Anyone have any idea how far ahead the FC-6's are compared to the 8/9/19 date for the FC-12's?
Well, IF the parts where sold out from under Fractal's agreement - that's another matter. But the communication from FAS could be way more concise, and more often.
Not a huge complaint, I'm in the same boat as others. But it certainly does have the appearance of FAS not knowing what's going on when it comes to their business and wait list.
In the end, it's not the end of the world.
Here's the deal...
The Axe III is not an inexpensive unit.
It is purchased by many live performers.
To perform live, one almost always needs a foot controller.
The FC series was a selling point of the Axe III, and is easier to program than 3rd party midi controllers.
It sucks to have an Axe III sitting around and waiting for a FC before you can use it live.
That is really the issue. And I'm sorry, but I have ZERO interest in messing around with or paying for a 3rd party controller, which is a PITA, when the FC and its implementation was a selling point of the Axe III. I had enough programming fun and labeling with the MFC-101. Thanks.

That's the date for both FC-6 and FC-12. Because more people choose the FC-12, we were sending extra FC-6 invitations for awhile, but for now, things are on an even keel. Also, with delays in the parts needed to build the FCs, plus continued rapid growth of the list while we've worked it down, I need to adjust my forecast about when the list might be cleared to August.
Wow!! I just got my “invitation after 7 month wait.. It will be in my working station very soon yay!!! I’m so happy!!!Yeah I’m with you I’m waiting for the FC 12
I have read we’re some people have both but I don’t remember we’re I had read the post.
With the 12 I should have plenty of choices
CongratulationsWow!! I just got my “invitation after 7 month wait.. It will be in my working station very soon yay!!! I’m so happy!!!
Hey it’s the little things lolThere is nothing wrong with waiting. You get more joy out it.
I buy a scratch off, I don't scratch it... I wait. I put it in the front pocket and I win. I figure out how I will spend the money, who gets nothing, if I'll retire. I get a scratch off and a dream.
Once I scratch it off and get nothing..... then that's it. It's the dream you should be enjoying.
And waiting for Santa... all month of December.... wonderful.
I'm on at least a 2 year wait for KOT pedal. Love it. The Axe4... I would join tomorrow.
Thanks, you’ll get it soon!!Congratulations
I have my credit card in hand still waiting.
I’m happy for you and am glad I’m getting closer yes indeed
I think expectations about how much communication is owed by some on this forum are being set to unreasonable levels. Situations evolve. Things happen beyond FAS's control. Shipments get stuck in Customs. Capacitors get in short supply. Shit happens. Deal with it.
People continue to form opinions here and most will continue to be wrong because they're based upon speculation, hearsay and lack of information. There's way too many armchair CEO's that think they know what's going on or what Fractal should do.
Nothing that anyone directly associated with Fractal has said could lead anyone to the conclusion that they don't know what's going on with their business. Might be a good idea to check sources and read more than the last couple pages of a thread before offering your 2 cents. You may end up getting change back.
Everyone has to get an at-bat once in a while.
Not sure if this is allowed, but anyone who has an active invite for an FC-12, but I'd willing to buy one off of you for the actual cost of the unit + actual shipping + $100 extra via PayPal.
