First unofficial firmware release for TB-12 is now available! Many thanks to GM Arts for amazing ideas and implementation! More about this release on BJ Devices wiki.
Some updates for Kemper users - KPA support was added to library. I have added all available parameters address, and implement a set of functions to get access to parameters address and values. Example demonstrate how to initialize bidirectional communication with KPA, get rig and performance names, IA states, and how to send change requests to KPA. Also simple logger was added. Controller have usb port, which is USB-COM interface, and it is determined by the operating system as COM port, so you able to send debug messages to PC terminal and working with MIDI simultaneously. Sometimes it helps in debugging. Some bugs fixed also. https://github.com/BurenkovS/bjdevlib
We start taking pre-orders for TB-11P from 1st of April at a reduced price - $265 instead of $310. Don't miss the chance!
TB-11P is the first MIDI controller by BJ Devices with built-in expression pedal. TB-11P is one of Travel Box Series controllers and it takes the best advantages of this series - the small size and wide functionality. TB-11P has new top and back print view and improved hardware.
What's new:
- Expression Pedal with multifunctional 3-color LED lines - Power from the USB. - Standard input polarity expression pedals (tip-to-viper instead of the previously used ring-to-viper). You can now use almost any expression pedal without cable modification. - Automatic reset when upgrading the firmware. There is no need to turn off and turn on the power while updating the firmware.

BJ Devices TB-12 and TB-5 midi controllers is now open for all developers to create alternative firmware!Many peoples try to build midi contollers based on arduino or other platform, but the only problem is a make housing and reliable PCB without a tangle of wires. So now you have strong metal case with 12 or 5 reliable buttons, LCD screen, MIDI in, MIDI out connectors, 2 expression pedal connections, 2 relays output with total 4 relay
I'm aware that, in Performance Mode, one can send MIDI PC numbers to two different external devices via two independent MIDI channels, but I only want to send them once for each performance.
TB12 able to send upto 2 different PC messages, no any problem to send just one message and switch on any performance.
If I look at Performance Mode as each Performance representing a specific song, am I right in thinking I would enter the the MIDI information only into Slot 1 of each performance and not enter any MIDI info in the remains Slots?
What do you mean "enter the the MIDI into Slot"? In TB-12 you able to set any Program Change number to any button and enter to any slot of any performance by one button push. If you don't need others slots except slot 1, just don't attach this Program Change numbers to buttons.
If you able to use Control Change #16 instead of several control change messages for each stomp, you can pay attention on BJ Devices TB-12 or TB-5 midi controllers. It support bidirectional communication with KPA and you can assign any CC or PC numbers on one button.
For what its worth, if I did <b>need </b>a looper, <b> I wouldn't hesitiate </b>getting the Kemper Remote <b>regardless of its cost.</b>
All the best, Ben

HI Gents, my name is Sergey. I'm software developer in BJ Devices. We have added new feature in latest firmware version (2.4pb) - NRPN midi messages, so customers able to control looper, but with no back pressure(you can not see looper status). see short manual
