Jamstik MFC1

The MFC1 is a versatile, fully mappable MIDI floor/desktop controller, compatible with any MIDI device—from keyboards to MIDI guitars. Customize its buttons, knobs, and expression or sustain pedal input for DAW control, preset scrolling, MIDI CC mapping, and more. With the included Creator software, set up is smooth, with options to choose from factory profiles or create custom configurations. Acting as a MIDI host, the MFC1 powers USB-based controllers without the need for a computer, simplifying your rig. For Jamstik MIDI Guitar users, exclusive features provide enhanced control over settings for a more seamless playing experience.

UNIQUE MAPPING OPTIONS: In addition to many standard MIDI messages, the MFC1 inputs can be mapped to MMC messages or Jamstik sysex messages to provide hands-free control of DAWs, Jamstik guitars, or the Jamstik Creator virtual instrument.

MODERN CONFIGURATION: The device can be configured via on-board menus, or via a configuration UI in the Jamstik Creator.

DEEP CUSTOMIZATION: MIDI actions can be renamed depending on user application. The device carries 9 user-customizable mapping profiles, which can easily be transferred to a computer for backup or sharing. The footswitch LED colors and behaviors can be customized within a profile.

One of the most compelling uses of the MFC1 is integrating the controller with an existing pedal rig while simultaneously controlling Jamstik MIDI Guitar settings. As Patrick Breen shows in his demo video, an MFC profile could be set up which sends MIDI Controller messages to MIDI-capable effects pedals, allowing fast access when performing or recording. Within the same profile, a knob or switch could be mapped to a setting on the Jamstik MIDI Guitar, allowing the user to transpose or toggle pitch bend on or off at the press of a footswitch. Another footswitch could be mapped to record/stop in the DAW. The result is a profile customized to the user’s needs, streamlining the process of recording guitar parts, MIDI parts, or both.
