Paint Audio MIDI Captain foot controller

Guys, I have read this topic and conveyed your demands to Mr. Wilson himself. This is a little thing I can do. If there is any response, I will inform you as soon as possible
 
I’ll pop in for a little update.
My second midi captain shat the bed (switch came off).
Same exact thing happened with the first one (they replaced it)
This one lived a longer life, about 1,5 years, first one died after 7 months of use.

Edit: This one also died after 7-8 months, it seems i don’t know how to count 😀

Hopefully that's an easy fix?

I dont know how to fix it, it doesn’t have any threads to screw back in, not sure how it’s attatched. With the last one I asked if the switches are easily replacable and they said no. I should make sure and open it up though, maybe it’s easy.

It's been a while since I've busted out the MIDI Cap'n. A fellow MC user from across the world found me on Facebook (after seeing this thread) to ask me some setup questions. Great timing, as I plan to attempt to use it with my newly-acquired AFX3.

Trying to wrap my head again around Super Mode, I've noticed a few bugs when attempting to navigate through the multiple pages with long presses from the UP/DWN switches - specifically when going UP from PAGE 18 to PAGE 0 which locks up the device and gives me this screen:

this has also happened sporadically when navigating through other pages, but the behavior isn't consistent -- it just seems to happen sometimes.



There also seems to be a pre-programmed Page UP/DWN coding that you (at least I) can't configure. This interferes with anything that you might also program to these switches.

For example: I have a CC assigned to the short-press function of the UP switch that activates the Axe3's tuner. When I hold the UP switch to change pages, the tuner activates.

Another example: I have a CC assigned to the short-press function of the DWN switch that allows me to go back 1 scene on the AF3, but when I long press the DWN switch to navigate to another page of the MIDI Cap, my Axe scene changes.

These behaviors make no sense because you're supposed to be able to assign functions to those UP/DWN switches as @notbob stated previously.



I also forgot how bad the lag is with my Dunlop MVP. Is it any different when using Paint Audio's own expression pedals. @mbenigni ? @Jaji ?

I'm not sure if I had posted this video in previous pages of this thread, but you can see/hear what I mean:

I'm afraid it's the same with any expression pedal. (The circuits are very similar if not identical.) I don't know whether the MIDI Captain is specifically to blame, or whether this is common to all MIDI CC implementations (in absence of a smoothing algorithm at the receiving end.) To complicate matters a little further, I'm almost always running my MIDI Captain over a wireless dongle, which will inevitably add a little latency/ staircasing of its own.
