These days you can of course do midi over USB, so the BIAS amp head must have the midi plugs there for convenience. They should have stuck with midi format IMHO unless transfering a large IR file or something. When USB came along, it seems manufacturers reinvented the wheel and started using proprietary formats for editing their amps and modellers. Same with an Alesis QS6.2 keyboard/synth I have.
#Using positive grid bias amp software software#
It was used to load/save presets, and had software to edit with. It was before USB was used on everything. I have an old Digitech Genesis 3 tabletop modeler (I think it took place of the Johnson J-Station when Digitech bought them out). it would open a whole new world of possibilities with a midi input on an amp. May not work for jam sessions, but for that you could intervene and take control with any midi foot controller you want, like the Behringer FCB1010.Īgree.
Imagine not ever having to step on a pedal again! Just play, and your amp instantly goes to the settings you need.
With midi input on an amp, you could let the midi track switch presets, or effects on and off, change volume, or even change the amp's gain during the song. I've been looking to sync everything with midi tracks, and also looking at midi light controllers for RGB LED lights.
I don't gig anymore, but have a music room with PA, and even a projector with 100" screen for visuals. Not near as many as you have yet, but I've been collecting and recording them. I think every modeling amp should have midi.
