Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars.
If you're a guitarist or producer using MIDI gear, the Disaster Area MIDI Baby 3 is like a tiny command center for your pedalboard or studio. Think of it as three programmable footswitches in one compact box, each with its own LED (you can even change the colours via the web editor). Connect it to your computer with USB, use the intuitive online config tool, and set it up to send program changes, CC messages, MIDI notes, tap tempo, clock sync—you name it. It works with 5-pin MIDI devices, USB MIDI gear (like Zoom Multistomp or Red Panda pedals), and even lets you connect expression pedals or extra footswitches via its MultiJacks. Want to scroll through presets on your Chase Bliss pedal? Control your DAW transport? Send clock to multiple synths? This little box can do it. The web editor makes tweaking settings a breeze, and you can save different setups for different rigs. Seriously, if your setup involves MIDI, the MIDI Baby 3 makes it way more flexible and hands-free.
