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.
UNIVERSAL MIDI CONTROLLER
Morningstar controllers are compatible with any device that accepts MIDI, regardless of brand or model.
This is made possible with the ability to send any type of MIDI message you need. As long as your device accepts MIDI, it will work perfectly with our controllers.
MIDI AND 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.
To navigate the controller itself, you can also select function messages to bank up/down, jump to specific banks, engage multiple presets and much more.
More information in the full list of MIDI and Function Message Types.
MESSAGE STACKING
Send up to 16 different MIDI messages across 16 MIDI channels with each switch.
This allows you to control up to 16 different devices with a single switch. Switches are also able to trigger each other so you can engage any preset you want from any switch across the 30 banks.
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.
