Max Control ® FC-18
Max Control ® FC-18 MIDI Foot Controller is an advanced MIDI controller, with a design that arises as an evolution of existing foot controllers.
It is fully customizable, allowing to configure any of the buttons as preset or Instant Access, and even change the location of Bank Up/Down Bank buttons. Buttons can also send customized MIDI strings.
The 16x2 LCD displays shows preset and configuration information in an easy-to-read format. The numeric button layout allows multi-tap alphanumeric text entry in a fast and comfortable way.
During setup, the Help button provides context sensitive help.
The built-in true bypass relay operated audio loop along with the 9V power output provides switching and power for the first pedal in the effects chain. This avoids the use of long cables that would be needed to connect the pedal (for example, wah) to a rack switcher.
When another controller is plugged in the MIDI IN jack, all MIDI messages are forwarded to MIDI OUT/THRU, merging the MIDI messages . This way you can chain several FC-18.
There are 2 inputs for expression pedals, which are fully configurable, at global or preset level.
