Thank you Scott for explaining this in such a clear, concise and useful way! I've never been able to understand the videos made by the manufacturer but you've helped me understand it fully and more clearly. Thank you!
Man, I can't believe how much knowledge you continue to gain and then explain to someone like me... and if I don't understand you have a video getting right down to the basics of what and why. I love it! Thanks man. I also love Fat burger but Five guys has the best burgers.
Bought the standard a couple of months ago and love it. I use it plugged into my computer to control my plugin based rig in MainStage and it works great. Does exactly what I need it to do, I programmed to have the bottom row to be PC changes to change the presets within MainStage, easy as just setting each preset to receive the bank change 1, 2, 3, 4... respectively and just works. The top row I have set to toggle fx within the presets in real time. It's as simple as adding a virtual button to the MainStage layout, hit it, press assign, and hit it in the controller. Then program the function you want it to do when it is pressed. The 4th button of the top row I have it set to a master tap tempo for all my delays. That uses a MIDI Note, again, assign to the virtual button, asking the function of the virtual button to the master tap tempo of the project. Within the delay plugins, the time you set it to Sync so it syncs up with the master tempo of the project... and it's done... it just works great for me this way. Then to change the color of each button within the computer editor, you are going to need to google the Hexadecimal color that corresponds to the RGB color you want it to be, there's a box that takes that 6 digit code and it's good to go.
I find the color assigned only changes while the button is pressed. When its released it goes back to the default color of the preset you used and I cant figure out a way to change those.....
@@victorangelo6514 That's odd, you need to setup the color as a hexadecimal code, so look up the color and RGB tone you want like Hexadecimal code Purple and you should get a 6 digit code that you can punch into the text edit editor for the button menu. Why it goes back? I have no idea.. it should stay only that color.
Glad the scammers didn’t keep you down. Always love your content. I’ve learned a ton, most recently that Five Guys has the best burgers. Your knowledge surpasses the realm of music tech and has extended to the world of fast food. I’m here for it.
Nice to see that the midi controller segment is evolving. This is a pretty cool little device. This allows med to put my HX Stomp on a stand to make adjustments without bending down, and leave the Midi Captain in the floor using the wireless option. A great and flexible solution., Great video .. Keep up the good work Scott !!! Kind regards Nils
Yo Scott, I've finally decided to subscribe cause every time I'm looking for answers on audio gear I run into your videos. Love the perspective you offer! Keep up the good work. Also, "Five guys has the best burgers" is a lie I never thought I'd be forced to utter... excuse me while I wash my mouth or with soap and grab a Whataburger. 😂😂😂
I got one of these through your link, and love it! I did my first gig with the Line 6 HX Stomp and I am a digital convert. Five Guys Have the Best Burgers
nice job Scott.. thanks! I got this MIDI Captain a few months ago and I was going to use it in conjunction with another MIDI foot controller to help with running Logic for backing track playbacks along with controlling some vocal FX within X32.. but the need for this never materialized so since then it's gathered dust.. until today when I saw your tutorial video.. this little thing is a beast.. wow! I wouldn't doubt it could handle all the duties I had in mind.
I've been eyeing a MIDI foot switch so thank you for taking the time to review this awesome piece of hardware. Four Guys used to have the best burgers, but then they were 1-up'd and now Five Guys has the best burgers.
I bought a midi captain a little while ago and figured out how to program the bottom row of buttons to select presets on my hxstomp xl and the top row selects snapshots.
Hi Scott, I bought the Midi Captain Standard a couple months ago. Wilson suggested that since I already have the CME stuff. Anyway in comunicating back and forth with Wilson I suggested he contact you. I may not have been the only one. I am glaad to see he did. When I recieved it and did some programming I fell in love with this unit. I use it with batteries and the WIDI Jack to remotely control my HX Stomp. When I recieved it and did some programming I fell in love with this unit. Five guys has the best burgers, oh wait I already have one...
