Morningstar Engineering is a Singapore-based builder of programmable MIDI foot controllers and loop switchers for guitarists, bassists, and electronic musicians. Founded in 2016, the company focuses on giving players deep control over MIDI-capable pedals, amps, multi-effects units, and software from a single pedalboard-friendly device.

The product line centers on the MC series of MIDI controllers, including the compact MC3, the widely used MC6 and MC6 PRO, and the larger MC8 and MC8 PRO. These are paired with the ML5 and ML10X MIDI-controllable loop switchers, which bring non-MIDI effects into a programmable rig. Every switch can be assigned multiple actions — press, release, double-tap, or long-press — and configured through the free Morningstar Editor app on desktop or mobile.

The brand has built a following among pedalboard enthusiasts for its flexibility, multiple I/O options (5-pin DIN, 1/4" TRS, 3.5mm, and USB), and an active user forum and MIDI Dictionary that document how to integrate third-party devices. Morningstar controllers are often used to tie together complex rigs built around pedals from makers like Strymon, Chase Bliss, Meris, and Eventide.

Morningstar Engineering has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including MIDI Foot Controllers, Effects Pedal Accessories, and Switch Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Blues, and Jazz. Notable users include Ariel Posen, Ángel Parra, and Josh Smith.
