When the FC was announced there was a lot of speculation that the FC commanded a higher price due to the additional features it would have over the Helix foot control. Now that’s it’s released what are these features?

So it’s jist a higher price but same or less features?
Yes it appears as though they do the exact same things though it appears the mini displays are a little less versatile on the FC. I, like others, thought perhaps there would be some features that differentiate it from others on the market. Sort of like how the AXE FX differentiates itself. If it doesn’t then that’s cool but that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Don’t need need to be questioned about things being said in the past. Especially considering the amount of threads that are merged, deleted, edited etc.
All the fanbois out tonight. Not one of you have been able to answer how the FC differentiates itself. You just want to question my statement that this had been posted about in the past.
So far I’ve gotten that it works with the AXE FX 3. If that’s it then fair.
Many of those questions aren't yes-or-no questions.That’s a good list to consider. Many of those the answer is yes except for the chaining.
Was asking about the helix control, not the helix.
On the software side too, looking at what we know of the feature set.thats a good list on the hardware side. Seems like on the HW side the only advantage on the Helix is the mini displays being slightly better. Though I guess you could argue either way on the aluminum vs steel. Lower weight vs slightly more rugid.
Correct. Which I'm glad of, TBH. The minute some drunk in the crowd (or your singer) dumps his drink on it, or the sky dumps a few raindrops on it, you'll wish there were no such thing as capacitive switches.The FC doesn’t have the Capacitive touch-sensitive switches, correct?
I like Fractal's way. I program the FC from my Axe-Fx (and eventually from Axe-Edit). All I ever have to do to program my FC is step on it.I suppose though I’ve not read of it being a problem for the helix guys. Not to say it hasn’t. Just haven’t seen it. I tried to keep the drunks away when I had it. It does make programming a bit easier when you get the hang of it but for me I personally don’t spend a lot of time programming regardless.
That’s a good list to consider. Many of those the answer is yes except for the chaining. This also reminded my of the syncing too which I’m not aware of the helix being able to do.

Dude, when did you become the "Fun-killer Committee Chairman?" I totally can't see you in that role.That’s the first thing I turned off when I had a Helix and I turned it off almost immediately after I got the HX Stomp as well. I was constantly having it go into edit mode by accident, it is seriously annoying.
