The Morningstar Engineering MC3 is a fully featured MIDI controller that fits on even the smallest of pedalboards. While size has been drastically reduced, no compromises were made in its design. In addition to its 5-pin MIDI output, the MC3 boasts four 3.5mm (1/8 inch) TRS MIDI outputs, the first ever on a dedicated MIDI controller.
The decision to use 3.5mm jacks has allowed the MC3 to have 4 independent TRS MIDI outputs despite its tiny form factor. 3.5mm MIDI outputs let you connect directly to devices with 3.5mm MIDI input and devices with 1/4 inch TRS MIDI inputs, with just a simple 3.5mm to 1/4 inch headphone adaptor. With 3 switches and the ability to toggle between 2 pages per bank, you have quick access to 6 fully programmable presets in each of the 30 banks.
Like all Morningstar MIDI controllers, the MC3 can control any device that accepts MIDI. The MC3 is fully programmable and capable of sending up to 16 different MIDI messages per switch. MIDI messages can be sent simultaneously, or triggered separately by performing different actions. This gives you precise and customizable control with just one switch. Within its compact chassis, the MC3 offers complete features, meeting the needs of the most demanding musician even when space is a premium.
Each switch can send up to 16 different MIDI messages through 16 different MIDI channels. Choose from a wide range of useful MIDI message types including PC, CC, Note on/off, SysEx, MIDI Clock (preset or tap), Preset Scroll, Bank Up/Down, Toggle Page and more.
Wanted a small midi controller to call up presets on 4 different pedals—Eventide H90, Eventide Rose, Strymon Cloudburst and Meris Enzo—but had a bad experience in the past with getting midi set up so wasn’t expecting much. Bought the Morningstar because of great reviews and video. Still seemed a bit overwhelming but took the plunge and figured I might get it set up within a week or two. Within maybe 2 hours of first getting this thing I had it all hooked up, every single pedal interacted with it right away, and I made my first bank of presets. I removed the back to turn off ring power for one of the TRS outputs, which was no problem. The Morningstar editor made it simple to use, and already has detailed CC info for all of my pedals as well. Also no problem at all scrolling through banks using the two-button method—a normal straight foot gets it done. It’s so easy to program and use it’s actually inspiring. I’m already thinking of what to try to do with it next.
