January 21, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The MFC1 is a powerful, customizable MIDI floor controller designed for musicians seeking seamless integration and advanced control for any MIDI setup.

ANAHEIM, CA - January 2025 – Jamstik, the industry leader in cutting-edge MIDI guitar technology, proudly announces the release of its latest innovation, the MFC1 MIDI Floor Controller. Created for musicians looking to streamline their performance and production setups, the MFC1 offers a versatile, hands-free control platform that is compatible with any standard MIDI software or device, including keyboards, MIDI guitars, and more.

The MFC1 isn’t just another MIDI controller. It functions as both a standalone MIDI device and a MIDI host, offering musicians unparalleled flexibility. By powering and passing through MIDI data for USB-based MIDI controllers, the MFC1 allows musicians to create streamlined setups without the need for a computer that integrates seamlessly with their existing hardware and software. Simply daisy-chain your MIDI controllers directly into the MFC1 to reduce cable clutter and simplify your rig.

"The MFC1 is designed to empower musicians with freedom, versatility, and control in any setting," said Jonathan Keller, Senior Engineer and creator of the MFC1. "With its customizable features, seamless Jamstik integration, and universal MIDI compatibility, the MFC1 meets the demands of both live and studio environments, giving musicians a powerful tool they can rely on."

With the MFC1, musicians can map footswitch buttons, knobs, and a pedal input to perform a wide range of tasks, from DAW transport controls and preset scrolling to MIDI CC message mapping and beyond. The included Jamstik Creator software allows users to select factory profiles for popular DAWs, synths, and hardware, or craft custom profiles using premade actions and deep configuration options.

The MFC1’s features include:

Customizable Control Layout: Map footswitch buttons, knobs, and pedal inputs for DAW control, preset navigation, MIDI CC mapping, and more.
Integrated Jamstik Creator Software: Choose from factory profiles or build custom setups for seamless compatibility with MIDI devices, tailored through the Jamstik Creator app.
Unique MIDI Hosting Capability: Powers and passes through MIDI data for USB-based MIDI controllers without a computer, simplifying setups by allowing devices to be daisy-chained directly into the MFC1.
Efficient DAW and Synth Integration: Control sound control and macros for Jamstik Creator, any third-party synth plugin like Arturia's Analog Lab, Xfer Serum, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, as well as any hardware synth or effects pedal that accepts MIDI CC input.
Enhanced Integration for Jamstik MIDI Guitars: Designed with Jamstik MIDI Guitar users in mind, the MFC1 includes special profiles and dedicated menus for toggling pitch bend, switching MIDI modes, and adjusting Jamstik-specific settings for a more seamless experience.
