Maybe, but it’s a hell of a lot of money to lay out on something that won’t do what I need in hope that one day it will.
And if it’s a ‘dumb’ controller adding MIDI capabilities would be more than a firmware update.
I think you misunderstood Cliff - it's not more than a firmware away since the midi block of the Axe III + FC6/12 resides inside the Axe III.
Anyway, you can continue to use your MFC or a cheap generic midi FC until the full feature set of the FC6/12 is known and decide by then, no need as it is to lay out money from the get go if you are unsure it they will fit you needs. My bet is that we'll know a lot more of the FC features before the Axe III comes out for sale in Europe.
I'm banking on the FC6/12 to be awesome once they are available to buy, so I'm just waiting patiently to see if the final feature set is one that works for me or if I'll have to go with something else like a RJM GT series board.
