Excellent Tutorial! Short and clear! Just got the MC6 and already love it! So much possibilities😃
This is amazing! Can't wait to get one for my HX Stomp
Fantastic tutorial; props.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the video!!!
Cheers! Glad you liked it
Great product! Would be great to see more videoa with the HX Stomp in the future. Seems like a good marriage between the two products.
Hi! Yes, it is in our plans to do a more advanced and in-depth part two. Stay tuned. Cheers!

best controller... thx james ;•]
i love it
You should do a DEMO of this pedal with synths, or maybe the Octatrack! That would be lovely!
That would be cool! Something to consider for future videos. Thanks
one thing I think would be nice is if there were led lights instead of ON OFF texts. Anyways, if I were to use this, it would be to switch presets. This is awesome!
Hey! You can enable name blinking to indicate which preset is currently active.
So is there any way the HX stomp would actually share names with the MC6? Like so you can leave a name blank on the MC6 and when that switch is assigned to control the Red Squeeze, for instance, it would put that name on the morning star? Or the same with preset names?
Or does that have to be done separately by connecting to a computer?
how to assign 2 Expression pedal to work as volume and expression pedal in HXS?
That was an awesome video. Could you used it as the looper controls on the Helix Lt?
Thanks, glad you liked it! Yes you can. MIDI CC implementation for the looper can be found in the Helix LT manual here (pg 59): line6.com/data/6/0a020a3e07b158e5548ea50d4/application/pdf/Helix%20LT%20Owner's%20Manual%20-%20English%20.pdf
Question. I'm super new to MIDI control. I've had a BigSky for four years, and I just ordered an HX Stomp and have full intention of using them together.
So suppose I make different presets on the BigSky to correspond with presets I make on the Stomp. Would I be able to program the controller to "align" the presets of both the Stomp and BigSky together?
Hi Caleb! Yes, you will be able to do that easily. You can call up any preset from each of the pedals with a single MC6 switch press. You don't need to align your presets, which would be difficult and a pain. Cheers!
Great! Could I also use 2 settings at the same time on mc6, like having the preset selection at a, b, & c and parameter control at c, d, & e? Thank you so much!
Most definitely! Every switch on the MC6 is independently programable.
So the Helix can have more switches than f4/fs5 then??
Hi, I just bought the HX Stomp and I'm thinking of buying the MC6 to control it but I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I have the pedal in Preset or Scroll Mode and change presets with the Stomp's switches while also having the MC6 control specific functions within the presets?
Basicaly i want to switch presets on the line 6 stomp and with the MC6 being able to turn on/off any block or change parameters. Is this doable? I guess i would need to plug both MIDI IN/OUT to the MC6 so that the MC6 banks also scroll along with the presets right?
2. Can I use the MC6 to control the Looper parameters like Reverse, Octave up, etc... without changing what the footswitches do on the Stomp itself?
Thank you in advance!
Hi, the answer is yes to your above 2 questions. Cheers!
Great video!! Please do a similar one with the MC3!! ...and how about a limited edition white version!?
Hi! All our controllers function exactly the same way, so there is no difference in setting the MC3 up. They only differ in terms of number of switches, screen size and I/Os. Please refer here for our product comparison chart: www.morningstarfx.com/compare-products
If I want to always use the Mc6 for snap shots do I have to program every preset on the MC or can I program one and have it always work on snapshots?
Hi, each snapshot on the HX stomp corresponds with a specific CC message. Details can be found here (pg 48): line6.com/data/6/0a020a4010c935bb66a4c0c44f/application/pdf/HX%20Stomp%20Manual%20-%20English%20.pdf
I've never used midi before, but I'm planning on buying an HX stomp soon. Is it also possible to use the MC6 for snapshot (or a combination of stomp/snapshots)?
I also have a Strymon Bigsky. Is it possible to switch presets/banks on both devices, using a single switch?
Super helpful video and easy to follow, so thank you!
