, this would change everything about your pedals for me… it’s the one piece of functionality that I desire more than almost anything else.
Agreed. We need to be able to change set tempos without having the editor up. This one missing feature forces me to bring a computer everywhere.
You should post a new ‘feature request’ in ‘bug reports and feature requests’.
Got a little traction over on this thread. Saving Midi Clock to Bank?
