Hi Louie, The MIDI Mitigator (RFC-1) can send: Program Change, Control Change, Pitch Change, Channel Mode, Note On, Note Off, Polyphonic Aftertouch, Channel Pressure, All Notes Off, SysEx, System Common, and System Real-Time messages. The RFC-1 is easy to program and use but you need to know hexadecimal numbers. From the manual: "The RFC-1 will generate, store, and transmit anyM IDI command string, up to 255 bytes long, allowed by the MIDI specification. By using the "Hexidecimal Mode," it will generate command strings NOT allowed by the MIDI specification. For this reason, it is the responsibility of the user to determine what effect, if any, the transmitted command strings will have on the interfaced equipment. This should be done by reading the literature provided with any equipment interfaced with the RFC-1." Since the Mitigator can send data to any MIDI channel, then it can control 16 devices, so long as you can do it within the 255 byte limitation. If you can't, then you can split up your command between two pedals. There are five pedals labeled A, B, C, D, and E. My unit came with a 100-130V; 50-60Hz wall wart. I have no idea if Lake Butler ever made power supplies suitable for other power systems. Unfortunately, Lake Butler no longer exists. But if you have a converter, you can use the existing supply. I bought a converter over here at Radio Shack and it worked fine in the UK and in Belgium. Warning! There is no support since Lake Butler is no more. Operation is easy with the manual. But repairs, if you ever need any, might be problematic. I love the RFC-1 but you might wish to consider buying a newer controller whose manufacturer still exists.