The HX Stomp can only hold a max of 3 snapshots per preset
This applies even if you're using an external control unit like the Morningstar
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Yes it is possible. Every switch on the MC6 is fully programmable so they can perform whatever function you want. Each switch on the MC6 can send up to 16 MIDI messages with a single press, so switching presets/banks on multiple devices can be done easily.
Line 6 hard coded snapshot recall to MIDI CC#69, value 0 = snapshot 1, val 1 = ss 2, val 2 = ss 3, val 8 = next ss, val 9 = prev ss.
Set a switch to toggle on and send a message over MIDI CC#69 and then pick the values of which 2 of the 3 snapshots you wanna toggle between positions 1 and 2. You can also assign any range of parameters to any or every one of your effects to any MIDI CC# that Line 6 hasn't reserved to toggle between min and max values. MIDI CC programmability unlocks near unlimited potential of digital gear beyond preset navigation that lets you perform without having to dance on the level of Fred Astaire.
I Love the mc6. One Question though:
1. I switch on my Comp in Sound 1A on the Helix
2. I change directly to Sound 1B on the Helix
3. MC6 still shows CompON - but in Sound 1B Comp ist actually off
4. I have to presse the Comp switch on the MC6 2 Times to switch in on again (because Toggle 2 sends Value 0).
Is there any workaround? I tried bypassing ALL Fx on the HX Stomp and sending on messages with the preset, but still sometimes I have to press twice which is confusing.
Ideas?
Hi Bernd. Yes, we've added the bank clear toggle function in our latest firmware. That will get you what you want. Cheers!
@@MorningstarEngineering Please can you expand on how this helps (new to MIDI and considering an MC6). I'd like to use an external controller to switch on blocks on my Helix Floor and when I move to the next Patch in Helix I want the same block in that other patch to be on until I turn it off on the MC6 - is this possible? Seems similar to the question above but haven't been able to find any details on the Bank Clear Toggle function and how this might help. Many thanks.
I followed your direction step by step for the midi learn function. No matter if I have it set to midi none on the HX Stomp or an available midi cc number. When I press learn and the an available empty foot switch on the MC6... I get nothing. Is there a global setting I'm missing. I tried with 2 midi 5 pin cables both in and out of the HX Stomp and MC6. Still nothing. I'm able to program it on the web editor fine but do I need to prepare something on the editor first or something? Made setup 2 messages in toggle mode first, then leave the midi number blank. I'm just lost on what I'm doing wrong.

Hi, awesome kit - i have a question - when using the MC6 in block mode on a HX Stomp and i turn on the compressor (just an example) and then move patches on the HX Stomp the MC6 still says COMPON and i have to press the footswitch to turn off - i there a way this can be automated? so when the patch changes on the HXStomp it turns off the switches on the MC6 - thanks

Hi, when you change presets with the morningstar, is there always a sound hole between one presets and another or can you get the spillover? Thanks
Hi. The sound cutting out when switching presets is due to the HX Stomp's design. That happens regardless of whether you switch presets with MIDI or on the Stomp itself. To avoid that, you will need to use the HX Stomp snapshots to change your tone instead.
A quick question... rather than having alternating labels for buttons like CompON, BoostOFF... could you just have named them "Compress" and "Boost" and have them blink when they are engaged? Can you have more than one item blinking/not blinking? Thanks.
Hi Dave. Yes it can. The MC6 has a toggle blink function
Hello! This is from Brazil. It clears up a question I have about Morningstar.
I noticed that there is the MC6 with a light screen and others with a dark screen, is there any difference in model that can be distinguished by the screen?
Hi. From 2021, we moved to LCD screens with white backgrounds for the MC6 MKII. The Quality Control reject rate of the previous black ones was getting too high and we could not continue to use them. We changed all our product photos to reflect this change in color as well. Since then we've also had some customers ask how they can change their black screens to white (and vice versa). The white text on dark background was cool but the QC rejection rate was something we could no longer accept. This is not to be confused with the MC6 mk1, which also has a white on dark screen. Please email us if you need further clarification or confirmation.
I understood. Thanks for the clarifications. Success to you!
Hug from Brazil!
