Looking for a controller for Axe-Fx III

[TONYMUSIC1988]

I am looking for a MIDI controller for my AXE III, anyone has a good idea?

I got 3 options:
1. AIRSTEP
xsonicaudio.com/pages/airstep
2. Morningstar MC6MKII
morningstarfx.com/mc6-mkii
3. Harle Benton MP-100
thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_mp_100_midi_foot_controller.htm

I really like the AIRSTEP it looks like can control a lot of things, my AXE, amp, daw, iOS devices ...etc. But it seems to be a brand new product. I don’t know how it works. Can someone give me some advice, It hard to make a choice.

You haven't said what you need and/or want in a controller so hard to make a recommendation.

Voes, BJ Devices (with the @GM Arts firmware), Behringer FCB-1010 (with or without 3rd party ROM chips), Melaudio, RJM, Liquid Foot, etc

Various options that run the gamut from limited to quite capable and cheap to very expensive.

Also, I assume you're intentionally not looking at the Fractal FC controllers?

Thank you for your response, appreciate it. I just need a reasonable price and small size controller to control my AXE.

RJM Mastermind LT. I use mine to control my II. Small, powerful, simple, inexpensive...love it. Great support too.

Mastermind controllers are the best I've ever used. Strongly recommended.

But what are you wanting to DO with it?

Preset Changes? Scene changes? Channel changes?

Any should be able to change Presets, some can change scenes, some can change channels...

For small, very capable and reasonable price the Morningstar, Voes and BJ Devices are probably the sweet spot.

MC8. 8 buttons and 8 scenes, match made in heaven.

Picked up an Axe FX 3 this week (I have an AXE FX II Mk 2 I've had for a year or so--wanted some more POWER).

Thanks to the info in this thread, just decided to order a Voes MX-18 as the Rocktron All Access I got with the FX II is a PITA to program (I can get by, but really like what the Voes offers).
