That's so annoying :/ And a very good point I could have brought up. Software can require some work to maintain, especially when setting up on a new computer. I hope your plugins become M3 Mac-compatible soon :) The stable nature of a pedalboard should not be underestimated

Happy to hear that! Thanks for the sub :)

Hey! I'm using Android myself so cannot test whether it works or not. But in principle it should work I think. At least you can connect to your iOS via bluetooth and configure the device. I'm not sure if the iOS device can receive MIDI from the controller over bluetooth though, but hopefully it can. And that would be what LoopyPro requires is my understanding. Perhaps someone with an iOS device could let us know? Hope if works out for you :)

Hey! Great question. Unfortunately I only have the one unit, so not able to test this. But your software/hardware (given enough inputs) should in principle be able to receive MIDI from multiple controllers. But I'm not sure how they'd handle several controllers of same type of device. For example, it could be (and it would be unfortunate) that the Chocolate device drivers can only handle one device at a time. If I ever get a second M-VAVE Chocolate I'll test this and let you know

Hey! That might be possible if your amp has some kind of MIDI / USB / bluetooth input. What kind of amp do you have?

@@AmbientWithAdam Just ordered a Blackstar ID:Core V3 Stereo 20. I also ordered the m-vave to use with archetype plini but was wondering if it works with the amp as well. Guess I’ll test it out once everything arrives.

​@@TakisKoroneos Ok, nice :) It looks like one can control it with a "Blackstar Foot Controller FS-11". That also also seems to have a TRS-like output, so it might be possible with M-VAVE Chocolate if you put it in TRS-to-MIDI mode, and connect via TRS to the amp. But it's still hard to know what kind of MIDI commands you'd need to send. It depends on what the FS-11 sends since we'd want to mimic that. Probably they wouldn't reveal what kind commands they send with the FS-11 to force you to buy it. Likely it would be hard to get this working with the M-VAVE Chocolate I think unfortunately :/ But you never know, good luck!

@@AmbientWithAdam Thanks for your input! You’re probably right, I just feel the fs-11 is a bit much for the value it provides. It literally works only on a couple of amps.

@@TakisKoroneos No worries! I hope it works out :) Yes, I totally agree about the fs-11. Annoying that they do that instead of just providing a general purpose MIDI input and document what codes need to be sent :/

Hey! On your request I've tested this a bit now. Using the "Video Model" mode of the controller, I was able to control VLC on Windows: Go backward, go forward and play/pause all worked, but I'm not sure what the last button ("loop playback") does. I didn't work at all with Windows Media Player unfortunately. It appears like there are also other ways of controlling VLC with MIDI too: www.quora.com/How-can-you-control-VLC-playback-with-MIDI (using any controller). Hope this was helpful

@@AmbientWithAdam Thank you so much you're great! so kind and professional, super answer, have a great time..

Lol, can't believe I missed that! Thank for the correction. I'll pin this comment

Nice, the black one looks sick too!

That's unfortunate :/ That cap is probably something the could afford to upgrade lol

What device/software are you trying to control? There's no way the controller can detect what the status of the effect is, it can only send the MIDI commands to configure it. This is not the fault of the controller though. But there are three different things I can think of that you could try with "Advanced custom mode" which may or may not work depending on your device/software: 1) Bind the effect on/off toggle to a CC code, and then configure one of your footswitches to send that CC code. The value doesn't matter 2) If you're only able to turn on or off the effect the effect this way, you could try using two footswitches (or long and short press on one footswitch) to send different values for the same CC. So footswitch would send value 0, and the other value 127. Then it might be that one of the switches turns the effect on, and the other off. Which might work for you? 3) Similar to case 1), you could also try a MIDI Note ON command instead of a CC command. This for example works for some DAWs like Ableton Live to toggle things I hope that you are able to work it out. You might also want to check the manual of the device/software you are controlling if you have access to it. In the end it might also be easier to use a MIDI controller from the same manufacturer that is designed for your device/software, if there is one

Hey! Actually I haven't gotten another unit, yet at least. For now I'm just using a DAW (Ableton Live) and plugins. NAM and Tonex for amp sounds. It's actually great. The only thing I don't like is being tied to my computer

Yep. The looper is useless. Bought a new one from thomann. They Sent me a used one scrched up and all and charged full price. So being returned ASAP. In all fairness its a good sounding device with a unusable looper.

Happy to hear it was helpful! Thank you!!

Totally agree! It's annoying to have a fret job done, and also risky in the sense that it may not feel like the same guitar afterwards. And yeah, since these Ibanez are also made in Indonesia they should be able to afford those SS frets as well :) Hope you enjoy your headless guitars!

Thanks for the heads up! I thought I'd set it up correctly with the YT card, but I'll check again. Hope you're having a good day :)

Thank you! :)

Ah, I hadn't thought of that haha. Makes sense :) Thanks for the tip!

@@AmbientWithAdam You're welcome, thought it would help.
