All user reviews for the Rocktron Midi Xchange

Voila, a little opinion on the Xchange.

So Premire, the Xchange, nest not so small a.

Slamming the buttons well as it should, and even for me, well, cest Gnant enough ..

How it works, frankly not nest IDAL. There are only the RECALL switch to send MIDI messages, the switch UP and DOWN are only to select the preset that you are going to juggle the RECALL switch. So a CASC easy presets only 2 ..

Here, personal, jai t trsdu by this device and jai alenvoyeur look back now, I can imagine that this mode can satisfy many of the guitarist and Opinion commits me

Here, I put 5 because I think that this device comes into its own with the material Rocktron .... I did, for my part, that tests with JMP-1 and POD ....

I have this controller twelve o'clock for a while and I do not have much to complain about ...
the only thing I "regret" is that it is not self-powered but good considering the price, do not dream!

I bought it when my multi-effect pedalboard / midi fails is because I switch channels on my head amp / effects with the Rocktron .... works fine, do not ask him no more more ... qualify for the previous opinion, Rocktron offers a "real" MIDI foot controller, MIDI mate, but the price is not the same .... it will not compete with itself by offering twice the same thing at different prices!

I would not buy the Xchange controller for racks and change four times preset by piece, are not intended ca ... It must be considered as it is a simple switch A / B and more that can control a patch associated to the channel of the amp ... the one is not disappointed ...

I was looking for a small portable MIDI footswitch (for rehearsals, concerts ...) and has two expression pedals to control the volume and wah-wah my Rocktron Voodu Valve. Yet this type of pedal is generally monstrous, with 10 or 15 footswitches and 70cm wide ... (See Behringer ...).

I came across this little pedal Rocktron Xchange to 3 switches and ports for two expression pedals. The corresponding MIDI pedalboard to my expectations (if we add two expression pedals):
- Small, easy to carry;
- Red luminescent display prominently on stage;
- Works with a 9V battery (fournie! lol) or phantom power supply via the MIDI cable (be careful, though to a 7-pin MIDI cable for phantom power supply), or via a standard 9V adapter
- Three footswitches: one "up", a "down" and "recall" to recall its basic
- As you scroll through the sounds, scrolling speeds up automatically after four increments;
- Possibility to connect two expression pedals on ports 7 and 17 (to set up your amp), which is what I wanted to run the volume (absolutely essential for me) + the wah-wah or gain ( we get some interesting). You can plug any expression pedal, but it is best to choose a pedal with stereo output (to limit the number of cables ...) and not fed (again to avoid the number of cables!) .

Obviously, the switches are the old, and thus make a little noise when the triggers ... But honestly, it is especially evident when playing at home, or in concert again, you hear nothing because the surrounding noise ...

So a very good switch, solid and safe. I put 8 / 10 because it only allows to move from one patch to another (do not expect to control the effects of your PREAM!) And because we would have liked the pedal is supplied with a 7-pin MIDI cable (purchased separately ... and it's expensive at Rocktron!).
PS = I think the person who posted the notice of the bottom had a lot of bad luck falling on a defective model, damaged by the Post Office?!

REPS = the picture is really not beneficial ... Mine is shiny black, it looks better already!!


** EDIT **
After several months of use, I confirm that the product is robust and practical, it is not a MIDI foot controller, mind you, but actually a simple switch, as mentioned above ... There it fulfills its role.

For specifications, see below.

I bought this pedal until they offer me a more "sexy" for my Axe FX. It proved the right choice.

The small size and robustness are two important criteria for me and the MIDI XChange excels. I associate him an expression pedal footswitch Hex and a small homemade sending CC (well, one, 17 in this case) to enable / disable the effects on my Axe FX.

In short, here is a simple and effective tool that should not be taken for what it is not. It is primarily a compact solution for those who do not play the tap (or at least a little, but recall the last preset helps a lot).

And note the great support Rocktron who helped me to build my footswitch!