Oh nice! Well thank you for sending him my way! Yeah, that’s who messaged me about demoing this. I really appreciate you sending him my way. Thanks a bunch 🤘🤘
Hey Scott - Great review of the Midi Captain. The flow is smooth and to the point. I was on the prowl for an inexpensive controller for Neural DSP plugin control and ended up buying a m-vave 4 button blue tooth unit. It is programable but with limited flexibility. I use MTP to jazz it up a lot. It was cheap but after watching your review of the Midi Captain I'm fairly certain that I'll be ordering one soon. There's no such thing as too many midi foot controllers. I'm old, retired and don't play out anymore but the Midi Captain could replace the FCB-1010 when it comes to portability and it appears to offer extensive programability in Geek mode. You've got a great channel and your presentation style indicates your devotion to the genre. Good stuff man.....
Lol. Just love the timing of this video. Been searching for a foot controller for playback. Great review!! ❤. And of course "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers"
Damn I love your channel. Your application of the extra bells and whistles of modern guitar equipment is next level!!!! Five guys has the best burgers.
This is awesome! And considering I was planning to stop by Five Guys on my way to trivia at the pub tonight, serendipitous! Five Guys Has The Best Burgers, and I'm very much looking forward to having one tonight!
Another excellent video Scott, thanks for the share!! Glad you gave this piece of a gear a review... I've been curious since initially seeing it, and this review was a perfect practical breakdown of the unit, it's features and use cases...super helpful!! This is exactly what I was hoping to understand about what to expect from this. Also, I'm thrilled to know that you too agree that "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers"!!! Hands down, no contest... it's all about the jalapenos, onions and A1 combination!
Oh thank you sooo much for this clip . I have been searching the Net for a foot control device so I can program to trigger the different drum fill-in function of my keyboard . Thanx to you , finally I could do this on stage .Now I need to get this because Five Guys has the best burgers . Have a great day .🙂
Thanks for sharing all the knowledge you have with us! It's so cool being able to get more info (and good info) on gear. You're awesome and your videos are shot so well! "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers" is the truest statement I've ever heard and said. I love putting their cajon fries on my burger. They just do it so well!
This seems like an awesome, fully functional, cheaper alternative to the morningstar mc8. I wish I knew about this paint audio pedal before buying the hotone ampero controller as my cheaper alternative 😂 This pedal is only $50 more than that, with way more options! Bing a west coaster at heart, my allegiance lies with In N Out, but this one time I will admit that Five Guys has the best burgers 😀 Great video as always Scott!
Another cool piece of equipment... and easy to use..... Great video. "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers" and they really do.... The Fries are the best to. Thanks again.....
Hey Scott, I have this unit and I thought I would share a tip about the expression pedal and MIDI. My expression pedal Hotone Ampero Press does not move smooth from 0 to 127 on the display and this is because it is the wrong polarity. You cannot select the polarity on this device. The Paint Audio Expression Pedal has 2 output jacks for TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) and RTS (Ring Tip Sleeve). I solved the issue by making a TRS crossover cable - TRS to RTS and the expression pedal is now smooth. I saw in the video that the expression pedal you used does the same thing
BTW, very impressive. I had a MeloAudio one, and without your video I would think the MIDI Captain is just a spin-off because MeloAudio apparently wanted to sell a batch of gear without adding any kind of support or updates and their product end up with a half-baked solution with cool things but, very very very limited
I’ve got the Meloaudio one too and without snapshot mode it’s nearly useless. There’s a firmware for it supposedly but I can’t find it anywhere else and their support page is down.
