Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?

[fannou18]

Hello I would like to know which pedals of control would be best for my eleven rack? VOODOO LAB Ground Control Pro or gold Fractal MFC-101? I have a G-LAB GSC2, I manage to put presets but impossible to put ON/OFF REVERB DELAY DISTO with CC… of the eleven, therefore I intend to change pedals to control the ELEVEN.
Thank you.

Does anyone have experience using the Fractal controller with 11R? How about availability?

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to program the GSC2 to send CC messages.

Here's the manual:

I manage to put ON/OFF the FX2 of the ELEVEN RACK, but impossible to make the same thing with the DELAY, it is always the fx2 which is ordered, it is a mystery for me, when I try to return the values of the ELEVEN for the distortion for example, it is the fx2 which is brought into service.

I'm not saying it'll be easy, given the tortured English of the GSC2 manual, but it looks as if it should be *possible* to assign CC numbers to match the Eleven Rack. Look in particular at pages 8 and 10, and the references to the mc3 and m3A modes. There's pretty clearly stuff missing from the manual, so you may need to puzzle out how it really works or try to get assistance directly from the vendor.

Either that, or your could buy a controller with a comprehensible manual…

If not, know if DIGIDESIGN will market pedals MIDDAY, like AUDIO FRACTAL with AXIS FX and pedals MFC-101.

Just my opinion, but it does kick ass.

Looks like the ART X15 is for goofyfoot guitarists

A pain in the ass to program patch names, but flexible enough to cater to almost any situation with the 11R, I reckon, would be the FC300. You can also use it in program mode, where you will need to arrange your patches in sequence on the11R.

A cheaper alternative would be the Behringer FCB1010. For me though, the FC300 is plenty big already, and FCB1010 is just overkill in the footprint and weight department.

yeah the FC300 is awesome, and it's very very flexible. But with the coming of the Expansion Pack, we may or may not see some new MIDI implementation in the 11R. Since the FC300 can only go up to CC95, it might no longer be up to snuff. We'll see March 22nd.

I've owned both the Ground Control Pro and the FCB1010. I stuck with the FCB1010, along with the awesome 11PROM.

The GCP buttons are loud, it's a pain to program, and no pedals mean more to buy and carry around.

The FCB includes two pedals, but the real magic is the 11PROM.... just plug and play with some real handy features. And it's $200 total for both the FCB and the 11PROM.
