Harley Benton MP-100 MIDI Foot Controller 4-stars Reviews

Love it.

Good solid little midi peddle. Could use more banks though, otherwise great.

Great for the money

For a cheap switcher it seems good... Seems buggy sometimes though. Not super reliable

Nice unit, but not very handy to power

It's a nicely built unit with nice functions, but relying on batteries or a thick usb cable for power is really not ideal.

Good quality for a low price

The overall quality o the MP-100 is really nice. It's well built and sturdy. The initial setting was relatively easy. I haven't tried it with an Axe FX, Kemper etc, but with some guitar plugins, connected to my laptop via usb cable, since my interface didn't support midi. I don't have any experience with something more expensive from another brand, but it fulfills its purpose more than anticipated.

Does what is does at a good price!

I ordered this HB MP-1000 to use with my BIAS FX plugins.

The BIAS FX template has already been loaded into the midi pedal, so it was practically a plug'n'play affair. Programming the pedal from the BIAS FX plugin is a piece of cake.

The only thing (still) bugging me is when I restart my PC I'm always unsure if the midi pedal will respond to the plugin again. So I really cannot say at this moment if it's an issue with my plugin or with the midi controller.

The only minor thing I can mention about the controller itself are the caps underneath the floor controller. They're are made of some kind of hard plastic and do not have enough friction to the floor to keep the controller from sliding away on non-carpetted floors

So in conclusion in my case: when it works, it does exactly what it supposed to do. No lag, no delay, responds very well.

Does everything it says.

I purchased this unit as a near final piece to downsizing my live rig - Bias FX Mobile on iPad. An added benefit is the battery compartment that can hold rechargeable batteries.

Everything that was described works as it should, although it took a little while to figure out how to power the device for use with Bias FX.

The only complaint that I have is that this unit does not provide power at the MIDI Out Port for use with a wireless MIDI dongle.

This was an excellent, affordable, product from Harley Benton that is less expensive than the original product ( MA ).

Versatile and solid

Very versatile if you want it to be, works just as you'd expect if you use a mode tied to your software (like BIAS).

Pros:

The switches are good, the display is okay, not the best looking but bright and clear.

The build quality is really solid, as it's not a flimsy plastic case."

Cons:

The USB port on the back is not very tight. There is no problem with the connection, and it doesn't feel like it's going to break, but you can definitely wiggle the cable, and if you want to use it live you need to protect the back of the unit, the connectors seem fragile. It would've been great to see some kind of locking mechanism instead of letting the connectors themselves take the brunt of any damage.

Good product!.

I use it mainly with Bias Fx2, and works near flawlessly. I also use it with an expression pedal and have no problem with that connection. The only problem i have that sometimes does not register klick, and this is my only problem with this controler
