Aaron has a Fractal fc12 on stage. He states that for a "perfect" show, all he uses is the tuner function. Intervals mainly use a daw running their patch changes through midi. Aaron likes the fc12 as aposed to their old footswitches. This is because as opposed to the old footswitches, the fc12 actually working in conjuction with the midi changes in the daw. The fc12 will switch to presets, and preset banks at the same time as the Rack unit is receiving patch changes. This allows Aaron to know where he is in terms of presets for the set, if their laptop goes down. Without this, if the laptop went down, Aaron might have been lost because the footswitch didn't switch to the most recently used presets bank
