YMMV, but I love it, and midi down USB is a key enabler. According to some posts, the IAC bus filters out MMC when sent from Logic, so the alternative is to use either a hardware midi in/out, Apple Network Midi (apparently need reconnecting on each start though), or a freeware called MidiPipe. Having this basic midi interface & routing capability and a library of midi commands the footswitch can send makes stage life all about performing, playing and singing and lets the gear fade to the background. Anyone have suggestions for FOSS or at least free alternative that supports easy routing.
MIDIPIPE ALTERNATIVE CODE
Its 'open source' now insomuch as the code is on Github, but there is zero active development.
MIDIPIPE ALTERNATIVE PRO
And it receives midi automation (sent by the DAW) down USB for switching Axe-Fx scenes during songs so I'm not tap-dancing (because it's a hassle and because it's the year 2020). RS Pro Midi Pipe Cutter Professional midi tube cutter thats compact and adjustable making it easy to use on copper pipes. Well, now that MidiPipe has been updated to support Catalina, one of my only remaining stumbling blocks is Midi Patchbay, which hasn't been updated since 2008. The USB midi on the LG sends midi to a computer running a DAW (selecting, cueing and playing backing tracks) and a digital mixing board (muting FX channels, moving FX return sliders, remote engage of mixing board recording).The regular midi sends commands to axe-fx while also receiving tuner data down the same cable because the LG can convert a single midi cable into 2-way midi - very handy.In my use case, I use both regular midi and USB midi on the Little Giant foot switch midi interface.
MIDIPIPE ALTERNATIVE FULL
Having full midi interface capability on all Fractal products would be great (I can't speak for the III and FM3, I don't own them)