Does it require PC connection only during setting process or always to make MIDI controlling work?
Hi Alex NoireMusic The computer is just for quick and easy programming of the MC6 controller. Not required after your setup is done. You can choose to program with a computer or on the MC6 itself too. Cheers!
Sorry if this has already been asked but can the controller be programmed to change stomp ‘modes’, so the move back and forth between preset, stomp, snapshot mode etc.
Peter Danner The switches are all fully programmable. So it depends on you. You can have preset, stomp and snapshot switches all on the same MC6 bank or on different banks if you wish
Can I change the same parameter 4-5 times using different cc’s? I’m wanting to change delay subdivisions using only 1 delay block but use the mc6 to change it to 1/4, 1/8, .8th, etc.
Is that possible? Or can I only jump between two different parameters values?
Yes, you can. You can either use the 'CC Value Scroll' message type if the values you need to send are continuous, or the 'Preset Scroll' feature if they are not. We explain the latter in this video: czcams.com/video/VtSx68vfjS8/video.htmlsi=sjyFR6m1RNNQWdts
Is it possible to do what is done with the presets with the stomp in snapshot one so for example I could save a snapshot from 1a to one switch and save a snapshot from 1c to another? Or can I only switch between the 3 snapshots that are available in 1a?
Thanks
Hi Lee. The way snapshots work is they are activated for the current preset you are on. So you can recall whichever snapshot you want as long as you are at your desired preset. If you want to jump to a snapshot from one preset to another, you can send a PC message (to change presets) and then a CC message (to recall your desired snapshot), all with a single switch press. Cheers!
Is it possible to use 3 footswiches from HX Stomp in snapshopt mode and add 3 footswiches from midi controler to have 6 different snapshots that You can change by foot? (+ tuner, bank down, bank up -> in midi controler).
Hi, yes that is easily do-able.
Is this available in Europe?
Also the editor has changed from this video, example,Pos:1 only has -Clear-copy-past...how do you safe? The new software has no edit mode to save and escape..
Can MC6 send 2 different CC to 2 different midi devices with one singol button? I need to start&stop HX Looper and a Drum Station simultaneously.
Hi Yes, easily done. Each switch on the MC6 can send up to 16 different messages with one press. Cheers!
Can I set a button on the mc6 mkii to select a preset on my hx stomp and while also switching the bank on the mc6 mkii?
HI Matthew. Yes that can be easily done. Each switch on our controllers can send up to 16 MIDI messages at once. You just need one for the Stomp preset and one for bank change on the MC6.
Is it possible to have midi clock presets in it? Since I’m not a huge fan the tap dancing when I’m playing!
Hi! Yes, you can easily do that using the MC6 MIDI clock features.
Can I use this to control the helix rack? Thanks for the atenttion.
Yes you sure can. As long as the device you want to control has a MIDI implementation
Can i use the mc6 to access blocks n presets n all that but still use one of the footswitches on the hx stomp to access its tuner?
Yes
Is it all in cc 127 to all blocks?. In bypass selection?
Hi. Value 127 will engage a block and 0 will bypass it. It's the same for all effect blocks.
Can you change from block control to preset control and back again or have to choose only 1 task for the MC6?
Hi! Every MC6 switch is independent and can perform block control, preset control or parameter control. It's up to you. You can have a mix within one bank even. Cheers!
@@MorningstarEngineering I think the question they had, which is the same question I have: The video's first example showed block control and the second example showed preset control. Is there a way to program 6 blocks to control and then 6 presets to control and then somehow switch between the two MC6 preset "pages"? Also, can you have a 6 block control for more than one Stomp preset at a time? I think this looks really cool but I wouldn't find it that useful if I can only do 6 total things and the pedal doesn't adapt to context or let me switch preset pages based on the stomp preset or something like that.
Can I do the same thing ( all this examples ) with the strymons pedals like Bigsky, TimeLine...
Hi. Yes, our controllers work with any device that accepts MIDI.
