Last I knew there were no more than 24 hours in "today" .
I actually tried to buy liquid foot jr+. Emailed them maybe 5 times, not a single reply.
the worst thing is, they actually made great products, but the communication issue is so frustrating.
Still have my LF mini and if it had a couple more expression ports like Jr + would be a perfect midi controller.
I’ve been thinking about getting a small controller for my Axe-Fx II and pedals. I was thinking about the LF Mini or the Mastermind LT.
Do you have an Axe-Fx II or III?
A II.
Appreciate the information. My biggest concern about the LF is all the reports of poor service and lack of support from FAMC.
The product is awesome, and had such potential. Who knows what the X series could have been (if it ever really existed).
I can believe it was hacked. Once. Maybe twice. But if it's still being hacked every time it goes down, he's not doing what's needed to protect it. And the whole "we're working through tickets and are almost caught up!" thing he posts every time seems like it's untrue, or he just has absolutely no ability to follow through on anything.
I also fully believe he had things going on in his life, including what we heard about his son. My heart goes out to him and I hope his son pulled through. But he's disappeared many times, and even when there's a legit reason, if he'd just communicate it people would be far more understanding.
I also believe that the x series was real, at least as a prototype. I seem to recall at one point that he said he'd done a full production run. That I doubt. That's a lot of up front money to shelve without delivering anything.
I do hope he'll open source it, but I have my doubts he will. I am a programmer, though I don't know what it's written in and I haven't done much with embedded systems. I'd certainly love to have a shot to try.
I'm just disappointed. It's such a good product, just ruined by the disappearing acts and constant excuses. At some point I'll probably switch to the FC series, though at this stage the LF is working. It just seems like eventually, it will need some update to keep working with the Axe, and he just won't be there.
If you're used to using a LF+, especially Set List and Song mode or being able to select the menu for Channels ABCD, you will be very disappointed in the FAS FC's.
I would like to speak to this. I've worked with several customers who were delighted with the FC after switching from LF. Perhaps the many benefits offset the few compromises. Perhaps you would consider rephrasing your assertion as, "you MAY be disappointed"
I like the Arduino idea.
Also let me say that BOTH of the features you're asking for ("Channels Smart Menu" and "Song/Set List") are on the roadmap for the FC.
