Rocktron Midi Raider

    Thomann is now looking dubious, musik productiv is now not quoting a in stock date anymore. it's a shame that the supply chain seems to be the issue as it looks to be a great unit at an amazing price. I want to get a midi controller ASAP so I can start programming and setting up my rig. Have tried to order a liquid foot + controller but they are out of stock too! Not having much luck at all. I can see why the ground control pro is so popular as they have their supply chain sorted.


    Anyone here using a Liquid foot + series controller with the kemper?

    I also looked at the liquid foot thing... it looks cool but at the price and shipping from Australia its a bit too much for a midi pedal so I opted for the Rocktron on features/price range.
    I used Ground Control for ages (and still do) but thats a different rig and I wanted to review the Midi Looper 8. With the midi raider it will just work... and you can stack the control changes on one pedal push. GC is limited in that area I think.
    The LF looked good for that also, but the price was wrong for me.

    Careful I'm watching you...

    I have two patch mate 8's for review any time when I get the pedal.... I usually use Ground Control GCX but the pedal has more options than the GC Pro so I opted to use these instead for a review I'm doing about a whole rack and how to build it. I don't intend to go to every last piece of info, just enough to get guys doing their own.


    It should be fun... I waited 2 1/2 months for the pedal. It shipped today so should be good for the weekend and filming :)


    But if this stuff is crappy trust me I'll be saying so. The wait right off the bat was really bad.

    Careful I'm watching you...

    Yeah, I found it bad enough waiting a month for this so I can imagine how you feel! What do you have going into your rack? I'm currently putting one together built around my Kemper.


    So Far I have - Samson Powerbrite, Korg DTR-2000 rack tuner, Kemper Profiler, pedal tray with Whammy 5, Keeley Fuzz and a Kenton Midi Thru.


    Next to get and put in are some sort of midi loop switcher and a Line 6 rack wireless if I can get a good deal somewhere used.

    That all sounds cool.


    I purposely bought new and second hand kit to mix what people use out there - here's the list:


    1. Powerbrite newest model


    2. Lexicon MX300 effects


    3. TC G Force and Artist card


    4. Sonic Maximiser 462 stereo (or read two channel)


    5. Rocktron Patchmate 8


    6. AKG DMS70 Quattro Wireless System.


    and probably some pedals around the back of the rack permanently setup. Lastly a Dumbell 8 lbs... but I'll save the funny bit until the video - you will just have to guess what that's about :)


    Its not actually much to do with Kemper but this thread I don't really think is about Kemper its about midi pedals and stuff.


    In any case I had so many guys contacting me about the TriAxis rack I used to have and wiring etc I just decided to make this rack as an example for ordinary guys like myself. There was certainly the demand for it even if the TriAxis is not in there.


    Lots of guys seem to get all mixed up with racks. And the lean these days towards single pedals is getting sick.... Pay eight times as much as for the rack unit and get sounds that are at best a compromise because the pedals are from eight different companies.


    Anyway that's my take on the thing to date. Probably a few weeks before its all edited and on video.


    I guess you would be able to adopt it for Kemper - we shall see.

    Careful I'm watching you...
