man I've been trying to get my midi baby to do basically ALL that you have in here and I haven't been able to wrap my head around this-namely the tempo clock and the scroll up/down presets. thank yooooou
@@crxshdxmmy sorry, I wasn't clear. It works, watching your recent videos has helped me gain clarity with how to use the midi codes and what not to get it programmed how I wanted it to be, but couldn't due to not wrapping my head around everything. Basically, these vids are helpful, make more! 😁
DKSouthpaw Awesome. Glad to hear it. My next video is going to be 3 MIDI controllers connected to the Stomp. Baby for Tap Tempo & Tuner DMC Micro for Presets, Modes & FS4/5 Baby3 for Looper Controls Should be fun.
None of the documentation addresses it directly. And nor does this video. But I've finally been able to understand what's meant by "batch" and "action" from this video.
Hey there. Great explanation of this unit. I can't figure something out. I need to send a CC to a digital mixer to toggle on and off a mute group. The Midi Baby 3 is talking to the mixer and reaching the proper destination but it's not toggling. If the mute group is not activated and I hit the button it mutes the group which is perfect. What's not working is if I hit the Midi Baby 3 button again it's not unmuting the mute group. I need it to switch back and forth between on and off every time I hit the button. Anything you can tell me would be great. I'm really close- I'm just missing a setting.
Very helpful video! Quick question: Can I assign one of the holds to count up by ten to get to preset 10, 20, etc, really quick? For example If I had the left and right set up to toggle down and up, could I assign the holds to go up and by ten so if I am in preset 2 I can hold toggle to preset 20? Stuff like that? Was thinking about using this with a Red Panda Raster 2
Wow! I just got the MIDI Baby 3 and Im glad I found your vid! Tried to copy settings in editor from video. Is it possible to get the sysex files from you? I would like to use another 2 button footswitch for stomp 4 and 5 and add expression pedal but keep the other settings way you have setup. I been playing forever but Im struggling with this midi stuff... Thanks
Great informational video, thanks I wonder if the MIDI Baby3 can be used as a MIDI foot controller within iOS apps like AUM and it's many Audio Units (AUv3 plugins) available, looks like this was designed for Guitar gear, but seems like can manage General MIDI controls, do you know if MIDI Baby3 can be used within this AUM context? Any examples/links to check? I have not found many references to this device, I send a question in their webpage a few days back, not sure if they check the messages Any way, thanks in advance
Hey great video! This is really helpful. Do you know if you're able to have different LED colors depending on if it's a press, hold, or long hold? And it looks like theres a default LED color thats set?
Hi, excellent video. I m trying to decide which is best control for my walrus mako d1, basically i want to assign each one the presets to each one of the buttons. What is the best option, can i do it with this one ? Thanks a lot
I am trying to set up a Midi Baby 3 to control presets with a Strymon El Capistan V2, but cannot get it to work right. I want to set up 3 different presets on the Strymon but haven't figured out how to do it. Help!
Hi. Can you help me? Center long hold not working (tuner not showing) Center Tap: Tap Tempo - works Center Hold: Mode Toggle - works Center Long Hold: Tuner - not working Many thanks!
I just got the Midi Baby 3 for use with the HX Stomp. You say in the video that you can send the files to control the Stomp. i plan to use it only to program change up or down, and for tap tempo. i also have a Source Audio Collider that i would like to program change as well. Enabling me to call up individual delay & reverb settings of the Collider for each Stomp preset. Can you please send the Stomp files, and advise if midi will work simultaneously with both devices? Thanks
Hello. Not sure if you still see these comments. However, I just got a midi baby 3 and for some reason the midi clock isn't working. I downloaded your template and loaded it in, but the midi clock doesn't seem to work. The center light blinks, but when I tap the button it doesn't change how often the light blinks. It also doesn't change the tempo on my HX Stomp. If I set it up with midid cc changes for tap tempo, it works fine but there is no blinking light. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello, I have a problem, the LEDs of my midi Baby 3 do not all work, I have activated the middle footswitch in tap tempo and tuner mode, the led works for the tap tempo in white but not for the tuner after activating it which should be green. The left footswitch should be purple and I put it in preset mode except that the led does not activate but sends it working, the right footswitch is used as preset mounted by long press and short press in BOOST for solos, the boost should be red but the led does not hold it activates but does not stay so for solos I do not really know when the boost is activated and it bothers me, if you can help me this would be awesome!
Hello there! I assume you can use two of the Midi Baby 3 buttons to bank up and down between patches and another button to access the tuner on the Stomp? This would be perfect for me! Thanks in advance :)
Need to toggle channel 4 mute on left switch and efx return on right footswitch for 2 rack mounted 12 channel behringers. Midi bany 3. Any help would be app appreciated
Considering this to cycle through snapshots on a Helix floor. Since you can't see a CC number or channel number, do you match the Helix snapshot LED color to match the Midi Baby LED color? Otherwise seems like it would difficult to know where you were without a display.