Can mc6 controller be able to change the amps channel thru midi as well? If i want to change both preset on the stomp and amps channel, my amps is a blackstar s1 45 combo. Tnx
MrEphi123 i have the same question, i really want the hx stomp, but at the same time i need something that can change my amp channels with some fx of the stomp
Hi! Yes it can. The amp you stated supports MIDI switching so the MC6 can control it. Each switch can send up to 16 different messages at once. So yes you can control your stomps and amp simultaneously. Cheers!
Morningstar Engineering thank you!
Heya, is it possible to operate the HX stomp in snapshot view, while simultaneously operating the morning star in preset mode? This might just open a window of possibilities. Thank you.
Hi! Yes you can leave the HX Stomp in snapshot view and use the MC6 to recall presets on it. Alternatively, you can also use the MC6 to recall snapshots with simple CC messages.
Morningstar Engineering that is fantastic, already placed my order. Can’t wait to reap the benefits. Cheers.
Hi, this looks fantastic! One problem Ive had is I cant use my expression pedal with the stomp as all my footswitches have already been used. Can I use my expression pedal and say assign it it to footswitch 4 or 5 and then use the morningstar to control everything else?
Hi. Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. You want to use your expression pedal to control footswitches?
@@MorningstarEngineering Hi! (I wrote this at like 2am so I probably wasn't very coherent haha)
Sorry, what I meant is at the moment, I can't use my expression pedal with my HX stomp because all 5 footswitches. So I can't connect my expression pedal as well (as that takes up a much needed footswitch). If I get this midi controller, I'm guessing I would be able to assign my expression pedal to footswitch 4 or 5 (so I can use it) and the Morningstar would not have to be assigned to a certain footswitch to work?
@@joegriffithsmusic Sorry, I really tried but I still can't understand what you are saying. Would you like to send us an email?
@@MorningstarEngineering Sure!
@@joegriffithsmusic Thanks. Please send us an email at ‘help@morningstarfx.com’. We provide support from there. A service ticket will be created for you and we will be able to follow up easily.
And how do I put the preset change on hold if I jump from one bank to another? Thanks
Hi! Please send us an email at ‘help@morningstarfx.com’. We provide support from there. A service ticket will be created for you and we will be able to follow up easily.
can it ramp between the 2 CC values instead of jumping?
Hi. Yes, this is the video for you: czcams.com/video/JnbBQmYIzw8/video.html
Would this work with the HX Effects?
Hi. Yes it will! Our controllers work with all MIDI capable devices regardless of brand or model. Also, the HX Stomp and HX Effects have near identical MIDI CC implementations. So the way of working with each will be very similar.
The preset selection can't be relative to the current bank on the HX Stomp? Instead of having switches constantly refer to specific presets and reimplement banking in the MC6.
Hi, that's not the way presets work, regardless of which MIDI device you are using. A specific Program Change message will always call up a specific preset. This is because all preset slots are unique. Cheers!
Morningstar Engineering thanks for replying!
just got my MC6, this video was helpful, however I ran into a weird thing. when I toggle a channel "ON", the other channels show "off" on the screen, but on my stomp it's still engaged. for example, when I hit "A" and turn my effect "ON", it displays "AmbON"- but the other channels I've programmed show as "OFF"
A- AmbOn
B- "ChrOFF"
C- DlyOff
D- AmpOff
E- ImpOff
F- RvbOff
what did I do wrong?
Hi! You just need to switch the 'Clear Preset Toggles' function to Off. It is under bank settings on the MC6.
You should add a fat foot version, for those that need a little extra space between footswitches.
Hi! We have the MC8 for that. It has wider switch spacing.
Hi, I control my HX stomp via the MC6. Everything works fine, but there are issues with the tap tempo. When I tap in tempo via the MC6, the speeds above about 150 bpm are very inaccurate. I can hardly get out over 180 bpm. Entering the tap on the stomp is no problem.
Do you have any advice on how I can solve this problem ?
