One Control Gecko MkIII OC-GECV3
Lightweight, compact MIDI controller
20 presets – 16 Channels
The Gecko OC-GECV3 is a compact, lightweight solution for quickly switching between programs on MIDI devices. With an increasing number of guitar pedals being built with MIDI capabilities, having the ability to access presets in a quick and efficient manner has become an important part of playing live. The Gecko MKIII gives guitarists three modes to access programs. Gecko MKIII has 20 presets. Each preset can store one PC (program change) message for each of 16 MIDI channels. In modes E1 and E2, you can edit presets. PC # can be set between 0 to 199*. Also, if set to OFF, no MIDI signal will be sent to that MIDI channel. Each individual MIDI channel can be turned off globally. Since MIDI channels that are set to OFF globally are not displayed during preset editing, setup can be shortened. Also, for each MIDI channel, you can set the CC number to send when pressing the OK/TAP footswitch and use it as tap tempo control. Since you can set individual CC numbers for each channel, you can control tap tempo of up to 16 devices at once.
Perhaps you have a rack effect you’ve always wanted to use live but going back between songs an scrolling between presets is just out of the question. Perhaps you’ve got a digital pedal and you’d like to use more than one preset in a single song. Perhaps you play a synthesizer and don’t have time to dial the preset menus in between songs. These are all scenarios in which the One Control Gecko MKIII would be a useful tool. The amount of digital effects being used in live situations continues to grow. One Control responded to the need to have easy access to your favorite presets in an extremely quick and easy manner. For guitarists who use rack effects that have complex controls, they know that using them in a live situation is quite difficult. With the Gecko you can be at ease knowing that you can use your favorite rack-based effects and not have to worry about having a tech scroll through presets for you… or, even worse, having to go back to your rack between songs and change a preset yourself!