I just found out about this pedal and missed the giveaway :( But this pedal looks perfect for what I need: a fully programable MIDI footcontroller that is not too expensive like the Morningstar units, this is on the bracket of the FCB1010 that I currently have and want to change because is too big heavy and hard to program, this also works as it should unlike the very limited units by Meloaudio, the only issue is that they don't have distributors in Europe, I live in Spain and not even Amazon Europe sell this, neither Thomann, I found some resellers on Aliexpress but I'm wondering if they're legit, Also, the Time Engine would be great if it can sync to MIDI clock
Pretty cool device. Thanks for the great review, Scott. I re-watched your WIDI Master video a couple of days ago. I was considering getting 2 sets of them for connecting my Ampero Control to my XR18. For a just a little more, I could get this device and a MIDI Mate. The Ampero Control is a nicely featured, inexpensive, expandable foot switch, but its programming app is not so great. I really like that the MIDI Captain can be programmed without an app. Perhaps I might win it! So, "Five guys has the best burgers"!
Another great, informative video about the gear, and thank you for the food suggestion. I did not know “Five Guys Has The Best Burgers” but will try one.
Hi Scott, You continue to amaze me with your energy, knowledge and generosity in sharing all that you know and discover. Coeur d' Alene has Hudson Burgers which has been on Sherman St for over 100 years. Great Burgers as it even put a McDonald's out of business in less than a year that started up just down the street. However I would like to try your suggestion to see if "Five Guys has the best burgers".
Five Guys has the best burgers... Thanks Scott, I followed your advice on wireless guitar systems and I'm really happy with the results. Thanks for all your great advice
Ive been using the MeloAudio Midi Commander for years. And this is literally exactly that but so much better. I wish this existed when I bought mine. "Also, Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
I sold mine after I found out the MeloAudio (Harley Benton has the same Midi Commander) couldn't change CC values (aside from 0 or 127) or even send multiple commands. This MIDI Captain is what I had hoped it would be. If this thing gets available where I live I'm very interested in getting one.
@@Htbaa yeah. There have definitely been some things that I wished it would do. And same, this looks exactly like what I thought the commander would be.
Great video Scott, super helpful. I have this unit and you helped me figure out the color configuration. Thanks! I am using it with BIAX FX 2 and having some challenges in keeping the consistency of the led lights when I change from one PC to another. If my CC Pedal light is on for PC A when I change to PC B it carry over the light on status which sometimes can be inconsistent with the actual value on that CC Pedal light. Hope that makes sense LOL.
can i connect it with just 1 USB-cable to my iPad for switching Loopy Pro and USB-Power at the same time? And the 10 Presets meaning you have 10 times 8 buttons + up and down? thank you !
Looks like a good unit, great video. I hope more companies continue making food pedals and the competition helps to drive the price lower. I have an Art X-15 Ultra Foot but due to it's size and complexity setting it up, it mostly collects dust, but this foot pedal solves at least one of those issues. I also agree: "Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
Thanks so much for everything I learned from you. You explain everything perfectly. This controller is cool too, love it 🤩 Five guys has the best burgers.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking to get a Morningstar MC8, but they’ve been sold out for some time. This looks like a great alternative that has more switches for less $, and I don’t need the features the MC8 has that this one doesn’t. Five Guys Has The Best Burgers!
This thing is pretty amazing! I love that you don't have to connect it to a computer to program it. It's interesting that it talks to the wireless on 2.4 instead of Bluetooth. The CME Widijack fixes that. Thanks for another great review. Just the other day I was mentioning to my wife we've had a Five Guys here for years and we've never checked it out. Damn it Scotty, I will have to tell her you think Five Guys has the best burgers. Were you listening in on our conversation? 😂
😂😂 and yeah that’s definitely an interesting choice for sure, but it’s pretty cool you can use multiple ones. I wouldn’t use too many of them at once though. Thanks for commenting!
Hey Scott! Would you please consider making a video about programming the Midi Captain in Super Mode? I'm especially wanting to learn how to send different CC commands when single press, double press, and long pressing a single button/key. I'm wanting to use this with Loopy Pro. Thanks!
