Bigger

Yes, bigger! (And more switches!)
-
Smaller and sooner
-
Bigger (with looper !!), sooner and cheaper
-
Both!

Both!
Hahaha, and all of the above
-
Bigger! some of you must have "SMALL FEET" HA! HA!
-
I would love an all in one unit with a cc pedal!! And a touch screen display!! I beg you'd sell a ton of them , even at $2,500 you'd kick the Axe Fx out of the market!! Talk about fast set up time for gigs!
-
Sorry for my spelling " I Bet you'd sell alot of them" everything is going touch screen and with an all in one unit all you would need is a powered monitor or in-ears to have the fastest, neatest set up around! You could store it in the overhead on the plane!

Well... almost a year later.
I think as the evolution has taken place I've evolved to seriously considering the Liquid Foot + series. LF JR+
There appears to be no new information to sway or inform me otherwise.

Good luck trying to get anything out of Liquid Foot (FAMC). I ordered off them over 6 months ago and nothing. Countless e mails asking them whats going on. Now they don't even reply. Worst customer service ever
-
has anyone tried the APOGEE GIO? i have one here not being used... would love to put it to use with my KPA!
-
Liquid Foot + series are incredible. I must say their customer service is incredibly good from my experience with my unit. Timely emails and even direct phone calls from Jeff himself to solve my problem.
With that said, if you are trying to purchase from them they do not respond. They simply add you to the list and then notify you when it's available.
Buy one used. That's what I did and I love my 12+.
YMMV

Now that the Tuner doesn't need a dedicated footswitch, I think I will change my vote to the Small one.

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.
-
... and yes, I am fishing for Kemper to publish their plans as a last ditch sanity check in my decision making.
-
Maybe you'd like to check this site. I don't own one, but it seems to be a very versatile footcontroller too.

He's the same guy designing the UnO chip. and yes, the Gordius are great!

+1. The design is a bit awkward to me tho'.
