BLACKSTAR LIVE LOGIC
By Chris Gill
GUITAR WORLD PLATINUM AWARD
MENTION THE WORD “MIDI” to most guitarists and their eyes will glaze over as if you were suddenly speaking to them in Mandarin Chinese. The problem is that the vast options and flexibility that MIDI programming affords musicians can seem unbearably complicated compared to the straightforward, “plug and play” approach provided by most traditional guitar gear. Programming a MIDI controller to get everything in a rig to work together can be a daunting proposition, particularly with controllers that require alpha-numeric hex code programming, but with the introduction of the Blackstar Live Logic foot controller the process just became a whole lot simpler. Blackstar Live Logic can control MIDI hardware devices like amps and pedals, software like DAWs and plug ins and even integrate hardware and software, but it’s very easy to setup and program thanks to its free graphic editing software.