Got one of these pedals and glad that you went through the all the options on it so I a beginner at midi can understand what I have. Encouraging our second guitar player to get one also so "Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
Thanx for an outstanding review as usual. My current controller is the Blackstar live logic but this one really seems superior. "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers"
Five guys has the best burgers, they really do. I've been looking to get my board setup with a midi controller and this might just be the one, as I really like how this one looks. I've been tap dancing and I'd like to simplify that part. I'd be using it with the gt-1000core and a sy-200 starting out, down the road I'd to add vocal effects switching to it.
I'm a long time All Access User and been working with backing tracks for 15 Years now. I've never really looked into alternatives to the All Access, because first of all I have it, and second I didn't really think many other devices would be capable enough. Also the price point being an issue. Never change a running system. However this thing actually looks awesome and I wouldn't mind reducing the footprint of the AllAccess ;-) Five Guys Has The Best Burgers
Another great, informative video, Scott. Looks like a great piece of gear. I use an HX Stomp too, so the Midi Captain would be fantastic. As a vegan, it pains me to say, "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers."
Really appreciate you explaining geek mode. Didnt realise I had to program release of buttons as well as press. Anyway.....got that working. My issue is scrolling through presets or memories of my device. I would like to assign a pair of buttons to do this. I could in 'preset' mode where there is facility to assign PC commands to 'up' or 'down'. In geek mode, no such command either than up/dwn to scroll through pages. Do you know if there is a work around? Thanks!
Thanks for that in depth tut bro. I see that the midii mate wireless is out of stock at the mo. You reckon the Roland WM-1 Wireless MIDI Adaptor could suffice?
Midi CLock Sync issue! Ive connected the Captain via USB into mac. Geek mode. Set the midi thru option to [ON] within the USB GEEK mode. When sending midi clock info out of ableton to the midi captain, then connecting a midi cable from the Captain's midi O/P to the Boss GT-1000 core's midi input, the tempo fluctuates and never stays still on the actual tempo... ANy help on this?
GEEZ...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! I just got a Headrush MX5, and was looking into this...and here you are...AGAIN!... LOL! Was considering a Hotone Midi foot controller or the more expensive Morningstar MC8, but at the price (about $45 more than the Hotone, but considerably less that the MC8) this became a more viable option.....More programming, but I'm so used to that (used to DJ using Serato using Korg NanoPads and NanoKontrols). Glad I subbed!
Very cool. One feature, the ability to send multiple MIDI commands with one button, would be particularly useful. I get around that in the Helix Command Center, but it would definitely be easier with the MIDI Captain. Five Guys Has The Best Burgers
Wow, it looks like it has a lot of features! That geek mode sounds awesome. Coming from a nerd, absolutely love that text-based configuration files! Also, I hope they open some Five Guys where I live as I never tried it! One day I may say "Five Guys has the best burgers" :D
Thank you Scott for explaining this in such a clear, concise and useful way! I've never been able to understand the videos made by the manufacturer but you've helped me understand it fully and more clearly. Thank you!

However I would like to try your suggestion to see if "Five Guys has the best burgers".
Thanks! 😊 I appreciate that!
Excellent and very helpful video for the MC. SUBSCRIBED
Awesome, thank you for the sub 🤘
Five Guys has the best burgers... Thanks Scott, I followed your advice on wireless guitar systems and I'm really happy with the results. Thanks for all your great advice
Nice! Glad it’s been working well for you!
Ive been using the MeloAudio Midi Commander for years. And this is literally exactly that but so much better. I wish this existed when I bought mine. "Also, Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
I’ve never used that one, but good to know!
I sold mine after I found out the MeloAudio (Harley Benton has the same Midi Commander) couldn't change CC values (aside from 0 or 127) or even send multiple commands. This MIDI Captain is what I had hoped it would be. If this thing gets available where I live I'm very interested in getting one.
@@Htbaa yeah. There have definitely been some things that I wished it would do. And same, this looks exactly like what I thought the commander would be.
@@lunatictumor at first I thought it was (another) clone because it looks so similar!
