1) It's simply the most powerful Midi controller you'll ever find.
   With loop-specific capabilities being added as I type. 
2) Setup is not difficult, but does need manual reading.
3) Much more transportable than the fcb1010
4) CC from pedals is very smooth.
5) Support is excellent.
6) Well built.
7) Very low latency, faster than fcb1010 

Xavier is very attentive to his customers,
and responds very quickly to sensible feature requests.
(also responds quickly to non-sensible requests on occasion )

Perfect, 2 scenarios that would never need midi.

If you press slowly, it's silent.
If you press quick enough for rhythmically accurate looping then
it's audible, particularly the release of the switch.
In volume, it's slightly louder than the tap on the EH Stereo Memory Man,
but not as loud as the Bypass.

no,
not possible with the high brightness screen
