RE: [loopers] good Midi controller



Title: RE: [loopers] good Midi controller

In a state of money madness, I almost purchased a Kenton Control Freak
(http://www.kentonuk.com) .... The assignable faders,
the internal patch/filters are cool... and I am almost certain that you
can snapshot the settings and trigger them via an external pedal
board....

look, I know I keep banging on about this, but the kenton is just a clone of the peavey. when I bought my pc1600, there was absolutely nothing else on the market; the jl cooper fadermaster was the only remotely comparable product.

the pc1600 has 16 faders, 16 buttons and either 2 cv's or 1 cv and 2 footswitches. it has 100 nameable memories and 100 scene memories, and each memory can also store a "setup string" which is a series of /any/ midi instructions up to 256 bytes long. it can filter/merge a variety of incoming messages and will respond to pc changes itself if required. it requires no pc to programme and has a learn-mode. it is built like a brick out-house. mine has crashed once in 7 years. I don't work for peavey.

I'm toying with the idea of adapting the pc1600 into a foot-operated configuration (maybe using parts from the rather less impressive fcb1010).

duncan.
