I searched and didn't see this already. So if someone already asked, sorry!
Current limit is 6. With the FC-6 and FC-12 out now and the ability to do CS MIDI, I'm finding this is a very useful combination. I can dedicate buttons on my FC-12 in specific layouts to control MIDI devices and label them accordingly with custom labels. Currently I'm using it to control the BandHelper app on my iPad. I've easily used up 6 CS's. Start Automation, Next /Prev MIDI preset, Next / Prev Page, Next Song.
Not sure how much of an undertaking this would be, but having enough CS's to match the amount of switches for the FC's would be great. That would be at least 24 if using both TAP/HOLD on an FC-12.
So why not bluetooth page turners? Sure, for my current usage of BandHelper it would work. But it's using Keyboard commands and not true MIDI. Also, I like the idea of putting this into the FC. It reduces the amount of items I have to deal with. And it's very slick!
(Disclaimer - I'm using / testing out bluetooth midi on the Axe-Fx III and also Axe-Fx to iConnectMIDI2+ to get what the Axe sends out the DIN's to the iPad).
Also, I just starting using CS MIDI. So hopefully I'm not missing something obvious in this approach that will kill my workflow regarding the FC's and assigning CS's to the various buttons.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I can't find how to update title. But maybe it should be:
Increase number of "FC Controllers" CS MIDI Switches
