Very, very, very cool. On the waitlist!
You don't have to remember, because each page has a name (which you can choose) and each parameter name and block is displayedI would also prefer if the knob labels were LCDs.
I think its impossible to remember 16 pages of parameters, and it kinda misses the point then.
If you come up with that and the price would not jump too high i would be highly interested.
That comes with its own set of imperfections and compromises. Either the parameter jumps instantly to a value that's miles away from what you intended, or the knob positions reflect the wrong values until you cross the current value. Both of those situations are yucky compared to the continuous encoders chosen for the product.Also, about the knobs, for future versions I personally wouldn't mind the option to just have industry standard 7 o'clock to 5 o'clock fixed position pots like you'd find on traditional amps...
I used to have a Line6 AX2, which was digital, that had knobs that behaved like this. The knobs were analog, but they were translated to MIDI info when you turned them. There were two settings. One would instantly change the parameter of the knob being adjusted when you adjusted it, and the other setting wouldn't change the parameter unless you actually crossed over the current value of the parameter with the knob.

I agree.Agreed: continuous rotary encoders aren't a perfect solution, either. But I think they're the best choice.
My biggest concern is using midi controller with this unit. I have a Liquid Foot controller and it needs a bi-directional communication to update effects states etc..
If i understand correctly you can only send, but not receive midi when using Midi controller with RAC12. That is a very big issue for me, because i think floor controller is a primary source of control, and with RAC12 it is getting very limmited.
It's done so i could release it but what would you do without a RAC12 ? ^^is RAC12Edit available to check out?
