VIDEO: Boss ES-8 controlling HX Effects, Stomp, and Zoom MX-70CDR

So far, so good.

 

Make no mistake, though, the Roland UI is 1980s synth primitive and the ES-8 editor is 1990s third party primitive. I won't deny they're deep and detailed, but the Helix family's UI, hardware and software, are head and shoulders above Roland. MusicomLab may very well eat Roland's lunch by the end of 2020 but for now, even with the so-called "cons", Roland is winning. For better or worse, I had to start finding solutions now instead of waiting for Musicom Lab. A full stereo "HX Switch" with the Helix family's UI would be a unifying force in the pedalboard universe, though.

MIDI. The MS-70 is limited to patch changes but if the homework is done properly that's all one needs on the day.

 

Thanks - but it hasn't gotten a dedicated MIDI in, so it must happen through the mini USB port. Which device are you using to control it through that?
