Instead of tapping on a mobile phone screen to switch patches through the Katana Librarian app, the M-Vave Chocolate foot switches wirelessly control the virtual GA-FC footswitches in the Katana Librarian app.
Compre el adaptador OTG pero con salida lightning (iPhone), pero no funcionó, la app de Katana no detecta el amplificador (50 MKII). La misma APP me indica que los adaptadores OTG aceptables son el CME WIDI UHOST, el XSonic Airstep y el Xsonic Airstep Kat Edition. Total, no pude conectar el Chocolat M-Vave. Tendran alguna sugerencia??
I have the Katana 50 watt Gen3 which has bluetooth and no longer uses a printer end cable but USB C. I have an iphone and the latest Gen3 App. Can you help?
excellent video, had the chocolate collecting dust and was going to buy the official boss pedal but this saved me a few quid, do you know if it's possible to use the expression pedal port on this too?
@disrobingbean9270 Thanks! Glad I'm able help through the video. You've got to see part 3. I think a MIDI expression pedal is what it needs. Not so sure though.
You're welcome! Not sure. Are you able to control your Katana Air amp using the Katana Librarian app? If you are, it probably will work because the M-Vave controls the Katana Librarian, Katana Librarian controls the amp. M-Vave just gives you hand-free control of Katana Librarian app.
@@PaoloOndevilla Thank you Paolo.The Katana Librarian App supports the following Katana Amps: Katana-50, Katana-50 MkII Katana-100, Katana-100MkII Katana-100/212, Katana-100/212 MkII Katana-Head, Katana-Head MkII Katana-Artist, Katana-Artist MkII *The Katana Air is not on the Boss KTN Librarian List! I thought that maybe the APP CubeSuite could make it possible to control the panel of the Katana Air, Chanel A and B via Midi Bluethoot with the M-Wave Chocolate Foot Controller? At the moment I have the Xsonic Airstep BW, which was specially made for the Katana Air, but you cannot change the individual 4 modes of the controller and adjust them as desired. I'm assuming Boss is still fixing the problem with the Librarian app so the Katana Air is on the list as well. Greetings from Switzerland 🎸
Hi, can you switch between groups with this system? I would like to be able to navigate with the pedalboard between the different livesets (perhaps by pressing the E and F 'buttons' to go forwards or backwards) and set 4 different sounds for each liveset (selectable from the 4 buttons A, B, C, D). Can this be done? (I'm afraid you can only go back and forth between one sound and another without being able to move between the different groups...which would be quite useful for a concert).
I was also thinking about this idea the other day. However, there isn't a liveset switcher in the Katana Librarian app where you could assign a midi footswitch to. Even in Tone Studio, to change the liveset, you have to manually write to amp that liveset.
The katana librarian developer said he would try to add a liveset loading time indicator (since it is missing), like the one in BTS. I have now asked him if it would be possible to add the functionality of switching between livesets (because it would be very useful). We'll see!
I just tried doing this on my Boss Katana Head (non-MKII) and it's not working for whatever reason. I have the Mwave chocolate set to "Keyboard B" and when I try to go into the hotkey settings and click "A:CH1" the amp/app doesn't respond to the footswitch at all. I wasn't actually sure what side to plug the Midi BT receiver in but I've tried both the "midi out" and "midi in" ends of the plug going into the "Midi In" on the Katana and it doesn't make a difference - I don't get any response from the footswitch. Any idea what's going on here?
Would you know what kind of USB the Katana does best or supports, Usb 2.0 or 3.0 ?. Because using here the Katana program in the amplifier I realize that there is a latency or delay in changing effects , and the cable I use is 2.0 , in this case if i use a 3.0 will i solve this delay ? .
I am using a printer cable USB 2.0 cable. It's USB type A on one end and USB type B one the other end. When recording, via USB into my DAW, I set the buffer size as low as possible to reduce latency. When mixing I set the buffer size to 1024. When the Katana is connected to the Katana Librarian app via OTG cable, the response of the virtual GA-FC is always instantaneous.
Olá, alguém poderia me ajudar? estou seguindo o passo a passo do vídeo, mas não está funcionando. Não está gravando o comando, na parte das configurações do aplicativo Katana Librarian, não muda o comando. Alguém tem alguma dica para dar certo?
Consegui solucionar. Instalei no meu smartphone e a configuração funcionou, antes eu havia instalado no meu tablet, este é mais antigo, não sei explicar o que ocorreu. Parece que não funciona em todos os aparelhos.
Has anybody been able to use the chocolate foot switch with Boss Katana without using a phone as a midi interface? I use the chocolate along with the M-Vave MS-1 midi interface with my Zoom pedal, no phone needed for normal connectivity.
Good question. Hindi na sir. Tanda na nung dalawang app ung MIDI assignments after nyan. Ipprompt ka din ng android kung gusto mo bumukas ng kusa ung Katana Librarian pagkonek ng OTG cable na nakasaksak sa amp. Mas gumanda pa sir ung Cubesuite nasa part 3.
Anyone else having issues with this unit losing the connection with your iPad? I thought at first this was a great little controller (4 midi-assignable foot switches), but I've had continuing issues with the unit losing connectivity with my iPad. Sometimes it's after 10 minutes, sometimes after 60, but this consistently happens. I'm using an 2021 iPad Pro, running IOS 15.4.1. The unit is about 3 feet from my iPad. I've put the pedal aside and will not be using it again unless I can identify a solution to the problem.
First, see if you are able to control your katana 50 old version with the Katana Librarian via an OTG cable. M-Vave Chocolate is for hands free operation of the Katana Librarian app. The app controls the amp.
Recording my guitar with the Katana 50 mk2 via USB into cakewalk by Bandlab the latency is unnoticeable to me. Recording my guitar via the Katana's line out into my audio interface even the smallest latency feels uncomfortable. The Katana is the better audio interface.
Thank you sir, i just bought my katana 50, Sabi kasi nung sales agent sa akin wala daw FS for mk2 50 ang meron lang daw is ung mk2 50 EX which is much more expensive. Pagkaka alam ko meron talaga FS ang 50. Hindi ko alam kung sine sales talk nya lang ako to upsell para ung EX na lang bilhin ko.
Welcome. Tama nman cya kasi hindi nila macoconfirm ang reliability ng third party hardware/software except products from Boss/Roland. Kung mapapagana mo ung ibang solution, tulad ng nakademo sa video ko, for your advantage na makatipid, wireless MIDI pa, saka mas maraming footswitches (in Part 3 video) then good. Tinanong ko sa seller ung M-Vave bago ako bumili wlang additional details and wlang tech support. Pag Boss products syempre may tech support and warranty.

Can you use this with PC instead of an Android phone?
pwede din ba ito sa pc isetting i mean instead of using android sa mvave, pc ang gagamitin ko

hi @@PaoloOndevilla, can you edit the patch/preset and save it?

Yes.

Hello sir, Anong brand po ng OTG nyo? di po ba kayo nag ka issue ng amp not connected sa katana librarian? naka 3 palit na po ako ng cable. Thank you
