forresal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Looking for recommendations for a 3 Button footswitch either midi or aux switch. Most likely a midi based on my understanding that an external TRS switch only allows me to add two. I’d like to use the HXS buttons to control effects within in a preset and the 3 button external switch to control preset scroll (one switch up and one down) and tap tempo. The DMC micro is great but only 2 switches and the Morningstar is overkill for me at this time. Any others out out there to consider? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If three switches is what you need, I'd research this one next: https://www.disasterareaamps.com/shop/dmc-3xl-gen3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forresal Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Awesome. Thanks. I was looking at the older DMC 3 series. But wasn’t sure if it would work well. This current version is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no. I don't have one. I have been researching getting one though because it's extremely small form factor is appealing. When I first bought a midi controller I had no idea how powerful that one really was, even with only two buttons. Now, how do I know it can do it? Check out the links below. In the video they clearly switch between stomp and snapshot modes which are only possible if you can send cc values. The first forum link actually has some explanation, but where I don't have one to try it on it's hard to connect the dots. It appears to have to do with some mode called "utility" mode, but beyond that it's all gibberish to me. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/dmc-micro-with-hx-stomp.1991666/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamirh67 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Thanks, this really helped! now I understand that I need to return the dmc-xl3 and get the micro :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
