The Tech 21 MIDI Moose

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

I finally received this controller and got it running with my notebook 
effects/looping system.  I love this little thing! It is perfect for 
traveling, if you don't want to pack a large and heavy MIDI controller 
around. As you can see below, it is very small, smaller than the EDP 
controller, I believe.  Plus, it can operate on a 9 volt battery for 200 
hours.

It only has 5 program change buttons (hence the small size/width), so you 
use the UP and Down button to scroll from 1-5 to 6-10, 7-15, and so on (a 
bank has five buttons). I am using it to control Mobius right now, and I 
will bring it to Y2K6.  I did some re-mapping of my buttons to Mobius to 
conserve.  I now do a Reset and Undo from the Mobius control panel, rather 
than the MIDI controller, as I tend to do these things while not playing 
anyway. I mapped Record, Overdub, Multiply, Next Loop, and Mute to program 
changes 1-5, and then Reverse, Half Speed, Insert on 6-8.  Haven't decide 
on 
9-10 yet, probably some cool Mobius scripts.

Cheers,

Kris
