Thanks for checking out my MIDI Baby 3 Video on YouTube.
Admittedly, this content is a bit dated now and the newest firmware is much better... so I'd encourage you to check out the new editor and get to work programming your unit.
Here's how I still set mine up:
MIDI Baby Controls
Center Tap: Tap Tempo
Center Hold: Mode Toggle
Center Long Hold: Tuner
Left Tap: Preset Down
Right Tap: Preset Up
Left Hold: FS4
Right Hold: FS5
Buy the MIDI Baby 3 from Disaster Area Designs Buy the HX Stomp from Reverb.com
Anyone have a suggestion on how to get an expression pedal working with the midi baby3? I'm using left for preset down, right for preset up, and center for tuner. I'm sure I'll do more once I'm more sure what I want. However, I've been trying to get an expression pedal to work using the black 1/4 jack and a TRS cable. I've set it for expression in the editor and have correct MIDI values. Is this functionality not available if using all three buttons or something? Or am I missing something on the HX Stomp? I've made sure both global and command center settings recognized EXP1 as coming in via MIDI.
Note, I did not resolve this exactly, but worked around it. I found that CC 72, 0-63 (Previous Preset), 64-127 (Next Preset) solves the problem. This doesn't appear to be documented in the manual, but is documented on helixhelp.com
Thank you so much for your videos and files -- without your work I would not have taken the plunge on the Midi Baby 3. I do have something weird, that you may have experience with. I want to use FS4/FS5 as preset up/down, because I prefer that over the Midi Baby choosing the first preset when I press the left/right switches the first time.
Note I am just using the MIDI port, and setting the function of FS4 and FS5 on the HX Stomp, if I do the long press then, the HX Stomp changes presets in that direction indefinitely until I press the opposite switch. It is as if the switch is latching.
I have tried playing around…