Hi! We've tested it with our HX Stomp and it is working well even up to the 200 to 240bpm range. Was your MC6 disconnected from the editor? You need to click on 'Disconnect MC6' for it to be able to send the messages fast enough for a bpm above 150. We faced the same issue as you when we had our MC6 connected to the editor. Give that a try, it should work! If it still doesn't, please send us an email at ‘help@morningstarfx.com’. We provide technical support from there. A service ticket will be created for you and we will be able to follow up easily.
@@MorningstarEngineering hey guys, that was the solution. Without editor connection everything works fine! Thanks! 😀
Can I program Presets Up and Down and Scroll A-B-C with the MC6 on the HX Stomp? Thanks!
Hi! Yes you can. You just need to program the switches on the MC6 to act as the HX Stomp's FS4 and FS5, and then choose what you want FS4/5 to control on the HX Stomp. Cheers!
@@MorningstarEngineering Thank you! I already have the Morningstar MC6 and I'm super happy with it. The ideal couple with the HX Stomp.
Great job! Cheers.
Can you jump between different midi functions on the fly? Or does it have to be set in the global setting?
The HX Stomp can receive midi messages to trigger any midi function at any time. Each switch on the MC6 can also be programmed to trigger whichever function you want, even within the same MC6 bank. Cheers!
Please do a tutorial for the Atomic Amplifire as well! :)
I'm looking for something simple to to change presets up/down on my Helix externally via midi, any ideas?
a simple stereo foot switch should do.
@ Please explain, which jacks accomodate this?
@@christianboddum8783 Not sure if you're still needing this but I think he was talking about the FS port. At least that's what it's called on my HX Stomp
Preset control 3:59
can I control all of this with a more traditional midi controller like the midi fighter twister? should be right, since midi is a universal standard but question is more like, can i switch banks and control effect parameters at the same time etc. . .
I'm bad at understanding a lot of this stuff, could this be used to control the hx stomp kinda like a pod pro where it can switch to a completely different preset with a different amp and effects? Like for example a clean fender type amp to a mesa amp sim or something.
Jkelly451 Yep for sure! That’s easily done
Will the mc6 works on eleven rack?
Hi. Yes, our MIDI controllers work with any device that accepts MIDI, regardless of brand or model. For more information check this page out: www.morningstarfx.com/features
How do I do tap tempo with this? I'm struggling to find an answer on Line 6 or Morningstar's site.
Hi Ben. The answer is the MC6 manual. Or you can drop us a help email and we'll take it from there!
Haha! You're right of course. I am an idiot.
The HX Stomp MIDI CC# for tap tempo is CC64. I'm guessing you set a switch toggle off, address CC#64 and set to a value greater than 63.
I have done Block Bypass for buttons a,b, and c. When i press button A, button B toggles as well. Same thing with C. This is incredibly frustrating. How can I make all 3 buttons independent from each other?
sounds like you might have put them in the same toggle group. just email us a photo of your settings in the editor and so we can see how you programmed it
@@MorningstarEngineering I set them all to independent. Will do.
I need help. I have to resign every time I turn on my stomp and also if I switch block and go back it is all u assigned. Help please
Hi. Sounds like you did not save your preset on your HX Stomp. You need to do that or else the settings will not be saved.
When you are controlling parameters, I have 3 questions.
1. Is cc16 a free cc in the U.S. Stomp?
2. Is the midi channel for the HX stomp channel 1?
3. Is the HX Stomp sending midi out to the MC6?
You don't mention any of these things.
Thanks your great product.
Hi.
1. Yes, CC #16 is free and unused on the Stomp
2. It is set to channel 1 in this video. But it can be on any channel you want. Check out this video on MIDI basics: czcams.com/video/JIzCEYvwt1M/video.html
3. In this video the Stomp is not sending any MIDI out to the MC6. If you'd like that to happen, watch this video we made explaining how to set up 2-way communication: czcams.com/video/7IF8gIMN4jA/video.html
Cheers!
@@MorningstarEngineering thanks.
Cool stuff but if you set reverb mix min and max on helix no need to do math. Min of 30% and max of 80. CC value of 127 tells helix 80%. CC value of 0 tells helix 30%.
