In this video I'll be running through the basics of MIDI, settings up the MC8, and how I've decided to organize presets and bank switching. I'll go over setting up the MIDI channel for each pedal, what a program change message does, what a control change message and CC value does, and how to use expression pedals with MIDI. I have two banks set up for each type of gig that I do - one set up for ease of use with reverb & delay snapshots and toggles for modulation, and the other set up for more control over what tone I need to create with bank switching. I'll go over all of this in detail. It's a long video so feel free to visit the timestamps below!
