It seems like you're discussing different options and considerations for your pedalboard setup and MIDI control. Let's break it down:
Morningstar MC6: You mentioned that you are interested in the Morningstar MC6, but it has been sold out. However, since you don't need additional foot switches, you're not entirely convinced about this option.
Boss ES-8: You have a Boss ES-8, which you currently use in stomp mode. While it may not be as straightforward to connect to a computer and program as the Morningstar devices, you appreciate its functionality for changing pedal selection on the fly and saving presets with your feet.
MIDI Control: You've realized the benefits of having all MIDI pedals synced to the same PC, allowing you to edit and save presets quickly and easily. However, you also mention that programming the presets on the Boss ES-8 would require a significant amount of time.
MIDI Channel Separation: You suggest that it would be helpful if pedal makers allowed for separate MIDI channels for PC (Program Change) and CC (Continuous Controller) messages. This way, you could have separate control over individual parameters while maintaining the convenience of pedalboard presets.
