I love StaffPad. On the Facebook user group, I feel like people complain excessively; don't know why. These new features are pretty kick butt. I haven't tried them, so don't know if they're glitchy or not, but the vision of this program is really great. -

On the app itself as a whole or the specific Piano Capture feature? -
The HC2 only has MIDI DIN teminals, so I first connect it to one of THESE Then the USB out from that into the computer. I do actually use a powered USB hub, but it you have enough USB sockets that's not strictly essential. The Midi controller is USB powered, and simply plugs into another USB socket. The B3X has the option to either select any one MIDI input or 'ANY' - which connects all it can find..... That's what I'm using here. The controller is programmed so that the fader, switches and rotary controls output the required CC codes on channel 16 Upper and lower keyboard, and pedal outputs from the HC2 are fixed MIDI note output codes on channels 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The 'inverse colour' key presets are actually also note codes, so I've used those to control some of the buttons below the faders. The controller has 4 'scene' buttons, and I currently use: Scene 1 for Leslie speed and brake control, vibrato settings (all 6 positions on a single rotary control) and percussion on'off and harmonic select. Scene 2 has the faders programmed for the upper drawbars. Scene 3 has the faders programmed for the lower drawbars. I use 2 of the rotary encoders on scenes 2 and 3 for pedal drawbar control. There is a rotary encoder at the top left which is pre-programmed with program change codes, and that can be used to select presets -- although it is a bit fiddly and critcal. By sheer luck the HC2 has 5 preset 'registration memory' buttons which output program change codes. Those are a useful and easy way to select the first 5 presets. That particular MIDI controller appears online in several guises.... The one I use is a UK only device badged 'Sub Zero' Other variations include THIS ONE ...... I'm sure there are others...... So, for not a lot of money it's possible to get quite a lot of control over the B3X functions.... and the HC2 seems to work reliably, even though it is 30 years old. I've had mine from new, but you can often find them on Ebay for around £50- £100. Apart from replacing 'sticky' pedal rubber spacers in mine about 10 years ago, I've never had any other faults. And they easily split into 4 managable parts, so are easy to fit into a standard small hatchback car -- which can be useful! -
The feature examples in the video look pretty cool. The reviews are kind of rough in the app store. I'd be interested to hear if or when anyone here puts it to use.. -
saw Peter Gabrial last week with Manu Katche and Tony Levin as the rhythm section and a selection of other very acomplished musicians including David Rhodes on guitar. Words will not do justice. Red Rain did bring me to tears.

Thank you indeed, brother Mike. Consider me a convert. 😊 dB -

I agree. Somebody once asked me if I could do an entire live show using only one plug-in, and I cited M-Tron Pro... and that was version 2. mike -
Excellent work, Mike. I grab a Mellotron when I need one, but the plug is so comprehensive, its very much like a well-endowed synth. Sometimes the tweaks you can make blur the line between M-Tron and unique instruments from Klevgrand or Cherry Audio. Its safe to say its a major Key Buy winner, for old Keyboard readers. 🤓
