FootSmart

Benefits

The Morningstar MC6Pro MIDI controller is great:

• Change several pedals/settings with a single click
• Presets are named and color coded
• You can define presets that scroll through options

This controller plus FootSmart is even better:

• Colors are more consistently applied.
• Banks are named, and jump to bank messages use the names, not bank position.
• MIDI messages are referred to by name and are grouped by device, making them easier to understand and having fewer errors.
• Presets that scroll through several options are much easier to define, all the infrastructure is handled.
• Configuration is a file, and can be commented, stored in the cloud and saved in source control.

Using an MC6Pro and FootSmart means you will be playing more, and fiddling with manuals and tweaking pedals less.
