Harley Benton MP-100 MIDI Foot Controller 5-stars Reviews

Exactly what I needed

Works great with BIAS FX on iPad. Just had to purchase a small adapter to plug both the iRig HD 2 interface and this midi controller to my iPad and the it works like a charm. The default settings for BIAS FX works well out of the box, and you can easily assign any button to any function/pedal. Worth every penny.

Nice MIDI Controller

Sturdy built with low noise switches. The programming possibilities leaves something to desired like for example no way to set momentary switches, BUT, you can use the firmware from another similar controller on the market to enable that and FYI, it works just fine.

Reliable device

Built as tank and easy to set it up to work with my kemper in performance mode. Needless to say that it is possible to use with plain AAA batteries. I changed them after 4 rehearsals - at 4 hours use per rehearsal. No delays upon switching presets. Lots of options I/O

great

just know what it can and can't do

Plug n Play

No driver required, this Midi Foot Controller just works right away

Sturdy and useful MIDI controller

Everything about this controller is quality - the build, the packaging, the way it feels. I use it with BiasFx and it’s absolutely awesome. It also comes with all sorts of connectivity options so there’s nothing else I could ask for.

I was looking for a footswitch for my Synergy Syn2 and since the original one wasn't available, I found this and bought it and it does the job well. It's well made, sturdy and good-looking, although it's quite a hassle to set it up and the manual is written in a way that's not really understandable and I find it confusing so I needed to find YouTube videos to figure out how to set it. The only feature I find annoying is that one can't (or at least I couldn't figure out how to) set the footswitches to activate the channels on the Synergy with just one pressing and to have the LED active at the same time. It seems that it works only with the on/off setting which would require a double pressing each time.

Works pretty good for what I need it for

I've tried using it with every single guitar amp sim plugin and it works really great. Not just for what it supports out of the box. For instance, the PC-8 mode works really great for Neural DSP program changes and the customizable presets are great for TH-U or even Helix Native.

Go and buy it!!! i connected to my PC, i changed sounds easily!!i connected it to my ipad and Bias 2 and it worked perfect!!! only 122€!!!! come on!!!! only with the amp didn't check it because my head doen't have midi,but i'm sure will work with any amp that has midi!! Only time will prove me wrong or not.

The best midi controller

This is cheap, small footprint for 10 buttons, works well and quite reliable. I have 5 of them, get one if you need a midi contorller!

Top quality stuff

This thing is amazing. I have to say that it works with ANYTHING and although it could use with some editing software on a PC to make it easier, it is very programmable internally.

It is missing a few more complex functions, like editing min/max values for CC Toggle, but at this price point there's basically nothing that will do more than this.

I've been using it for controlling the Neural DSP plugins and it works like a charm.

One thing to look out for is expression pedals. This product does not contain the ability to calibrate expression pedals, so you need something that works out of the box. The Lead Foot LFX-1 works but will reach max value too early. In my experience, the pedal that works perfectly is the Moog EP3, putting the bottom switch to "Other" mode.

Overall, a beast unit

Great footswitch

Works perfectly with my Axe FX II, with lots of programming options. The build quality is fantastic, and the metal chassis is very sturdy and built to last years of gigging.

My only complaint is the fact that recharging batteries via the USB port can be a bit flaky, so you're best using a dedicated battery dock.

Excellent footswitch

Great footswitch. I used it with Ableton Live and had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommended!

Easy and cheap!

I bought this midi foot controller for my Kemper.

I never had one before, so I was a little worried about connections and setup.

I had some issues at the very beginning because the user's manual (only in english and german) does not say anything at all about Kemper or other devices connections.

BUT I have to say about kemper, I have connected the midi cable to the MIDI IN on the Kemper, and everything has worked, even if the display on the controller says "JAMP"....Once you are in the performer mode on the kemper and you have your rigs in it, everything will be very easy.

If you want to set the KMPA on the display you will have to keep the button "C" pressed and then turn it on ( I write this, because NOWHERE it is written in the manual or online).

I made a video review here if interested:

The controller is quite heavy and solid.

The buttons work well, but they "sound" cheap when you press them.

The midi and usb cable provided in the box are no more than 2 meters long.

VERY GOOD CONTROLLER if you want to be cheap!

My favorite piece of equipment

I use this wonderful foot controller whenever I'm at home and play with a VST. I can control everything I want with this pedal and I love it. It makes my life so much easier and let's me play around with effects i wouldn't use without it. There's just so much more variety in the songs I play now.

The quality is really good for the price, but for a short amount of time, one of the stompers didn't trigger... The problem fixed itself somehow. Beside that there's absolutely nothing negative for me to say.

Bang for your buck

I'm using this to switch my amplifier and rack, just basic 8 presets. I had the Behringer FCB and wanted something smaller.

It's cheap, small, shows the presets clearly. When I first started I had the idea one of the buttons wasn't always working, but now it works fine. I like the feel of them.

The USB powering is a bit weird, but mine is next to my computer so it's no problem.

In short, it just does what you need it to do with a small footprint.

Very easy to use midi board

I use this for Bias fx2 and Nural Plini. Easy setup and works flawlessly with reaper and the two standalone clients i use.

Good build quality with aluminium and solid switches.

Kemper

Use it for Kemper. After selecting configuration for Kemper, worked like charm. 3 stomp buttons within preset (1,2,3) are togling on/off Tuner, Boost and Delay. Stock settings are perfect. Also, everything is configurable if stock settings dont work for you
