XSonic Airstep - First Look 

Those gordius units are amazing.

@@LeonTodd Yes, indeed! But Xavier doesn't make them anymore. I have had mine for so long now that I'm amazed it has never crapped out on me. I went through three Behringer FCB1010 before the Gordius and each of them died after exactly three years. The Gordius truly rocks. I have found though that when working with non-quantized live-looping the analog pedal inputs of the AxeFxII is faster and more musically accurate. Envelopes follow expression pedal sweeping better over CV than over MIDI.

Can it be a contender against a RJM mastermind?

Are you using mainstage ? You can control anything in there even vst controls ? You can run multiple expression pedals with midi I/o ? Have you seen those ? 😎 expression pedals via usb ?

christopher short, A quick search on Mainstage, the Apple software for OS X. I’m using PC, FL Studio which lacks the powerful support the Apple environment provides. Probably why I am having difficulty accessing plugin automation features as well. USB Exp pedals, I don’t have enough extra USB ports after external SSD drives holding sample libraries. Could always consolidate there to get the port free. Was interested in MIDI Exp pedals, which are part of my X-15 pedal board, the integration of those into the DAW. FL has upgraded and I should try again, maybe they fixed its function. I’m using a Roland UM-One USB/MIDI cable to get MIDI from the X15 footswitch into the DAW. Was experimenting with the features such as patch changes programmed from the DAW to automate patch change commands, and that was tedious learning, but sound similar to what Mainstage does successfully. Thank you for responding, controlling the PC environment from MIDI has been troublesome for me. ;)

Solar Guitar Studio Get mainstage - £29.00 ! Give it a go I use 3 exp pedals over usb to control vst in mainstage I have a fishman triple play playing soft synths and also clean guitar through Fm3 in parallel Sounds fabulous ? I am thinking of going helix rack as the midi in FM3 is aweful ! 😎

Might be a good chance to give the AA some airtime in the full demo!

if you can use a MIDI CC or PC to do it, then yes! I love the USA Lead Mid gain model in the FM3 :)

In this example I'm using midi out from the airstep. However, if you have this together with airstep light you can leave the main airstep wired in via midi on your rack or board and then use the lite to wirelessly control all of that.

You can set up hold functions, so all 8 scenes are accessible

@@LeonTodd Thanks Leon ...You Rock Brother !!!!

@@LeonTodd So the Bluetooth connects to your phone and does it need a bluetooth to midi cable to connect to the FM3 or just simple midi to midi ?

Thank you

;)

What about the extender ? Remote control 🤩

Midiot, yeah. That's me. lol

This is actually perfect for midiots! The preset modes cover most of what you need

Leon Todd ok I will check it out for my FM3. But I’m really clueless with midi. I tried understanding it once but never actually used it. This is def intriguing to me. It’s a small footprint and I can see it right below my FM3 on a board.

Yeah, me too! 😂😂
