!! CFC-4 Wanted !!If anybody has a set of CFC-4 pedals for sale send me an email using my contact form. I am looking for a second CFC-4 to have as a backup unit since it is such an important part of my rig. |
Many people have contacted me for information and help with Lake Butler products. This seems to be a result of my gear list page which mentions the RFC-1 MIDI MIDIgator and the CFC-4 Continous Control Pedals. I too have seen almost no mention of these products or how to obtain repair information or help on the web. If anybody has any updated information about the status of the company or how to get service and/or parts feel free to email me and I'll add it to this page. So.... I have decided to post what little information that I have.
The Midi Mitigator is a midi foot controller that allows the user to organize your midi system by song titles (or other messages) that are displayed on a large 16 character Alpha/Numeric display. There are 8 rubber covered footswitches to operate the RFC-1 during performance and a 32 key membrane keyboard for use in editing command strings and function selecting. There are 128 memory locations available allowing 640 command strings. Each string having up to 255 bytes in length consisting of any commands allowed by the midi specification. Also has a set mode to allow 3 different set lists that can programmed in any order desired out of the main memory. The continuous controller input requires pedal with a 75Kohm potentiometer. Other features include
I have used this unit to do some pretty crazy stuff. For example, I set up a patch that sent sysex commands to every unit in my rack to configure them to the proper MIDI channel and recieve mode in case something happened to hose my setup. I have also used the unit to start and stop a sequencer. And since the RFC-1 can also send note on/off information I have used it to like bass pedals on several occasions and even had it play chords with the individual notes being sent to different synth modules on separate MIDI channels. Try to do that with any other footswitch!
Lake Butler Sound Company seems to have gone out of business. I have recieved several emails from people who say the have tried to contact them but had no luck. As a result I am posting the following information about the company for people who need to contact them for service or parts, although I am not sure if they still offer any level of support at all. And before someone gives me a bag of crap for posting this, I want to say that this information is public record and was obtained from Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
