1 INTRODUCTION
FEATURE SUMMARY
The FC comes in two different versions: FC-12 with 12 switches and FC-6 with 6 switches.
Aside from the number of switches, the two models are identical in capabilities.
EZ mode makes it simple to assign the function of any switch with one tap and a few adjustments.
Built-in footswitch categories include banks, presets, scenes, effects, looper, control switches, and more.
Override the function of up to 24 switches on a per-preset basis.
The Tap Tempo function flashes the tempo on the footswitch LED ring.
The Tuner function shows the Axe-Fx III tuner in the main display of the FC Controller.
The FC is plug-and-play with simple settings, or you can create your own Layouts for the ultimate custom controller.
Layouts are “Pages” of footswitches that you can switch between on the fly, granting far greater control with fewer switches.
You can change layouts on the fly using the “Master Layout Menu”, accessible by an easy
footswitch combination — or with special dedicated “Layout Select” footswitches.
Every footswitch can be assigned up to two functions: one for TAP and one for HOLD.
With “Layout Link,” any Tap or Hold footswitch can also change the layout on one or more connected FC controllers.
Every footswitch has its own variable-color, variable brightness LED ring which also shows the
status of on, off, or dim depending on the state of whatever the switch is connected to.
Every footswitch also has its own customizable, 128×32 graphical Mini LCD display.
Mini-Displays can automatically and dynamically display preset names, scene
names, effect names, channels, and more, including custom text.
The 2×20 Transflective Main Display shows the current preset, scene and information about switches when you activate them.
Add up to Four External Pedals and Four external switches per FC unit, integrated natively with the Axe-Fx III modier system.
SSS™ switches are extremely quiet and durable, with no mechanical switch contacts to fail.
The FASLINK™ II port of the Axe-Fx III provides 2-way communication, and will also provide
phantom power to the rst FC unit in a daisy chain. (Axe-Fx II not supported).
FASLINK™ II “thru” port for connecting up to four FC units total in a single daisy chained rig.
In a daisy chain, units can “Mirror” each other, so a tech off-stage can share switching responsibilities with an artist on-stage.
The FC can trigger the Axe-Fx III to generate and transmit MIDI messages from its own MIDI out port to connected devices.
The FC is built tough for stages and touring with a powder-coated 16-gauge steel chassis and tough protective end-caps.
Most FC features are built in to the Axe-Fx III, so you won’t need to update or backup your FC controller separately.
As with all Fractal Audio products, this means that the FC will enjoy a future of updates and innovations for years to come.
FC-12 Dimensions: 20.2″ x 9.2″ x 3.5″ (512mm x 233mm x 88mm). Weight: 11 lbs (5 kg).
FC-6 Dimensions: 11.2″ x 9.2″ x 3.5″ (283mm x 233mm x 88mm). Weight: 6.7 lbs (3 kg).
A full suite of FC editing tools for Axe-Edit, our software editor/librarian for the Axe-Fx III, is under
development and will be released during Q1 2019. We are working on a general FC editor, Layout
Library, Switch Library, drag and drop designer, integrated “Per-Preset” feature, and more.
