Good luck trying to get anything out of Liquid Foot (FAMC)
Yes, that is a risk. I have not placed my order yet. That part is making me nervous.
Right now, it appears to be the only unit of its class. For me that's:
1) size - I want something small - my GCP is too big. I have a mental block that I want it to fit in the front pouch of the KPA bag. KFC wont' fit.
2) full MIDI command set (my GCP is very limited). I want to send MIDI notes to my synth and lights
3) map the buttons any way I want as my rig changes.
4) available on the market - I understand this is debatable.
5) has a published spec I can read
6) has a free editor I can play with to understand how it works
7) will work with other MIDI devices without having to wait on KPA to decide if they want the KPA to generate MIDI messages
is expensive as sh*t... oh wait, that's not good.
9) requires 2-3 cables to do what the KFC wants to do with 1.. oh wait, that's not good.
I need a unit that can integrate my KPA, my synths, and my light right, and anything else.
As much as I'd like to get the dedicated Kemper Foot Controller, a single ethernet connector pretty much tells the story and disqualifies it from my list based on what I wrote above. But Kemper isn't out to make a general purpose MIDI controller - clearly stated here that's not what they want to build.
I think that makes me Mr. Grumpy Pants for sharing this with you guys, but I had hoped to reach a different conclusion and see more evolution and information on the KFC within the last year to sway me another way.
Not trying to dis anyone, just commenting on my "evolution" in the "evolution" thread.
