Morningstar Engineering MC8 Pro MIDI Controller
Step into the ultimate MIDI foot controller experience. MC8 PRO pushes everything you love about our pro controllers even further. New high-def displays ignite punchy text, icons and bold colors for next-level visual clarity, while native Bluetooth MIDI delivers wireless freedom.
More Switches, Less Scrolling.
MC8 PRO's 8 foot switches serve up instant access to your presets, functions and effect parameters. The less you need to scroll through banks, the better.
Cut Cables, Keep Control.
With BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) MIDI, MC8 PRO is wireless out-of-the-box, ready to pair with your computer or mobile device. Connect to the Morningstar Editor, control your favorite music software, or pair with wireless MIDI adaptors for complete, untethered freedom.
Big Screens for Big Moments.
There's no room for second-guessing when you're on stage or recording that perfect take. 70% larger screens give you more space to see what matters — bank & preset names, switch states, BPM and more — all at a glance.
Pixel Perfect.
MC8 PRO's screens are 20% brighter with 2x the pixel density. Crystal-clear visual feedback inspires confidence for your every move.
No Bad Angles.
MC8 PRO's new displays ensure excellent visibility from all directions. Whether you're right on top of MC8 PRO or stepping away for crowd interaction, you'll always have a clear view.
Well Connected.
Built to interface with just about anything. MC8 PRO plays nice, whatever your setup. A full suite of MIDI ports — DIN5, TRS (type A and B switchable), USB (device and host) — guarantees seamless compatibility across modern and classic gear.
Form Follows You.
MC8 PRO packs 4 assignable Omniports, each ready to be whatever your rig needs. Configure them as MIDI Outputs, Aux Switch Inputs or Expression Pedal Inputs. The perfect controller doesn't ask you to adapt — it adapts to you.
Doesn't Stop at MIDI.
Dual TRS Relay Ports unlock amp channel switching, analog tempo control and control over any device that accepts external aux switches. If it takes a pulse, you're in control.
Ready for Adventure.
MC8 PRO is set to embark on the next musical journey with you. Engineered to handle anything you throw at it, MC8 PRO is the ultimate companion for controlling your music gear and software.
