The Kenton Spin Doctor arrived today! This is in theory the last piece of the puzzle apart from the case, for RIG-1. This is a well built MIDI controller that I wanted specifically to extend the live-control options of the EMX-1. This means in theory I can now have dedicated control over CC values per channel and tie that up with the 5 synths of the EMX. The only problem is that you can't do advanced edit using just the unit, you need to use a bit of software to create and upload the custom profile and I don't have a USB-MIDI interface. Anyway, that's next steps, for now I plugged it in and used the factory stuff, up and running really quickly it all just worked. A great functional unit from Kenton (who I got my MIDI-THRU box from) in a metal case, not plastic. The weight is increasing all the time, something else I didn't really factor in with old gear. The EMX is particular is quite heavy, hope the pedal board and Velcro can handle it.
