Blackstar Live Logic MIDI Controller

A Controller Designed for Modern MIDI Setups

The Live Logic was designed to bridge the gap between the pedalboard world and the studio: a compact format, clear on-stage readability thanks to its LED display, and a "plug and map" approach to take control of your preset changes, effects, or an Ableton set. It integrates equally well with traditional MIDI gear and USB-oriented setups, with the possibility to use it as a USB-MIDI gateway.

Who Is It For, and In What Contexts?

This footcontroller is aimed at guitarists, bassists, and producers who want to trigger presets, automate parameters, or launch samples without letting go of their instrument. In rehearsals, it simplifies sound management from one song to another. In concerts, it secures control (banks, scenes, tap tempo via clock, etc.). In the home studio, it becomes an ideal foot controller for recording, looping, or controlling plugins in real time.

Modes, Controls, and Customization

The Live Logic offers two modes. In Patch mode, the switches send Program Change messages to navigate your sounds, with bank management to access a large number of patches, and numbering options 0-127 or 1-128 depending on your equipment. In Custom mode, each footswitch can be independently assigned (PC, CC, Note, Clock), with min/max value settings for expression pedals and choice of momentary or on/off behavior.

Sound Character

The Live Logic does not modify the sound directly: there is no audio processing or coloration. Its "signature" is felt in the playing fluidity and control precision: clean preset changes, more musical continuous control via expression pedal, and more coherent synchronization of time-based effects thanks to MIDI clock messages. In short, it helps you stay focused on the performance, not the pedalboard.