Can I still edit the MC6 without using a computer?
yes, the MC6 has an in-built editor function
Morningstar Engineering cool👍🏽
Could you show us how to use the Looper on HX Stomp with the MC6 2? I just got both devices and this video really helped. I just tried to get the looper going with the MC6 but was not successful. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi! MIDI CC implementation for the looper can be found in the HX Stomp manual here (pg 49): line6.com/data/6/0a020a4010c935bb66a4c0c44f/application/pdf/HX%20Stomp%20Manual%20-%20English%20.pdf
Nice controller but doesn't come with sysex? Or maybe hx don't have.
Hey! You can send sysex messages with the MC6 as well but it wasn't shown in the video as the HX Stomp does not use sysex. Check out the MC6 MIDI message types here: morningstar-engineering.github.io/MC6-MKII-Midi-Controller/site/glossary/07-midi-type-glossary/
having a line of Strymons and thinking of controlling it via MIDI I am starting to realise it's easier to buy a Helix Floor.
The mc6 looks great but I find it a bit expensive so I don't really understand :( with the prices of the hx + the mc6 you can get a helix... More controls, no extra cables, all in one... Can someone explain please?
You might want to use external pedals with the stomp. To save blocks on my stomp, I use an external reverb and delay in the stomp's loop, which can both be MIDI controlled.
I believe it’s more of a preference thing. Some people (like myself) just prefer to use the HX stomp with a regular pedalboard. I mainly use my stomp for the Cab and amp sim as well as modulations and some extra stuff but I have my own delay, reverb, overdrives, etc. Because I just prefer it that way. If it’s easier for you to just get the helix then go for it! It’s all up to you my friend!
I bought mc6 mkII but i still cannot use it with my strymon pedals there is no understanable tutorial how to setup with other pedals, how to connect how to set presets
Hi Teko. Check out our blog, there's lots of good information for beginners there: www.morningstarfx.com/blog
Hi,
Do you have sa video of MC6 with GTcore 1000? TIA
Hi. We have a GT-1000 Core video with the MC3, but the methods and settings are the same if you are using the MC6: czcams.com/video/SAxQemsuLCs/video.htmlsi=KrznsmzYg3gTzle1

Cloud I use this midi control with stomp without pc and mac?(only got iPhone and iPad)
Yes, all the settings can be edited on the device Itself without a computer.
So, Can I have 6 presets with the morningstar?
You can have many more than that! There are 30 banks with 12 presets in each (two pages of 6 in each bank). You can basically program as many presets and functions as you'd like
Can you set this up without the use of a computer?
Yes you surely can! But using a computer to name the presets is much easier because you have a keyboard. For everything else, using the controller itself is a breeze. Cheers!
Hate to be that guy and this would never make a legitimate difference but if you wanted 80% of a parameter you’d do .8*128 and subtract one from that product to get your cc value.
My mk 1 is not capable Of this ,?
The MC6 MK I is capable of doing everything shown in the video, however the way to program it will be different (refer to the Mk I manual on our website). Also, the MC6 MK II has more advanced features like action-based control, with which you can send different midi messages depending on what action you perform on a switch (press, long press, double tap and more).
this didn't work for me any help would be really cool

I got my Helix LT for 700€. The stomp + the MS cost above 800€ together, and the Helix LT has more processing power.
Yes, this solution is more compact but not as capable as the LT (which also has a Pedal)
DerDuke1981 I use this setup as it is much more compact
I just bought this, and when I hook up the MC6II it does not show the name in the editor, it just says Disconnect device ,also you ship the pedal without ANY manual...really?...then if I go on line there is no downloadable manual ,CZcams video's are great, but your actual support of the product,is questionable
Can I send a pc and cc message in one switch press? To switch from preset to another, on particular snapshots.And if I changed to another snapshot with the same preset number, but I still wanted the pc message sent (in case I was coming from another preset), would it reload the preset again?
Hi Leonardo. Yes you can do that easily. Each switch on our controllers can send up to 16 different MIDI messages at once. Cheers!