This is a really cool tool, the bluetooth option would put it over the top!! Plus, 5 Guys Has The Best Burgers
Using it with the widi master is a simple fix for now 🤘 but I agree!
Great video Scott, super helpful. I have this unit and you helped me figure out the color configuration. Thanks!
I am using it with BIAX FX 2 and having some challenges in keeping the consistency of the led lights when I change from one PC to another. If my CC Pedal light is on for PC A when I change to PC B it carry over the light on status which sometimes can be inconsistent with the actual value on that CC Pedal light. Hope that makes sense LOL.
As always great video Scott......five guys has the best burgers lol
Thanks man 🤘
It surprises me the price! It is really affordable for the amount of features it has, nice! “Five guys has the best burgers”
Yeah the price is unbeatable for this kind of programmability and portability!
can i connect it with just 1 USB-cable to my iPad for switching Loopy Pro and USB-Power at the same time? And the 10 Presets meaning you have 10 times 8 buttons + up and down? thank you !
I believe so, yes. I don’t know if it provides power though, it just depends. And yes, that’s what 10 presets mean 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusicthank you Scott!
Looks like a good unit, great video. I hope more companies continue making food pedals and the competition helps to drive the price lower. I have an Art X-15 Ultra Foot but due to it's size and complexity setting it up, it mostly collects dust, but this foot pedal solves at least one of those issues. I also agree: "Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
Yeah portability is a huge factor for me!
Thanks so much for everything I learned from you. You explain everything perfectly. This controller is cool too, love it 🤩
Five guys has the best burgers.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking to get a Morningstar MC8, but they’ve been sold out for some time. This looks like a great alternative that has more switches for less $, and I don’t need the features the MC8 has that this one doesn’t. Five Guys Has The Best Burgers!
Yeah this one is great and definitely less expensive!
This thing is pretty amazing! I love that you don't have to connect it to a computer to program it. It's interesting that it talks to the wireless on 2.4 instead of Bluetooth. The CME Widijack fixes that. Thanks for another great review. Just the other day I was mentioning to my wife we've had a Five Guys here for years and we've never checked it out. Damn it Scotty, I will have to tell her you think Five Guys has the best burgers. Were you listening in on our conversation? 😂
😂😂 and yeah that’s definitely an interesting choice for sure, but it’s pretty cool you can use multiple ones. I wouldn’t use too many of them at once though. Thanks for commenting!
Five Guys Has The Best Burgers . I am learning so much from your videos.
Hey Scott! Would you please consider making a video about programming the Midi Captain in Super Mode? I'm especially wanting to learn how to send different CC commands when single press, double press, and long pressing a single button/key. I'm wanting to use this with Loopy Pro. Thanks!
I think you can do that in Geek Mode 👍
Another great review. And Five Guys has the best burgers.
Thank you!
Fantastic device! “Five guys has the best burgers”
Got one of these pedals and glad that you went through the all the options on it so I a beginner at midi can understand what I have. Encouraging our second guitar player to get one also so "Five Guys Has the Best Burgers"
Glad to help 🤘
This is the last piece I need for my rig! Thank you for the review! Five Guys Has The Best Burgers!
Nice! Glad to help
Thanx for an outstanding review as usual. My current controller is the Blackstar live logic but this one really seems superior. "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers"
Blackstar does make good stuff too 🤘 but I definitely like this one a lot
Like what I see so far! Do you know if the footswitch LEDs can show on/off status for effects? (e.g., light on for "on," light off for "off")
Great video. Five guys has the best burgers.
Thanks!
Again, great review! Looking forward for the next one and Five Guys Has The Best Burgers 😅
Thank you!
Bro, who is editing theses videos? Excellent overlays, zooms, split screens, etc. Top notch instructional video stuff. 👍👍
Thanks man! That’s me. That’s also what takes BY FAR the longest to put together for a video haha
Very cool that it’ll work with WIDI Master!
Yup!
“Five Guys has the best burgers” and a great midi commander
This pedal looks awesome!! great video.
