Let me start by saying that I dont own an FC 6 or 12 because, as many people have expressed, it lacks enough buttons to control everything *I* would want from a single layout so I vowed to never buy one. I've personally been super vocal about this because I was such a fan on the MFC design where everything was right there in front of you and you didnt need to really tap dance to do everything you needed like have youre scenes laid out across the bottom 5 switches and then have all your effects on the 10 switches above, and still have an up and down on the right, reveal, and two switches at the very top for tuner and tap functions. It was perfect, aside from ability to change layouts pre-preset.
So I dont know if this exists, and if it does please correct me, but I think a fair compromise from not having more than 12 physical switches and to get more out of each layout that only allows for 12 functions, there should be additional virtual lines per layout and the two far right (or left if you prefer) are line up and down switches so you can scroll to the other lines, access more functions, and not have to change layouts.
So for instance, if I want to be able to access 5 scenes/amp channels and 10-15 effects on the same layout, I could have the bottom 5 switches be scenes, then lines 2,3, & 4 be effects, and all I would have to do to reach those effects would be to hit the same switch 1 or 2 times. This would minimize navigation to different menus and be much more conducive to ease in a live setting.
