Looking for midi foot controller/trigger?

Post by jim777 » Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:46 pm

Sorry if this is in the wrong section mods!

I am looking for something like a Roland PK-5 midi foot controller that doesn't have any sounds in it, just something more like my McMillen 12 step but bigger. I have to stare at the 12 step to avoid hitting 2 keys at once and the keys are small enough that the wrong pair of sneakers and I even miss notes.

Is there something out there I'm missing, that isn't $500 used?

thanks in advance!

Interesting this, I too have been looking for a foot controller. But they are soooo expensive! I guess it's just low demand and manufacturers needing to recoup their investments.

Anyway, I decided if I wanted one, there's a lot of DIY projects now, the midi can be done in a nunber of ways, Arduino and Kenton do a board for DIY, £82 https://kentonuk.com/product/sw-16/
There are other sources of the same thing.

By using one of this it's then possible to scheme up a foot controller that suits feet size, brain effort.

Studiologic MP series, the 13 note model sells new for $500. Add $200 for the 17 note model :?

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.
