Here’s what Morningstar say:

The MC3 is a fully programmable controller, capable of sending up to 16 different MIDI messages per switch. The deployment of 3.5mm jacks has allowed the MC3 to have a 5pin MIDI output and 4 independent TRS MIDI outputs despite its tiny form factor. MIDI messages can be sent simultaneously, or triggered separately by performing different actions. This gives you precise and customizable control with just one switch. With 30 dual-page banks of 3 switches in a tiny chassis, the MC3 sits comfortably on any pedalboard.

Key Features

  • Universal MIDI Controller – Morningstar controllers are compatible with any device that accepts MIDI, regardless of brand or model.
  • MIDI & Function Message Types – Every switch on a Morningstar controller is independently programmable. Choose to send any type of MIDI message including PC, CC, Note, SysEx, MIDI Clock, MMC and many more.
  • Message Stacking – Send up to 16 different MIDI messages across 16 MIDI channels with each switch.
  • Action-Based Control – Send different groups of messages depending on what action you perform. Assignable actions include Press, Release, Double Tap, Long Press and more.
  • MIDI Clock – Send, receive and relay MIDI clock to keep your effects synced. You have the option to tap in a tempo on-the-fly or send pre-set BPM.

USB Class Compliant & Powered

With MIDI over USB, control your favourite DAWs, plugins and music software on your computer or iPad. Easily MIDI map your desired controls to your foot switches with software like Ableton Live and Logic Pro. Morningstar controllers are also fully USB powered so you don’t have to concern yourself with a separate power supply.

Expression Pedal Control

Connect an expression pedal for smooth continuous MIDI control with user selectable pedal response curves. A single expression pedal becomes a multi-function expression pedal with MIDI. Use one expression pedal to control multiple different effect parameters with the ability to select/deselect what messages you want your expression pedal to send on the fly.

Multi-Type MIDI Outputs

All Morningstar controllers can send MIDI via their 5-pin, TRS and USB ports. This gives you direct connectivity to any MIDI device, without the need for a MIDI box or splitter.

MIDI CC Waveforms

Four independent MIDI Waveform Engines allow you to send continuous streams of CC messages. Choose from Saw, Triangle, Sine and Square wave shapes. Set your own minimum & maximum values, sync them to MIDI clock or have them independent. Automated modulation for your pedalboard is now a reality.

Expandable with AUX Switches

Add more switches to a Morningstar controller for more control over your presets and controller navigation.

Morningstar Editor App

With a powerful and intuitive editor application, programming your Morningstar controller is fast and easy. The Morningstar editor lets you view all your switch and message settings at once, allowing you to quickly make changes and name your switches/banks with great clarity.

Guitar Effects Pedals

Guitar Effects Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar effects pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

MIDI

MIDI-compatible pedals allow players to control presets, switching and parameters remotely using MIDI controllers and programmable pedalboard systems. This is especially useful in complex live rigs where several pedals need to change sounds instantly during a song.

Modern MIDI pedals can store presets, sync tempo-based effects and integrate with advanced switchers or digital processors. They are widely used by touring musicians, studio players and guitarists building highly controlled performance setups.