"Five Guys Has The Best Burgers"
Thank you!
Another awesome video, Scott!! " Five Guys Has The Best Burgers "
Thank you!
Five guys has the best burgers, they really do.
I've been looking to get my board setup with a midi controller and this might just be the one, as I really like how this one looks. I've been tap dancing and I'd like to simplify that part. I'd be using it with the gt-1000core and a sy-200 starting out, down the road I'd to add vocal effects switching to it.
Yeah, having one central hub for everything helps a lot!
I'm a long time All Access User and been working with backing tracks for 15 Years now. I've never really looked into alternatives to the All Access, because first of all I have it, and second I didn't really think many other devices would be capable enough. Also the price point being an issue. Never change a running system. However this thing actually looks awesome and I wouldn't mind reducing the footprint of the AllAccess ;-) Five Guys Has The Best Burgers
I've been thinking about wireless midi control for a while, and i think this would do everything i need. Also, Five Guys has the best burgers.
It’s a great option for sure 🤘
All this midi talk is making me hungry! 5 guys has the best burgers!
🍔🍔😊
Another great, informative video, Scott. Looks like a great piece of gear. I use an HX Stomp too, so the Midi Captain would be fantastic. As a vegan, it pains me to say, "Five Guys Has The Best Burgers."
Haha well you are entered into the contest now 😊😊
Thanks for the Video. I am new to MIDI Controllers and looping. Five Guys Has the Best Burgers.
Really appreciate you explaining geek mode. Didnt realise I had to program release of buttons as well as press. Anyway.....got that working.
My issue is scrolling through presets or memories of my device. I would like to assign a pair of buttons to do this. I could in 'preset' mode where there is facility to assign PC commands to 'up' or 'down'. In geek mode, no such command either than up/dwn to scroll through pages. Do you know if there is a work around?
Thanks!
In geek mode? Not that I know of. I just leave the last two to change banks
Thanks for that in depth tut bro. I see that the midii mate wireless is out of stock at the mo. You reckon the Roland WM-1 Wireless MIDI Adaptor could suffice?
I haven’t used that one, I love the WIDI stuff for wireless midi personally
Midi CLock Sync issue! Ive connected the Captain via USB into mac. Geek mode. Set the midi thru option to [ON] within the USB GEEK mode. When sending midi clock info out of ableton to the midi captain, then connecting a midi cable from the Captain's midi O/P to the Boss GT-1000 core's midi input, the tempo fluctuates and never stays still on the actual tempo... ANy help on this?
I haven’t used it with midi clock, so I’m not sure 🤔
GEEZ...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!
I just got a Headrush MX5, and was looking into this...and here you are...AGAIN!... LOL!
Was considering a Hotone Midi foot controller or the more expensive Morningstar MC8, but at the price (about $45 more than the Hotone, but considerably less that the MC8) this became a more viable option.....More programming, but I'm so used to that (used to DJ using Serato using Korg NanoPads and NanoKontrols).
Glad I subbed!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful, and yeah this one falls into a nice sweet spot!
Great review..as usual. Five Guys has the best burgers
Thanks!
“Five Guys has the best burgers” great review as always!!!
Thanks so much!
Very cool. One feature, the ability to send multiple MIDI commands with one button, would be particularly useful. I get around that in the Helix Command Center, but it would definitely be easier with the MIDI Captain.
Five Guys Has The Best Burgers
Yeah definitely easier on the Captain than the Helix!
Wow, it looks like it has a lot of features! That geek mode sounds awesome. Coming from a nerd, absolutely love that text-based configuration files!
Also, I hope they open some Five Guys where I live as I never tried it! One day I may say "Five Guys has the best burgers" :D
Yeah, geek mode is definitely the selling point!
Five Guys Has The Best Burgers working up to a whole other level of sponsorship for the videos Scott!
Thanks man! I’m grateful for all my subscribers for helping the channel grow!
