Midi Captain vs Morningstar?

[metallica86]

Hi everyone,
Back to Fractaland but unable to find FC6 where I live.
Anyone have both the Midicaptain on Amazon and MC6? Any pro and con? Used MC6 is more expensive than brand new Midicaptain in my area.
Thanks

Nine times out of ten you get what you pay for. The MC6 is almost certainly going to be a better quality device.

You might take a look at the Voes MX Midi Controllers.
They come in 6 different sizes & # buttons. 1x5, 2x3, 3x3, 3x4, 2x6, 3x6.

Syncs with the Axe-Fx III/FM3/FM9

• Preset Name
• Scene Name
• Scene Select & Active Scene
• Block On/Off state
• Block Selected Channel
• Looper functions
• Tuner info
• Tempo (blink)

Only one cable is needed to connect both devices and provide the MX of Power, Midi In and Midi Out.

The Midi Captain is great with the new "super mode" but it's a bugger to program. Once you can do it it works great. I have mine with a wireless dongle which is reliable as long as it's charged sufficiently.

MC6 I'm sure is a better controller but it's around $600 here in Aus, compared to about $300 for the Midi Captain. The Midi captain has just been released in 2/4/6 button versions, but they can't have wireless operation. The Midi captain itself runs on rechargeable batteries so you can have the Fractal at the back of the stage if you dare!!
