The MIDI Mouse

This is Tech21's MIDI Mouse, a super simple MIDI foot controller, no programming involved, compact, truly plug & play..

Reasonably cheap, very compact & built like tank !!

PERFECT !

No offence meant BUT.. when will the geeks producing cutting edge gear realise users OFTEN are NOT & DON'T WANT to become experts in any tech area in order to simply use something !? It's SO damn stupid.. but i guess their knowledge insulates them in their own bubble from the real world ?

Plug, play, DONE, next please !!!..

 

The effect patches in each pedal are set in an order that when i press the up/down buttons on the MIDI Mouse, they all go into the desired patch relative to one another thus bypassing the need to tap dance like a maniac

 

If i need to alter parameters of the Eventides, i have their app on my iPhone mounted on a gooseneck which allows me just that.

Sadly TC Electronics doesn't provide ANY control/edit software for the Nova - instead one has to go into endless menus via the crappy/tiny LCD screen.. i HATE that.

 

If it wasn't for their SUPERB audio quality AND analog drive section in one box, i would've gotten rid of it already but for the time being & without going into super expensive gear, nothing in the market compares to it.

 

I considerd buying the Fractal Audio FX8 floor board for a while but i find this combination of pedals gives me what i need, the Eventides & Nova easily holding their own against it in terms of audio quality + i find the Fractal edit software not even close in intuitiveness/ease of use when compared to Eventide's own..

Price wise it would also be about the same although having bought the Nova System & the Eventide Pitchfactor 2nd hand means i spend half of that.

Another BIG advantage of separate component systems to me is that if one of them breaks down, you still have something you can use, something ''one box solutions'' CAN'T provide for the obvious reasons