I’m using MB3 with my h9. I want to scroll through presets with the pedal off. As of now the pedal activates every preset while scrolling. Any thoughts
Tried writing to the MB3 with your file, but seems not to take. I notice you use editor version 0.35.2, Disaster Area's editor is now version 1.3.4 Would your file still work if I try to simply download and write it to the MB3?
I assume I already know the answer to this question but I also know what happens when you assume. So you can only control one device with the midi baby 3 correct? I only saw one choice for midi ch
Actually, you can send MIDI to multiple pedals. For instance, you can send program changes and MIDI clock... you just have to set up the correct MIDI through options and whatnot.
Gear Confessions. Sending midi clock is so crucial but I was trying to bypass another pedal as well as my hx stomp. I can probably just get by with the global though. Thanks a lot for your response
Great videos! Question.... I just bought the midi baby 3 and have the HX stomp. I’m using foot switches left and center to turn on and off effects. Is there a way that for effect off, the LED could be off instead of displaying a color for the off position? Also, I think I’m having a glitch, if I engage 2 of the switches at the same time, all 3 colors will light up and the pedal will go down, then a button on my stomp engages. I then have to double tap a switch to disengage it. Thanks!
I'm not sure about the glitch, but you can achieve off/on state with red/green LEDs by sending the same command, one at a time, and telling the LED to follow the correct off state in the global settings. Does this make sense?
@@jonathansembrat3142 Might just be easier for me to send you my control file for the pedal, so you can see it. Shoot me an email through my website: gearconfessions.com
Trying to configure the settings similarly to yours. When trying to send batch messages with a CC Toggle, the "Send Single Value" has been switching to count and send every time I try to type in the Value... has this ever occurred for you?
Yes, i know what you're talking about. This happens to be all the time. It could be a bug in the field input? Either way, the way around this is to do the following: Start typing your first number in the 'Value' field. You'll see it change from 'Send Single Value' to 'Count & Send'. At this point you HAVE TO hit the same number on the keyboard again. This will revert it back to 'Send Single Value' with the correct values in the field. You'll have to repeat this for every character entry. If you type in another value other than what you did or the space key it registers it fine. I've been meaning to bring this to Disaster Area Designs attention but I've been so busy.
I just sent them the issue with steps to replicate. I figured I was already explaining the workaround so why not! Ill keep you posted on what they say! I may even put up a video on my channel once they resolve it. Either way, hope my work around helps you out.
Hi. Looking at getting a baby 3. The thing that kind of “concerns” me, is the sending of the hold function while you’re waiting to send the long hold command. As I understand it, this wasn’t the case in the original midi baby. Does the baby 3 not have the same settings to change when the command is sent (to send on release, rather than press, for instance)?
It's true of both. To send the 'Long Hold' you must first send the 'Hold' ... that's just MIDI. It's not ideal, but it's manageable for me. As you saw in this video, I've developed a pretty basic workaround in the one instance I'm using a Long Hold, but I can see the potential for how it could be more cumbersome.
@@crxshdxmmy Yeah. I mean it's kinda a shame, unless you're using the switch for the same "style" of function (so hold might be a boost, while long hold might be a "more boost", or something). Still a great bit of kit, don't get me wrong - and leagues ahead of the 2 button footswitch I'm using currently!
@@chrisholmes_90 Yeah, it's something you definitely have to work around if you want to get 3 separate controls on every switch... but at least for my purposes, two is usually fine. Especially on a box this small.
Hi. today I received my MIDI baby 3, could you send me the file with the settings that you have shown in the video. Sorry for my English, I hope you understand. Cheers from Argentina
Thanks!!!! - been trying for two days to figure out how to program for HX Stomp. First thing I've seen that actually worked for my use case.
man I've been trying to get my midi baby to do basically ALL that you have in here and I haven't been able to wrap my head around this-namely the tempo clock and the scroll up/down presets.
thank yooooou
To clarify, you have the 1-switch Baby? If so, what device are you trying to control with it?
@@crxshdxmmy yup, I've got 1-switch with a 2-footswitch in the TRS input, that's all going into an HX Stomp
@@dksouthpawatx So, Baby is connected via MIDI cable and you've got a 2-button switch in the Multijack via TRS?
What is/isn't working?

Amigo cómo estás 😎🫶🔥🎸voy a controlar un REVELATION JET y no he podido configurarlo, lo necesito solo para cambiar de PRESETS
Nice pedal and nice review!
So, this does everything the DMC 3XL gen3 does in a smaller sized platform?
Sort of. It doesn't really do banking like the DMC does, so it's probably better to think of it as an expanded UTIL mode pedal.

Many midi controllers allow for 2 button combos, e.g., left + center to change preset. Is that possible with midi baby 3? if so, how?
