Wow, where to start? What a great job documenting the rig by photo! What a great and organized rig. Massive power in a pint!

And how cool is it that the stand serves as a protection cage for the keyboards in transport!

Are you using the Liquid Foot to control the MOTU or the rack units directly? Or a little of both? I'd love to hear about your Liquid Foot opinions/experience.

Bless, and thanks again for a splendid job and for sharing same,

Pablo

90% of the time the FAMC LF controller is used only to send initial Program Changes to Cantabile, which in turn sets up the midi routings, splits, layers, controller mapping (CC11 to CC7 for instance), transposing, and sends initial PC messages to each board and module. There are a couple special cases where I use it to send Sysex to the Fantom XR to switch it between Patch and Performance modes. All midi messages run through Cantabile, which is connected to the MOTU 128 midi patch bay via USB.

16 cables, and the midi is snaked. The all fold up inside the rack though. Very easy tear-down...

SWITCHCRAFT 05DL5MX

In USA I get them from Redco Audio. I believe Farnell sells them in Europe

They are NOT cheap/inexpensive.

I finally got around to posting pix of my live setup. This was from last night's gig at a local sports bar. The FAMC Liquid Foot LF+ mini pedal unit sends Program Changes to the Win8.1 notebook/tablet running Cantabile3, which in turn sends out all the Program Changes to the Fantom, Nord and Motif rack. CanTab also controls all the transpose, layers, splits, CC mapping, etc.

I wish I could perform as well as my rig. :P
