IK Multimedia Tone X One?

At least last year I showed them the finger (total gear purchase worth in 2023: €0!).

That’s very impressive!

Well, ok, I actually lied. I forgot that I had to buy a used BE OD because the price was too good. But that was about it. Not even picks or strings (I stocked those up pretty well in '22, though). But apart from that, yes, I'm a bit proud of myself, too. But otherwise I couldn't have justified that nice, max'ed out Macbook Air, so there. It also massively helped me to streamline some of my stuff. Which was a great idea.

I hate that I'm looking at this as a feasible "captured OD" pedal. It still blows my mind that I can't load an OD capture and an Amp capture in the Tonex software. I suppose I'm less surprised that the OG Tonex pedal can't load two captures simultaneously. It would have been nice to allow for something like that in the Tonex pedal, but now for the low, low price of $180, I can add that feature to my Tonex pedal.

Along that line, it could be more interesting to find a used big boi Tonex pedal and use that as an "OD" pedal. With the three foot switchable presets, you have boost, OD, OD+boost.

I mean, I guess that’s great for people who around with a pedal in their pocket.

Fly-rig bro. Where are we flying? Nobody knows, but we’re ready when it happens. Plus…

I guess these pedals just don't make sense to me in a world with the HX Stomp.

I don't think anyone here is saying this pedal is a must and you need to get it.

They already sell a bigger product w/ MIDI.

Like it or not, this thing is going to have a sh*tload of appeal for a lot of folks; it's just that most of them aren't on this board. LOL.

Like I said on the other ToneX thread a lot of folks will settle on 3-5 profiles and be done. You only have to tolerate the software to reach stasis. At this size and price point this thing will be a monster success.

They basically “want” the pedal IK already sells

Interested to find out if it can be powered by the USB out of my FM3, since it apparently can run from a normal USB source. I sort of doubt it but I'm definitely gonna try. Stick it right on the side with some dual lock and you don't even need a board!

Is there some sort of small device that converts 5 pin midi to usb midi?

 

[northern_fox]

it doesn't have midi USB

it doesn't have midi USB

How do you know?

 

[northern_fox]

How do you know?

Just based on what I've seen people saying elsewhere. I don't really have a source or anything. I was under the impression it didn't have midi support at all, but I could be wrong

Thomann has a video on it on Youtube and they specifically say it has no MIDI support.

That would be interesting to find out. I'm contemplating sticking one into the FX loop of the FM3 too.

That and the manual doesn't mention midi PCs or anything

No midi i.e. no midi jacks. Removing midi from the firmware would cost more than leaving it there but let’s see…

Will check the big tonex and see how it communicates over usb.

Well, the manual of, say, the MS-50 doesn't say anything about MIDI, either - and yet, it's pretty fully implemented. So I wouldn't give too much about that, but it possibly takes someone willing to experiment which MIDI messages it will understand (if at all, of course).

Really, look at the Zoom MS units. There's editors, dedicated MIDI-over-USB footswitch arrangements and what not.
Many devices are apparently using MIDI for internal communication - but the protocol is not exposed and neither will you find any dedicated connections.

Only concern is that there’s basically no editor for the pedal. Only read/write preset. But if I confirm that uses midi in some form then it should be the same for the mini pedal.

 

[Byrdman]

Midi over USB would probably require a host which would defeat the "Tonex Mini" purpose and they dont have android or iOS SW, correct?
