I’m looking to add a midi controller to my set-up, but I have no clue what I’m doing and still can’t quite figure it out after significant googling.
Basically, I’ve got a Source Audio Nemesis delay and a CBA Dark World, and I would like to use something to cycle through presets on both pedals.
The Disaster Area DMC Micro looks really appealing to me based on price, size, and functionality (I really just want to skip between presets), but I don’t know if I can connect both CBA and Source Audio pedals to the one small controller.
I realize this is a question that has an incredibly simple answer, but I don’t know the answer, and here we are.
The other part to this question is whether there’s another solution like a dual aux switch or something. But again, I want one switcher that controls both pedals.
Help?

Re: Explain MIDI for my set-up like I’m a 5 year old
The website says it can control up to three devices. This should be capable of doing what you need it to do. I’m not sure how the jacks will control what you need them to control.
Your best bet wold be to email them with what you want do do to see if it’s possible.
Changing through presets on the Nemesis is pretty simple with the Boss ES-5 but it also controlled the nemesis’ tempo so each time I switched tempo would change. Not sure on this device.

I'm looking into something similar for the enzo so I'm going to contact disaster area as well. I've spoken with them in the past, they turned me onto the EVO cables and they are super patient and helpful.

You'd connect the Nemesis via a 5-pin DIN cable using the MIDI jacks, and the Dark World via a TRS cable (MultiJack output on the DMC Micro to 1/4" MIDI input on the CBA).weebles wrote:Basically, I’ve got a Source Audio Nemesis delay and a CBA Dark World, and I would like to use something to cycle through presets on both pedals.

Awesome. Well, looks like that's my next purchase!

ES-5/8: turn off the tempo change send on the unit.
