Boss MS-3 - How to use MIDI

In this video, we’ll be showing you how to control MIDI capable pedals using the MS-3.

Thanks for watching!

Will the MS3 change amp channels through midi?

[VinodSeer]

Thanks for the great video. I’ve watched this few years back and it helped me to use this with my G Major 2. Now… I’ve got a Kemper Player. Can the ms-3 work with the Kemper player? Preferably midi over usb. If not… possible to set patches to control both G Major 2 and Kemper player?

Can you direct me to any videos just like this one for using the ES-8 to access all the channels on the DD-500? So far I've scoured the web and only found a few, nothing that can help me program any channels past 37 or so. Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to control the TC Electronic Ditto x4 with the MIDI on the MS-3. All I need it to do is stop a loop. The ditto has MIDI in, and I've seen people make it do exactly what I want, but never with the MS-3. Does ANYONE know how to do that? I can't get it to work.

How do I assign MIDI channel on the Boss 500 series? I'm so new to this and there's not any example on this on youtube on the Boss-500 pedals on where/how to do this and the manual doesn't say anything about it either. I'm not gonna dig in to the advanced stuff on the Es-8 or the Boss-500 pedals. I bought it only to retrieve patch setting from differn't presets from the pedals on the ES-8. I wonder if you could make a simple video with multiple boss pedals on how to do this.

Can you set these so that user patch one sets the a side of the eq 200 to preset? User patch 2 on ms3 would set the eq200s a side to preset 2? User 3 to preset 3 etc? I want to use 4 basses that all have drastic output differences. I want a present per bass on the ms3 that automatically selects the eq preset

[kranklife]

If I have an expression pedal connected to the MS3, could I control a wah in a separate effects processor via midi?

[marcelstannard]

So i want to use my MS-3 to control my Adrenlinn 3, BigSky, H9 and Hx effects via Midi, is this possible?

[johnstudiob]

can it be use to control functions on the roland fa06 work station

[toninocampiti]

I need help please... i'm not able to programm via midi my mooer ocean machine with my ms-3. May I have a little help by you? Many thanks

[pablohernandezmolina]

is it possible to control jvm 410H's channel, master, loop and reverb switching via Midi through MS3? I can't figure out how to make it. Thank you

Does anyone know how to change banks with Midi control for DD-500?

[KKMDStyle]

Ugh, I hate menu diving on teeny tiny devices. Devices get smaller and add more and more features, but more and more complex to operate on the fly. I’d like to see classic boss stomp pedal with just the right updates to improve sound and capabilities but still, easy to use. We want to focus on musical, expression not become technicians.

[bobbyc]

Thanks for getting back to me can you show using all 500 pedals like md 500 dd500 rv500 into ms3 unit using midi on and board doing midi changes

[TimOost]

Great! The ms-3 is such an amazing tool, it really is at the center of everything I do on guitar. I've been using it for quite a while now and I still find out new things to do with it regularly. Hadn't dived into midi yet but it seems dead simple to do. Thanks!

[martinWross]

hey guys ! great video ! is it possible to send 2 different midi messages to 2 different midi devices on 1 button ?

[BrenQ]

It may be necessary to send Austin to my house. This is proving to be wildly complicated, but I want it to work so badly.

[manifestgtr]

Midi was such an indescribable game changer for me when I started implementing it a few years back. I don’t even use it’s “deeper” functions...I use it to change delay/modulation patches with my es-8 and it’s STILL been unbelievable. Being able to have entire banks filled with mod sounds, ambient sounds and “dinner set sounds” is unreal. It literally gives you the ability to build, arrange and save an entire effects chain. I wish I had known that ten years ago...it would’ve made my gigging life soooo much easier

[JohnnyOskam]

Can you assign the current number to issue another program change or is it only capable of sending a control change?

[mcswordfish]

Can it be configured to send more than one PC per patch? I'm thinking of a scenario where I can control both my amplifier channel and the preset on an external effects-unit with two separate PC values - can this be done?
