Need a small MIDI foot pedal controller

Vaughan · Post by **Vaughan** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 3:30 pm

Does anyone have any recommendations for a relatively small MIDI foot pedal? The Behringer FCB1010 is okay but kind of big. I hate carrying loads of stuff to gigs.

Thanks,

That's kind of interesting I guess. Any other pre-made solutions for small foot controllers?

This is more like it: Look at the foot controller in this..

I can't find a website for this, though. I will email the address listed in that comments box.

get a barebone computer keyboard, like this one:

35 usd, airmail included. It has screw terminals, so you can connect stuff to it without even soldering. USB-powered, very small foot print.
The foot-switches themselves are only 1-2 bucks each on ebay, and you can use any industrial-grade button.

I have Roland EV-5 and it's very compact.

There is nothing on there. I think you are wrong about Moog releasing a MIDI foot controller.

Also, that EV-5 has no footswitches.. it needs to have some of these. Maybe I will be forced to buy the Behringer in the end.

Any other suggestions?

The MidiBuddy is great if you're OK using software to conver the program change messages to some other type of control signal.

and do they use midi?

nonnus · Post by **nonnus** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:43 am

no,
they ususally feature 1/4 jacks that are connected into most midi controllers

my remote 25 for example has 2 inputs, for expression and sustain pedals wich in midi can be mapped to any cc...
