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).

Not sure about the pc1600, but with the pc1600x you wouldn't need to modify
it -
you can program it to convert incoming midi notes or program changes
to do whatever the 16 buttons are set up for. So you could use it with
any midi foot controller or pedals.
